About care in TA2
TA2 covers the northern residential suburbs of Taunton, the county town of Somerset, and sits within Somerset Council's adult social care commissioning footprint following the 2023 merger of Somerset County Council with the four district councils. The 10 care homes here provide 278 beds with an average CQC rating of 3.8; Somerset has faced significant financial pressures on its adult social care budget in recent years following the council's emergency budget and government intervention in 2023, making the stability of council-funded placement funding a relevant consideration for families. Taunton's geography — midway between Exeter and Bristol — gives families good transport options, and the town centre's retail and NHS facilities are within easy reach of most TA2 care homes.
