I have been having respite here for 7 years. I stay for a week at a time. I am disabled with MS. Physically only my left hand and arm work. At Green Tree Court I feel safe and cared for. Over the years I have built up friendships with staff across all elements. The only problem is a lack of carers at
some times. Some agency staff are not familiar with my needs and some are difficult to communicate wtih. At times there are too few staff to cope with the number of residents. However I love my stays here. Food is exceptional.

Reply from Green Tree Court, Somerset Care Group at Green Tree Court

I arrived at Green Tree Court two days later than I expected I had to stay in the hospital at Taunton longer than I thought. I arrived with my daughter in law mid afternoon on the 25th Feb. As soon as we arrived they made us most welcome asked if we had a meal at Taunton we said no and straight away
got a meal for us. The care I received was excellent, several members of my family came to see me and stayed for meals the food and experience was excellent would recommend to anyone.

I can't thank you enough for the care you gave to my mum during the last couple of years of her life. Mum was a very independent lady. sometimes cantankerous, but her whole personality changed when she developed dementia. it is such a struggle for her and all her family, but staying at Green Tree Court
helped to pacify her, and our family knew she was in safe hands.

As I live over 4 hours away from Exeter the reassurance that mum is somewhere safe ,with staff looking out for her throughout the day and night is wonderful. The care and support she receives is excellent .with everyone encouraging her to eat even though she is not bothered. With the wide range of
activities on offer every week there is always something she can participate in. She really enjoys going to the nursery school to help the children and also the occasional visit out to the garden centre . The Green Trees environment is so unlike what you imagine a care home to be from the casual seating areas, the garden and the balconies making it a place you are happy to spend time visiting .

Every time I walk in and out of Green Tree Court I feel a sense of calm and at peace that I'm leaving my Dad in a safe environment. The invaluable specialist Alzheimer's support received from the senior nursing staff here has helped immensely with navigating Dad's Alzheimer's journey. The staff certainly
are the jewel in the Green Tree Court crown. The weekly activities timetable is impressive and I've often joined in with a game of armchair boules or 'show & tell' sessions where Dad has enjoyed recounting all his old motorbike trials stories through old photos with other residents. The food is very good too - homemade & tasty. I love the gardens, often enjoying a walk with Dad followed by coffee sat in the sunshine. Green Trees Court has made it possible to still spend quality time with Dad and dealing with a challenging situation in the best way possible.

Reply from Green Tree Court, Somerset Care at Green Tree Court

Dear Ali, thank you for sharing your heart-warming review for Green Tree Court, and the specialist dementia support offered by our expert team. Thank you also for playing such an active role in the life of the home on visits, joining your Dad to participate in activities and enjoy meals together - we love the home to be the hub for family visits, as well as the place that your Dad now calls home. We are so pleased to be able to provide you with the reassurance you need, to know that your Dad is in safe hands. We look forward to seeing you again, soon.Best regards,Green Tree Court

The best way to assess how good something is? Test how they react to something not going quite right. We have generally been very impressed by Green Tree Court in the last year, and the extremely professional way the manager dealt with a recent issue underscores that we were right to have confidence
in the GTC approach.

The care and support that Green Tree Court provides is excellent. The dignity for residents is maintained at all times which sadly, having seen how many homes operate, is not always the case. There is a stimulating and varied programme of activities and events with spacious comfortable accommodation

I would like to extend my deepest gratitude for the exceptional care and support provided to my parents during their time at Green Tree Court. As their only child living abroad, it has been a great comfort to know they were in such compassionate and capable hands.
The kindness and dedication demonstrated
by all the staff has been truly remarkable. The respect, dignity, and love with which my father was treated until his passing have left an indelible mark on my family. Your team's commitment to his comfort and well-being was a source of great solace during a difficult time.
The genuine sense of community within Green Tree Court has profoundly impacted my mother, who continues to thrive under your care. The thoughtful activities and social interactions organized by your team have significantly enhanced her quality of life, providing her with joy and companionship.

On first walking through the door, we as a family knew it was the right place for our dear mum.
All of the staff are so natural, friendly, helpful and above all else professional, but in an easy caring way. Humour plays a large part in the day-to-day environment, which is wonderful.
Mum has settled
in really well and enjoys the social activities provided, especially the various singers that come every week to entertain and encourage the residents to join in. Who would have thought Mum at 94 would join in the Green Tree Court Choir!
As a family we could not have hoped for a better environment for Mum to enjoy her later years. Mum loves her room, which is homely, with all her photos etc but it is also practical for her needs at this stage in life.
Thank you everyone at Green Tree Court.

Mum moved to Green Tree Court in November 2023, having spent 11 months in another care home, where she was very unhappy. The change in Mum since moving is wonderful to see, she is much happier and more settled. The staff are amazing, and it really feels like a family. It has also meant that I am much

I have a 93-year-old mum who is lucky to be living under the care of the Green Tree Court family for the last two years.
She arrived at Green Tree Court underweight with various acute medical conditions. We were preparing for the inevitable!
The Green Tree Court family/team has made a positive impact
on her life. She has been treated with respect, love, and care by every member of staff. I believe this is as a result of the the model that is in place by the Care Manager and their ability to recruit train and retain quality staff members across the organisation. The staff are friendly, approachable, and empathetic and communicate well across the teams to ensure that Mum gets the best quality of care and love both physically, mentally, and emotionally.
This model of care through continuous improvements at Green Tree Court, should be replicated across the Care sector and afforded to everyone in their time of need.

