About Broadlands
Broadlands was established in 1945 by a group of local people that had a vision to offer something back into the community.
Support to help you feel at home
Broadlands Homes is proud to have recruited and trained a caring and hardworking Team, dedicated to supporting our residents in their everyday needs.
Led by our Manager we pride ourselves on supporting residents to make the transition from their own homes into our suites at Broadlands as effortless as possible.
Our community is solely for retirees, and many are from the local area, so it’ll feel like a real home from home from the moment you move in. Some residents engage in community events, on-site activities or even trips and days out to local beauty spots – and there’s lots of lovely places within a short drive.
I’ve been incredibly impressed by this place. Lovely, warm and comfortable facilities, caring staff and management and a sense of being a calm place to retire. Gets top marks from us!

Freedom to come and go as you wish
One of the many benefits of Broadlands is our central location in one of Somerset’s friendliest and safest towns. Our residents are free to come and go, safe in the knowledge that when they’re on or off-site, their suites and personal possessions are secure.
Our premises is only a short distance from the promenade, sandy beach and thriving town centre. There is plenty of on-street parking for visiting family and friends and within a short stroll are churches, tea shops, cafes and even the odd pub!
As a resident, you can do as little or as much as you like. Whether your pleasure is listening to music in your own room, reading a book in our social lounge or taking in the sun and listening to the birds on the patio, you’ll feel right at home at Broadlands.
A place where we invest in what we do and how we do it.
As a charity, we re-invest our profits into our people and premises, not expensive layers of management.
Many of our Leadership and Responsible Persons are voluntary Trustees, with paid personnel being directly involved in the support of residents or the maintenance of our premises.
By ensuring cost control and using paid expertise only as and when required, we can ensure the sustainability of our organisation for many years to come.
Risk Management
Despite not being registered as a care home we choose to operate our premises in line with Care Quality Commission care home guidelines. This means that our residents can live in comfort, safety and security when in their rooms and in communal areas.
We are GDPR compliant, so all paper or electronic data relating to residents and their own requirements will be kept secure in our Manager’s or Administrative offices.
Residents may receive post, newspapers, and other mail as they would in their own home. We are not permitted to open mail or store secure documents (such as passports, birth certificates or bank statements) in our offices.
We encourage residents to stay connected if they wish and will provide Wi-Fi access in some communal areas. Residents may install their own telephone, broadband or Sky TV in their suites if required.
Short term, flexible respite accommodation
We realise that making the move away from your own home may cause personal distress or some anxieties amongst family and friends. We encourage our residents to be as self-sufficient as possible yet live amongst likeminded friendly people.
Broadlands are more than able to accommodate residents looking for short term respite or as a trial to understand if we meet your requirements.
It’s always a pleasure to talk about your own needs and requirements in complete confidence. Please contact us to find out more.
