St Benedict's Nursing Home is a well-established family run home. Our registration enables us to provide residential, nursing and dementia nursing care within two separate units. The Vicarage is our nursing and residential care facility and The Deanery is our dementia nursing unit. The building was first redeveloped in 1984, originally being the Rectory for St Benedict's Church.
Many attractive features from this period have been retained. The home was extended in 1987, with great care being taken to ensure the exterior blended with the original architectural design. We are a short distance from the centre of Glastonbury, which is ideal for excursions and shopping trips. Glastonbury is a town full of history, with many areas of public interest.

We have 2 experienced cooks who serve locally sourced delicious home cooked food. The day's menu is displayed in the dining room and discussed daily with each resident to ascertain their choices. Special attention is given for any individual dietary needs. We operate a daily laundry service and provide clean linen and towels every day.
We have 60 beds in total, 30 nursing and residential beds and 30 dementia nursing beds in two separate units, many rooms including en-suite facilities. All our bedrooms are a comfortable size and are tastefully decorated. We encourage our residents to bring personal items from home such as pictures and furniture, to make the rooms feel more homely and special to them.
We provide the highest standard of care, which is holistic, and evidence based. This means the care we initiate is individualised, incorporating the physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs of our residents. Our residents are cared for respectfully in a warm and safe environment.

Report
My Mum has recently settled into St. Benedict's - she has Alzheimer's and then had a stroke in May. I don't live in the area, but every time I have visited I have been reassured that my Mum is receiving the best possible care. The staff from the nurses, health care assistants and housekeepers are excellent - kind, friendly, patient and very… caring. We requested Mum be dressed and ready for a wedding 2 weeks ago, and when we collected her she looked great - hair and outfit all attended to. The residents of St. Benedict's are treated with respect as individuals.
