About Chestnut Lodge
Chestnut Lodge provides residential and nursing care for older people, including those living with dementia, mental health needs or physical disabilities. Its registration also covers younger adults, giving families a setting for more complex support needs.
The home was refurbished before opening in 2023 and places bedrooms around a central courtyard garden. Residents have access to lounges, shared spaces and activities such as music, singing and reminiscence sessions. The home’s person-centred approach focuses on understanding each resident’s history, interests and daily preferences, while single en-suite bedrooms support privacy and personal routines. Bedrooms are arranged around a central courtyard garden.

Questions families ask
When was Chestnut Lodge refurbished?
Chestnut Lodge was fully refurbished before it opened in 2023.
Does Chestnut Lodge provide nursing and dementia care?
Yes. Chestnut Lodge offers nursing care, dementia care and accommodation.
How much does Chestnut Lodge cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Chestnut Lodge 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.
