Glastonbury Care Home Reviews (28)
Glastonbury Care Home has a Review Score of 9.7 (9.738) out of 10, based on 15 reviews in the last 2 years.
Over all time Glastonbury Care Home has 28 reviews.
Dad enjoyed the food and although he wasn’t keen to join in there did seem to be plenty of activities going on.
When my dad passed away they were all so kind and I got lots of hugs, for which I was very grateful.
Thank you for your kind feedback which is very appreciated.
As a family, we were always welcomed and offered a cuppa and updates and a room for Dad's birthday party! My mother used to stay for much of the day whilst she was alive, transferring from the hospital for the last few weeks of her life to be cared for and also near to dad. The home was a haven.
Thank you to all - a kind and caring place.
Thank you for your kind words. Your review will be shared with the team. Please do pop in for a cup of tea and a chat when you can. We are always open to visitors.
Especially over the last three years or so, with the change of management, the standard of care was outstanding. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble, and my wife was treated with respect and dignity at all times. This was most relevant when she sadly passed away in June 2023 - the care and respect shown to my wife and the immediate family at that time helped to ease a very emotional and upsetting day.
The people working in this care home will always be remembered for their help and support, not only to my wife but all my family as well. They have an extremely difficult job to do which they embrace with good humour and a smile. A heartbreaking time made easier with their help.
Your feedback will be shared with the team.
My father was at Glastonbury Care Home from November 2014 until August 2023 when he passed away. First of all, he joined in with the activities, he enjoyed the singing and tried his best to play games with balloons and balls and I think he was happy to be there. Over time he became more unresponsive to family and friends due to vascular dementia, but the carers always managed to get some response from him when we couldn't. They made great efforts to involve him with music and story CDs and talked to him, although not always getting any response. Overall, I think the care he received was good and I appreciate all that the staff did for him.
Thank you for your kind words, which are very much appreciated.
Dad clearly enjoys being at Glastonbury Care Home. His carers are compassionate, happy, and bring daily joy to Dad's life. They clearly enjoy what they do. Daily activities help Dad remain socialised with other residents. The food is amazing, with a changing, interesting menu. The team's communication is excellent and greatly appreciated as I live a distance away. I am kept informed with every aspect of Dad's care, there is a family meeting regularly for members to raise issues and a monthly newsletter summarising all the activities and events. You can reach out by phone, email, and visit personally any time. The main thing is Dad is well-cared for and happy because of the great team at Glastonbury Care Home.
Thank you for the kind feedback. We will continue as a team to work closely with you and your dad, making sure he receives personalised quality care during his stay in Glastonbury care home.
I have visited frequently and been so impressed with the staff who seem to deal with every situation calmly and courteously. Christmas was wonderful, carol singing, panto costumes and lots of fun!
The home is warm and clean, the food is good with a choice to be made on the day. The hairdresser restored her bedraggled locks and morale and she even had a manicure and head massage from very kind volunteers.
Mum is moving to a care home near me and her friends so it will be easier to visit but I cannot thank you enough for helping her make the transition.
Thank you Glastonbury Care Home
After several weeks in between Yeovil and Taunton hospitals, we finally managed to secure a place at Glastonbury Care Home for my dad on 1st January. The home immediately has a warm and friendly atmosphere and that continued throughout dads stay. The managers, nurses and all the staff are helpful and caring and particularly compassionate in my father's last days where he was treated with dignity and kindness. I only wish he could have spent more time here, but I do know that the time he did have he made the most of it and was happy and comfortable.
