Might be an idea to go to http://www.old-maps.co.uk/ and search for Soundwell. The maps there are about 100 years old and one can pan around without cost although the resolution is not as good as it was when the site first opened.
I had a look round (Lower Soundwell - I wonder if there's another nearby) but could see no nursing home although a bit to the west and north is the Bristol Union! Perhaps, "No place like home" was a euphemism used to disguise the truth because, let's face it, they were no places like home!
Even if you find nothing, the maps are interesting.
Good hunting

P.S.
Freebmd ( http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl ) gives his birth place Reg. Dist. as Keynsham so is there something amiss? Perhaps "your" Soundwell is near Keynsham and that's in Somerset.
Old maps again!
Cheers.
