  • Gotton Manor Care Home, Taunton
Gotton Manor care home provides residential, nursing, palliative care and dementia care for up to 60 older people, from respite stays to long-term residence.

This beautiful home was once a manor house; it has been refurbished with tasteful, modern decoration and continues to be surrounded by acres of countryside. It is a 10-minute drive into the town of Taunton, Somerset, where residents can access shops, amenities and a railway station.

Each bedroom is single, most have en-suite facilities and all have television points. The lounge still features the manor’s original open hearth and a piano. There are plenty of sociable dining areas which look out onto the rolling countryside.

Residents are supported to pursue their own hobbies or join in with group activities and outings. Food is home-cooked and nutritionally balanced, with dietary requirements catered for and support in eating and drinking if needed.

Residents are encouraged to personalise their rooms, bringing with them a little piece of 'home' with them, when they move in.

I am delighted to leave a review for the team at Gotton Manor. Everytime i visit i am greeted with a warm welcome. My Aunt has been there since May and is very happy and settled now. She is well cared for and the staff treat her with respect and dignity.


My husbands cousin has been at Gotton Manor

since Sept 2016. Which in itself is testament to the wonderful care given by all in the team. She is always treated with respect and dignity and with a wonderful sense of fun. She has thrived hence being in her 9th year. Thankyou all

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both of my parents are now living at Gotton Manor Coach House and I am so happy with their care. Yes, the building is tired and in need of a lot of work, but the care and respect that the staff have for the residents outweighs all that, they really do seem to be like one big happy family and I often
hear them all chattering and having fun together and with the residents.
Dad can be quite a tricky chap but everyone is so very patient with him and he (despite his best efforts) has slowly settled in. It's helped that Mum joined him in December as they could be together again. They celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary with the staff and the other residents, which was lovely. Also, when my daughter got married last month, the home management arranged for a carer to accompany Mum to the wedding for the day, which made all the difference to us as we could enjoy having her there with us without worrying about her well being. She had a lovely day!
Thank you Gotton Manor
Reply from Janine Marshall, Registered Manager at Gotton Manor Care Home

Thank you for your lovely review. It has been lovely to see how well both of your parents have settled in to the Coach House. They are such a pleasant couple and it is a pleasure to have them here. We all had a fantastic time celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary and it was a great time for all staff and residents included. We all enjoyed hearing about the wedding and we wish your daughter a long and happy marriage. Thank you for the lovely review. The staff will appreciate your kind words.

Mum came to Gotton Manor from another care home , it was a better move for us all , no more long commutes , Mum arrived in August 2024 , in a very hot month , was made welcomed and soon adjusted to the different routine and timings . Mum was well looked after and although didn't join in much socially
, there was always something to do in the afternoon .
Well mums favourite , the food , was excellent very high quality and very well prepared by staff , no names but we all know the chef lol ....
Mums room was airy and light and laid out to her needs , she had patio doors which she could have open on sunny days . Sadly Mum lost mobility and found everything hard , but she had her tv which she loved .
Breakfast , morning coffee , lunch , afternoon coffee and usually cake lol , evening meal , always served hot and she never faulted it .
The staff, mum becomes very attached to her carers, i cant name them but a few had a special place in her heart and ours xx
Thank you

Dad has been in Gotton for nearly 2 years, and it's a great place. I can't recommend it enough. You always get a warm welcome, nothing is ever to much trouble, you are always updated on his wellbeing. All the staff are lovely. The activities are great he joins in with everything, and the lady who runs
the activities always makes sure no-one misses out. When it's nice weather they can sit outside and soak up the sun with lovely views of the countryside. When I visit I feel like we are all one big family. You couldn't ask for a better place.

Beautiful home and settings. The staff are very professional and caring. As soon as I came to visit for a tour before my nan moved in as a resident I had no worries or concerns and knew this was the perfect place for my nan. Everyone is so welcoming and always has the time to chat or give updates when
needed. My nan is very happy here and is very well looked after. I would recommend this home to anyone.

This is a beautiful heritage building with outstanding views. The staff are just so friendly and welcoming and they always have time to update you on your loved one staying there or for any questions you need answered. The building smells fresh and no odours like other homes I've visited. The building
is warm, homely and bright. My daughter and I are so pleased that our family member is staying here. We've noticed a big difference in her, she's happy and most importantly she's made friends who apparently sit together most of the time especially meal times. There's activities on a monthly plan. The food is very good and my mum can't get enough. Her room is quaint with open beams and the outlook is overlooking the patio with seating and pot plants and up over the hills. My daughter and I feel so happy and we're treated like part of the family. We would highly recommend this beautiful care home.

