Review from Martin R (Son of Resident) published on 23 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The staff are very helpful and polite, the home is very clean and gives a bright and cheerful look to the rooms, the dining areas are neatly laid out and again very clean. The staff are always helpful and polite, and will go out of there way to make sure any issues are dealt with professionally. Although haven't tried the meals personalty they always look very tasty and delicious. Before putting my mother in here I took the time to have a look at other homes in the area, and Frith house was by far the best option, its not cheap in fact it is quiet expensive but then sometimes the cost is not always the deciding factor, and my mother seems very happy and comfortable here, and that is the deciding factor.

Overall Experience

Mums dementia had deteriorated and we needed to find a care home locally, that was secure, safe and provided excellent care. After looking at several homes, we were fortunate to find Frith House, with an outstanding CQC report and meeting the extremely high standards of care and environment that we wanted for Mum. She has settled so well and the staff are amazing, caring and attentive. She has integrated well and is happy. She takes part in activities and is enjoying the home cooked meals and is thriving. The resident is at the centre of the care planning, and everything possible is done to ensure mums needs are met. She is treated with dignity and respect and the care standards are extremely high. Staff are also tuned in to the needs of the family and did everything they could to make the transition into residential care as easy as possible for the family and mum. We were consulted about all aspects mums care planning, and communication with the family if issues arise is excellent.

Thank you so much for providing such glowing feedback for Frith House. We are delighted that your mum is thriving in our care, and are so pleased to hear that her family also now have peace of mind that she is safe and looked after. We will share your kind words with the team. With our best wishes Somerset Care

Overall Experience
Sadly our experiences of Frith House were far from 'outstanding', despite the CQC report which was last carried out in July 2021. On the surface this home looks great, but...
Our father was resident here until recently, self-funding. On several occasions we raised concerns about his hygiene and health, but felt they were 'brushed aside' making us feel like we were being neurotic. We eventually involved CQC.
The last straw was when we observed Dad's medication left on a tray and was about to be taken away again (without being administered to him). We wonder, had we not seen this, how many other incidents were missed?

In the 2 weeks that Dad has been in his new home, they've identified his aggression/challenging behaviour as sundowning, involved mental health, and changed his medication which seems to have really helped. This approach was never discussed with us by Frith House, who took the money each month, but eventually said they were unable to meet his needs.

Reply from Somerset Care, Somerset Care at Frith House

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback for Frith House. We are sorry to hear that your experience fell short of your expectations. Throughout your father's stay with us, we worked in conjunction with the relevant health professionals to address any concerns raised, and are pleased...

Overall Experience

My mum lived alone with dementia and could no longer be safe at home. She was really nervous about coming into the care home but now says she wished she had not been so stubborn and come in earlier. She absolutely loves her room and the staff making a fuss of her. She is eating better as meals are prepared for her. At home, all she did was sit in a chair and sleep. Since being at Frith House she has enjoyed the singers that have been in, played Skittles, and bingo, made cakes, done arts and crafts and played with Nerf Guns. She is so much happier.

Mum had wonderful care throughout her time at Frith House. Her dementia needs were met at all times and we felt very confident about her care. Her room was light and bright and always clean.
During Mum's final days, care was given with great dignity and the support to us was extremely caring and kind.

We would be happy to recommend Frith House, a lovely place, well-run and with a brilliant team of hardworking staff.

Review from J N (Wife of Resident) published on 20 December 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My husband was admitted to Frith House in the middle of the Covid lockdown - February 21. He had been assessed at home by the social worker.
Our request - residential home - we were advised we would not be able to cope with him. She advised a residential home in Burnham on Sea would suit him better. We had to leave him at the door and hope for the best!
Once Covid was over, we were always able to visit and were impressed with our welcome and the overall standard of all-around care.

He had so much loving care and passed away on September 3rd 2023.

Review from Janet E (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 August 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I want to thank everyone at Frith House for taking care of my mother when she came in for 2 weeks respite. She tells me that you were truly wonderful, and the food was lovely! And from what she has told me...I can't disagree. I am convinced that she would have ended up in hospital if she hadn't come to you, following a fall. But apart from the direct care she received, I want to thank you for getting the medication she needed. I had tried for 2 months to get the GP to talk to me. You resolved the problem within a few days. Including the necessary ongoing repeat medication.

