My 90 year old mother has recently completed a 28 day respite stay here.
The care has been exceptional.
Nothing has been too much trouble.
Being of the older generation, mum improved from feeling very poorly, post a shoulder replacement, to independently making her bed and walking around.
She has
been encouraged and supported by a variety of members of staff.
The staff were all welcoming and friendly, no matter how busy they were.
Taxi's were ordered to take mum to post surgery appointments and a private lunch organised when she had some special visitors.
On the day she left, she walked confidently, looked well rested and was eager to get back to her own flat.
Thank you.

A lovely environment for my mum. Beautiful light and spacious rooms, well thought-out communal areas and outside spaces. Great food and choices. Staff are always smiling, very friendly and helpful. They are also very attentive and respectful. Very satisfied and happy with our choice of care home.

My mother is a very private person and has been very independent her whole life. My father passed away in 2024 and unfortunately in 2025 the care home which my parents were in had closed. With having to move to a new care provider and being on her own mum has become very depressed and feels alone in
a strange environment, which has caused her to almost retract into herself. I think mum could do with some sort of therapy. I feel mum has decided she hasn't a place in this world or a reason to live and feels the guilt of my fathers passing is the reason not to accept she is still living. I am hoping for assistance finding help with getting a result to resolve this situation.

My sister had a respite stay at this home last summer and has now returned to them for a permanent stay. This home is a breath of fresh air with a lovely atmosphere from the minute you walk through the door. The care team are wonderful, my sister is well fed, well looked after and treated with the
upmost dignity. They also make me feel very welcome on every visit and I'm always offered drinks and cakes and the option to join her in the activities or join her to enjoy the entertainment. I cannot thank them enough.

The home is like a hotel and the staff are all friendly and welcoming. Dad has settled very well.

After my mother returned home from a hip replacement, we were unfortunately faced with a flood in her property. It was a traumatic time, and she urgently needed alternative accommodation, as she wasn't able to manage on her own.
Until then, I hadn't really considered a care home for short-term
respite - but discovering Sommer Valley House changed everything.
From the very first introduction, led by Emma, the support we received (alongside her home insurance and some self-funding) was exceptional. The team took the time to understand my mother's personality and needs, and tailored her stay perfectly.
The staff at Sommer Valley House - too many to name individually - were outstanding. Emma's guidance and genuine care stood out, and the entire team created a warm, supportive environment within a truly state-of-the-art facility.
Thank you for giving my mother such a positive and memorable experience. She has already said she would love to return for regular day visits.

Emma and the team were fantastic and made Mum feel very at home on arrival.
The facilities are excellent and the home is carefully designed to give plenty of space and light.
The rooms have everything required to ensure a comfortable stay.
I would recommend a visit if you are thinking of a place
to send a loved one.

The care that our Aunt has received in the little over year that she has been with you is second to none. Nothing is ever too much trouble and we have complete peace of mind that she is definitely in the right place and so well cared for. We feel like Somer Valley is really a family and the amazing
staff treat her like one of their family members. We would not hesitate in recommending Somer Valley to anyone looking into care for their loved one.

I never fail to be impressed at Somer Valley and rate it excellent in all areas. All the staff have been helpful and understanding. It is a pleasure to visit. The home is designed so that you can easily walk around it and therefore take exercise, even on a rainy day. There are plenty of places to
sit and have a coffee and a home made treat. It is great to see my mum being as independent as possible, with her own beautiful room, knowing that help is always at hand. The whole team are amazing.

Mum has only been in the home for 2 weeks but is settling in already. She didn't think she was ready to be in a home, but has soon realised how nice it is offering her everything she needs. Hopefully she will get to know other residents over the coming months. The staff are all fantastic, friendly
and helpful. I couldn't be happier with the whole experience so far.

We always have a good welcome when we visit. Our friends are happy and well looked after. they are in a much better situation since they moved to the home. They are clean and well cared for. They are happy which is a great relief.

Excellent attention to detail. Staff are always very attentive to the residents and their needs. Food is always very well cooked, well presented and tasty and varied. Overall, extremely pleased with the care home.
21 January 2026
Generally a positive experience, staff very welcoming, home well cared for and clean. Occasional lapses in communication between staff noted regarding residents' condition, senior carers appear knowledgeable and capable. Overall observation is of a pleasant, warm and caring environment.

This is a lovely spacious clean home which smells homely and clean. The bedroom is so clean and attractive with a personalised door name. The bedroom is spacious too. But the best thing is the very caring and friendly staff who are so nice and kind.

From my initial contact with Somer Valley I have felt that I have been listened to and that the care of my husband really mattered. The staff member on reception was bubbly and welcoming. Another staff member who visited us put my mind at rest and all the team have shown love, care and enthusiasm
for their jobs. The residents really matter and individual needs are addressed. The care home is so clean, bright and airy and is a place residents can really call home.
18 August 2025
I have found the home, on every visit, which is 2 or 3 times a week to be spotless and immaculate. Staff, especially front of home, to be well presented, very helpful, polite, helpful, honest and kind to my dad, other residents and visitors. Food and drink is high quality and plentiful. Activities
are enjoyed and varied. Well done Oyster.

We had to find some care for our Mother after she had a fall and spent some time in hospital. Our aunt was already at this facility and we decided to use the home for some respite care. Although she had to find alternative accommodation through the financial side of things, we were pleased to have
used this care home for a short while as we knew she would be looked after well.
21 May 2025
So far, since our mother moved here 2 weeks ago from her previous care home, her life is being transformed. Thank you Somer Valley so much.. it is a joy to see our mother come back to life and be given respect, conversation, good food , things to do and a reason to get up.

My mother who has Alzheimer's became a resident just three weeks ago. A major change for her, the transition has proven to be seamless. Staff/management have been superb in all aspects so far. Mother has settled in well and has begun to join in with other residents regards activities. We are
therefore very happy with the progress thus far and would recommend the facility without reservation. Thus far!
04 April 2025
Our family cannot praise Somer Valley House highly enough.
The Home itself is new and stylish to the point of being luxurious. Mum's en-suite room is spacious, beautifully appointed and with an extremely comfortable bed. The daily menu is varied with good options and the food is of a high quality.
Most important of all though, each and every member of staff at Somer Valley House has just been so very friendly, kind, helpful and caring towards Mum which helped her settle in initially and which has since made her feel really safe and secure.
We are very grateful for, and appreciative of, everything that the lovely people at Somer Valley House have done for Mum since she moved in back in January 2025.
