Greenhill House came highly recommended to me by a friend whose parent had previously been a resident, and I'm so glad I put my trust in this lovely care home. Previously struggling to live independently with dementia, my Dad spent 20 months here and I was privileged to be able to visit him several times a week. Staff were always friendly, helpful and supportive to both Dad and myself and there was a great blend of care, empathy and fun amongst the team's interactions with residents. Reviews to feed back on care were regularly held and acted upon, staff were always vigilant to residents' needs and emotions, and the home is well-organised and managed. Facilities and accommodation are clean, modern and spacious, with the layout of the shared areas and garden enabling independent access for residents who are mobile. Above all else, it was a huge relief to me to know that Dad was in a place that was safe with staff that were, without exception, caring, kind, and professional.

I have been very happy here and am comfortably accommodated and well looked after by a caring and pleasant staff. The food is varied and well cooked with choices of courses for each meal. One would have to be a very fussy eater not to enjoy it.
I am not conscious of changes I would make bearing in mind that it is a care home and not a hotel.

Dad is well into his 90's now and slowing down. He can be a cantankerous old bloke when he chooses but the team help him through his bad days and celebrate his good ones.
I'd highly recommend Greenhills as a venue that delivers the highest quality of professional care and support.

Greenhill House
We are so glad that we chose Greenhill House for the care of our parents and parent in laws. We had cared for them for many years in their own homes but sadly this was becoming unmanageable due to their dementia and frailty. Greenhill personal care is so kind, friendly and dignified and our loved...
Greenhill also support us as the transition into residential care is difficult for all involved.
Highly recommend.

I was grateful that Greenhill House was able to take in my Mum at short notice for respite care so that I could take a well needed holiday. Mum spoke highly of the care that she'd received during her 2 week stay. She's not one to sit in the common room /meals area with other residents for any length of time but it was there if she needed the company of others. I felt at ease leaving my Mum there after meeting some of the team that run the facility.
Dear Andrew, thank you for kind words about the respite care your Mum received at Greenhill House. We recognise that respite care can provide a much-needed break for the whole family, and we were glad to be able to step in and support you both.

The staff listened and acted requests made by the family. The layout was very good: it was an easy walk and although the seating in the lounge was good for residents, it wasn't easy visitors to sit there with the resident. I think that staff in the lounge/diner shouldn't be on their phones as much as they were but interacting with residents instead. I was generally very pleased with mum's care but there were times when communication between and management could've been better. However everyone reacted quickly when mum became ill, and a hospital bed was provided quickly too.

Dear A J. Thank you for taking the time to share your valued feedback for Greenhill House. We are pleased to share that we are investigating options to create an additional quiet seating area where our residents can spend time with their visitors, away from their individual rooms or the main communal areas. Thank you for your feedback about mobile phone usage - care plans for our residents are updated electronically via secure, dedicated, work mobile phones and devices. We will remind our team to make people aware that this is what they are doing, as we appreciate that this could easily be misconstrued. If you would like to discuss anything directly with the team, please do get in touch.Many thanks,
Greenhill House
Most staff take extra time to converse with residents and offer support when needed, which is appreciated. Even when living independently acknowledgement is often needed.

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.
Thank you for taking the time to share your lovely feedback and compliments for Greenhill House in Cheddar. We are delighted that you rate all aspects of your experience as 5 stars, particularly given your professional background.

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.

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.
Thank you for taking the time to share this heartfelt review. We are truly honoured to have had the privilege of caring for your mother for the past nine years. It's wonderful to read that the standard of your mum's care has met expectations and has continued to do so whil adapting to her changing needs.Best regards, Somerset Care

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.
