We are very happy with the care being provided to my mother since she entered Fairfax Manor in February 2026. The facilities are top notch and more importantly the staff and organisation at the home is first class. All staff are very welcoming and enthusiastic with every effort taken to include my mother
in activities in spite of her advanced Alzheimers Dementia.
We could not have wished for a better location for mum in her final months.
Reply from Sharon Oldfield, Home Manager at Fairfax Manor Care HomeThank you for taking time to write this lovely review for the team; we appreciate this very much. With grateful thanks on behalf of the Fairfax Manor team.

My Mother has dementia but is a very fit and active 82 year old. I love that Mum does the daily activities, sometimes twice a day. The staff are amazing, very patient and caring, the facilities are really top notch. So much so that Mum thinks she is staying in a hotel. I can't thank the team at Fairfax
Manor enough, it has given me so much peace of mind, knowing that Mum is thriving in this environment.
Reply from Sharon Oldfield, Home Manager at Fairfax Manor Care HomeDear Ruth We are so happy that you are happy and your lovely Mum is happy. Peace of mind is so important and we are so very delighted to be able to support you both in this way. Thank you for giving us this opportunity to care for your Mum.

My grandad Donald lived at Fairfax Manor for the last couple of years of his 99 years and 8 months. The care he received whilst there was amazing. Staff were caring, understanding, always ready to help, and always with a smile. And the buildings and grounds are immaculate. Grandad felt very comfortable
and I, and my family, felt reassured that he was in safe and loving hands. I can't fault Fairfax Manor in any way.
Reply from Sharon Oldfield, Home Manager at Fairfax Manor Care HomeDear Dylan We are so grateful that you have taken time to leave a review for us. Your Grandad was an incredible gentleman and he is very much missed by the team. Thankyou for you lovely words for the Fairfax Team; it means so much to us. Kind Regards on behalf of the whole team, Sharon Oldfield, Home Manager

My Godmother moved into Fairfax in March 2025 following a stroke. I'm very happy with the choice of care home we made. I have found all the staff friendly and professional through out her stay. If there are any issues they are sorted out quickly and nothing seems to much for the staff and management.
I
have no problem with recommending Fairfax Manor.
Reply from Sharon Oldfield, Home Manager at Fairfax Manor Care HomeDear John Such a lovely review, thank you ! We are so grateful for being given the opportunity to care for your Godmother and I am so pleased that you are so happy with our service. With kind regards and thanks, Sharon Oldfield (Home Manager)

Both my parents are residents at Fairfax and was carefully shortlisted by myself.
The care home has wonderfully friendly staff but mirrors the quality of my parents home and feel content that both my parents get the best care and attention and has been a true game changer for us all.
I'm a true advocate.

Fairfax was an obvious choice for Dad when he needed care. The whole team are absolutely brilliant, they're happy, approachable and friendly and they treat Dad with respect and kindness.
The Orangery is a lovely bright area which provides a great space for visiting guests and families who are always
made to feel so welcome by the staff.
The surrounding gardens are wonderful - Dad loves walking round the blossom trees
The lounges and restaurants on all floors are beautiful and the restaurants provide a great choice and quality of food
Bedrooms are clean, modern and 'homely'
Daily activities (the activities team are fantastic!) - there's lots to do every week, and plenty of opportunities to get involved and meet other residents, which has really helped Dad settle in.
Reply from Alexandra Fairhurst, Commissioning Manager at Fairfax Manor Care HomeThank you for taking the time to leave such detailed and positive feedback. We're very pleased to hear that your dad is receiving the care, kindness and support he deserves, and that our team have made such a strong impression.

My father went in from hospital for respite for a few weeks, and the care and support he received was amazing, wonderful, kind, caring staff who couldn't have done enough for him. He looked after all the activities and met new people.

A Truly Exceptional Standard of Care
After experiencing two other care homes in the local area, finding Fairfax Manor has been nothing short of transformational. The difference has been night and day - in every single respect.
My father moved in just a few weeks ago, and in that short time, the impact
on his wellbeing, comfort and dignity has been profound. From the moment we walked through the door, Fairfax Manor felt different. The surroundings are clean, bright and genuinely welcoming - not clinical or cold, but warm and homely in a way that immediately puts both residents and families at ease.
What sets Fairfax apart most, however, is the people. The staff don't just care for residents - they genuinely care about them. The empathy is real, unhurried and consistent. You can feel it in the small moments. At the heart of all of this is the manager, Sharon. She is, quite simply, phenomenal. A true titan in terms of knowledge, service and compassionate leadership.
Reply from Sharon Oldfield, Home Manager at Fairfax Manor Care HomeDear J Thank you for taking time to write such a wonderful review for Fairfax Manor and the team. We are driven to provide the best possible care and I am so glad you feel we have made even a small difference. I will share your feedback with the team. With grateful thanks, Sharon

A beautifully furnished home with a high standard of care. Mum loves being in Fairfax and tells everyone it's her home. Mum is always clean, dressed nicely with her jewellery on - not at all like when she struggled at home. I would highly recommend Fairfax Manor.

