My brother needed to move from a mental hospital in Somerset to a nursing home as he is suffering from Alzheimer's vascular dementia and is currently at the final stage of this illness. My twin sister and I along with my husband viewed Frethey House Care Home with Nursing in August 2016 after visiting several others and knew straight away we wanted our brother to be there. A warm and friendly welcome by the Care Manager and her staff who portrayed a caring professional approach was to us outstanding and has since been. I am thrilled my brother was given the opportunity of care at this particular home. Our hopes are that our brother will be able to stay there until his final days. A big thank you Frethey House from a grateful family!

A cup of tea was always there if we wanted one on our visits and we enjoyed many of the entertainments with her. It made such a difference to us as a family knowing she was haappy

My wife had Parkinson's and narrowing arteries of the heart. My wife had no balance at all and everything had to be done for her. She was difficult insisting she could stand etc and consequently fall. She was very well looked after, patiently, kindly and efficiently. Encouraged to do things, we were listened to by staff, occasional lapses of communication but put right quickly. It felt right as a place.
When we phoned to confirm death a foreign nurse unable to understand conversation. But otherwise all staff have been excellent while he was in their care.

My mum came to Frethey House on a recommendation from a friend, who had had a very positive experience there. She very much felt it was the right choice for her offering her a place of friendliness and safety. She felt she was listened to by the staff regarding any comment she has on her care and acted upon them. My mum always spoke highly of all at Frethey House who came into contact with her and as her family we always felt welcomed and reassured at all times. We are really grateful that she was able to end her days in the care of Frethey House. Thank you.

We looked at several nursing homes before choosing Frethey. What made Frethey stand out when we visited was the friendly calm but efficient atmosphere. The way the residents were being talked to and the interaction of the staff with the residents. My brother moved into Frethey in June 2014. The staff soon got to know him, his likes and dislikes and above all else his sense of humour. We visited frequently and to hear the laughter coming from his room was brilliant. My brother had Motor Neurone disease which is a progressive, limiting illness that threw up a lot of challenges along the way. I always felt that the staff were very aware of the changes that the illness brought and supported my brother's choices. I always knew that I could talk to the manager and her staff no matter how busy they were. She is a very hands on manager who gives and gains respect from her staff. My brother and my family built up some wonderful relationships with the staff. My brother died in September 2015 and we will be forever grateful to the care team for the support and care they gave to my brother. The staff are what makes Frethey so good.
The care we received for my father was excellent. I have no hesitation in recommending or using this care home again. All the staff are helpful and polite and always attended brilliantly to my fathers needs.

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.
