Types of home care we provide in Taunton
At The Good Care Group, we’re proud to offer respite care and live-in care in Taunton and the surrounding area.
Live-in care in Taunton
As the name suggests, we can organise for one of our carers to live with you, ensuring care is available 24 hours a day, as and when needed. This type of care allows you to stay at home in the place you love and feel comfortable, rather than experiencing the stress of moving somewhere else. If you or a loved one has more complex health needs, like dementia or stroke, live-in care may be a suitable option.
At The Good Care Group, we pay close attention when matching our live-in carers to our clients to ensure we can deliver the best care possible. In Taunton, we choose carers who have experience with specific health conditions, considering their interests, likes and personality to ensure they’re a great match. Even if your needs are complex or you have a medical condition requiring specialist care, we can meet your individual needs.
Why choose home care from The Good Care Group?
As one of the only live-in care providers awarded with an ‘Outstanding’ rating by the CQC, we’re very pleased to be keeping as many people as possible living in their own homes with our exceptional care. We believe there’s nowhere better than the comfort and familiarity of your own home, and that’s why we’re dedicated to delivering the very best home care to our clients in Taunton.

Jessica Monaghan
Hourly Regional Manager,
I’m Jessica, Hourly Care Manager for The Good Care Group. I first joined the company in 2019 as a Live-in Care Manager, which I did for two years before leaving to start up an hourly care service for a franchise provider in North London. I rejoined The Good Care Group in 2022 as the Hourly Care Manager.
As Hourly Care Manager, my role involves working alongside our client services team, assessing new clients, creating robust care plans and risk assessments of their needs and working alongside the scheduling team to find a suitable match of carer for each client to ensure that their care is set up to achieve the best outcomes. I may also need to work alongside our Occupational Therapist or Consultant Admiral Nurse when setting up more complex care placements. My role varies day to day, and a lot of what I do involves supporting my team of carers and my clients with whatever the day brings.
My career in health and social care started in 2010. Since then, I have worked in various roles including as a carer, care scheduler, care supervisor, care manager and registered care manager.
As part of my role, I need to complete regular calls to check in and stay up to date with my care team and clients. Every three months, my care team is called for supervision and clients have visits and monitoring calls to ensure that they are happy with the care being provided to them. Clients also have six-monthly or monthly reviews of their care. If there are incidents or accidents, I provide support to them to ensure the safety of everyone involved, ensuring to review risk assessments and care plans to prevent future occurrences. I also work with the training team and support carers with their career development. My role is to ensure that the care team feels supported and clients are happy with the care and support that they are receiving.
I hold a Level 5 in Health and Social Care and have supported individuals with a wide range of needs including dementia, palliative care, Parkinson’s, cancer, motor neurone disease, multiple sclerosis, learning disabilities, autism, mental health and neurological conditions.
Alongside my Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care Management, I also hold a Level 3 in Education and Training, BILD Assessors qualification and an Open University qualification in Autism Awareness. I am a first aid instructor, moving and handling instructor and medication trainer. I believe that training is a vital part of the care role and continual development ensures the individuals that we support get the quality care they need.
I have witnessed both obstacles and successes within the sector and seen first-hand what difference can be made whether big or small in someone's life. I believe that the journey I have taken from starting as a carer to becoming a manager has allowed me to understand what support needs to be provided not only to the individuals we support, but the amazing carers that are providing it. I understand the importance of ensuring the highest quality of care is delivered, and enjoy leading and encouraging my team to work towards the best possible outcomes. I am an experienced care manager and have managed both hourly and live-in care in a home care setting. I have been able to see the benefits of people receiving care in their own home and remaining at home.
I am very proud of the journey I have been on to get to where I am currently in my career. I feel proud of my development and that I have been able to witness everything I have along the way from a carer to a manager.
