At The Laurels, we provide family-led residential care in a comfortable rural setting. Our home is situated in the peaceful village of Draycott, 2 miles from Cheddar at the foot of the Mendips Hills, in the beautiful North East region of Somerset and has a great view over the local landscape.

With just 21 beds, we get to know each resident personally, meaning they feel truly at home at The Laurels. Our caring and compassionate staff make sure life is safe and comfortable for our residents, while also providing a daily activity & well-being programme that means they get the most out of life with us.
