Capegold Care Ltd is a care company in Taunton and Bridgwater, covering the South West. Our team has experience in care, nursing and how care homes are run. We work in two ways: we supply healthcare staff to care services, and we advise people making decisions about care homes.
Capegold Care Staffing supplies properly vetted, properly paid healthcare professionals to services that cannot afford an empty shift. Capegold Care Advisory gives care home buyers, investors and owners an independent clinical and operational view of a home.
Registered nurses, senior care staff, healthcare assistants and chefs for nursing homes, care homes and other care services across the South West. Every worker is vetted, briefed and photo-identified before the shift.

Capegold Care is named after the Cape Gold, an everlasting flower from the mountains of the southern Cape, known to botanists as Helichrysum splendidum. It is a hardy evergreen shrub with silvery leaves and dense heads of golden flowers, and it thrives in full sun and in poor, dry ground where little else will grow. Its papery blooms keep their colour long after other flowers have faded, which is why they are called everlasting.
We try to be the same. We turn up when things are hard, the early sickness call, the night shift nobody has covered, the weekend a rota falls apart. Our standards protect the people you look after even when the pressure is on, and we give a home dependable staff, cover you can plan around, and a relationship you can rely on rather than a quick fix that fades.
Tough, dependable and still there when things get difficult. That is the Cape Gold, and that is how we care.
Care home decisions need informed clinical judgement and practical operational understanding. The Capegold Care Advisory team has experience in care, nursing and how care homes are run, including clinical leadership across multiple nursing homes.
Our team knows how care homes are run, from the care and nursing to the finances, staffing and marketing, and that experience is backed by Chartered Manager status.
The advisory service is separate from our staffing work.
We find, check, train and supply registered nurses, senior care staff, healthcare assistants and chefs to services that cannot afford an empty shift: nursing and residential homes, hospitals, community and supported living services, and learning disability, mental health, complex and live-in care providers. The standards your inspectors hold you to are the standards we hire to, and we pay our staff fairly so the people we send turn up.
For temporary staff we act as an employment business, and for permanent posts as an employment agency. Either way we supply the people and your organisation directs and manages the care.
Go to Capegold Care StaffingWho joins our books, what competence looks like and when a concern is escalated are set by people with experience in care and nursing who know how care homes run, not by a sales target. Competencies are observed, not self-declared.
Rooted in the South West, with healthcare staff supplied across the region from our base in Bridgwater, Somerset.
Paid weekly and on time, told the rate before accepting a shift, briefed before arriving and given a real number to call. Training is free and competencies are signed off properly.
One named contact, a 24-hour on-call commitment written into our terms, compliance records for your file, weekly invoicing and clear rates. Staff who arrive when they said they would, weekends included.
From your first call to the final handover you deal with the same person, who knows your service and answers out of hours. Care is a relationship, and so is staffing it.
Residents, patients, workers and managers are people before they are line items. Every decision starts there.
No unvetted worker, ever, however urgent the shift. If we cannot fill it safely, we say so.
We advertise only what we can evidence: coverage, credentials, capability and compliance.
On-call means a decision, not a voicemail with an apology on it.
Our workers are paid fairly, weekly and on time, with holiday pay on top. Cheap staffing is paid for by the worker and by the resident, and we do not run that model.
Care providers are inspected. That means anyone supplying into a care provider needs to be able to produce evidence, not reassurance. We run to a documented set of policies and a document register, and we can supply the following on request:

If you are carrying out due diligence on us as a supplier and need something that is not listed here, ask. We would rather send the document than have you guess.
Whether you need staff, you are looking for shifts or you are making a decision about a care home, the next step is a conversation.
