Care Homes Owned by Crystal Care Collection in Somerset

After 3 weeks in hospital recovering from a fractured femur Mum decided she would like to go for respite care. Potter House was the second care home that we viewed and as soon as we stepped inside we knew it would be the right place for mum. All the staff are very kind & helpful.

Mum has only been with you for a short while but I feel she has settled in really well. She had been quite isolated at home. Now she joins in a lot of the activities and making new friends. She says its like living in a five star hotel. The staff a wonderful and even with there busy schedule still find time to chat.

And above all it feels like home

Very welcoming staff, very clean.

It's been a bumpy ride with management changes and lack of a social coordinator. But these issues have recently been addressed and things have improved.

My mother has been very well looked after at Potter House since entering a few months ago. She feels safe and she is safe with no more falls since she arrived. The care home is clean and very modern with good facilities. The carers are friendly and chatty and my mother's social life has probably got even better with lots of visitors as well!

5 stars everytime.

Potter House is a wonderful home .

From the day my Aunt was assessed by staff from Gillingham Grange I felt confident about the high standard of communication, care & kindness. She has been a resident there for the past month, she is very settled & the family are reassured that she is receiving the best & most appropriate care. The staff are also very supportive of family visiting, offering information, meals & snacks during visits. The building is spacious & light with easy access to the outside spaces. My Aunt's room has plenty of storage space & feels homely & individual. The most important thing is the kindness & efficiency of the staff members.

The care team were absolutely superb and extremely professional and compassionate both for my husband and myself. It is a beautiful place but the staff there make it special.

The staff matter most-and they have been exceptional. It is not just a few individuals; the whole team is clearly committed to providing the highest standard of care and companionship. They are always a pleasure to deal with and have shown great kindness to my mother during this difficult time and I cannot thank them enough.

There don't seem to many activities, however it was explained that this would ramp-up as more residents joined.

I cannot recommend this care home highly enough. From the moment you walk through the doors, there's a genuine sense of warmth, dignity, and professionalism that sets it apart. The staff are not only highly skilled but also incredibly compassionate-they treat residents with respect and kindness, taking the time to understand each individual's needs and preferences.

The facilities are clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed, creating a safe and welcoming environment. Meals are nutritious and well-prepared, with attention given to dietary requirements and personal tastes. There's also a strong sense of community, with regular activities and social events that keep residents engaged and uplifted.

Communication with families is excellent, offering reassurance and transparency at all times. It's clear that the team truly cares about the wellbeing and happiness of every resident.

My mother is now resident here, having moved from their sister home in Yeovil following my fathers passing.. What can I say. It is superb, like a hotel. The quality of care is superb. Amanda the manager is excellent and fully committed to running a quality , fully supported home for your loved ones. They have brilliant staff ,who interact with my mother excellently , as she is not always the easiest (( being an ex-midwife). She is very happy and settled, what more can I ask for? I have no negatives they have been brilliant with mum and helped her through a difficult time , she and my father were together for 70 years.

I think it is a very good home with very friendly and helpful staff. The manager and front of house lady are both very helpful. The home is well furnished and decorated. The food is also good with a good choice. I have had a meal there and really enjoyed it. I feel it is quite expensive but I suppose you get what you pay for and you are getting a lot.

This lovely home has been designed for the safety and comfort of the residents - outside pathways and carpets easy to walk and push frames on. Dining chairs chairs and sofas comfortable and easy to get out of. Seating in lots of places. The rooms have comfortable beds, plenty of storage and big practicle washrooms. Everywhere is designed for easy cleaning. Very important there is more staff to each residents than normal ensuring the residents needs are met quicker and manageable and the staff are happy and not exhausted! Amanda the manager and Tracey front house manager are very helpful, kind and lead a team caring for their staff with enthusiasm and co-operation. All the staff are polite, kind, patient and provide care and enjoyment with daily tasks and activities. The food is a high standard, enjoyable, tasty and good choice. The gardens are attractive and well cared for and the patio seating great for the summer as residents can easily approach from the doors is their rooms and bring pleasure looking at through their windows. Residents can have a phone is their rooms, hairdresser, chiropodist, newspapers all in the price.

Hayley was very professional and keeps the building and reception. Very good communication and friendly.

Mum has had wonderful support, during her time she has improved greatly. She will miss the residents and staff.
