My 96 year old dad has been in Frethey House for nearly a year now. When he first went in, he had lost the will to live, eat and laugh. After only a couple of weeks there was a huge improvement in his life attitude. He is now full of life and fun and laughs like he used to. This is all thanks to the wonderful staff, there is always something for him to do, the connection and communication with everyone is fantastic and he loves the food.
We are delighted with the difference we see in your dad, and it's wonderful to see him enjoying life again. Thanks very much for taking the time to write us a review, and if there is ever anything more we can do to help, please just let us know.
Everyone is friendly, caring and compasionate and nothing is too much trouble. I would...
If you require a respite, short or long term nursing home placement in the Taunton Deane area I highly recommend Frethey House.
It was a huge honour to be able to support your mother at that point in her life and we are all so sorry for your loss. We really appreciate your feedback and your recommendation - it means a lot to the team - and if there is ever anything more we can do to support you or your family, please don't hesitate to ask.
Very happy with the care my mother receives at Frethey House. Staff are exceptionally caring and clearly have spent time getting to know mum's likes and dislikes. They clearly really do care. The manager is kind, efficient and can often be seen giving the extra smile. Thank you for all you do.

Dad has been a resident for only 6 weeks to start with he didn't join in any activities but now he really looks forward to them, especially singing and anything to do with history. Yesterday the pancake tossing went down really well he was looking forward to that. He has commented how friendly the staff are (as also like to say that they are all very friendly) and also enjoys the company of the other residents. My sister, brother and I would like to state how happy we are to leave him here and don't worry about him at all. We visit several times a week and he has got his spark back. Thank you so much.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a fantastic review! We're so happy to hear that your dad is receiving such great care at Frethey House and has his spark back. It's a privilege to support him. The care and services we deliver as a team to our residents and their loved ones are extremely important to us. I will pass on your kind comments to the whole team.
Staff welcoming and my auntie seems very happy and comfortable. Thank you for looking after her so well. Some of the questions we haven't been here to be able to answer.

In the final days of my mother-in-law's life, the staff at Frethey House were tremendous. Everyone was empathetic, considerate and kind. Their care for my mother-in-law was outstanding.

Initially placed for respite care, Dad then required end-of-life care. The home were extremely accommodating and he was able to get as comfortable as possible for his final days. All the staff were extremely caring and professional and the end of life was handled with the utmost sensitivity.

Lovely staff. Very friendly place that puts patients at the centre of everything they do. The manager could not have been more helpful. I hope in the future that my mum can move here when she has a need for more intensive care.

Thank you for your lovely feedback! We hope it doesn't happen any time soon, but we would love to have your mum here!
From the day I went to view Frethey House as a possible place for my dad, to receive end-of-life care, I cannot fault anything.

From the day I went to view Frethey House as a possible place for my dad, to receive end-of-life care, I cannot fault anything. The staff are all wonderful and can't do enough to look after dad and support us as a family, especially my mum, who has dementia. In fact, we have been so impressed mum is going there for 2 weeks respite while we go away and she is really looking forward to her holiday. All the staff always greet us warmly with a smile and I can see and hear them interacting with other residents in a compassionate, and kind manner. I was so worried about what to expect in regards to the care dad might receive, as his time in hospital before going to Frethey was awful, and I had heard mixed reviews about care homes. But I feel really relieved and reassured, to know that dad is in a safe place where all his needs are being met to a high standard.
Thank you for your kind words, we're thoroughly enjoying mum being here and it is great to see your mum and dad enjoying the various activities together and enjoying time together. It is both a privilege and pleasure to support mum and dad.
Always felt the management and support staff really cared for all the patients in the home. Mum was impressed with the meals. The home was always clean, and it was so lovely to see all staff smiling. 5 stars would be my assessment.

My partner and I have been together for 20 years so it was a big decision to get him into a care home. I looked at 6 homes. When I made an appointment to visit Frethey, I was greeted by the manager with a smile on her face. I met with staff and maintenance who greeted us like friends. I was made to feel welcome and this is how I feel every time I come to the home. The care staff and management are all excellent. I have made the right choice. The staff all know my name.
Thank you Gloria for taking the time to leave us a review and we would like to thank you for your words of kindness which are very much appreciated. Your feedback will be shared with the team.
My wife has been a resident for nearly six years and I do not have any complaints. The staff do a very hard job but are always attentive and caring.

All the staff are friendly and helpful to the visitors and are all very caring towards the residents. My mum seems happy at Frethey and always joins in with the activities. Her health has definitely improved since she has been at Frethey, and this can only be because of the care that she gets there. I am not able to see Mum very often, but I am happy knowing that she has the care that she gets and that she is safe and happy.

My Dad moved into Frethey House only five weeks ago and already is so settled and happy. The staff are so attentive and kind and made him feel so at home. He looks so much better it's all the good food he is having and the attention. Thank you all

As the Home Manager at Frethey House Nursing and Residential Home in Bishops Hull in Taunton, I believe that our residents should receive the highest quality of care possible.
The team and I endeavour to always maintain this high quality of care, and we also like to make every day memorable for each resident.
Working at Frethey House is a true privilege. We are lucky enough to enjoy stunning views across the Somerset Countryside, views of a beautiful courtyard garden, which is always full in the Summer with our residents. The home has a wonderful, friendly atmosphere, thanks to both the caring team and the cosy surroundings.
I always aim to lead by example, involving myself in the day-to-day life of our community as well as making Frethey House a happy place in which we live and work. It is wonderful to see the smiles on residents' faces every day. I have worked in care since 2009, and I have self-directed my education to degree level, incorporating a degree-level leadership and management qualification in Health and Social Care. This knowledge has highlighted to me key ways in which I can support the team to get the best out of themselves, whatever their role, and I ensure that everyone I work with gets the chance to develop professionally if they so choose.
At Frethey House, we are one big family, and everything we do is from the heart. One of our colleagues is just celebrating 20 years at Frethey House (it was about 30 in total, and she left to have her child). We treat the people living in our community as individuals, understanding their choices, wishes and dreams and making a difference to their lives every day.
It is very important to us that they feel valued and respected, as their experiences and life stories are of value to us all.
