Somerset Council pays £834 a week for a residential place here. A family paying for itself is almost always quoted more than that, for the same room.
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 West Abbey 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.
The Care Quality Commission rated West Abbey Good when it last published an assessment, in March 2023.

Every line comes from the CQC register, not from the home. If something is wrong, tell us and we will check it against the register.
Distances are straight-line from the registered address — useful for working out who could visit easily, which matters more than most things on this page.
Published fees go stale within months. Tell us what care is needed and we will ask West Abbey directly, then send you the reply. We are paid nothing if you move in, so we have no reason to push you here or anywhere else.
Ask about feesWhether you pay all of it, some of it or none of it turns on savings, income and whether a property would be left empty. Our calculator applies the 2026/27 means test and tells you the weekly figure. See also how council funding works and what happens when the money runs out.
