Review from Stephanie T (Daughter of Resident) published on 5 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mum was at Wyndham House for two years and during that time she was well cared for every day until she passed away. The staff are some of the kindest people I have ever met, from the manager through to everyone who worked there. I was always kept informed about Mum's health and wellbeing, with a
call to me if anything changed. She was encouraged to get up in the morning, take part in activities and chat to other residents, but never forced to. If she chose to get up late, then she could. Her room was small, she only went there to sleep though so it wasn't a problem. The food is varied and cooked extremely well, lots of treats as well as a balanced diet. Outside, the garden area is large and well maintained, Mum enjoyed sitting there on sunny days. As her time neared its end all the staff were so kind and caring, not only to Mum, but to my husband and I as well. If I could give them six stars I would.

My husband and I visited the home today and were very impressed by the care given to our friend. She was well dressed and groomed, very happy. She told us that the yellow coats provided excellent activities. Her room was clean and comfortable and the food excellent. She was well cared for by the nursing
staff.

My wife has been attending Wyndham House for one day a week for a couple of years now. I am totally confident she receives the best of care. She is totally reliant on her carers for everything. She is always happy when I fetch her and has enjoyed the range of enrichment activities put on her the residents.
She has developed trust in the staff who work hard to ensure both her physical and emotional needs and well catered for. I thank the staff for adding to her social interactions and making her life more positive.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Wyndham House provides an essential respite time between a spell in hospital and home with organised home help/support.
The staff were all kind, thoughtful and nothing too much trouble.
As one of the younger 'inmates' I found end-of-day meals somewhat limiting but appreciate it suits most of the clients.
Reply from Somerset Care, Somerset Care at Wyndham House

Since my mother-in-law in the home, she has settled in really well - has joined in lots if activities.
When she lost her partner, the staff were very kind and helped her stay active and not stay in her room.
We find the home very welcoming and Mum loves it there.

Overall very happy with the way Mum and Dad are being looked after. There are challenges but the staff are amazing and will always look for solutions. It is difficult to judge 'value for money' as we have nothing to compare their experience with but from my point of view knowing that Mum and Dad are
so well looked after is invaluable.

Dear Andrew, thank you for taking the time to share your lovely feedback for Wyndham House. We are incredibly privileged to look after your Mum and Dad, and are so pleased to hear that you feel reassured by the care they receive.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Just need to put this in writing, a huge thank you to absolutely everyone at Wyndham House.
Both my parents were residents at Wyndham, sadly my mother passed on the 22nd December, it was very peaceful but leaving my father broken.
The care and affection given to my dad over the past couple of weeks
cannot be bettered. Christmas Day a table was laid in a private room and a wonderful meal was given to my dad, my wife and I. Every member of staff that came in was so pleasant and helped make light of a sad time.
I can honestly say that the staff there are there for the good of the residents, they have a vocation, nothing is too much trouble and there’s always a smile.
It’s comforting knowing a parent is being looked after especially when you are four-plus hours away.

Review from Susan W (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 October 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our 96 year old father came to Wyndham House for 4 weeks respite care and left a changed man, having been given encouragement and support to be more independent and having felt as if he'd stayed in a very good hotel!
Many of the staff were exceptional, being sensitive to Dad's needs and showing respect
for his dignity at all times often aware of any possible problems before they happened. Being a larger care home meant that he was offered services such as hair, foot and nail care which he'd been unable to access easily at home, as well as social activities.
He really enjoyed the variety and quality of freshly prepared home-cooked food, especially the cakes and porridge! The dining room staff made sure he was able to eat independently and with dignity and soon understood his preferences.
Although his room seemed rather small and did not have private facilities except for a hand basin, his personal care was respectful and of a high standard and he felt comfortable and safe.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum has been at Wyndham House for a few months.
She's been well looked after, with care, respect, dignity, and sense of humour!
The staff supporting Mum are also supporting us, emotionally, it's so very hard to entrust someone else to care for your loved one as you did.
All staff are approachable
and any issues can be raised promptly and are dealt with with professionalism.
From observation 90% of staff work extremely hard, to maintain high standards, and some will do the bare minimum. But the care standard is high, the atmosphere is cheerful, welcoming. Thank you to ALL staff for the role you each play in Mum's care.

Thank you for taking such good care of my husband during his unexpectedly long period of respite care. Every time I called or visited I had a strong sense of how much care and effort the team made to keep him calm relaxed and happy.
Wyndham House itself was well run with facilities such as hairdressing,
manicure and pedicure. There was a choice of activities available during the day with a Church Service on Sunday.
All in all, I would be happy to suggest to anyone looking for a care home that they take a look at Wyndham House.

The staff at Wyndham are fabulous so caring and helpful I feel happy that Mum is being looked after well, she says the food is nice and it certainly looks it. The activities team try to keep the residents occupied and engaged. Mum recently had an outing to the local cinema - what a great idea. Also,
I am able to visit any time I like, which is very important. Well done to all at Wyndham House.

My mother moved into Wyndham House Care Home some thirteen years ago after a serious illness made managed care essential. She recently celebrated her hundredth birthday. We have no other living family and I live abroad. It has been a huge weight off my mind to know that she is being well looked after
and our weekly video calls are invaluable for this.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my parents so wanted to be together at Wyndham House Care Home. Eventually they were there and in rooms next to each other. They were there around eighteen months. Absolutely felt like their home and they loved it. Obviously lock down was a major issue but we kept in touch daily and visited as
often as we could albeit a four to five hour journey. Soon as restrictions lifted we tried to grab back that stolen time but age related illnesses had set in. Various hospital stays and difficulties with both of them sadly ended with us losing them both within a month. They wanted their final days together and mum died first, Dad held on till a week after her funeral and they were reunited. Wyndham went above and beyond always with care and support and kept me strong enough to push through a horrendous few weeks. I couldn't have done it without them. I made a donation to the comfort fund, had roses and a plaque to go into the gardens so all can sit and remember my parents. I am so very grateful and thankful to all there.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.721)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.721) out of 10 for Wyndham House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.721 for Wyndham House is calculated as follows: ( (98 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 129 Ratings = 4.721
  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 Wyndham House is based on 11 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 11 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.
