The home has made every effort to ensure that my mother is looked after and it's plain to see that she looks at the staff with genuine adoration.
My father's needs are less, but still enough that he can't live alone, so the home has been very accommodating in allowing him to be on the same floor as my mother so they can spend time together.
The thing that strikes me the most when visiting is that everyone knows their names, from the person hoovering around to the people delivering the food from the kitchens. There is genuine care for the residents, not just their medical and physical needs but also as individuals and the people they were before their illnesses took over.
Thank you to all of the staff for their continued care and kindness.
Hi Jo, thank you very much for taking the time to leave us feedback about your experience. At Glastonbury Court Care Home - Care UK we set a high standard for ourselves, so we are very pleased to hear that your experience with us has been a positive one.

To her, of course, it was a place where she could be looked after temporarily until she was well enough to go home! That belief hasn't changed substantially, although she is obviously becoming more and more comfortable, even happy, in her surroundings. This is due to the way the staff have given her the freedom to be her independent, intelligent, lovable, sociable self. Valuing the individuality of residents is, we know, a policy choice throughout the home and is one of the reasons we chose it. But it requires remarkable staff to put this into practice, day-by-day and across all departments.
Alzheimer's is a horrible disease, but Glastonbury Court seems to have found a way of combining the essential professional care sufferers need with loving kindness and a genuine interest in them as individuals. Thank you.

Due to his dementia deteriorating, he was moved to Glastonbury Court and in the short time he was there, the staff on Royal were also amazing. He was very well looked after and they were incredibly supportive and caring to both my father-in-law and to ourselves. We can't thank them enough for what they did for him.
Although my father-in-law did not engage that much in the activities etc, what they offer to the residents is lovely. Relatives are kept updated via emails with the weekly activities and anything else that is going on. There is an app that keeps you informed of what activities the residents take part in.
We were so glad of our decision to choose these care homes and would highly recommend them.

Although it was a hard decision to move my dad from his home to a care home, Glastonbury has been all I and my family had hoped for and more. The property is well-maintained and clean. The staff all have time for residents and family/friends alike. The food is excellent (I've enjoyed it too!). The close connection they have with a local surgery is important with regular visits by doctors. When my dad was at home with live-in carers I was still on edge concerned for him, but now he's at Glastonbury I can relax knowing he is well cared for and I enjoy the best times with him when I visit. I would recommend Glastonbury without hesitation.

Glastonbury Court, oh my goodness, on behalf of our family, we are beyond grateful for the incredible care, love and support shown to us and my grandmother throughout her time with you. From the moment we stepped into the door, we were made to feel so welcome. The staff are all exceptionally warm, caring and friendly and couldn’t do enough for her every single day. Even after she unfortunately passed, care home staff displayed empathy and love and we were incredibly grateful and honoured to have some staff members attend her funeral service. Words genuinely can’t ever express our sincere gratitude to you all - what an incredible group of people you all are.

Mum seems to have settled straight in and her levels of anxiety seem to have lessened. She always seems to be busy doing some activity or the other.
So far, it has been only a positive experience.
Thank you.

After a fall, Mum was not able to return to independent living, so we sought respite care from Glastonbury Court Care Home. The only room available was on the upper floor on Angel Suite, where a lot of the residents have dementia. All the staff were kind, caring and very supportive to our mum. My mum understandably wanted to return to living independently in her own home, so we organised a live-in carer. After 2 weeks it was clear that Mum would be happier and safer back in the care home, where 24-hour care is in place. Mum now lives downstairs on Abbey Suite in a modern, clean room and the staff are very friendly, caring and patient, and try to include her in the varied daily activities, which she enjoys. Relatives are always kept updated with emails of the weekly activities and we can also see the activities that Mum has taken part in on our mobile phone app and relatives can join their loved ones on trips out. I fully recommend Glastonbury Court Care Home as a 1st choice for outstanding care.
Hello Jane, thank you so much for leaving us a review. I am so pleased to see how well Mum has settled in and it is such a joy to see her taking part in the activities, her smile lights up the room!

Having cared for my husband for the duration of his Alzheimer's condition, I was understandably anxious and upset when it became obvious, following a period of hospitalisation that he needed extensive and professional care. His transition at this difficult time has been handled with great care, empathy, understanding of my needs and professionalism. All members of staff are helpful, kind and doing their utmost to help.
At Glastonbury Court Care Home - Care UK we set a high standard for ourselves and really value feedback, so we are so pleased to hear that your experience with us has been positive, thank you again.

Shortly after returning home, Mum was struggling to cope and it became clear she needed help. We immediately looked again at Glastonbury Court because of the good experience we'd already had and recommendations we'd heard from other people.
Dealing with Glastonbury Court was a good experience for me, as all the staff were very helpful and understanding.
Mum felt safe and very well cared for by all of the caring staff. She had a lovely modern and clean room and had a chance to take part in many activities, which the staff encouraged her to do as much as possible. She made friends of the carers, even if she didn't always remember their names.
I want to thank Glastonbury Court for all they did for my mum in her last months of life - Making her as safe and comfortable as possible. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone in a similar position.
At Glastonbury Court Care Home - Care UK we set a high standard for ourselves, so to receive this feedback is invaluable to us and to other families who are looking for care for their loved ones.
I have put excellent on all counts but I have to because Glastonbury Court is doing a remarkable job in caring for my husband. Smiles and kind words from staff never fail. My husband settled in quickly and is doing really well. It is a pleasure to visit. It also feels like visiting a large family.

