About this company

Care South is a not-for-profit charity providing residential care homes and home care services across Dorset, Somerset and Devon. It offers residential, dementia, nursing and respite care within its care homes, alongside assisted living developments and care at home services supporting people to live independently. As a not-for-profit organisation, profits are reinvested into care, staffing, facilities and community activities rather than distributed to shareholders. Homes are regulated by the Care Quality Commission. The charity has grown from its original residential care offering to include specialist dementia care, nursing care and domiciliary support, and continues to develop new care homes and assisted living communities in the south of England.