My first impression of Gotton Manor Care Home, apart from its beautiful location was how clean it is and how friendly and welcoming the staff are. We spent a few hours with my brother and I was impressed with the dignity he was afforded in his personal care and the quality of the care he received during
our visit.
The afternoon entertainment was very good the day we visited - a good old sing-along! I would have liked to stay longer but we had an impending two-and-a-half-hour journey to return home by 4.30.

My first experience of the place is today, as my brother was admitted as a resident.
First impression, a clean, spacious place, with a relaxed ambience. Superb staff who came every time he accidentally set off his personal alarm! and were very approachable and willing.
Also got to meet the resident
cat, who seemed well looked after and in fine shape, a quiet reflection of the home?! I think so.

My mother has been a resident at Gotton Manor for nearly 3 years. The home is well managed and the care and welfare of the residents are always the top priority of staff. All members of staff are very caring and compassionate. This covers everyone including nursing and caring staff, management, domestic,
catering and maintenance team; I could not wish my mother to be anywhere else except at Gotton Manor and would have no hesitation in recommending this facility to anyone looking for an institution to look after their loved ones.

My mother went to Gotton Care Home after having several falls at home.
We found all the staff very caring and knowledgeable.
They kept us well informed of any issues and consulted with us over decisions to be made.
We were told when outside medical staff e.g. GP, paramedics were called in - they
were impressed with the standard of care in the home.
The facilities always appeared clean and tidy.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My sister with dementia was transferred from hospital to the Coach House unit at Gotton Manor, as a temporary measure.
At first, the appearance of the Coach House unit made my heart sink however I was met with a clear sense of warmth and caring.
This part of Gotton Manor is tired but as it is smaller
than the main house it is more like a large home which thoroughly suited my sister. Her temporary stay increased to 3 months. The staff are absolutely amazing. So cheerful and caring. This was a wonderful opportunity for my sister to get used to care home living.
We have had to move her to a care home nearer us but will always be grateful for the wonderful confidence my sister achieved and was made to feel loved.
The directions to Gotton Manor need to be signposted! The sat nav takes you everywhere and we ended up finding it almost by mistake!!
Reply from Honor Keatley, Managing Director at Gotton Manor Care Home

Thank you so much for your lovely review. It really is what goes on within a care home that is importance and the fact that your sister was met with warmth and caring, is lovely to read.
I will definitely look at signage - thank you for raising this.
I hope your sister settles well in her new home.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Dad lived at Gotton Manor Care Home from September 2022 to November 2023. I visited Dad there in September, October and November 2022 and in March, August and September 2023. I was always satisfied that Dad, who had dementia was being well looked after, even though my visiting times varied and were
unannounced I never once heard staff raise voices nor saw any unpleasant attitudes, nor found unpleasant smells. I phoned often from France and the management and nursing staff always took the time to answer my questions. The food was plentiful and tasty too. Although many of the care staff were not born in the UK, we'd talk about how the elderly were cared for by family in their home countries and it was obvious that they were offering that level of care to Dad. After Dad died I realised my loss was their loss too and we cried together as if they were family. For me, care is much more important than buildings but when the lift broke down, the staff found solutions to get the residents to the dining room and communal areas.

(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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 21 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.

Janine

Janine Marshall

Job Title: Registered Manager Joined: 2016

Hello, my name is Janine. I am the Home Manager at Gotton Manor Care Home.


I started my career in care over 20 years ago, working as a care assistant in a local nursing home. Over the years, I have worked in community care, nursing homes, and residential homes, and whilst I worked for a care agency, I did HCA shifts in hospitals and hospices.


I have put my all into working my way up the ranks and I have been working in supervisory and Deputy Managers posts over the last 10 years.


Since working with our fantastic team at Gotton Manor Care Home, I have felt nothing but welcomed and supported both in-house and by the rest of the Harbour Healthcare team.


I am passionate about our residents receiving person-centred care and I am very proud of our beautiful home and amazing views.

Job Title: Deputy Home Manager

Hi, my name is Lisa. I am a Senior Carer at Gotton Manor Care Home.


Care work was a new career for me. I was a little nervous at first but the training has been nothing but brilliant! Really supportive management too.


Whilst I've been at Harbour Healthcare (Gotton Manor Care Home) I have worked my way up to Senior Carer.


The Team really pulls together to make sure residents are our main priority.


No two days are the same and the residents make every day at work worthwhile.


It truly is a family community!
