Halcon Centre

More visitors for care home residents

We are pleased to announce that as of 12th April, care home residents will each be able to nominate two regular visitors to meet with indoors. In line with new government guidelines and with the use of rapid tests and PPE, these visits can take place indoors without the need for a screen between them. We will continue to review the situation in line with advice from 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.
