Beechwood House Care Home

About Us

Beechwood House Care Home is in Yeovil, providing residential care for older people who can no longer manage comfortably at home. We are not a large setting and have no wish to be, because a smaller home means the team genuinely know the people who live here, their routines, their families and what makes a day go well or badly.

Our approach is straightforward. People keep their own habits, their own belongings and as much independence as they want. Some are up early and busy, others prefer a slow start and a quiet sitting room, and both are perfectly reasonable. Meals matter a good deal here, and so does the ordinary company of the house, so we put real effort into both.

Respite stays are available too, whether somebody needs care for a short period after illness or a family carer needs a genuine break. We plan short stays as carefully as a permanent move.

Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. That is reassuring, though the better test is whether people who live here seem settled and whether relatives feel able to raise something with us without worrying about how it will be taken. Please come and see us and judge for yourself.
