Needed a nursing home for mum and dad after the care home they were in could no longer meet their needs. Looked at three and settled on Lavender Court. They are part of the Somerset Care group, as was their previous care home. I was hoping LC was going to be as good and so far they have met all expectations. The staff are engaging, the homes is clean and well presented mum and dad like the food and are happy the manager is great and looks for solutions to some tricky situations. I know they are in safe hands.
