The Winsor Nursing Home, Minehead
The Winsor is a beautiful nursing home in Minehead, close to the beach with period features. We are proud of our latest report from the CQC, which gave us a good rating in all areas (July 2023).
Our staff are passionate about enriching the lives of our residents, who receive nursing care, dementia nursing care and palliative care. We also offer respite care breaks. These are perfect if you are caring for a relative at home and need a short break.
With stunning sash windows, high ceilings, original cornicing and oak bannisters, the Victorian nursing home is beautiful. With just 38 bedrooms, it has a very warm family feel.
The home has a sweet shop, a hair salon. And warm, cosy lounges to relax in.
Activities at our nursing home in Minehead
Activities at our nursing home in Minehead
Our residents take part in so many wonderful activities. They love everything from arts and crafts, to flower arranging and baking. Some of the residents have recently been growing their own herbs and vegetables, which will be used in the kitchen.
Every week they enjoy visits from two very special friends, therapy dogs Grace and Maggie. And there are always singing and gentle exercise sessions going on too.
Family members are very much part of The Winsor Nursing Home, Minehead, and love to take part in activities and events. They are welcome to visit at any time. We also have a private Facebook group for relatives and friends. This is a lovely way for them to see what their loved ones have been doing when they can’t be there in person.
A hairdresser visits us, and other nursing homes in West Somerset, for regular appointments with residents in our salon.
And for our residents who are nursed in their bedrooms, the activities come to them! From animal visits to more personalised activities, we are here. We recently organised someone from one of our resident’s favourite football clubs to bring along some treats, much to her delight!

Price information for our care home in Minehead
It is usual for residents in care homes to contribute to the cost of their own care. Some people have the resources to pay for this in full, whilst others make means-tested contributions.
Our weekly fees are individual to each of our residents and are subject to a pre-admission assessment, which is required to understand the level of care and support needed. Our 2024 weekly care fees for nursing care start at £1,373, but may be in the region of 30% more*. This depends on your care needs and the type of bedroom that is right for you, from our standard rooms through to our premium bedroom options.
*If you require more specialist care such as 1-2-1 support, your weekly fee could be higher.
