Today I spoke with the manager about a few issues and found her to be very approachable and friendly. She answered all my queries satisfactorily. One of my concerns was the scaffolding in particular around the courtyard, meaning no access for several months, whilst the weather is good. I was reassured this area will be completed first to allow residents access as soon as possible.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a lovely review for the day care visits your Mum enjoys at Lavender Court. It is wonderful to see her happy and relaxed during her visits.
My aunt moved into Lavender Court 1 year ago. She has settled in well and seems happy. We are so pleased she is here. For the first time in years we are confident that she is being well looked after, safe and and happy this is a great relief for us.

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback for Lavender Court. To hear that your aunt is settled and happy, and that her family are reassured of her care and safety, means the world to us.
The only flaw was being falsely told that LC would accept adult social care funding but in reality, it was not. Mum would have still been there otherwise, along with the friends that she had made.
I cannot fault the care and attention Mum had.

My husband moved from a previous care home to Lavender Court on 11th June he died there on 23rd July. The premises were always spotless and the staff were most considerate. If I have a complaint it is that there is not sufficient staff. When my husband was critically ill it did seem an age for help to arrive. Remembering those weeks he was there I recall, his room was facing properties on Roman Road and often we had to close the curtains and put the lights on as we were overlooked by people opposite.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback for Lavender Court, and for entrusting your husband into our care. We will share your kind words about the care staff and premises with our team. If you would like to discuss any aspect of your husband's time at Lavender Court with us, we warmly invite you to contact the team directly, who will be very happy to speak with you.
We have experience of two Somerset care homes and this is by far the better of the two - 100% recommend.

The care my brother received was excellent, all staff made mine and my brother's stay as pleasant as it could be. My brother enjoyed talking to the staff and it was clear to see how much the staff cared.

My husband has been a resident since May 2020. He was very poorly and had three nurses each day who were helping me to care for him when I became ill. Because of the excellent care he has received, he is still alive. We were told in April he would not survive! My only frustration are the awful communications. Not able to get through on the telephone, unreliable social media connections and no updates on medical issues. Also no record of his pocket money status and when he needed a top-up until recently.

My father has dementia he struggles with change, new faces etc. We had to put him into Lavender Court to provide respite for my mother who has lung cancer. The team at Lavender Court are incredible and has really made dad welcome. Everyone we have had contact with from the lady in finance to the day and night staff they have all been so supportive and helped make what is a really difficult time for our family much easier. To know dad is safe and well looked after and happy makes such a difference.

I was a bit apprehensive about the standard of care in Lavender Court purely due to so much bad press about rogue care homes. I found all members of staff kind, helpful, respectful and knowledgeable. My friend has just passed away this morning. She had a small close family but died with the loving company of a carer and one of your nurses. I spent a night with you and was well looked after. The carers have such good humoured and loving motivation. I would be happy to recommend your care home to anyone.

She is very happy and comfortable and on her and my behalf I am so glad I chose this care home for her. Thank you so much office and management. Together with activities, cleaning staff and food providers. Well done all of you.
My husband has been in the Rose room for three weeks. He is full of praise for his carers, who he calls the blue angels. They are infinitely patient and very caring and always treat them with dignity. They always treat me with the utmost kindness. I have become very fond of them all.

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.
