What this home chargesAsk themnot published anywhere
Two numbers, one fee. Somerset publishes its nursing rate as £862 because the NHS pays the nursing element straight to the home on top. Add NHS-funded nursing care of £268 a week and the home actually receives about £1,130. If someone quotes you a council nursing rate, ask which of the two they mean — how NHS funding works.

Source: Somerset Council, Adult Social Care Fees 2026/27. Nursing rates are stated to exclude NHS-funded nursing care. The higher nursing figure is OPMH nursing, for older people with mental health needs, effective 2026/27; we last checked it on 11 August 2026. We do not print an estimate of what Holywell Nursing Home charges a self-funding family, because no such figure has been published and we will not invent one. The council rate is the firm number to negotiate against.

How the inspectors rated it

Good

The Care Quality Commission rated Holywell Nursing Home Good when it last published an assessment, in March 2026.

Inspected within the last two yearsThe national middle is 4.2 years. How we measure this.

This one is recent — 0.3 years old, so it is a fair picture of the home as it is now. Still worth asking whether the manager has changed since.
