Private Gardens

At La Fontana Care Home, our gardens are more than just outdoor spaces, they’re vibrant, welcoming places where residents can relax, connect with nature and enjoy the fresh air. Thoughtfully designed to be safe, accessible and dementia-friendly, they offer comfort, stimulation and tranquillity for everyone to enjoy throughout the year.

Gardens That Encourage Activity and Creativity

For residents who love gardening, our secure landscaped grounds feature raised flower beds, vegetable planters and ponds, perfect for pottering, planting or simply admiring the seasonal flowers. Whether tending to the vegetables, watering flowers, or sitting with a cup of tea while others garden, residents are encouraged to get involved at their own pace, finding both purpose and enjoyment outdoors.

A Calming and Dementia-Friendly Environment

Our carefully designed sensory garden provides a peaceful retreat, filled with textures, scents, and sounds to gently stimulate the senses. With comfortable seating areas and patios, it’s an inviting space to sit with family, share conversations with friends, or simply soak up the sunshine. Overlooking the beautiful South Somerset scenery, the gardens have become a favourite spot for relaxation, reflection, and social connection.
