About Sherborne House Care Home

Sherborne House Care Home is a nursing home in Yeovil, caring for older people and younger adults whose health needs call for qualified nursing alongside everyday support. Having nurses here means we can look after people through complex and changing health needs without another move becoming necessary, and it means we can respond quickly when something alters. What makes that work in practice, though, is knowing the person. A change in appetite, mood or colour is only noticed by someone who knows what usual looks like, so continuity of staff is something we take seriously. Dementia care is a large part of our work. We keep the pace unhurried, hold routines steady, and give people time to say what they mean. Where somebody is anxious or distressed, we look for the reason rather than the label, and we ask families to share the history that helps us understand. We work closely with GPs, district nurses and hospital teams, and we would rather ask for advice too early than too late. Relatives are welcome here and we would far rather hear their concerns directly. Respite and short stays are available, including for recovery after a hospital admission or to give a family carer a planned break. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and see us if you are weighing up nursing care for someone.
