About La Fontana

La Fontana is a nursing home in Martock, Somerset. Being registered for nursing care means we can look after people whose health needs are more complex than a residential home can safely meet, with qualified nurses working alongside our care team throughout. We care for older adults with ongoing conditions, managing medication, nutrition, skin care, pain and comfort while helping with washing, dressing and moving about in a way that leaves people as independent as they can be. Dementia care is a substantial part of our work and rests on familiar staff, a settled routine and taking the time to learn what reassures each individual. We support residents living with mental health conditions, where a calm environment and early attention to changes matter greatly, and residents with physical disabilities, adapting how we assist so that dignity is not the price of safety. We also care for younger adults whose conditions require nursing support. Respite stays are available for families needing a planned break or extra support after a hospital discharge. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Families are welcome at any reasonable hour, and we would always rather hear a worry early.
