This has been a 'life-saver' holiday for me After a replacement knee (& being a widow living alone) I found the care, accommodation & general ethos of the home 'really' helpful. With no appetite when I came in & the worry of how to cope with every day needs pressing on me - the court dispelled it all. My very grateful thanks!

My mother has Alzheimers and we were able to find a Mews Bungalow at Nynehead where she has been able to continue having independence while having all the support and benefits of living within a caring community. I can't thank the Nynehead team enough for the amazing job they are doing. They have been caring and compassionate throughout and we have felt part of family not just a resident. As my mothers' care requirements have increased we have worked very closely with the Nynehead care team and they have been fantastic and so incredibly supportive. It is such a wonderful environment and with all the activities and friendly staff I know my mother is very happy and safe at Nynehead.

We just wanted to say a special thanks for the excellent service and support from the manager and the team at Nynehead for a short respite break for my 91 year old mother whilst visiting Somerset. Very flexible and understanding of her needs - thank you

My mum was resident at Nynehead Court for a total of 9 years. She was initially more able and joined in the activities in the main house, and as her needs increased, she moved into the Mulberry Wing. My mum always said that she felt content at Nynehead Court. Living there was her choice. She especially enjoyed the musical activities that related to her preferred types of music, such as the sessions run by one of the visiting music facilitators. In terms of standards of care, my mum received the care that was stipulated in her care plan. I was able to contribute as well, such as by giving my mum a manicure, and feeding her when she was unable to do this herself. I was able to access her care plan and so I was up to date with any medical consultations she had. My mum never needed hospitalisation during her time at Nynehead Court, and was able to remain there until she passed away.

This was my husband's second stay for respite care. He was treated with the utmost respect and kindness and welcomed back. The attention and care he received were second to none. Enabling me to have a restful break visiting family. He especially enjoyed the Chinese New Year banquet organised by the chef and staff.

My mother has been a resident of Nynehead Court for over two years now. She is so content here and really does consider it to be her home rather than 'being in a home'. She has nothing but praise for the staff who are kind and respectful - because of the low turnover of staff, she has made meaningful relationships with them. The food is another area she rates highly because there is plenty of choice and the chef is responsive to her likes and dislikes. She looks forward to making her choices and to the meals arriving. It is so reassuring to us as a family that she is eating well. Mum enjoys some of the activities and appreciates the efforts made by the staff and notices the kindness shown to other residents. She is not pressured into 'joining in' when she doesn't want to. It was lovely at Christmas to join her for carols in the drawing room, which was beautifully decorated, with the Wellington Silver Band leading the singing. The gardens are an added pleasure. Thanks to all.

My father has been a resident at Nynehead since August 2023. He is very much part of an extended family. My father is able to take part in all the external activities and has enjoyed the Remembrance parade, ballet, carol concert, and regular days out. All the staff treat him with respect, and their fondness for him is palpable. The staff regularly contact us regarding his ongoing medical and mental needs to ensure his ongoing care is shared as appropriate. In précis, my brothers and I truly believe that Nynehead is the best home available and the best place for our father.

Both staff and food are first class. As was the level of care and attention to detail.

As daughter of a long standing resident I have interacted with many members of the care team. I found them to be very understanding of my father's condition and needs and helpful in suggestions of how best to address those needs. Staff are friendly, polite and engage with residents throughout the day. While he was mobile staff kept an eye on his walks around the garden, monitoring exit and return. Once he was confined to his room staff visited regularly to monitor him, but in a very subtle way - housekeeping staff come in to clean or collect or return laundry, senior carers come in with medication, regular tea/coffee delivery means another person popping in for a chat. The home itself is in good condition, with the exception of the lift which is on its last legs. The quality of the food is good. Periodic resident meetings, to which family are invited provide opportunity for feedback. The management are always willing to discuss and resolve any issues.

My ninety-two-year-old mother has been a resident of Nynehead Court for four years. She has loved her time there, not least because of skilled and compassionate care from the staff. Her relationship with Nynehead was put to the test earlier this year after she had a stroke. She spent weeks in a local hospital and then a residential rehab unit. Because of her frailty, there was a debate over whether she should be discharged back to Nynehead or to a nursing home. We wanted Mum to return to Nynehead where she could be surrounded by familiar and friendly faces. We are so grateful that Nynehead supported us and worked diligently with NHS representatives to ensure that she would receive proper and appropriate post-stroke care. Nynehead didn't need to do this, they could have allowed Mum to be sent to a nursing home. But the senior management recognized their responsibility to their resident. Now Mum is receiving wonderful and quite labor-intensive care at Nynehead Court.

A tranquil setting with magnificent grounds. My mother has been made to feel at home from the beginning of her stay and welcomed into the Nynehead family. The staff are very aware of her needs, and embrace, and encourage her interests. Her room is spotlessly clean as well as comfortably furnished. I highly recommend all that Nynehead Court offers my mum.

I have been to look around quite a few care homes recently. This is the first that has been professional but caring without being too clinical. I needed somewhere that Dad would feel like he was having a break/holiday rather than feeling he was being placed in a hospital environment. Here he has good company, stimulation and was treated with care and respect.

The staff at Nynehead Court are simply wonderful. They are lively, caring and always interested in my mother. My mother is well fed and happy and content. She is encouraged to join in many activities which she enjoys. She seems much more well since she has been at Nynehead. The staff are also very supportive to the family as it is a difficult step moving mother to a care home. Nynehead Court is an excellent choice.

Sometimes I feel the food could be better presented, and at times, the meat is too chunky and a bit off-putting. At this stage of life, meals are very important. The staff are cheerful and kind. Overall, there is a lovely atmosphere, and the activities ladies do a wonderful job, which really provides positivity for the residents.

Mum has been at Nynehead Court for seven months and has settled in really well. All the staff are so kind, caring and understanding. Despite numerous Covid lockdowns, they always remained so cheerful and positive and continues to provide great activities. It was a difficult decision to move mum from her flat to Nynehead Court, but after seven months, as a family, we are sure we made the right decision as mum has benefited so much from the companionship of the other residents and the care of the staff.
17 March 2022
I can say hand on heart the team at Nynehead Court are remarkable. My mother hates having to be in a residential home, yet the care and attention she gets makes her life bearable - even joyful at times. Even through lockdown, the care has been unfaltering. I have only experienced the highest standard of care for my mother.
17 March 2022
My now 98-year-old aunt moved into Nynehead Court in November 2019 and settled in well before the pandemic. Nynehead Court has been exceptional in their care during the last incredibly difficult two years, They have communicated well with relatives, been efficient and good-humoured throughout. I highly recommend them.

Mum moved to Nynehead Court four weeks ago. She has settled there really well, and we are very impressed by the quality of the care in all respects and by the management of the home.

My mother's been at Nynehead for several months, and we've been very pleased with the care and professionalism of the staff. The facilities and garden are excellent, and the activities organised have been appreciated by her.

My mother and father and now an auntie have been residents in this home on and off since 2008. Mother having a four years stay and passing away peacefully at this home. The staff are so caring, polite and welcoming; many having been there for many years, a true sign of a contented family environment. There is nothing more pleasant when visiting to be welcome by name. Rooms are airy, cleaned regularly, and residents looked in upon many times during the day. Feels like a little community.
