About Aspen Court
Here at Aspen Court, we provide nursing home care in the heart of Taunton, Somerset, and we take real pride in the community we have built within these walls. Our home is a place where older people are genuinely known as individuals, where staff take the time to understand what matters to each person and work hard to honour that every day. We specialise in Older Person Care, Nursing Care, Dementia Care and Respite Care, which means we are able to support a wide range of needs under one roof. Whether someone comes to us for a short stay to recover after a hospital admission or they make Aspen Court their permanent home, we aim to make that experience feel as comfortable and familiar as possible. For those living with dementia, we understand how important consistency and calm surroundings are, and we shape our approach around what helps each person feel safe and settled. Our nursing team works closely with residents, families and visiting healthcare professionals to make sure that medical needs are met promptly and with care. We believe that good nursing goes hand in hand with warmth and humanity, and that is something we work to maintain each day. We are pleased that our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection rated us as Good. We see that as encouragement to keep building on what we do well, rather than a reason to stand still. Families are always welcome at Aspen Court and we encourage people to be as involved in their loved one's life here as they would like to be. If you are considering care for yourself or someone close to you, we would be glad to have a conversation and show you around so you can get a proper feel for who we are.
