BCVS HOMES
The decision to move into residential care can be difficult, both for the person concerned and their family.
The philosophy at BCVS Homes is that care should be of the highest standards, but unobtrusive; the main concern is quality of life.
They will look after residents in a caring and sympathetic way; to ensure privacy and dignity are respected and to encourage active independence for as long as possible.
It is recognised that families and friends play an important role in the lives of residents. They are welcome to visit at any reasonable time. There is a small charge to help towards cost and all guests only need give at least one day's notice so the meal they choose from the varied menu is available and can be prepared on the day by the experienced cooks.
BCVS Homes is dedicated to caring for the elderly on a "Not for Profit" basis; all profits are ploughed back into the company for the benefit of the residents.
The experienced staff receive ongoing training to ensure they continue to meet the needs of our residents and both homes have the Loop System for the hard of hearing.

Butterfly
"The carers are kind, really know their jobs, I could recommend them to anyone" (CQC report 2013) is just one of the positive comments made by Butterfly's clients and relatives to the inspectors from the Care Quality Commission (full report available on CQC and Butterfly website).
Butterfly provides a flexible range of services for anyone who needs support or home care – or simply a helping hand to live life to the full on a temporary or permanent basis.
Whether it's a weekly half hour call, or round the clock assistance, carers are able to help with tasks including light domestic work, shopping, preparing meals, personal care, overnight care, and transport to appointments.
Butterfly understands just how valuable a high quality and reliable service can be to older people who do not wish to leave their homes and go into residential care.
Treating people as individuals and as we would treat our own family is most important.
Local family run care service, Butterfly, has established a strong reputation for home care in Bath over the last five years.
Butterfly offers help and support to the residents of Bath, Keynsham, Bradford on Avon, Trowbridge, Frome, Warminster and Westbury and their surrounding areas providing an affordable alternative to residential care.
Butterfly has built up a large team of carers who are fully vetted and benefit from on-going training and monitoring to ensure the highest levels of support.
If you would like to discuss any aspects of our services, then please contact the manager, Mrs Tracy Usher or the Care Co-ordinator, Miss Sam Wright on 01225 835888 or 01373 825951.
St John's Hospital
St John's Hospital is a charity providing accommodation for older people in Bath, promoting independent living while creating a sense of community. Residents are encouraged to continue with their social life outside of St John's, in addition they can join in a range of activities if they wish. Pub lunches and food demonstrations seem particularly popular.
The self-contained flats are situated at Combe Park, in Weston, and in the city centre, with a Care and Support team on each site 24 hours a day, administering personal care and responding to emergencies. St John's also provides an in-house maintenance service.
As part of a holistic approach, St John's also offers spiritual and pastoral care for those who want this support.
