Halcon Centre

Testing requirements removed for most care home visitors

From 4th April 2022, new government guidance removes the need for most visitors to show a negative Covid-19 test result before entering a care home, making it easier for residents to see their loved ones. We continue to work in line with government guidance, and monitor the situation with Public Health England.

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. In addition to the en-suite facilities there are two bathrooms, one with an ‘Arjo’ bath with whirlpool feature and ceiling hoist tracking.