Now she is back home doing all her normal things including gardening, which she loves. So truly a heartfelt thank you from both of us.

Review from Steve G (Son of Resident) published on 19 July 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mother moved into Frith House 9 months ago after her previous care home closed down. I wish she had been in here from the start, as Frith House is far superior in terms of the care that my mother gets and the facilities are superb. Every member of the staff is so caring and attentive to the residents and treat them as though they were one of their own family. Mom has come on in leaps and bounds since moving here and is much happier and healthier. I cannot praise this home highly enough and would recommend to anyone looking for a first class care home to look no further than Frith House. The facilities are great, staff encourage the residents to get involved in activities throughout the day and are genuinely there for the benefit of the residents. First class Frith House, keep up the good work. From a very grateful son of one of your residents.

My mother has recently moved to Frith House and found the initial adjustment hard. However, she has been treated with nothing but kind consideration and the care she is receiving is excellent. We very much appreciate being able to visit at any time which allows us to pop in often around all other commitments, the staff are to be commended for their professionalism and empathy.

Firth House, from the beginning, have been extremely understanding and caring. All the staff are lovely, and you can tell they enjoy working at Frith. As a visitor, we feel welcomed, and the care home has a happy, homely feel. My dad has settled well and says he's happy and cared for here.

My husband enjoyed his stay. He liked the cat, but a shame the bird feeders were not filled, as he would have enjoyed watching them from window. The staff were friendly. He liked the food.

The carers are always very helpful and take very good care of mother. The only criticism we have is the phone is sometimes not answered and when it is there is a problem transferring the call to the wing where mum's room is. My sister and I agree on all points.

Very pleased with how well dad was looked after. He seemed very happy when visited by relatives and when I collected him he was clean, tidy and shaven. The home was very clean and the staff we met were all very friendly, helpful and lovely. I would highly recommend this wonderful care home to anyone needing care for a relative.

the car and attention my mother received from her arrival at Frith House on February 1st 2022, was superb. Mum always told us that 'the staff are all lovely'. Every visit we were looked after with real care and consideration. On the night mum passed away (September 1st 2022) the compassion we were shown by the lovely team was wonderful.

Overall Experience

Luckily mum was happy to move into care but the family felt even more reassured by Frith House. The attentive staff and her room which opened up onto a small garden. Mum started to make friends and ate better than she had done for a long time. We were pleasantly surprised that she joined in with the many activities arranged and was very good at quizzes. Mum moved in during Covid but Frith House was a safe haven where hygiene and safety for the resident were paramount. Would recommend Frith House for loved ones.

Review from Caroline C (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 August 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Frith House provides a top quality service for its residents. Mum went to Frith House in early 2021 under difficult circumstances, with the pandemic and mum had recently been diagnosed with complex dementia. The move was quite traumatic for mum, being they used to be a very independent person and had to give up her cat whom she adored and missed terribly even though she knew he was safe with me. On arrival at Frith House, mum refused to engage with anyone or anything but with the dedication and gentle persuasion from the care staff mum went from someone who wouldn’t mix to enjoying quizzes, sitting out in a prime position to see what was going on and chatting to people and making some good friends. Her quality of life improved vastly and this is down to the hard work and attention to detail from the staff. As a relative, I found the staff to be kind, and respectful and would listen to enable them to understand mum better. I couldn’t ask for a better service and mum did truly feel at home.

Review from Cathy J (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 July 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My mum was in Frith house, only for about 18 months, but in that time the girls that cared for her on a daily basis showed her the most amazing friendship and kindness.
I live in Australia, so it was crucial to me that in particular staff but also others showed mum the compassion and patience she deserved, but also allowed her to share their workplace as she found their company more stimulating and fun.

She never stopped telling me about these amazing girls and she knew they had her back when I couldn’t be there, especially over the difficult past 2 years. They have become our friends.
