Compton View is an independent care home and not part of any chain. It is family owned by a husband and wife team. Jacky and Paul Edwards.
Our dedicated cooks prepare fresh food on a daily basis and there is a varied menu. They bake their own cakes, quiches, pies and cater for requests, especially when asked nicely. Nothing is too much trouble for them.
Compton View is based in a quiet, residential area of Yeovil, Somerset. Just a stones throw from the A37. We are less than 2 miles from the city centre. We are also fairly close to other big cities such as Taunton (27 miles), Weymouth (30 miles), Bath (40 miles), Bristol (42 miles) and Exeter (50 miles).
Yes. The garden and patio areas are used extensively by our residents in the summer months.
We have a full activity programme which provides activities for our residents throughout the week. We offer weekly Bingo sessions, quizzes, games and sing-a-longs as well as exercise classes and yoga. We organise outings to local pubs and tea-rooms, as well as bringing the party to us with karaoke evenings, pantomimes, and old-time swing bands. We like our residents to tell us what they want to do, then it’s up to us to organise it.
All of our staff are fully trained in relation to safeguarding of vulnerable adults. This training is refreshed on an annual basis. At Compton View there is a culture of openness and staff are aware that they are fully protected by the whistleblowing policy and would be confident about reporting any concerns. We feel it is an honour to care for our elders and we care for them as if they were our own.
The home has a good relationship with all the local GP surgeries and District Nurses who we can call on whenever required. Compton View is run by a registered nurse and as a retired nurse in a supervisory position.
Yes. The optician visits on an annual basis and our chiropodist visits every six weeks and the hairdresser visits weekly.

Due to the current circumstances with Covid-19, we are allowing outside visitors by appointment only and after taking a Lateral Flow Test which shows negative. We understand these precautions can be frustrating but we have to follow government guidance in order to keep everyone safe. Keep an eye on our social media pages for any further updates.
