About The Cyder Barn

The Cyder Barn is a residential care home in Glastonbury. We support older people, including those living with dementia and those whose physical disability means they need help to move about safely, and we also support younger adults. The care we give is practical and personal: help with washing and dressing, medication managed properly, meals prepared on the premises, and support to keep doing the things that matter, whether that is a walk, a regular visit from family or a particular programme on the television. We keep routines familiar for residents living with dementia, and we take the time that safe, comfortable moving and handling actually requires. We will be honest about our standing. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We have been working through the points raised, particularly around documentation, staff supervision and consistency of care planning, and we would encourage anyone considering the home to ask us about that directly rather than take our word for it. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. Glastonbury and the surrounding villages are where most of our families come from and visitors are welcome at any reasonable hour. Please ring if you would like to look round and meet the team.
