Registered Manager Anne Goodman said:
I am very excited to be joining the Agincare family and leading the Sedgemoor team into its next chapter. Over the past few weeks, I have thoroughly enjoyed working with the operations team and am genuinely excited about what the future holds.
Following a period of uncertainty for the home, I am incredibly grateful that we can continue to support our residents and provide high-quality care for many years to come.
With space for 40 residents, Sedgemoor will provide high-quality residential care, including specialist support for people living with dementia, and is ready to welcome new residents.
Resident of many years Robert Perkins was pleased to welcome the new care home team, he said:
It’s brilliant living here. The staff are so friendly, and we have a good laugh every day! Absolutely brilliant!
Agincare has a proven track record of transforming care home services at risk of closure into thriving, welcoming communities, and providing stability for residents, families, and care teams. Sedgemoor joins our national network, which includes Beaufort Park Retirement Village in Burnham-on-Sea, Sunnymeade Care Home in Chard, and Critchill Court Care Home in Frome – all once threatened with closure but now thriving under Agincare’s stewardship.
