Brief description

The Ferns is a care home providing nursing care for up to 39 older people. The home provides day care for a small number of people when required. It is a largely purpose built home in a residential area about one mile from the centre of Yeovil which has all the facilities of a small town.
 
There is level access around the home with a lift to the first floor where six of the bedrooms are located in the older part of the building.

All bedrooms are for single occupancy and have the en-suite facilities of a toilet.
 
The home has a large rear lounge / dining room. This room is also used for activities for both resident service users and those attending for day care and has access to the garden.

 
The home also has a conservatory, which also looks out over the rear garden. The gardens have been hard landscaped to provide accessible level outdoor space that is attractively planted at acceptable heights for people using the service and the garden is designed for ease of wheelchair use.

This brief description is an overview of the service and may have been updated since the latest inspection report was published.
