Halcon Centre

You're in safe hands

With the announcement of a national lockdown on 4th January 2021, we will be unable to support internal visits with the use of rapid tests, in line with government guidance. Visits within our designated visitor suites can continue as normal however, and should be booked in the usual way. End of Life and essential visits will be facilitated as per government guidance. With the commencement of vaccination programmes in our Care Homes we will be reviewing this situation in line with advice from Public Health England and will welcome you back in to our homes with rapid tests as soon as it is safe to do so.

The Halcon Centre is a residential respite centre, where we offer short breaks for up to 18 adults aged 19 - 65 who are physically disabled and/or have a sensory loss. It is situated in a quiet residential area just a mile from the centre of Taunton, a town with varied shopping and leisure amenities. Besides its convenient location, the Halcon Centre is popular because we offer the highest standards of professional 24-hour respite and rehabilitation care.

Accommodation

The Halcon Centre provides 18 bedrooms each containing spacious en-suite facilities with shower, toilet and handwash basins designed to be wheelchair-user friendly. Fourteen bedrooms have overhead tracking hoists to meet the most complex moving and handling needs.
