Our Care Services

Every person’s care needs are unique, which is why we take time to understand not just what support each resident needs, but how they prefer to receive it. Our experienced team provides both residential and nursing care, tailored to individual needs:

Premium Physiotherapy Packages

We understand that maintaining mobility and independence is of the utmost importance for our Residents’ well-being. At Somerhill, our Residents have the option to purchase a Premium Physiotherapy Package with one of our Cedar Care Physiotherapists. All of our physiotherapists have previously worked as care assistants, giving them the ability to navigate the challenges associated with helping those in their later years to get back to their best. They have a genuine passion for caring for the elderly and vulnerable, and are keen to help Residents to maintain their independence or regain motor skills where they can. We know that starting a new service can be daunting, especially when it is focused on physical activity. If you are unsure if the Premium Physiotherapy Package is for you, you can request a free Taster Week by speaking with the Home Manager. For more information on our Premium Physiotherapy Packages, please click here.

Daughter of Resident 31 October 2024

My mum received excellent end-of-life care at Somerhill Care Home. She was in the gentle hands of the nursing and caring staff who were kind, attentive and professional at all times. The manager was very welcoming, easy to communicate with and genuinely caring. The rooms were lovely and comfortable. The setting and grounds are stunning. Thank you to the Somerhill Care Home team for the compassionate and professional care you provided for my mum.

Son of Resident 8 October 2024

My aunt is looked after by absolutely lovely caring staff who are always amazingly kind and patient. The atmosphere in the home is lovely and welcoming. When my aunt arrived she was underweight and stressed and anxious and in the months since she has been with you she has really blossomed and seems so much better. I am so grateful. You really all do a brilliant job! Thank you.

Nephew of Resident 14 August 2024

My father has been at Somerhill for the past ten months and the care, love and compassion that he has been shown has been second to none. The staff always try to make my dad laugh and it is apparent that his happiness is of the upmost priority to all that care for him. The peace of mind that I get from Dad being there is immeasurable.
