Mum found it difficult to settle initially, but the staff worked patiently with her and she eventually settled and had some wonderfully fulfilling times with lots of fun and involving things on...
Placing a loved one into care is a difficult decision, but the care home - Taunton - helped the process along by showing such love, care and understanding.
It was an absolute pleasure and privilege supporting both Mum and you as her loving family. We miss her but are so pleased that you are going to continue to stay connected with the home.

I moved my mother into the care home from another care home and she has settled in better than I expected or could have hoped for. Her ensuite room is always bright, clean and well cared for and the staff have made a great effort to engage with her and encourage her to join in with the many activities available. The food seems to be varied with plenty of choice and the newly installed residents' bar is a nice addition to the facilities. Staff are always friendly and approachable and there is a sense that someone is always around. Call bells are answered promptly and interactions I have heard and observed have been without fail caring and courteous. Communication with relatives is excellent, including a monthly relatives' meeting which I have found very supportive and helpful. I recommend the care home without reservation.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We feel very privileged to be entrusted with the care of your mother and are so glad that the relatives meeting is of help and support to you.

My dad has been a resident at the care home since June 2023. Over the past three months, we have been delighted with the care he is receiving. The care team treat him with empathy, kindness and respect. The atmosphere in the home is bright and cheerful. Dad has settled very well, his appetite has improved, he is calmer and now starting to communicate and socialise more, with the encouragement of the staff. The family are kept well informed of Dad’s situation and any issues that might arise. After a very difficult two years for the family, we are now very reassured that Dad is in a place which fully supports his needs. Most of all, the care home truly feels as if you are “at home”.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. It is a great pleasure and privilege to care for Dad. We're so glad that he is settling in and that he and his family feel at home.

It is now two years since my mother moved into the care home in Taunton, and throughout that time she has received wonderful care in every respect (including during the very challenging lockdown periods). The home is extremely well run and the facilities are very good and spotlessly clean. There is an excellent range of activities and the food is also excellent (my mother constantly comments about how good it is). The staff take a genuine interest in her as an individual. My mother's health and general well-being have definitely improved as a result of living here (she was previously living in a flat in sheltered accommodation), and it is a great relief to me to feel quite certain that she is in a safe and caring environment. Relatives also receive very clear and regular communication, including involvement in relevant decisions, and the staff and management are highly approachable. I would not hesitate to recommend this home to others, without any reservations.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are so reassured that you have confidence in the care your mother receives and the relief you feel. It is a pleasure and privilege to care for her.
My mother has lived in the care home for over ten years, she arrived at the age of 92! We chose the care home because it was clean, light and had a kind and friendly feel. We were made very welcome on our first visit and ended up staying for coffee and attending a communion service that just...
My mother moved across to the Quantock Unit (dementia care) when her memory was failing. She likes to wander and is always out and about but the gardens are safe, beautiful and available to all. I spend several hours each day with Mum and see all that happens and would certainly recommend it.
Thank you so much for your lovely review and illustration of Mum's journey at the care home. Mum's energy never ceases to amaze us all and we are deeply privileged to continue to care for her. Thank you so much for all your support and feedback to the home too, we really appreciate it.
Couldn’t recommend the home and the staff highly enough. There is such a wonderful atmosphere in the home and I am so pleased they have been awarded an Outstanding CQC rating.
