About Somerset House Nursing Home
Somerset House Nursing Home provides residential, nursing and dementia care for older people, with its registered scope also covering physical disabilities and younger adults. The home’s wider care model includes person-centred care plans, regular reviews and family involvement as needs change.
Dementia support is delivered across the care team, with activities such as reminiscing, gardening and baking used to support wellbeing. The home also offers respite care, while its care planning process involves families in decisions about ongoing support. This makes Somerset House relevant to people needing either residential accommodation or nursing input within a structured care setting.
