My Auntie has been in Somerset House since August 2025.
From the first visit to look round we got a calm,relaxed and friendly feel for the home.
Everyone we came across acknowledged us.
Auntie,although a big and fairly quick change for her,settled well into her beautiful,light,airy room.
Despite
undergoing a major refurbishment the staff always seem to take it in their stride and now, with the work all finished , the home is now up to date ,with beautiful lounges and everywhere is clean and decorated to a high standard.
On visiting my Auntie, on average every two weeks, we have found every member of staff,kind,caring and friendly towards all the residents and visitors.
They always have time for a chat,nothing is too much trouble and there is always someone close by if needed.
My Auntie is clean, safe and well looked after .
We, as a family are more than happy with Somerset House and would recommend it to anyone looking for a care home.

Somerset Care Home is a fantastic place, and I feel privileged knowing that my mum is so well cared for. All the staff are always pleasant and very welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble, and I know that I can leave her without any worries.

Mum moved into Somerset house in September 2024, from the moment we walked through the door, before the alterations and modernisations, we knew it was the place for mum. It is homely, the staff are caring and professional and always keep us updated with changes in mums health. Everyone goes above
and beyond from care staff to chefs, cleaners and management. We could not not wish for better care for our mum

Mum was at Somerset House on a short respite stay. She was very happy during her time there. The staff were lovely, and very responsive to her needs. She was happy to come home, but has expressed a desire to return if needed in the future. Overall a very positive experience. Thank you.

My father has been at Somerset House Care & Nursing Home for several months, and the care has been great. The staff are kind, patient, and genuinely caring, always going the extra mile to make him comfortable and keep us informed.
The home is warm, clean, and welcoming, even though there are
on going improvements, with engaging activities that help residents stay active and happy. The nursing care is good - attentive, professional, and reassuring. It's clear the team truly care about every resident.
I'm deeply grateful for the compassion and dedication they show every day. Somerset House really does feel like a home for both residents and their families.

The staff at Somerset are a caring, kind and an attentive top down team. They are friendly,
open and welcoming each time I visit. They are interested in each of the residents and ask great questions to find the best ways of supporting people.... they even made welsh cakes for my mother on
discovering she was welsh and liked them... huge thank you for that.
Whilst there are areas of Somerset which might look a little tired, they are going through a huge programme of updating. My mums room is one of the new ones and it is fabulous, light and airy with an en suite bathroom which is perfect for her needs.
They have been very supportive of my mum, as it has taken a while for her to settle in the new environment and they understand the needs and challenges of people with dementia.
Thank you for all that you have done

My brother-in-law has been a resident of Somerset House for 18 months. I have been impressed with the management and staff who are friendly but also professional. The housekeeping is good and the food is appreciated by my brother-in-law. His clothes are laundered daily. Whilst he was very
independent and reluctant to leave his house he appreciates the quality of care he receives. My wife is kept fully informed by the care home staff.

The staff at Somerset House provide a consistent, very caring and attentive quality to the home. One of it's many strengths is that there is not a high turnover of personnel and the home does not use bank staff, this ensures that care is personalised and faces are familiar which is so important,
both to residents and relatives.
