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.

The Winsor Nursing Home is a beautiful place. The standard of care is exceptional, and the staff are all very caring and friendly. It is spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated. The food is very good too. My mother is settling in well and has enjoyed the pottery sessions. She particularly loves the visiting dog, who comes to the home quite often.

I find the care my husband is receiving very good. He is well looked after and I have no worries about him. I phone him every day when I am not able to go to the home and everyone is so helpful to me and my husband.

This is our second experience of a care home and I have been very favourably impressed with the efforts made to cope with the restrictions on activity caused by covid. The staff have cared for my wife (and me) in a very good way.

My wife became a resident in December 2019. "Covid-19" restrictions have been in place for 12-months. Visiting has thus been severely restricted or stopped for two "lockdown" periods, so personal observation on the review options were limited. The ratings relied on her descriptions and family phone calls with management and staff - all extremely satisfactory. The nursing and care for my wife has been very good and a great reassurance to the family and I.

I have not been able to enter the care/nursing home since my husband was transferred from hospital in May this year, but staff have been very helpful in enabling me to see my husband regularly in the garden room. He is, however, rather forgetful and lonely. He does enjoy the meals very much.

This is a good nursing home and I am happy to be here but I am very surprised at the poor quality of some of the food.

This is a good nursing home and I am happy to be here but I am very surprised at the poor quality of some of the food. I suspect much of it comes pre-cooked or frozen, the fish is inedible and menus not well balanced. The government is constantly urging us to eat five a day, support local traders and to buy British and seasonal food when possible, thus reducing food miles and causing less atmospheric pollution. Since lockdown, this is even more important and it is a great pity it is not carried out here. Try the menus for six months yourselves.
Thank you for your kind words about our home and for your feedback about our menu. All of our meals are home-cooked and our menu has been selected with both nutrition and the tastes of our residents in mind - I will be sure to pass your feedback on, as it is truly invaluable to our team.

My mother has been in The Winsor since mid-July 2018. During that time I have been overall happy with the care she has received. If a small problem or query has arisen I have been happy with how it has been resolved. The management and staff have cared for her with kindness and dignity and when visiting her I have noted that this applies to all the other residents around. She is always kept well dressed and clean, including her hair and nails.
Thank you for taking the time to review The Winsor. Your feedback is invaluable to us and the manager and the team will really appreciate your kind words - I will be sure to pass them on. Best wishes

Dear Marie, thank you so much for your lovely review. We know how difficult the transition into care can be for both our residents and their loved ones, so it is wonderful to hear that your mother is settling well and that you feel so welcome. I will pass your kind words onto the manager and the team. Best wishes, Fae.
In the welcome brochure it stated residents go out for walks - lack of staff, this doesn't happen.

I am visiting family from overseas and have been visiting my aunt. I am very impressed with the facility. The food served looks fresh and appealing, cheese and fruit was served up this afternoon, very fresh. My aunt always looks well cared for, her room is lovely.

Thank you for writing such a lovely review Emma - we will certainly pass this on to the manager and her team. Kindest regards, Kate.
