About Ellsworth House
We at Ellsworth House offer residential care in the welcoming town of Radstock, providing a true home from home for older people and younger adults who need thoughtful, person centred support. Nestled within the Bath and North East Somerset community, our care home is a place where residents feel valued, safe, and genuinely at ease. Our setting in the BA postcode area places us within easy reach of the surrounding Somerset countryside and the amenities of Radstock itself, offering families the reassurance of a location that feels connected yet peaceful. The wider region enjoys a gentle pace of life, and our home reflects that same calm atmosphere, giving residents a comfortable environment in which to enjoy each day. Our specialisms span older person care, general residential care, support for adults living with a learning disability or autism, care for younger adults, and short stay respite care. This breadth means we understand that no two people arrive with the same story or the same needs. For an older resident, this may mean gentle daily support that preserves independence and dignity whilst offering companionship and reassurance. For a younger adult, or someone living with a learning disability or autism, it means care shaped around personal routines, interests, and communication preferences, helping each individual live a life that feels genuinely their own. Our respite care offers families a trusted place to turn to when a loved one needs a short stay, whether that be to support recovery, to allow a family carer some well earned rest, or simply to give someone the chance to try residential living in a supportive setting. In practice, our approach is built around listening. We take time to understand each resident as a person first, learning what brings them comfort, what interests them, and how they like to spend their time. Families are welcomed as partners in care, and we work openly with relatives to make sure the support we provide reflects what matters most to the person in our care. Our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection, carried out in April 2020, awarded us an overall rating of Good. We were rated Good across the Effective, Caring, Responsive, and Well led domains, reflecting the compassion and professionalism our team brings to daily life at the home. The Safe domain was rated Requires Improvement, and we take that feedback seriously as a spur to keep strengthening every aspect of our practice. We believe honest reflection is part of good care, and we are committed to continuing improvement so that every resident feels as secure as they are supported. Choosing a care home is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we understand the care and consideration that goes into it. If you are exploring options for a loved one in Radstock or the wider Bath and North East Somerset area, we warmly invite you to get in touch with Ellsworth House. We would be delighted to answer your questions, share more about our approach, and help you feel confident that you are making the right choice for the person you love.
