Care Homes in Yeovil

Yeovil, nestled in the South Somerset countryside, has a number of care homes that offer both comfort and high standards of care for older adults. With Yeovil District Hospital close by and reliable access to GP services and pharmacies, residents benefit from strong local medical support - particularly important for those with ongoing health needs or recovering after hospital discharge.

Many of Yeovil’s care homes focus on specialist services such as dementia care, including The Knoll, offering settings with clearly defined spaces, memory boxes, and staff trained in person-centred dementia support. Other homes have engaging reminiscence activities and safe garden access to help residents with memory loss feel secure and stimulated.

For those who need 24/7 clinical oversight - whether due to a neurological condition or complex medical needs - nursing care homes such as Sherborne House have professional nursing staff and tailored health plans. Some homes also offer short-term respite or rehabilitation care, especially useful for individuals leaving the hospital or when family carers need a break.

Luxury amenities are a big part of everyday life - think idyllic gardens, therapy rooms, beauty salons, comfortable lounges, light-filled conservatories, and quiet reading nooks. Meanwhile, couples looking to move into care together will find options in Yeovil that include double bedrooms or adjoining suites, as well as care packages that can be adapted to both partners' needs.
