West Somerset Micro Providers offer care solutions across West Somerset

My name is Victoria James and I am the Network Lead for West Somerset Micro-Providers, I live and work across West Somerset and care passionately that people are able to access the care that may be needed to stay at home for as long as it is possible.

What is a Micro-Provider?
In 2007 Somerset County Council set up a community scheme that enabled
people that needed care and or support to have the support needed to stay at home. Just like the community that may need help, the community that offers this support are called Micro Providers. Each Micro- Provider is self employed, so either paid privately by the person or the Micro Provider is paid by Somerset County Council. If you need care then it is your choice how this works for you.
Somerset County Council ensures that every Micro-Provider meets the high
standards set by the local authority. All are insured and have a DBS (criminal records check) ensuring that the support offered is safe and I and Somerset County Council have a robust quality assurance support if it is needed.
If I can help with more information or you would like to discuss how we can help or if you would like to become a Micro-Provider please call me on the following number 07475803652
Thank you
Victoria
