The activities team are great and try their best to create activities suitable for all. They listen to what the residents want and try to cater for them.
The food and drink is good, and the chefs are accommodating to special requests.
I feel very safe here. The permanent care staff are superb and definitely 5 star, unfortunately there have been a lot of agency carers who have been more of a mixed bag. Everyone is trying their best, but it has caused a few hiccups. The management team are absolutely incredible and I cannot fault them in any way!

Thank you for taking the time to share a review for your recent respite stay at Lavender Court in Taunton. We are so pleased to read that you enjoyed the food, drink and activities, and will share your compliments with the team. Thanks also for your observations, which we have taken on board. Whilst Lavender Court does not have fixed ceiling track hoists, our team use mobile hoists to support those in our care, wherever they are in the home. We do sometimes work with regular agency carers to cover staff holiday. These carers are supported to get to know our home and our residents, so that our residents receive the same high quality of care, whoever is supporting them.Kind regards,

From the very first call enquiring about emergency respite care, to the day of discharge some 4-6 weeks later, the support and care given to all the family can be summed up in one word - amazing. In the short time that Mum resided at Lavender Court, the improvement in her general health and well-being was evident within a few days. All of the staff are incredible people and not only ensured that she was afforded the highest level of support - also made sure we were all ok too! I genuinely cannot find anything to criticise.

Staff were polite, attentive and caring. My mums dignity was respected at all times. Their communication with myself was excellent through out my mum's stay. The building itself was kept to a high standard and the facilities were great should my mum have chose to use them.

It is lovely for us as a family to be able to go home, not have to worry if she will be okay, because the care is more than we could have hoped for.

I have been made to feel very welcome when I got here and was very well informed of facilities, activities and a food menu available to me and for my family when they visited. I was pleased to find how comfortable my room and shower facilities have been.

Found the home to be excellent treating my mother with dignity and compassion. The best review I can give is my mother spoke highly of all staff and how she was treated in what would have been difficult circumstances for her.

Lavender has a dedicated, caring and happy team who thrive on their dedication to their job roles and to care for our residents. We have a very friendly environment and do our best to always make you feel welcome.
Lavender Court has a lovely open courtyard area, which can be used at any time by residents, along with other outside garden areas, and we enjoy hosting some brilliant events in this space. The home is situated next door to a Lidl and very close to pubs, takeaways and Taunton town centre – our residents and their relatives make good use of these facilities.
We have a team of four activity coordinators who are so enthusiastic about ensuring we have lots of activities available at Lavender Court, along with outsourced entertainers and theatre productions. We also try and accommodate as many outings as possible to garden centres, cafes, going into town, walks around Hamilton Park and going to events such as the Taunton Flower Show.
I feel very proud and grateful to be the Manager of Lavender Court.
