Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Dad always enjoys his time at Greenhill House. I know some of the team there, they say he does as well. We are worried that sometimes he may be on his own in his room and not join in with the activities. So a sheet of things he's done would be helpful and to ask him about once he's home again. The management
and staff are friendly and happy to help.

Our father has received fantastic care since moving into Greenhill. The staff are focused on the residents well being rather than red tape or finances. Dad was given a very warm welcome and the team have gone above and beyond to settle him in. Their kindness and dedication has truly made a difference.
A big thank you to the manager and the team.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When we visited Greenhill House, prior to my mum going in for respite care for a week, I was impressed by the friendly staff, pleasant surrounding and relaxed atmosphere. I had researched many homes and it was important to find the right one, as this was the first time she had gone into a home as a
resident. The food is excellent, plentiful and varied, with a snack bar available, so the residents can help themselves if they get hungry throughout the day. The activities are also varied, lead by helpful and enthusiastic team leaders. As a retired registered nurse, I have working in many homes + would rate this as one of the best + wouldn't hesitate to use Greenhill House again or recommend to others.

My mum is a resident in Greenhill Cheddar since October 2023. She has been lucky to find a home and caring staff who have become her world and she regards as friends. It is reassuring for us to know that she is happy at Greenhill and they go out of their way to support and find things to interest mum
such as gardening club and getting her to help out with napkin folding at meal times.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident at Greenhill House for 9 years now, during which time her dementia has gradually progressed to the advanced stage at which it is now. The fact that she has lived there so long is a result of the exceptional high standard of care that she has received over the years. Although
Mum is bedridden and unable to communicate, she is always clean, has no bed sores and is treated with dignity and respect. As her needs have changed, Greenhill House have adapted their care to suit her. The management and staff are friendly and approachable, nothing is too much trouble. Excellent.

My Mum moved into Greenhill in February and has settled really well. Without exception the staff are wonderful. They are all very caring and kind and professional. Mum's room is very nice and the food is excellent. We are allowed to visit freely whenever we choose to and on several occasions one of
us have arrived when interesting activities are taking place for the residents.My Dad has eaten Sunday lunch at Greenhill with my Mum and thoroughly enjoyed it. We are so glad we chose Greenhill for her care.

Outstanding Care & Exceptional Staff!
I can't say enough good things about Greenhill House. From our first visit, we knew it was the right place for Dad. The staff are truly fantastic-kind, compassionate, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure he feels comfortable and well cared for.
The
administration process was seamless, making what could have been a stressful transition incredibly smooth. The communication from the team is excellent-they keep us informed at all times, whether it's about Dad's well-being, activities, or any updates. It gives us real peace of mind knowing he is in such good hands.
Most importantly, Dad is so happy here! He enjoys the wonderful atmosphere, the engaging activities, and the warm company of both staff and residents. It's a joy to see him thriving in a place that truly feels like home.
We are beyond grateful to Greenhill House and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and professional environment for their loved ones.

All the staff are always cheerful and helpful.
They tell me how mum has been when I am entering the home so I am forewarned, which I appreciate.
I am also made very welcome whenever I visit.
As mum has difficulties swallowing tablets they contacted the doctor to arrange easier tablets and liquids.
Lastly words from my mum " they are very kind".

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
In choosing a care home for my 85 year old sister, we viewed five local establishments. Greenhill House was prominent. My sister moved into Greenhill late Nov. 2024. Whilst we may have had some initial scepticism, this was short lived. We have found every member of management and staff to be professional,
attentive - obliging. The premises are clean to a high standard and the food of good quality. My sister has settled in well and enjoys being there. You are to be congratulated in running an excellent home.

I very much appreciate the team approach at Greenhill. The carers, admin, laundry and kitchen staff all show great concern and interest in both me and my husband. The young lady employed to manage activities is always positive and encouraging. I visit Greenhill most days and find most of the staff showing
a high standard of respect to the residents. However I am most concerned at the continual rising costs and worry that I will no longer be able to afford the care of my husband.

My mum was resident in Greenhill House for nearly four years during which time she was really well cared for by the manager and her team. She had a lovely clean, well decorated room and went down in to the communal lounge everyday for her meals, company and to participate in the activities which were
put on every day, keeping her stimulated and entertained. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, not only to the residents but also to the family and other visitors. They would always make time to stop for a chat and take an interest.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.758)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.758) out of 10 for Greenhill House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.758 for Greenhill House is calculated as follows: ( (178 Excellents x 5) + (44 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 227 Ratings = 4.758
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Greenhill House is based on 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 55 registered maximum number of service users is 11, which has been reached with 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Registered Manager

I have worked for Somerset Care for 21 years, and have been based at Greenhill House since September 2018. As soon as I walked into Greenhill I knew I wanted to be there – it’s a lovely home with a really nice atmosphere in a brilliant location.


I love the everyday contact with residents that you get in a residential care setting. I can take a break from the office and spend time with our residents, and my door is always open to them if they fancy a chat.


The thing I love most about my job can also be the hardest part at times – the variety. No two days are ever the same! I can come into work with plans for the day which change as soon as I walk in the door, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I have an extremely knowledgeable and caring team at Greenhill, and we are proud to have created a warm, welcoming and relaxed atmosphere for our residents and their visitors.
