I feel Blenheim Lodge provided truly exceptional care and friendship to her for her final years. We viewed several care homes in and around Minehead as she wanted to stay near all her friends despite all her family living a long way away. We chose Blenheim Lodge as after the welcome and information given by the Manager, who showed us all around and introduced us to some of the care staff.
Q What happens if I become ill? A Your G.P. will be called whenever necessary, and, in the first instance you will be cared for by Blenheim Lodge staff and, if necessary, in conjunction with the multi-function team. If the G.P. deems it necessary for you to go to hospital - arrangements will be made for your transport to/from hospital.
