About Us

We are a residential care home in Radstock, providing a home for older people who need help with daily life but who do not require nursing care.

We are not a large place and we do not try to run like one. Residents have their own rooms with their own belongings, get up and go to bed when they choose and decide how they want to spend their days. Meals are cooked here and we pay attention when somebody tells us they would rather have something different. A great deal of what makes a care home worth living in is small and unglamorous: being helped to wash without being rushed, a hot drink at the time you actually want it, somebody noticing that you have gone quiet.

Family and friends are welcome whenever they would like to come. We would always rather a relative told us straight away when something is not right than waited for a formal moment to raise it.

We also offer respite stays, which can give a relative who provides care at home a proper break, or help someone regain their confidence after an illness.

Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. If you are considering a home for yourself or someone in your family, do come and look round. We will answer your questions honestly, including about what we are not able to provide.
