Community hospitals
Our 13 community hospitals provide specialist services across Somerset for patients, offering a broad range of outpatient clinics as well as some inpatient care.
Two of our inpatient wards at Williton and South Petherton community hospitals provide a specialist countywide stroke rehabilitation service where you may go following a stroke or a brain injury. Our inpatient wards at Bridgwater and West Mendip community hospitals also offer a countywide service for short term rehabilitation as part of our Home First service.

Alternatives to community inpatient services
We also deliver a range of alternative services to support patients in their own homes so you can leave hospital earlier or avoid going in the first place. Our Rapid Response Service provides care in the community for frail elderly people, has supported more than 1,000 people to stay in their own homes in its first year. Home First which supports patients to leave hospital either by providing care at home, in a residential or nursing home or in a community hospital bed, has helped 5,000 people to get home from hospital faster.
