About Croft House
Croft House is a residential care home in Williton, offering support to older people, to younger adults, and to those living with dementia. We are in a quiet part of Somerset and the pace of the house reflects that. There is time here, and time turns out to be the thing that most affects whether care feels good or not. Dementia support is a large part of what we do, and we approach it by working with the person rather than correcting them. If someone is living in an earlier part of their life, we meet them there. We learn the histories, the working lives, the names that matter and the songs that land, and we use them. Familiarity does more for someone's wellbeing than almost anything we could add. For our older residents more generally, the aim is a comfortable and sociable life with the right amount of practical help. People sit where they like, keep their own routines, and see visitors whenever they wish. Meals are proper meals and mealtimes are unhurried. We also take respite bookings. A planned short stay gives a family carer a genuine rest, and it gives us the chance to get to know someone properly in case a longer stay is ever needed. The Care Quality Commission most recently rated us Good overall. We keep looking at where we can do better, and the people who live here and their families are the first place we ask. You are very welcome to visit and see how the house feels.
