My husband suffering from mixed dementia was afforded excellent care whilst in residence. His final days were handled with great kindness, understanding and respect. He settled well and responded well to the support he received. It was extremely comforting to me to see his smiles and reactions. They
spoke well of the unseen care he must have been experiencing.

Mum has been at Grovelands for almost five years and we wouldn't have her anywhere else. The most important thing for me is the care she receives from the most wonderful staff, I can't fault them. You can tell they genuinely care about the residents, they are kind, patient and always smiling, mum is
in the best hands we could ever hope for. Her room is lovely, the facilities and activities are always on point, the garden is lovely for a wee seat or a wander and the food is gone made and looks lovely.
My only area for improvement is, whatever you are paying the staff, it's not nearly enough, because they are the backbone of Grovelands and are what make it a 100 out of 10, so I hope the owners and management appreciate everything they do. There are so many care homes in Yeovil, you don't want them being poached!
Thank you all of you for looking after mum and making her so happy xx

I cannot thank ALL the staff at Grovelands enough for the care and support that my Mother has received since becoming a resident at this amazing Carehome. Everyone goes above and beyond to make sure that residents needs and requirements are always met .
The care given is outstanding, the rooms are
spotless, the daily activities are stimulating and entertaining, and staff are always very caring and supportive.
Choosing a placement for a precious family member is a very challenging and emotional experience, but after visiting 8 care centres as soon I stepped inside Grovelands I just knew it was the place for Mum. I was given such a warm welcome by Reception Staff, introduced to many of the amazing staff there and shown around with such compassion. I knew instantly that it was the perfect place for mum to live!
Reply from Grovelands, Somerset Care at GrovelandsWow - thank you so much for your incredible feedback for our Grovelands dementia, respite and residential care home in Yeovil!

I can honestly say that Grovelands is outstanding. We have been visiting my relative here for the past 4 years and the staff have become like extended family. We have felt supported and aided in our Grovelands journey from selecting a place for our loved one, getting to know and celebrate individual
preferences and personal life stories and supporting us as a family when extra help is required. Communication is excellent. Standards of care and knowledge are remarkable. Staff are well trained and obviously enjoy their jobs. Staff at all levels without exception, all demonstrate compassion, understanding and love to residents and visitors alike. Care is patient and kind and the residents' needs are always the focus. Nothing is too much trouble.
The activities are varied and popular and our loved one particularly enjoyed the walks and art. In these past 4 years, they have had far more interests and new experiences than we could have ever imagined. We will be eternally grateful.
Reply from Somerset Care, Somerset Care at GrovelandsDear Karen, thank you so much for your incredible review - it is wonderful to hear that your relative is thriving here at Grovelands and that your whole family feels part of the extended Grovelands family. We strive to create a truly welcoming atmosphere and set ourselves high standards for delivering person-centred care and we are so pleased that this reflects your own experiences. Best regards, Somerset Care.

Whilst visiting with my partner I observed excellent care being provided, I am currently a registered nurse manager working within the social care sector, and I can confirm that I have witnessed outstanding care. As a family, we have absolute trust that our family member is receiving the very best care.
Fantastic communication from all staff and management, with close personal relationships with the team which enables us to have total confidence that our family member is in the right place.
I would highly recommend and encourage others to become part of the family here at Grovelands.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum was 95 and lived at Grovelands for 16 months, in that time she received the most compassionate care anyone could have wished for.
The reception staff are efficient and very friendly.
The care staff go above and beyond and ensure all residents are happy and kept safe. They all got to know Mum
and her fun ways. She was a bit cheeky and did like to have a laugh and they certainly laughed with her.
The activity team are amazing and friendly and encourages residents to become involved. Unfortunately, Mum's health deteriorated and her wish was to stay at the home rather than be admitted to hospital. The end-of-life care she received was exceptional, mum was treated with care and dignity at all times and the family were so very very grateful. I really miss visiting Mum and I also really miss all the staff who welcomed Mum's family into the Grovelands family.
Reply from Somerset Care, Somerset Care at GrovelandsDear Denise, we are so touched by your kind words. It means the world to us that the care we provided for your dear Mum also supported you as her family. You will always be a part of the Grovelands family and are welcome to visit anytime. Take care. Best regards, Somerset Care.

It is difficult to believe that my mum has been in care now for over a year and moved to Grovelands after an initial placement in another group home didn't work out due to her illness.
Mum is in the Petals Wing and she has settled in well and the management and staff have all been really great from
the very beginning some 10/11 months ago when she moved in.
There are some genuinely lovely staff who go out of their way to make you feel welcome when visiting and I and my family feel secure in knowing that my mum is being well looked after.
This is a great comfort to us as a family as we unfortunately live some distance away and visiting as often as we would like is not that easy.
Thank you to all at Grovelands for the exceptional work that you do.

