Welcome to Frethey House

Frethey House is set in a delightful rural location just to the west of Taunton, with two acres of beautiful gardens to explore, plus an in-house hair salon, relaxing lounges and a range of daily activities. Residents enjoy peace and quiet, as well as stunning countryside views. We make the most of our location to get out and about in Somerset, visiting local attractions, enjoying a pub lunch or having tea in one of the cafes in Taunton. The gardens are a popular spot with residents on warmer days where green-fingered residents are welcome to help us keep everything looking good, or to simply sit on the terrace with a cup of tea and watch the visiting wildlife.

Keeping Things Personal

The wonderful surroundings at Frethey House are matched by the standard of care our team brings residents. We love learning as much as we can about the people we care for, so your loved one’s time is tailored to their individual needs, interests and preferences. This can be as small as knowing when they like to wake up, to how they like their tea, and everything in between.

We give as much independence as possible, letting individuals choose how to run the home and if they prefer dinner in front of the TV, or even dusting their own room, we’ll make it happen. Just as putting their own stamp on their bedroom, we’ll help them to personalise it with the things they love.

Testimonials

The staff showed great support and compassion at the end too. I do not think Mum could have been in a better place for her last weeks.

David B - Son of resident, Frethey House

I cannot recommend them enough for the kindness and dignity afforded to him when there was little hope of recovery.

Lynne K - Sister of resident, Frethey House

The staff treated her with unfailing kindness, respect and compassion. I could not have asked for a better nursing home for her.

    • Katherine Stephens
      Katherine Stephens Home Manager

      As a Home Manager I enjoy the variety and challenges each day brings. I enjoy spending time with our residents and their relatives and understand just how important each of our residents is to their friends and families. I truly believe that good quality care is only achieved in working collaboratively with residents, their families and fellow healthcare professionals.

      I have a real passion for baking and feel like I have made a difference to the residents, baking different cakes for them to try. It is important I get to know the residents, so that I serve food they love and enjoy.

    • Nicki Dennett Frethey Wellbeing3
      Nicki Dennett Wellbeing Co-ordinator

      I am passionate about getting to know each resident and their family, so activities are person-centred. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing a resident engage and enjoy an activity you host, no matter what their ability.

FAQs

Do I need to book a viewing?

You should be able to visit a home at any time – we advise visiting more than once and at different times, so that you can get a clearer understanding of what it is like throughout the day. If you wish to meet the Home Manager during your visit, you might want to consider booking in advance to help ensure they are available when you attend. You can book a viewing using the form above or by calling the home.

Who decides on the menu?

Our Head Chef and the team have many years of cooking experience. They craft their nutritionally balanced menus using seasonal produce, and are guided by the feedback provided to them from our residents during their monthly hospitality meetings and individual care plans.

What qualifications do your care team have?

All members of our care teams are given the training and support needed to help them provide the highest standards of care.

Caring Homes has been providing care for over 25 years. Every team member receives our unique ‘Living in my World’ dementia training which is accredited by City and Guilds.

It highlights the importance of meaningful activities and a stimulating environment for people living with dementia, as well as addressing clinical aspects of care.

The ‘Food in my World’ training, also accredited by City and Guilds provides the hospitality team and chefs with the skills and knowledge to stimulate senses and increase creativity in the cooking and presentation of food. This can provide a much-improved dining experience for residents living with dementia and or dysphagia.

How long can people stay in a care home for?

The length of time people spend in a care home varies according to their needs and preferences. Our homes offer permanent care to suit your needs or perhaps a respite stay might be required during a period of convalescence after being in hospital. Day Care is also available at many homes to ensure care can continue when a regular carer is unavailable.
