Questions families ask
Do they offer short-term or step-down care?
Yes. They offer step-down care and short-term stays, alongside residential, nursing and dementia care.
How is the care home arranged?
The home is arranged around three smaller households, each with its own kitchenette, lounge and dining room to support independence and everyday living.
What food and menus do residents receive?
Menus follow a four-week cycle, with seasonal dishes, familiar favourites and plenty of choice throughout the month.
How do they decide which household suits a resident?
They get to know each person and understand their physical, emotional and cognitive needs before identifying the household where they are most likely to feel at home.
How much does Catherine House Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Catherine House Care Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Somerset council paid on average £1,082 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
