With just 38 bedrooms and a team of devoted staff, The Winsor has a warm, family feel the moment you walk through the door.
The team follow Sanctuary Care’s Enriching Lives framework, based on the six senses people need to feel truly happy and fulfilled – a sense of achievement, belonging, continuity, purpose, significance and security.
They are passionate about encouraging residents to have an active role in how the home is run. The resident ambassadors love to get involved in everything from supporting with activity sessions, to providing feedback to staff.
The residents are also getting involved in the home’s gardening project, planting their own herbs and vegetables, which will be used in the kitchen.
The home is in a stunning location, a stone’s throw from the beach at Minehead. The residents enjoy trips down to the seafront and to places like Blenheim Gardens.
There is so much to do at The Winsor, from pottery classes to baking, with residents making everything from fudge and muffins to their own bread. There are singing and gentle exercise sessions, visits from school children and carpet bowls. Every week the residents love their visits from therapy dogs Grace and Maggie.
There are art and craft sessions, with residents creating everything from hats for St Patrick’s Day to making fat balls for the birds in the garden and items to sell at the summer fete.
The home has some lovely spaces to relax in with family and friends, who are welcome to visit at any time. There are cosy lounges and a garden room, plus a main lounge, with stunning period features.
The home also has a private Facebook group, where family and friends can keep up to date with photos and videos of what the residents have been enjoying.
The residents enjoy delicious home-cooked food in the dining room. There is also a sweet shop and a hair salon, with a mobile hairdresser visiting for regular appointments.

Lovely and clean nursing home. Friendly and informative staff and professional. Very facilitating to my dad's needs. Friendly welcome. I have put good for facilities due to some rooms visited could do with updating, not my dad's room we chose that's lovely, but others we looked at.

She is a loner and prefers her own company, she only likes visitors who she knows, someone has been visiting occasionally and she finds it difficult to talk to them as she doesn't know them and has nothing in common with them.

We understand how important it is to respect her preferences and ensure she feels comfortable. If there's anything we can do to further support her, please don't hesitate to let us know.

My elderly friend has been in hospital for three months and was extremely frail when she moved into The Winsor in Minehead. She has a lovely big room and the staff have taken such good care of her, her health has greatly improved. The food is very good, she is eating much more than previously and is much stronger, more alert, taking part in some activities, life in general. This is all down to the wonderful caring staff and surroundings and has enabled us to have more quality time with her. Can't thank you enough.
Thank you for your fabulous five-star review, we have shared it with the home manager and he and his team will be so proud to read your comments.
We have to move Mum from a care home to nursing home for the expertise of Mum and handling equipment and staff. Mum is at risk of aspiration and was lying down to eat/drink - needs to sit out for meals. The bed rail is higher than the mattress, makes getting out hard. Needs latest stand aid to...
The staff looking after Mum are lovely and very welcoming to family. Video call and activity coordinator - Mum's only way to hear and communicate with me is vid video call but only available Monday - Friday, 9-5 and I work too, need someone to operate it for only 10 minutes at the weekend please.
Thank you for your review and praise for our team. We are sorry to hear your dissatisfaction regarding the equipment. Please rest assured we have all the correct safety equipment available but it's so important for us to assess what is safe for each resident on an individual basis. We are aware...
Thank you for your review and praise for our team. We are sorry to hear your dissatisfaction regarding the equipment. Please rest assured we have all the correct safety equipment available but it's so important for us to assess what is safe for each resident on an individual basis. We are aware that yourself and the team have been working together to discuss video calls and that they are in the process of arranging these for you at the weekends. Of course, if there is anything more we can do to address your specific concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the home manager, his door is always open.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for The Winsor, we are pleased to hear your sister has settled into the home.
Mother has settled in well since her move from hospital. Although she is bedbound she seems happy and enjoys her time watching TV and doing her crosswords etc. She does seem to have lost most of her hearing which hopefully will be sorted soon.

So glad my husband is in 'The Windsor Hotel' (The Windsor Nursing Home). Staff are friendly and polite and he seems to get on very well with them, which of course is the most important thing. Sometimes the food is not hot enough so he doesn't always finish his meal.

Thank you so much for your kind words about our home and team at The Winsor and, of course, we will share your comments about the temperature of the food with our chef manager so this is rectified immediately.

Management is excellent with a 'hands-on' approach. I have seen evidence of management going above and beyond to the benefit of residents and staff. Before Dad moved in I had good feedback from different sources from external sources.

I've been visiting the home for almost a year, there is nothing I can be negative about. During this time, they have made my friend so comfortable and at home, they have gone the extra mile to make sure she is happy. The staff are amazing, they are always going in to see her, making sure she has everything she needs, popping in to just chat etc. One of them even writes down all the football fixtures for her in her own time as she's a big football fan. I always feel welcomed when visiting, the staff are so friendly.
My partner moved into the care home nearly twelve months ago, since that time she has been looked after by all staff to an excellent standard. I would not hesitate to recommend your care home to anyone.

I have been impressed and incredibly relieved to find such very good care at The Winsor. The staff are excellent and much more proactive than in our previous care experience. My husband has only been here for three weeks, but already, his horizons have been widened - he now has a wheelchair, goes downstairs from time to time - has been wheeled outside today!
All the staff are very helpful, kind and very respectful of Dad's needs. The atmosphere of The Winsor Nursing Home is very homely, light and bright, not at all utilitarian. Lovely and friendly. Very welcoming.
