Welcome to Catherine House Care Home

Catherine House is a Somerset care and nursing home sat in the heart of the historic market town of Frome.

The home offers thoughtfully furnished, personalised rooms, many with views over the home’s attractive garden areas, which form part of everyday life for those living here.

Catherine House provides Residential, Nursing and Dementia care with the home made up of three individual households, each created to support people with similar care needs. This means the environment, daily routines and skilled care teams within each household are all tailored to meet the specific needs of the people living there. As a result, residents, who the home fondly refer to as family members,  experience more personalised support in a setting where their needs are better understood and consistently met.

We’re proud to be an active part of the local community, building meaningful relationships throughout Frome. We support and encourage our family members to stay connected to the people, places and activities that matter most to them – offering choice, promoting independence and a strong sense of belonging.

Catherine House’s approach to life recognises the values, beliefs and identity of each person. Each person that may need our support is unique and by understanding one’s life history, one’s journey in life, by striving to be a true continuation of home, we create a place where everyone feels safe and never alone.

Stepping into a new phase of life by moving in to a care home can be both a profound and daunting transition. We understand that this step marks a significant life change which is where our commitment lies in crafting an environment that resonates with a warm, welcoming, safe and nurturing community that residents, who we affectionately refer to as family members, can call home. Our team are dedicated to fostering a family-like atmosphere and never leaving anyone feeling like strangers in a strange land.

Our model of care brings a heartfelt change to the care sector, focusing on turning a care facility into a welcoming home. Our aptly named “household” model of care is an approach that seeks to create an environment and care support that closely resembles a traditional home setting for individuals no longer able to live on their own. It aims to foster a sense of belonging, autonomy, and well-being by designing our support and environment to mimic the experience of living at home. Instead of the usual clinical settings, this approach strives to make the people in our care feel like they’re truly at home, surrounded by warmth and familiarity.
