Overall Experience

My brother who suffers from Parkinsons desease has bean a resident at Fairview for over a year, he has mood swings and mobility problems but the staff seem to keep him smiling, he is always clean and shaved and when he cant manage through to the dining room they take his meals into his room for him.

He is well fed with a varied menu.

Overall Experience

My wife has been in Lethen Park Care Home since 18th March 2025. I cannot thank all the staff there for the kindness and courteous manner they have shown towards my wife.
I was particularly pleased with the way my personal stress problem was dealt with. The care manager showed alot of sympathy and

helped me achieve the resolution I needed.

Overall Experience

My dad has been in Kirkburn Court since April 2023. The care he has received is second to none. Our family couldn't have asked for a better place for my dad to be looked after.
Everyone in Kirkburn Court are always very welcoming. From the manager , receptionist and admin staff, catering, laundry,

domestic , activity organisers and of course the carers. They are always so friendly to our family when we visit and they are so good to my dad.
He has regular reviews where we can raise any worries if we have any.
He gets out and about regularly for visits arranged by the activity organisers and he is encouraged to take part in lots of activities in the home which he really enjoys.
I would definitely recommend Kirkburn to anyone who are looking for a care home for a family member.

Dad has issues with washing & changing clothes. Staff trying hard to help. The activities coordinator goes out of her way to organise an outing or activity to engage Dad and has formed a close bond with him. She goes the extra mile.

Overall Experience

My father was a resident. Sadly it was only for 8 weeks but the experience changed all our lives. The care received was beyond our expectations. Nothing was too much trouble. My father suffered from dementia but he clearly loved and trusted those caring for him. Nursing staff were quick to respond to

his medical needs. In his final hours I saw staff care not only for him but also my mother. We were all treated like family. The home is spotlessly clean and very welcoming.

Reply from Wendy McGowan, Regional Director at Barchester Fairview House Care Home

Thank you so much for your kind words. The team at Fairview were honoured and privileged to support your father for the last weeks of his life.

Overall Experience

Our mum moved into Lethen Park from hospital after a turbulent 6 months and a broken hip. It sadly turned out this move was her last 6 weeks of life, and we cannot thank the staff enough for the gentle caring and support provided not just to mum but to us as well, particularly during her final week.

Even though mum was sedated on palliative care that last week, and we were there most of the time, many of the staff in her unit came in to say goodnight to her when going off shift. That level of care went above and beyond.

Overall Experience

Mum spent 2 years with Kirkburn Court. In her time there she was very well looked after by all staff. It was apparent from photos on Facebook and on our visits she was enjoying life.
As with many dementia sufferers. Her condition declined, but the level of care never altered.
She really enjoyed

her food and the entertainment provided there.
As with some, she will be remembered for some fruity language!
At the very beginning we were welcomed as family and this is still the case even after mum has passed.
Th care and attention provided to mum was exceptional. The help, guidance and support show to us was both informative and useful.
Manager at Kirkburn Court has always been approachable and understanding throughout.
Thank you to all.

Overall Experience

The care that my friend receives at Kirkburn Court is first class. My friend has a great relationship with the staff and enjoys sharing banter with them. He refers to Kirkburn as his home and he is very settled there. I have found all the staff to be very friendly and welcoming and nothing is too much

trouble. There is always a variety of things going on in the home, including concerts, bus trips and animal visits. My friend particularly enjoys spending time in the garden. The home always has a warm and fun atmosphere and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

Overall Experience

The lovely sping flowers at the front door makes the care home a welcoming place to visit. The staff are all so kind and thoughtful not only to my husband also to myself, family and visiting friends. Since my husband has been a resident the staff has spent time to get him back eating and drinking again.

A big turn around in 5 weeks. Food is good and plenty of choice as I have stayed for lunch. To the manager and all staff a big thank you fo rall the care and I'm so happy to see a smile on my husbands face which is a big relief for me.

Since my friends husband was admitted to Fairview House I am amazed at the improvement in his physical condition. Prior to him coming here his appetite was non-existent but now he is eating very well. He has good interactions with all staff.

Overall Experience

The past few month my beloved sister has been a resident at Lethen park. During this time the management and all the staff have been simply amazing. My sister is so very young and has been at Lethen park due to a Brain tumour. The end of life process has been so very empathic, caring and treated with

the upmost dignity. our beloved sister passed away in a home that shows so much love and care to everyone including us as relatives. We can not thank Lethen Park enough. We would like to say a special thank you to the night shift team in particular they were beyond amazing. We would like to thank the activity staff for all their compassion during this time. We would like to say a special thank you the maintenance manager for making my sisters room feel so very special for the time she was there. We will be for ever thankful to the staff at Lethen park. love always in my heart.
