About St Benedicts Nursing Home
Here at St Benedicts Nursing Home, we are proud to be a trusted part of the Glastonbury community in the heart of Somerset. We provide nursing home care for older people and work hard every day to make sure each person who lives with us feels genuinely at home, respected and well looked after. Our team is experienced in a wide range of specialist areas, including dementia care, nursing care, and support for people living with physical disabilities or visual and hearing impairments. We also offer respite care for those who need short term support, whether that is to give a family carer a well earned break or to help someone recover after a period of illness. Whatever brings someone to us, we take the time to get to know them properly and to understand what matters most to them in their daily life. We believe that good care is built on honest relationships. Residents, families and our staff all have a voice here, and we think that openness makes us a better place to live and to work. We take feedback seriously and we are always looking at ways to improve. We are pleased that our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission resulted in an overall rating of Good. This reflects the effort and commitment that our whole team brings to their work each day, and we see it as encouragement to keep raising the bar rather than a reason to stand still. If you are considering St Benedicts for yourself or for a loved one, we would warmly encourage you to come and visit us. Glastonbury is a special place, and we think St Benedicts reflects the warmth and character of this town. We would love to show you around and answer any questions you might have.
