My mum became a resident in Grovelands last year. We as a family feel it was the best choice we could have made. In July, my mum was 90. Grovelands went above and beyond to make mum's day special by putting on a cream tea for her and the staff were so attentive, as always. The food was delicious, presented beautifully and the table was decorated. Mum felt so important, which if course we think she is. Family and friends came, and more than one person said to me, "You certainly made a good choice for your mum, what a lovely home". We couldn't agree more! Thank you, Grovelands.

My mum was a resident here for four years and it was welcoming and friendly. All the staff encouraged and supported her as dementia and mobility loss took hold. I always found it to be a caring environment and had a homely feeling.

Since moving into Grovelands her confidence, health and overall demeanor has improved no end. I put this largely down to the fantastic staff at Grovelands.
They have been so accommodating and welcoming, I feel a great deal of relief and comfort that she is being cared for with compassion and dignity 24/7.
The light, airy home is kept spotlessly clean and the meals are fantastic and varied.
Huge thanks to all the staff.

My husband spent 2 weeks with you for restbite and he really enjoyed it. All of the staff were excellent, very friendly and helpful. There was a good variety of food and drink, which he was encouraged to eat. I would be very happy if he could be here permanately.

My Mother, who will be 106 years old in April 2026, has now been at Grovelands for over 2 years. All the staff take great care to ensure my Mother has the best life possible at her advanced years. The choice we made to settle her at Grovelands was an easy one having compared it with several others. It has a friendly atmosphere, it's always spotlessly clean and all the staff are willing to help in any way. I am happy to recommend Grovelands to potential residents.

My husband has loved your care. He would not have lasted this long without the good care of the home and staff 3 1/2 years. They have looked after him and have been helpful to me.

This is a really nice care home, very well laid out and a pleasant atmosphere. I particularly like that they have varied activities to do and often do excursions. The staff are all very friendly & really good with the residents.

Could not recommend highly enough, It was a clear winner when we viewed several homes at the start and we have since had to switch my Grandmother due to her circumstances and can honestly say absolutely none that we have viewed since come anywhere near either.
The home itself is lovely, Has everything that is required, Rooms and communal areas are all a really good size and always kept very clean and tidy.
The staff are incredible, at all levels.
My Grandma never wanted for anything, they always made time for her and any visitors also.
Would recommend to anyone, very grateful to everyone at Grovelands.

I'm delighted with my parents' experience at Grovelands. Right from our first visit, we felt very comfortable and welcome. They loved how large and comfortable their rooms were and, in particular, really appreciated the en-suite bathrooms. My parents still talk about how much they enjoyed the food at mealtimes and how nice they found the regular rounds of tea and biscuits. The icing on the cake, and a real credit to Grovelands, is the staff. My parents cannot praise them highly enough. I saw first-hand how deeply they care about their residents, at all times professional and yet with real empathy. Grovelands is easily my top choice for a care home for my parents.

My mum has been living in Grovelands for nearly two years. I cannot speak highly enough of the care she has received since moving there. The staff are all wonderful, kind and caring and they go above and beyond with all the activities they put on to keep the residents happy and engaged both mentally and physically. Grovelands is always clean and well maintained and I really don't think we could have found a better place for Mu to be at this stage in her life.
Dear Kim, Thank you for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review for the care your Mum receives at Grovelands in Yeovil. It is a privilege to support your Mum, and we are so pleased that she is settled, happy and engaged in the place she now calls home.Best regards,Grovelands

I have worked at Grovelands since 2007 and feel a strong sense of pride in the outstanding reputation of the home and the dedicated staff team who are committed to caring for our residents. It is greatly important to me to support people to make our home their home, with photos and furnishings to truly personalise their environment. It is also important to support and encourage residents to maintain their interests and be introduced to new adventures and make new friends!
When residents choose to live at Grovelands I feel it is the beginning of a new chapter and journey in their lives, and my aim is to make this the happiest time possible and ensure that meaningful regular contact with their family and old friends is a priority.I believe strongly in paying attention to detail and empowering staff to provide the best standard of residential and PETALS dementia care with compassion and dignity.
Visitors always comment on our incredibly friendly staff, the warm welcome they receive and the homely atmosphere. I am proud that residents and their families speak so highly of Grovelands and recommend us to their friends. I welcome feedback to enable changes and continual improvements to be made with the service.
