A quick word from our Care Home Manager, Jenny Futcher
I have worked for Somerset Care for almost 23 years, with 5 of these based at Greenhill House in Cheddar – just across the car park from our Mendip View independent retirement living accommodation. Before this, my background was in home care, which is why I am so passionate about promoting independence in a home-from-home setting.
You will often spot me being accompanied by my black lab and therapy-dog-in-training, Bertie, who comes to work with me a couple of days each week and loves spending time with our residents. Aside from Bertie’s ongoing training, I enjoy swimming and reading, listening to audiobooks on my commute to work, and have recently discovered a new love of baking. I also play skittles badly every week, but keep trying!
I love working in Cheddar – it’s such a beautiful area in all seasons, and I am lucky to be part of a fantastic team.
I look forward to meeting you, showing you around, and answering any questions you may have about how we can support you to live independently at Mendip View.

All of your meals and refreshments are included. However, you are of course welcome to prepare your own meals using the kitchen facilities available, if you would prefer.
Our talented chefs create delicious and inspirational menus using quality ingredients sourced from suppliers whose food ethos matches our own.
Locally-sourced and seasonal wherever possible, we choose ingredients that deliver maximum taste and nutritional benefit whilst minimising environmental impact. We actively work with suppliers who meet strict global standards for food safety and also hold additional accolades for higher welfare standards, soil health and product traceability as applicable. The result is a varied, satisfying and frequently refreshed menu of seasonal dishes which are a feast for both body and soul.
We are very happy to accommodate dietary requirements and preferences, and will not compromise on flavour or presentation to ensure all of your meals meet your needs.

Wellbeing
We’re here to support you to live as independently as you choose at Mendip View, with care and support on hand 24/7 should you need it.
Independent retirement living enables you to live the life you choose – and live it to the full! With unrestricted visiting, the key to your own front door and the complete freedom to set your own routines, your time is what you make of it.
Enjoy the ease of having your meals prepared for you, or the freedom to prepare your own; do your laundry when it suits you, or let us take care of it for you. Mendip View is all about freedom of choice, with the reassurance of knowing help is always at hand.
Technology in our homes
Key to the wellbeing of our residents is the ability for them to live rich, fulfilling lives and remain in contact with their loved ones. All of our care homes are fully equipped with free wifi throughout (including in bedrooms, communal areas and garden spaces) to help people stay connected and access on-demand entertainment such as catch-up TV should they choose.
Supported by a central IT Team, Somerset Care’s dedicated Care Technologist can support with setting up and troubleshooting personal smart devices that residents may choose to bring with them into the home, such as mobile phones, tablets, smart speakers and smart TVs. The home’s care team can assist with video calling, virtual attendance at family events and special occasions (e.g. weddings and celebrations) where attendance in person is not possible, and enabling access to digital care plans. Please visit our FAQs page for more information about care home technology and support.
