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.
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, taking a stroll on our wrapping pathways, 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.
The garden also features a greenhouse for growing produce, a petting farm for animal therapy and for our enthusiastic gardeners, we have a gardening club. Residents take great pride in our garden and are regularly involved in its upkeep and development.
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.
We prioritise our residents’ wellbeing at our Somerset care home by creating a home-like atmosphere that offers comfort, personalised support and a range of facilities and services.
We encourage our residents to make the most of the private garden, offering them the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors, engage in various activities and appreciate the natural surroundings.

Our residents can enjoy a range of outdoor activities on the private garden, such as walking, gardening, exercise sessions or simply relaxing with a good book.
