About Eastleigh Care Homes
Eastleigh Care Homes in Minehead is a nursing home on the edge of Exmoor in Somerset. We care for adults with a wide range of needs, including older people, people living with dementia, adults with a learning disability, autistic adults, people living with mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities, people with a visual or hearing impairment and younger adults. Having registered nurses on duty at any hour is what allows us to support people whose needs are genuinely complex. It covers medication, skin and pressure care, continence and nutrition, and the steady monitoring that catches a change while it is still small. Where somebody is nearing the end of their life, it means they can stay somewhere familiar with people who know them. Supporting such a mixed group takes real planning. A younger adult with a learning disability and an older resident living with dementia want very different things from a week, and support here is built around the individual rather than around a single routine. Minehead and the moor behind it are a good place to be, and we help people get out into it where they want to go. Respite and short stays are available. Please ring us if you would like to look round.
