Calway House

The staff are very friendly and caring. My husband is happy to be here for respite care and I feel sure that he will be safe and entertained.

My mum has been a resident at Calway House for the past two and a half months. All the main areas are bright and light and Mum has a good size room on the ground floor with access to the gardens. She finds the food very good ( she is a retired cook herself) and the staff very kind and friendly. She very much enjoys taking part in activities. I have noticed a huge reduction in her anxiety levels as the weeks have gone on, and indeed my own as I believe she is being very well cared for. The staff are relaxed but diligent and when Mum had a minor problem they dealt with it sympathetically and professionally. Very highly recommended.

The care home is one of the best in Taunton for providing care and compassion to all its residents. The staff work very hard to maintain a warm and friendly atmosphere, and carrying out the required care for its most vulnerable residents.

A good home with dedicated staff. Mr friends hearing and sight are not good so he finds communication difficult which leads to frustration.

All staff are dedicated to the roles they serve. My mother has always seemed happy.

I have found all the staff very caring and think the home is lovely and no smell to it.

But then I'm not the one living here!

The staff are friendly and always helpful.

We haven't seen this home that often because we live in South Wales. My cousin is so happy in there, she did not want to go into a care home but she is so happy and contented, everything we see is done in such a professional way.

Feel confident that my father is well looked after at this care home.

My sister was in Calway House just short of three and a half years. She received loving care and attention right up to her passing when she had a nurse/carer on either side of her bed.

While reception area, lounges, dining rooms have all been redecorated, attention should be focussed on re-decorating of residents room as and when they become vacant.

The residents appear very well supported and taken care of in all respects.

Very good end of life care. The staff team prevented hospital admission for my friend for the last 2 years. Our family are grateful for the care.

Lovely new building. The rest is just being updated. Problems with car parking. Staff are very friendly and approachable. Tension within activities staff.

Calway House is well run by the manager. As with all care homes, more staff would help. It would also be better if staff spent a little more time chatting with residents instead of form filling on the computer. The staff now look very unprofessional not in uniform and hard to recognise for residents. Car parking is an issue and rooms need repainting, especially as the new block shows them up!

The care home is a wonderful facility. Very homely with staff who are very caring and attentive.

Calway House is a well run, caring nursing home that has been my Mothers home for five years. She has been treated with respect and dignity by the excellent staff and the home is light and airy with good facilities.

Most importantly staff are kind and thoughtful. The dignity of residents is considered at all times. Special activities are consistently on offer for dementia patients if appropriate and their interests and abilities are properly taken into account. Food is good, with efforts made to provide favourite items and drinking is well monitored. Staff try to provide a homely atmosphere and encourage residents to input and offer an opinion.

My mother has resided at Calway House for 3 1/2 years (residential care). Over Christmas, her health deteriorated quickly and dramatically. The staff were kind and supportive, making the transition to nursing seamless. They looked after the whole family in a kindly, professional manner which was greatly appreciated.

My Auntie always seems well cared for and the staff are very friendly and approachable.
