About Lavender Court
Lavender Court is a nursing home in Taunton, Somerset. We care for older people and younger adults whose needs include nursing, including many living with dementia, and we offer respite stays. Nursing on site means somebody's declining health is not another upheaval. They stay in the place they know, with the staff they know, which is what most families are really asking about when they ring. The part that takes deliberate effort is keeping the place from feeling medical. People here are residents rather than patients, and the day should reflect that: meals they want, getting outside, prompt help, privacy, and being spoken to as somebody with a working life and a family. Something else we work at is how we talk to relatives. Families of somebody in a nursing home often feel informed rather than involved, and they usually know things no assessment captures. So we ask, and we ring with small news rather than letting it be discovered on a visit. Our overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Ask us what we got wrong in the last year, and we will tell you.
