INTRODUCTION

Ferns is a registered nursing home approximately one mile from Yeovil town centre, providing care for elderly people, under the constant supervision of trained staff. The home is also accredited by Somerset Social Services as ‘Quality Rated‘, after undergoing a rigourous appraisal and audit process.

Ferns originally opened in 1993 as a 24 bed home. Following completion of its new wing and the refurbishment of the existing building in 1999, registration was increased to 30 nursing beds and increased to 31 beds in 2003 with the provision of a new quiet lounge /conservatory.

All of the bedrooms are arranged for single occupancy and are light, airy and tastefully decorated. Each bedroom has en-suite toilet and wash basin facilities, a television aerial point, nurse call, multiple electric sockets, a mirror, bedside light and a shaver socket.

25 of our bedrooms are on the ground floor each with their own door opening onto the gardens or patio areas. The 6 bedrooms on the first floor all have attractive aspects and are accessed either by the internal stairway or our passenger lift.

The environment at Ferns is informal and the care structured to individual needs. Meals are prepared on the premises by our catering staff who follow a menu of fresh homely cooking with special diets being catered for.