As soon as I returned from holiday I went to visit Dad and I was pleasantly surprised at his reaction to him being there.
He said the staff were all lovely and someone would go to the shop each day and get him a newspaper, he enjoyed the food and he liked the fact that he could stay in his room one day if he wanted but also go to the dining room if he preferred some company another day. His bed was comfy and his room was lovely and warm and my dad loves the heat.
He said he had enjoyed his time there and wasn't in a hurry to get home, he also said that if a time came when he couldn't be at home then he would like to go to Glastonbury Court.
Thank you for looking after him so well.
We are very pleased to hear that Dad enjoyed his stay with us, it was an absolute pleasure to meet him and would welcome him with open arms should he wish to stay again.
I cannot recommend Glastonbury Court Care Home enough. From the moment my Mum and I stepped through the doors, we both knew this was going to be the right choice for her. The staff went above and beyond to ensure Mum's move into Abbey Suite went as smoothly as could be. They took the time to get to...
Thank you Team Glastonbury- I’m so pleased we chose your home for Mum.
Many thanks the Care UK team.

My dad spent two weeks in here. Unfortunately, the only bedroom available was upstairs and Dad has dementia, but not too bad. The majority of the staff were superb, well done to everyone. Dad loved the staff very much downstairs but struggled to understand the staff upstairs (overseas staff). The food was great and every day the staff would assist Dad to go downstairs, which we all were very grateful for this. One night, one of the residents woke dad up looking around his room. I also asked for an alarm mat for the floor as Dad is at high risk of falls, but this never happened. There seemed to be loads of confusion with dad‘s medication, calling us to say they didn’t have some of his medications. These were all brought in with him, sealed boxes with all but one medication that was unavailable, which I brought in separately. The laundry service not satisfactory, lost some laundry and bed linen didn’t appear to be changed during his stay. Very clean everywhere though.
We are pleased to hear that your father had a pleasant experience with our staff on the ground floor during his respite stay with us, however we are disappointed to hear of the concerns you've expressed following his stay.

We are pleased to hear that your father had a pleasant experience with our staff on the ground floor during his respite stay with us, however we are disappointed to hear of the concerns you've expressed following his stay. Whilst residents are welcome to request their preferred room upon viewing, we cannot guarantee this room will be available once they are ready to move in. In each room we have an ATP (Assisted Technology Point) above the bed, which alerts the staff any time residents move throughout the day or night. The sensor can be directed to the sides of the bed or chair if necessary and allows the staff to respond quickly if it is activated. With every respite stay, it is the responsibility of the resident or family member to ensure they join us with enough medication to last the entirety of their stay. Where residents join us and do not have all the medication needed for their stay, the team will contact relatives to ensure this medication is brought in to meet the resident's needs.
The care my Mother is receiving has been amazing, the support, keeping us up to date, the kindness, nothing is too much. We all feel the love my Mum is getting helps us all. There are no battles to getting Mum's care right, it was all in place immediately when she arrived. Thank you, everyone.

The pleasant surroundings make it a pleasure to meet my friend for coffee and a chat. The ambience is cheerful with gorgeous gardens to brighten the soul. My only question has been over clothes and their mysterious disappearance, something which is common to many if not all Care Homes. If this could be improved my feeling is of somewhere that strives to make the residents valued as individuals and a considerable amount of effort going in to keep them well stimulated.

We are so pleased to hear your comments about the pleasant atmosphere at Glastonbury Court. As you mentioned, our team put a great deal of effort into ensuring every resident feels valued and able to live a meaningful and fulfilled lifestyle whilst at Glastonbury Court. Our housekeeping team encourage residents and relatives to label all items of clothing when bringing these into the home, handing them into reception to ensure they are kept track of. We hope that the delivery of our new labelling machine will make this easier for all.
Fantastic service and level of care. My Mum loves it there. There are lots of activities going on and the food is excellent. The staff are all very friendly and are very committed to the residents. They also arrange some lovely trips out.

When I wanted a fresh challenge, I thought I’d explore working for Care UK as I’d heard only positive things about its care ethos and support for its teams. I’m very pleased I did.
I’m passionate about providing the highest standards of care and working with the team to maintain Glastonbury Court’s ‘Outstanding’ CQC rating. Ours is a lovely home to live and work in, and it’s a huge privilege to work here and lead the team. We are always striving for each resident to have a meaningful lifestyle and to fulfil their dreams.
In this role, it’s important to be open and honest, a good listener, and to treat everyone equally. I enjoy seeing the residents, the team and residents’ families and having a chat and helping to resolve any worries they have.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, cycling, travelling abroad and soaking up the sun.
