Frethey House

from Nicky C (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 96 year old dad has been in Frethey House for nearly a year now. When he first went in, he had lost the will to live, eat and laugh. After only a couple of weeks there was a huge improvement in his life attitude. He is now full of life and fun and laughs like he used to. This is all thanks to the
wonderful staff, there is always something for him to do, the connection and communication with everyone is fantastic and he loves the food.
Reply from Rowen Campbell, on behalf of the team at Frethey HouseWe are delighted with the difference we see in your dad, and it's wonderful to see him enjoying life again. Thanks very much for taking the time to write us a review, and if there is ever anything more we can do to help, please just let us know.

Frethey House

from Andy R (Son of Resident) published on 30 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was placed at Frethey House for just two weeks, unfortunately it was for Palliative care and my mother passed away peacefully and with dignity, in no pain or distress thanks to the wonderful care team.
Everyone is friendly, caring and compasionate and nothing is too much trouble. I would
go as far to say that I feel they took as much care of myself, my partner and some of my mothers close friends as they did for my mother the resident.
Towards the end of my mothers stay the nursing team ensured that all of the required medications were administered to ensure a smooth, peaceful and pain free journey. I cannot thank the entire team enough for the experience we had at Frethey House.
It is rated 'Good' for a reason, and that more than shines through from the very first moment you arrive until the time comes to depart.
If you require a respite, short or long term nursing home placement in the Taunton Deane area I highly recommend Frethey House.
Reply from Rowen Campbell, on behalf of the team at Frethey HouseIt was a huge honour to be able to support your mother at that point in her life and we are all so sorry for your loss. We really appreciate your feedback and your recommendation - it means a lot to the team - and if there is ever anything more we can do to support you or your family, please don't hesitate to ask.

Very happy with the care my mother receives at Frethey House. Staff are exceptionally caring and clearly have spent time getting to know mum's likes and dislikes. They clearly really do care. The manager is kind, efficient and can often be seen giving the extra smile. Thank you for all you do.

Dad has been a resident for only 6 weeks to start with he didn't join in any activities but now he really looks forward to them, especially singing and anything to do with history. Yesterday the pancake tossing went down really well he was looking forward to that. He has commented how friendly the
staff are (as also like to say that they are all very friendly) and also enjoys the company of the other residents. My sister, brother and I would like to state how happy we are to leave him here and don't worry about him at all. We visit several times a week and he has got his spark back. Thank you so much.
Reply from Home Manager, Home Manager at Frethey HouseThank you for taking the time to leave us such a fantastic review! We're so happy to hear that your dad is receiving such great care at Frethey House and has his spark back. It's a privilege to support him.

In the final days of my mother-in-law's life, the staff at Frethey House were tremendous. Everyone was empathetic, considerate and kind. Their care for my mother-in-law was outstanding. From the cleaning team, admin, support staff and nurses to the manager - they did their part to make a tough time
manageable.
Thank you all for your unwavering support.

Initially placed for respite care, Dad then required end-of-life care. The home were extremely accommodating and he was able to get as comfortable as possible for his final days. All the staff were extremely caring and professional and the end of life was handled with the utmost sensitivity.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the day I went to view Frethey House as a possible place for my dad, to receive end-of-life care, I cannot fault anything. The staff are all wonderful and can't do enough to look after dad and support us as a family, especially my mum, who has dementia. In fact, we have been so impressed mum is
going there for 2 weeks respite while we go away and she is really looking forward to her holiday. All the staff always greet us warmly with a smile and I can see and hear them interacting with other residents in a compassionate, and kind manner. I was so worried about what to expect in regards to the care dad might receive, as his time in hospital before going to Frethey was awful, and I had heard mixed reviews about care homes. But I feel really relieved and reassured, to know that dad is in a safe place where all his needs are being met to a high standard.
Reply from Home Manager, Home Manager at Frethey HouseThank you for your kind words, we're thoroughly enjoying mum being here and it is great to see your mum and dad enjoying the various activities together and enjoying time together. It is both a privilege and pleasure to support mum and dad.

