About Elm Tree House

Elm Tree House is a residential care home in Somerset, offering a small and homely setting where residents can feel genuinely at ease. The team there understands how much it means to families to find somewhere that feels personal rather than institutional, and that sense of care runs through everything they do. For anyone exploring options in the Somerset area, it is a place worth getting to know.

Elm Tree House provides personal care to up to 9 people with mental health difficulties, with 8 residents at the time of inspection. Inspectors found that risk assessments were not always accurate or regularly updated following incidents, and some environmental safety concerns were identified. Recruitment procedures lacked robustness and staffing levels raised concerns.

Medicines were mostly administered safely, though some clinical tasks did not follow best practice guidance.

The registered manager responded positively to feedback and took action to address identified issues. The governance system had not caught these areas for improvement prior to inspection, but the provider demonstrated responsiveness by implementing immediate corrections to the shortfalls found.
