happy connections with the team. He has enjoyed the social events and outings, and loved attending the Memorial Day service most recently. He is also engaging in the activities at the Orchards and getting a lot from these. The Orchards staff are always welcoming and friendly, and engage well with questions by family members. They all do their best to help and ensure things run smoothly for my brother. My brother also really enjoys the food at The Orchards and very much likes the view his bedroom window over the playing fields. He loves watching the weekend sport! In all, his experience since being there has been entirely positive.

of vascular dementia,
We all really appreciate the care dad received.

that my husband had received the very best care and attention they could give. The staff were there for us at the end and we will always be grateful for their sympathy, comfort and support. He could not have been in a better place.

for their residents. Set in a quiet spot in Crewkerne and surrounded by a naturally beautiful area - this setting ticked the right boxes for being able to provide everything our loved ones deserve.

Many are local which he can relate to and makes him feel more at home.
With patient encouragement, he can now walk again using a frame, which hadn't been the case for many months in hospital and a temporary care home. This has boosted his self esteem and trust in his carers immeasurably.
The room is clean, cosy with a pleasant outlook and staff are always at hand. The food is extremely good with varied choices each day. There is a wide selection of activities which he enjoys but also has quiet times to relax when he wishes.
I can't praise enough the outstanding effort and warmth which runs throughout the home. I am so thankful my husband has settled here. It is truly a very special place and has helped me to come to terms with the massive adjustment of separation after many happy years of companionship. Our thanks to you all!

Any issues we have raised about her health or care have been taken seriously and dealt with. Everyone seems to work as a team and staff, residents and family all feel part of the community.

this genuine 'oasis' of care and consideration undertake their daily duties.
Daily life at The Orchards is not without its issues and each one is met with a professional attitude and solutions expedited in accordance with current health directives. I can only hope that when my time comes, that such an establishment is still obtainable.
The staff greet my mother and me by name and those that perhaps do not know my name are equally in respect of both Mum's needs and my own. Always ready to share a laugh whenever appropriate to lighten the mood and also to equally deal with serious matters as they arise.
The staff (admin, nursing and homemakers) make my mother and I feel valued.

to him, and being sweet enough to take him to a rugby match to watch and a trip around town to buy a tasty treat.

To the end they were there not only for dad but for us too, holding our hands until the end. We are forever grateful.

dad has been hard work, and everyone was so tolerant and patient while he took some time to settle in. I am constantly grateful. It feels like home.
