Services
Residential Care
St George's Care Home provides permanent residential care for adults over 65 in a family-like environment. Our CQC-registered facility offers private en-suite rooms and communal spaces that encourage social interaction while maintaining personal independence. Residents benefit from 24/7 support with daily living activities, medication management, and access to regular health assessments through our partnerships with local medical professionals.
Respite Care
Our respite care service offers temporary accommodation for those needing short-term support, typically lasting one to two weeks. This service provides family carers with essential breaks while ensuring their loved ones receive professional care in the same rooms as long-term residents. Availability is flexible, with at least one room reserved specifically for respite stays.
Day Care
Day care provides structured daytime support for individuals seeking social interaction and professional care without overnight stays. Participants enjoy meals, afternoon tea, and organised activities in our welcoming environment. This service offers a valuable opportunity for residents to engage with peers while receiving assistance with daily routines in a supportive setting.
Personal Care
Our personal care service supports residents with daily living activities while maintaining their dignity and independence. Staff assist with tasks such as bathing, dressing, and mobility while encouraging self-sufficiency. Care plans are tailored to individual needs, with privacy and personal preferences always respected through our person-centred approach.
Medical Care
Medical care at St George's Care Home includes medication administration and health monitoring by trained staff. We maintain close relationships with local GP surgeries and Musgrove Park Hospital for prompt medical attention when required. Residents may self-medicate with appropriate supervision, and all medications are securely stored and managed according to strict protocols.
