St. Cecilia Care Home is a specialised residential care home caring for residents with residential dementia care needs. They are a locally owned, family business. A short distance from the centre of Shepton Mallet makes it ideal for excursions and shopping trips. Shepton Mallet is an old market town still operating a market every third Sunday of the month.
There are 17 single bedrooms, all being a comfortable size and tastefully decorated. Residents are encouraged to bring personal items from home such as pictures and furniture, to make the rooms feel more homely and special to them. All bedrooms can accommodate televisions and telephones and are fitted with a nurse call system. There is a very spacious, south-facing garden and two large lounges where visitors can catch-up and relax whatever the weather.
St. Cecilia provides the highest standard of care for residents with dementia needs. This means the care is individualised, incorporating the physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs of each resident. The residents are cared for respectfully in a warm and safe environment.
There are continued, excellent professional working relationships with members of the multidisciplinary team and The Home receives regular and valued input, from GPs, social workers, district nurses, etc. Care staff are on duty 24 hours a day. A choice of Doctors’ surgeries are available to residents and there is of course the option to remain with an existing Doctor. Health Care Assistants receive full and relevant training to enhance residents' care.

My Mum came to St Cecilia's after a fall at her house earlier this year followed by some weeks in Yeovil Hospital. St Cecilia's manager made Mum very welcome and has been very kind to Mum and her family ever since. The staff are also very kind and helpful. Mum has a beautiful bedroom which she feels very 'at home' in. She can join the other residents in the lounge when she wants to and has very tasty meals in the dining room. The atmosphere at St Cecilia's is very relaxed which is important for someone like Mum who can be over-anxious. The manager keeps us all well-informed, and the rooms are always clean and tidy. Today (5/5/24), there was a special open day with a barbecue and drinks in the beautiful garden: the homemade trifle was a highlight!
Thank you very much for your kind words and for taking the time to review St Cecilia Care Home. It is our pleasure to care for your mum. Glad you enjoyed the trifle!

My father who has Alzheimer's has been using this facility for 2 years now. He has weekly day respite and occasional overnight respite care. The manager and her team are wonderful with Dad. He always comes away happy. They tell me how his day has been and his activities. The team are so good with Dad. There are places closer to me but here Dad enjoys his once-weekly day care and his occasional overnight stays. Thank you to everyone at St Celia’s.
It really does mean so much to myself and the team for you to take the time to write a review on your father's daycare. I will share your comments with the team. Thank you.
My friend is hard work but the girls manage him well. He seems to be quite happy here.

My Mother was admitted to St Cecilia Care Home on 03/05/2022 with stage 4 dementia. From the first visit, we were made very welcome and shown around, the management and staff were very supportive in a difficult time. I was very pleased with the way things were done and the care she received. I had spent over ten years looking after my mum alone before I concluded I could not cope any more and needed help, they first gave me respite dates and finally admitted her permanently. I have been very happy with the care and friendliness shown to Mum and me, I can visit any time daily and enjoy a cup of tea or a meal if I wish, I wish all care homes could be as good as this, giving care and love to people at a very difficult time in their life journey.
Thank you for a very heartfelt review Michael which I shall pass on to our dedicated team. It was an absolute pleasure to have cared for Mum and support you on her journey. The kettle will always be on, see you very soon.
My stepmother has been in the care home for over a year and has settled in, just like she’s at home. The staff put her and other residents first, providing a caring and compassionate environment. I highly recommend the home.

My mother was only admitted to St Cecilia Care Home a few days ago, but our impression of it so far has been very good. The manager has gone out of her way to help us deal with horrendous NHS bureaucracy (Mum went from living at home into hospital, and from there to St Cecilia’s), and to make us all feel as comfortable as possible with this potentially stressful change in our lives. We chose St Cecilia’s because it’s small, friendly and informal, and the residents seemed happier and more engaged than in other places we looked at. The staff seem competent and kind, and it feels more like a commune than an institution. When we have visited Mum, we have been made to feel completely welcome and part of the St Cecilia’s community. We very much hope that Mum will settle in and enjoy being there.
Thank you for your comments. I’m so pleased to read your comments about the home manager, her staff and all aspects of the home and how welcome you feel when visiting.
This care home is one of the best' my mother-in-law has been here for seven years, and the staff are so caring. The manager is very professional and has such a wonderful attitude towards residents, staff, guests and relations. My wife and I travel from Norfolk, and the journey can take up to five...
We are so very lucky to have such a really, really good care home for my mother-in-law, which in turn allows my wife and myself to relax knowing my mother-in-law is in such good hands.
Richard, thank you for your lovely review! It's great to hear your kind words about Tracy and all of her staff at St Cecilia's. Many thanks.

My dad has been here since February after a failed first care home placement elsewhere where he was treated appallingly. Because of this, I found it difficult to build trust with another care home, but I feel it has been easily done with St Cecilia. My dad has lovely banter with the staff, is well looked after, and they manage any medical concerns proactively and thoroughly. It is a small home with a family feel and a small group of consistent members of staff. Any issues have been easily resolved with key workers/management and are easy to approach. I have never had issues calling and asking to speak to him. My dad is safe and well looked after, and I can visit to take him out for coffee and cake, which is the best I can ask for going forward, given the hand he has been dealt with dementia.
Thank you so much for your kind words. It’s lovely to hear that you have so much confidence in the management and care team. They take great pride in the care they offer to our residents, and I know your kind words mean a great deal to them.
