Netherclay Home Care: a little background information

Netherclay Home Care Ltd (NHC) was established in early 1993.  NHC was registered with Somerset County Council in 1996 and with the Commission of Social Care Inspection in April 2003. Our aim is the provision of quality home care, in order to support service users  to live independently in their own homes.

In order to underline our commitment to a quality service Netherclay Home Care was recognised as an Investors In People, a nationally recognised quality award, in 2002 and again in 2005, which emphasises our commitment to staff, training, development and support.

Netherclay Home Care has delivered home support to Somerset Social Services  on a spot purchase basis since 1994 with a three year block contract awarded in 1996 and a further 5 year block contract awarded in 1999.

In October 2004 Netherclay Home Care was awarded a long term strategic partnership contract to deliver: Home Support, Supporting People Services, a Sitting Service, Initial Response & Children & Families services.

We have provided service to the following service user groups: elderly, physical disabilities under 60 years of age and  Children & Families.

Netherclay Home Care is part of a group of companies, which includes Netherclay House Residential Home and Chelston Park Nursing and Residential Home.

Netherclay House Residential Home was established in 1972 and provides quality residential care to 40 residents. Netherclay House is set in beautiful grounds bordering the river Tone in the village of Bishops Hull, some one & a half miles from the county town of Taunton.

At Netherclay House we also offer self contained apartments set in the grounds, close to main care home. They offer the same levels of care and service, while providing greater independence.  Residents can use all the facilities and services provided in the main care home.

Chelston Park Nursing & Residential Home was acquired in 2000. Chelston Park is a dual registered home registered for 36 residents on the outskirts of Wellington, some five and a half miles from Taunton and 5 minutes from junction 26 of the M5 motorway. Chelston is unique in the area in that it combines a manageable size, giving a homely feel, with first class nursing facilities set in extensive flat grounds and beautiful views towards the Blackdown Hills and Wellington Monument.