Held a family party for my mother's 95th birthday. The manager and the staff did a brilliant job of setting up the party in the marquee. The chef baked a fantastic birthday cake. Mum had a wonderful time seeing family together in one place for the first time since her 90th birthday. Thank you, Grovelands!

When choosing a care home for my Mother in 2022 Grovelands was head and shoulders above all the others we visited as it felt so friendly, homely, and welcoming. My usually stubborn and independent mother settled in very quickly, and we were delighted with the level of care provided.
Unfortunately,
Mother became terminally ill in October and died last week. All the care staff involved in looking after her were amazing, and so compassionate. We were thankful that she was able to receive end-of-life care without having to move to a hospice.
Our thanks go to all the staff at Grovelands for making the last few months of my Mother's life so comfortable and bearable.

From my first contact with Grovelands, I have been very impressed by the staff, by their willingness to stop, welcome and answer my questions as I sought for good, kind, comprehensive care for an elderly lady (96) suffering from dementia. This lady has now been in residence for seven weeks and has settled
remarkably well. I am very grateful to the staff for their respect, kindness and care that they have shown. After struggling at home with many aspects of personal care, it is lovely to see this lady so well cared for, enjoying good food and the wide variety of activities available. I am very grateful.

My dad became seriously ill on December 8th at Grovelands. A decision between my family, the home and the paramedic was made in Dad's best interest, to stay at Grovelands. His care during his last 8 days was amazing. The support he and we received was second to none. They kept him comfortable and pain-free
and afforded his dignity at all times. We were welcomed into the 'Grovelands' family for which we will always be grateful and hold special memories.

My 93 year old father has been a resident in Grovelands for over a year. Health issues meant that it was no longer safe for him to be allowed to stay in his home. It was a difficult decision for my brother, sister and I, however, I can genuinely say that the decision to place him in Grovelands was
the best that we could have made for him. The staff are exceptional and take the time to support my father in so many ways, from assisting with hospital visits to arranging trips out. There are so many activities for him to become involved in should he wish and it is lovely to receive the newsletter with photos of him joining in. Any questions we have are promptly answered by members of staff and the manager makes time to discuss any concerns that we may have. My father has a wonderful room overlooking the garden which he loves, both of which are beautifully maintained. He is quite adamant that he doesn't want to leave the home as he feels happy and safe there.

On first entering this home I was impressed. I was met by a member of staff and shown to my room, which was bright and airy and well-decorated. After settling in I was taken to the dining room to join them for lunch which was excellent with very good choices. Throughout my respite stay, I was always
included at all times. I was permitted to use my mobility scooter and was encouraged to do so. The quality and selection of food at meal times were exceptional.
The staff, from the manager down, were always ready to give advice or assistance where needed. It was in my mind one big family which I enjoyed.
Activities were available every day on a variety of issues even down to a walking group.
At a reasonable time in the evening, the night staff would make themselves known and always looked into my room during the night hours which was very assuring. It boasts a very welcoming garden when conditions allow with plenty of seating.
If I needed a care home in the future I would choose Grovelands.

I have no complaints whatsoever about Grovelands Residential Home after almost a year of experience. Life during lockdown was understandably difficult at times but well managed. Now the situation has eased, I can see that residents are able to engage in a greater variety of activities, especially outings.
A meeting with the manager and staff was recently held. It was so useful to learn about their particular interests and roles. It was very obvious that the staff know the residents well and were very caring. I am very happy that we chose Grovelands for our friend.

We as a family can't speak highly enough of our experience of Grovelands since our mum moved in four weeks ago. From our very first call and initial visit to the care home, Grovelands set our minds at ease and made what could have been a very distressing situation into a supported and peaceful transition
for our mother and us. The staff have accommodated all of Mum's needs and especially welcomed her little dog into the home to live with her. Mum is thriving and more peaceful than she has been since she lost her husband two years ago and we know this is due to the love, support and care that Grovelands offer. Along with the social aspect, activities, healthy food and brilliant surroundings that she now lives in, we feel confident that we have found the perfect home for her. We are forever grateful to the managers and staff of Grovelands for all they have done and continue to do to make Mum's new life phase comfortable, fulfilling and fun. We can relax knowing she is safe and happy and getting all her needs met.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.933)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.933) out of 10 for Grovelands is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.933 for Grovelands is calculated as follows: ( (336 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 359 Ratings = 4.933
  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 Grovelands is based on 30 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 61 registered maximum number of service users is 12.2, which has been reached with 30 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 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.
