About Quantock House

Quantock House is a residential care home in Weston super Mare. We support older people and younger adults, including adults with a learning disability or autism, people with physical disabilities and people living with sight or hearing loss. We offer respite stays alongside permanent places. Supporting people of different ages and with different needs under one roof only works if the plan really does belong to the individual. Before someone moves in we spend time finding out how they like to live, what they manage for themselves, what they find difficult and what they want from us. That becomes the plan and we review it when things change rather than at a set interval. People here keep their own belongings, run their own routines as far as they are able, and are supported to get out locally, to see family and friends and to carry on with whatever they enjoy. Where someone communicates differently, we learn how, and we make sure the whole staff team does the same so that support feels consistent. Sensory loss makes everything else harder, so we pay attention to hearing aids and glasses, to lighting and to giving people the time they need. Our overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are looking at residential care or respite in North Somerset, please contact us and arrange to come and look round.
