About Butterfly House

Butterfly House is a care home in North Somerset offering both personal and nursing care. The findings below set out the CQC's most recent assessment of the service.

Butterfly House provides personal and nursing care for up to 36 people, with a specialist focus on dementia support. At inspection, 29 residents were using the service. The home is situated in a residential area of Weston-Super-Mare across three floors with communal and dining areas on the ground and first floor.

Recent refurbishment has created a dementia-friendly environment, and the home was undergoing renovation to add two further rooms and staff office space.

The service identifies risks to residents and takes action to reduce or mitigate these, including those associated with people's individual needs and care requirements.
