I never fail to be impressed at Somer Valley and rate it excellent in all areas. All the staff have been helpful and understanding. It is a pleasure to visit. The home is designed so that you can easily walk around it and therefore take exercise, even on a rainy day. There are plenty of places to sit and have a coffee and a home made treat. It is great to see my mum being as independent as possible, with her own beautiful room, knowing that help is always at hand. The whole team are amazing.

Mum has only been in the home for 2 weeks but is settling in already. She didn't think she was ready to be in a home, but has soon realised how nice it is offering her everything she needs.

From my initial contact with Somer Valley I have felt that I have been listened to and that the care of my husband really mattered. The staff member on reception was bubbly and welcoming. Another staff member who visited us put my mind at rest and all the team have shown love, care and enthusiasm for their jobs. The residents really matter and individual needs are addressed. The care home is so clean, bright and airy and is a place residents can really call home.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are so pleased to hear our team assured you and your husband of our person centred care and that you feel we are a home from home.

We had to find some care for our Mother after she had a fall and spent some time in hospital. Our aunt was already at this facility and we decided to use the home for some respite care. Although she had to find alternative accommodation through the financial side of things, we were pleased to have used this care home for a short while as we knew she would be looked after well.
Thank you for your lovely comment. We are delighted that your mother enjoyed her stay with us and that you knew we would look after her well.
So far, since our mother moved here 2 weeks ago from her previous care home, her life is being transformed. Thank you Somer Valley so much.. it is a joy to see our mother come back to life and be given respect, conversation, good food , things to do and a reason to get up.

My mother who has Alzheimer's became a resident just three weeks ago. A major change for her, the transition has proven to be seamless. Staff/management have been superb in all aspects so far. Mother has settled in well and has begun to join in with other residents regards activities. We are therefore very happy with the progress thus far and would recommend the facility without reservation. Thus far!

The Home itself is new and stylish to the point of being luxurious. Mum's en-suite room is spacious, beautifully appointed and with an extremely comfortable bed. The daily menu is varied with good options and the food is of a high quality.
Most important of all though, each and every member of staff at Somer Valley House has just been so very friendly, kind, helpful and caring towards Mum which helped her settle in initially and which has since made her feel really safe and secure.
We are very grateful for, and appreciative of, everything that the lovely people at Somer Valley House have done for Mum since she moved in back in January 2025.

The best of this home is the staff by far, everyone I've met has had my dad's best interests at heart and they do an amazing job with him, I know how difficult he can be and nothing is too much trouble.

Born and raised in Somerset, Bruce began his career in horticulture after training at Radstock Tech and Cannington College. Working as a plantsman and landscaper at a local nursery before becoming the Head of Maintenance and Gardener at a 54-bed hotel.
In the mid-1980s, his career took a different direction when he decided to pursue a career as an HGV driver. Spending 30 years driving across the UK, Europe, and Africa, before a health scare in 2020 led me back to my roots in gardening and maintenance at a care home in Bath.
He lives locally with his partner, Vicky, and can often be found pottering in the garden at home or entertaining his six grandchildren. He is a National Trust members and love spending time exploring the local sites on leisurely strolls.