My partner and I have been together for 20 years so it was a big decision to get him into a care home. I looked at 6 homes. When I made an appointment to visit Frethey, I was greeted by the manager with a smile on her face. I met with staff and maintenance who greeted us like friends. I was made to
feel welcome and this is how I feel every time I come to the home. The care staff and management are all excellent. I have made the right choice. The staff all know my name.

All the staff are friendly and helpful to the visitors and are all very caring towards the residents. My mum seems happy at Frethey and always joins in with the activities. Her health has definitely improved since she has been at Frethey, and this can only be because of the care that she gets there.
I am not able to see Mum very often, but I am happy knowing that she has the care that she gets and that she is safe and happy.

My husband has only been in Frethey House for a short time, but his care has been excellent, and he is settled in well and seems very relaxed and happy!
He was moved from another care provider as he was very unhappy there and seems to have settled in very well.
Many thanks to all concerned from both
of us!

My mum became a resident at Frethey House in April 2022, at 95 years old, having never wanted to go into a home. She has settled incredibly well under the circumstances and always comments how lovely the staff are towards her. Unfortunately, due to having had shingles prior to moving into the home,
she isn't up to leaving her room, a thing I am keen to encourage in time. Her sight, and hearing have also taken their toll, but her mind is still very much with us.
The staff are always pleasant when we visit and we see them more as friends. They try their very best to cater for her needs and help us with any questions. I am impressed that they keep me informed of any changes that I need to be made aware of, and feel mum is in capable hands.
As we are not local we appreciate any updates and being able to visit now without an appointment. A lovely house and grounds, with friendly approachable staff - couldn't ask for more!
Reply from Home Manager at Frethey HouseThank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely, detailed review of our home and staff. We are pleased your mum is settled here and you receive the updates you would expect. We looking forward to welcoming you again on your next visit and will pass your wonderful feedback on to the whole team. Thank you again for your review.

This home was the only one we could find where they could be together, as one needs nursing care and the other just care, they have rooms opposite each other.
One has been in two previous homes before moving here to be together and states that this is the best by a long way.
I find the staff outstanding
as they keep me up to date about their health, any issues, and are always willing to help. Including cancelling their credit card when they were tricked into revealing their details.
Everything I have asked for has been no problem.
They even baked a cake and put up decorations for their 72nd wedding anniversary. This really made their day and were both very happy.
I feel very relaxed knowing they are being looked after and not having to worry.
My father went in for a week to see if he liked it and did not want to leave, think this sums everything up.
Reply from Home Manager, Home Manager at Frethey HouseThank you for giving us such a lovely review, we are pleased your parents are able to stay together and we are delighted that your father enjoyed his week with us so much that he wanted to stay. It is a pleasure to celebrate our residents milestones with them, such as their 72nd wedding anniversary, thank you for allowing us to be involved. We are glad we are meeting your expectations and will pass your lovely words onto the team, who will be pleased to hear such positive feedback. Thank you again for taking the time to leave a review.

Mum has been a resident of Frethey House since July 2019 relocating from Glasgow to be closer to family. From her warm welcome on day one has regarded the staff at Frethey part of her extended family and has been consistently positive about her move there which is a testament in itself.
We have always
found the staff to be professional, responsive, approachable and welcoming despite changes in management and staff which can be an unsettling time for everyone. They always take time to communicate concerns they may have regarding any changes in Mums health and equally will investigate and respond to any concerns regarding Mum’s health that we have had as a family.
Inability to visit at various points throughout the pandemic was a frustrating time for us but I fully believe the staff placed the resident's well-being at the forefront of decisions made which is as it should be.
Mum is well cared for happy, content and positive at her home in Frethey House which is all we can ask.

Even though my mum was only at Frethey House for three months, she received more kind care than she received in eighteen months at another care home. Sadly, Covid did us no favours. The staff and manager at Frethey House are wonderful! Sadly, mum rarely took part in any activities - her own choice.