My mum is here for end-of-life care and both my mum and me (her daughter) and her partner have been treated with nothing but dignity and respect. Nothing is too much for them and the carers and nurses are always putting my mum's interests first. Even though Mum is sleeping now they talk to her every
time they check on her and they tell her everything they are doing.
The hospitality and catering staff are out of this world. They don't just do the food and drink they chat to family and residents and they make sure you're ok.
Nothing is too much trouble for anyone here and I can't single out anyone's job roles as being any better than another. I have felt listened to when needed and comforted during the turbulent hours.
I had huge concerns about a home as nothing was ever going to be good enough for my mum, but I eat my words; it's lovely here. Thank you, Green Tree, for making these final moments bearable.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.893)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.893) out of 10 for Green Tree Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.893 for Green Tree Court is calculated as follows: ( (210 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 234 Ratings = 4.893

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Green Tree Court is based on 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (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

    • ii) 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 68 registered maximum number of service users is 13.6, which has been reached with 20 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

I'm an experienced registered general nurse and I've worked in the care home sector for a number of years as a Staff Nurse, Head of Care, and Home Deputy. My previous experience includes Minor Injuries & Elderly care at Okehampton community hospital, theatre work at The Nuffield, Oxford Radcliffe Infirmary, and King Faisal Hospital in Saudi Arabia.


I have worked at Green Tree Court since 2015 and my role is to support Helen, our Home Director, with the management of the home. There's a particular emphasis on clinical nursing leadership which ensures that an excellent standard of resident care is set, delivered, and maintained at all times. I also take responsibility for the safeguarding of adults and follow the home’s whistleblowing policy as required.


I deputize for Helen in her absence, am responsible for the fabric and running of the home, ensure that there are sufficient staff to carry out all duties, and make sure that the home continues to provide a safe and secure environment for both residents and team members.

Amanda Jackson

Job Title: Home Administrator

Joined: 2020

Hello my name is Amanda Jackson and I'm the Home Administrator at Green Tree Court. I'm responsible for the office and reception team and all the financial and HR aspects of the home and have worked here since 2020.


I previously owned hair and beauty salons for 14 years and gained extensive experience since then as a PA and Home Administrator. I moved to Devon from the Cotswolds two years ago with my family, as I met my husband when we were working on cruise ships and we wanted to be near the sea again. I have three children and a very excitable labradoodle called Stanley. I spend my weekends at the beach paddleboarding and kayaking with my family.


I love working at Green Tree Court as everyday is different, we are all one big enthusiastic team with the same goal.

Tim Ware

Job Title: Head Chef

Joined: 2014

I studied at Exeter Catering College for 2 years whilst working weekends at Michael Cains at the Royal Clarence Hotel. On leaving college, I worked full-time and gained a wealth of experience working on all sections from starters through to pastry. After five years, I moved to Shropshire to the 5 AA Star Albrighton Hall Hotel as Sous Chef and helped the team gain 3 AA Rosettes.


After two years, I moved back to Devon to take CDP at the Jack in the Green Restaurant and moved from there when offered the Head Chef position at The Diggers Rest, a gastro pub in Devon. Four years later, I took a position at Green Tree Court as a Sous Chef and in 2015 I got promoted to Head Chef.


In 2016, I won the National Care Chef of the Year and in 2020 I won NACC Chef of the Year. At Green Tree Court, we strive to give our residents an exceptional culinary experience with every meal they sit down to enjoy. We pride ourselves on using fresh seasonal produce sourced by local suppliers. We are passionate about our residents receiving the very best.


I love my job. It gives me satisfaction working in a care home as you see residents change physically and mentally through the food and care they receive, it can be life changing for them. Working at Green Tree Court feels like being in one big family and there is always something to look forward to each day.

Jess Birks

Job Title: Activity Coordinator

Joined: 2021

My name is Jess and I'm the Activities Coordinator here at Green Tree Court, working alongside our Activities Assistant Jodie. I've been here since December 2021 and have loved becoming part of the Green Tree family.


I've always had a passion for helping others and inspiring positive health and wellbeing, both physically and mentally. After gaining my BSc in Psychology and MSc in Public Health and Nutrition, I held a similar Activities Coordinator post nearly 6 years ago. Since then, I have worked in various settings as a Health and Wellbeing Coach and Practitioner, including within the NHS, which has only strengthened my love of helping people.


To now be working back in a care home environment is a privilege, particularly one that prides itself on delivering the quality of care I have witnessed since working here. I know the term person-centered care can often be overused, but I feel this best describes the ethos of the home. I love being part of a team that truly puts the residents and their needs at the heart of everything it does. This is reflected in the approach Jodie and I are able to take and the variety of activities we can offer; seeing the positive impact this can have to someone's wellbeing is always so rewarding and something I enjoy most about the role.