Fairfax Manor is a wonderful place with caring, friendly and helpful staff, carers and nurses. Fairfax is welcoming to all visitors. The social areas are inviting to have a coffee/tea with family and friends and the living areas are very cosy and comfortable. Dad has been well cared for since he arrived
and specifically with the treatment he needed. Dad couldn't be in a better place.

Fairfax Manor Care Home is the place to be if you want or need a secure future. It is ideal for those who are wanting peace of mind for future care and attention as old age creeps upon us. A comforting thought is that if a problem arises in any department then immediate action is taken to remedy the
situation. All in all Fairfax Manor is the best place available to be for a residents future well being.

Both my parents have been in Fairfax a number of times, more recently for a longer period.
The level of care they have received has been outstanding. All the staff members go above and beyond to be welcoming, friendly and the level of care each and everyone of them offer gives you the confidence your
family member is being looked after by the very best.
The facilities are excellent, warm, comfortable and the food and services on offer are great.
I would not hesitate to recommend Fairfax to anyone looking for the very best in a care facility.

As a family we would highly recommend Fairfax Manor Care Home. My Mother went to the Home as end of life and passed away 2weeks later. The care and attention to her needs was outstanding. Altho she couldn't really tolerate food the lovely Chef, Gino, did his level best to tempt her. Sorry Gino that
she couldn't enjoy it to its fullest and neither could we as her time was short. Peace comes in for a special mention with her kind calm manner , truly peaceful. Thank you Peace. Every member of Staff went over and above to make her last days as comfortable as they could. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you

Dad was one of the first few residents at Fairfax when it opened and although there was one or two teething issues at the beginning, due to it being a new establishment, these were ironed out quickly. Dad always referred to Fairfax as a hotel and that is because, unlike some other care homes it was
beautifully kept, both inside and out. However, for us as a family, the most important criteria was care and we were not disappointed. All the staff were so lovely and caring. Dad was a Type 1 Diabetic and hence had to have the District Nurses out twice a day to administer insulin. This was not always ideal, but the staff at Fairfax were always so patient with his sometimes erratic sugar levels. They always had a smile and a joke for him.. Unfortunately, in the end Dad had to be moved to a nursing home and is now no longer with us. I know that he had not wanted to leave his home, but Fairfax was certainly a very good substitute.
Reply from Sharon Oldfield, Home Manager at Fairfax Manor Care HomeThank you for taking time to review Fairfax Manor, it is very much appreciated. I will be delighted to share your feedback with our amazing team. We plan to open a General Nursing community very soon so that our residents who require this care do not have seek a new care provider. With grateful thanks. Sharon Oldfield, Home Manager

My stay in Fairfax Manor was excellent for two weeks of respite care. My room was superb, and the facilities in the home were brilliant. I cannot find enough words to say how kind and caring the staff were. All were amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely recommend it. My slight niggle
was the food. Having said that, the staff went out of their way to give me what I asked for. The soups were excellent.

Mum first went to Fairfax for respite in April 2024, and then again July 2024 when it was decided that she required full time care. We looked at other care homes but none compared. I could not bear to contemplate anywhere else. The home itself with all its high spec rooms with safety features and the
wonderful caring staff I cannot fault in any way at all. The staff equally care for my Dad on his daily visits. The care is second to none and the whole place is spotless. I feel that Mum is very safe and cared for I would not hesitate to recommend Fairfax to anyone. In fact I have.

My Mum has Alzheimers disease and was living alone many miles away, which was a constant worry. I started to look round care homes for when the inevitable happened, somewhere where my Mum could be closer to me in Harrogate.
I remember the first time I went to look round Fairfax Manor (April 2024),
I immediately felt at home and my gut sat so comfortably. It was the only home out of the 8 I viewed that I could picture my beautiful Mum living in. From the beautiful care home itself and more importantly, to all the staff.
Sadly, my Mum was admitted to hospital in January 2025 and was unable to return to her home. The manager was amazing and did everything she could to support with my Mums move between councils.
My Mum has been at Fairfax Manor for over 2 months now and I just know that she is in such a lovely place and is being cared for. My Mum especially loves the church services and anything involving music!
I can't recommend Fairfax Manor highly enough and am extremely thankful.
Reply from Lucy Gradwell, General Manager at Fairfax Manor Care HomeThank you very much for your wonderful feedback on your mother's experience with us at Fairfax Manor. We're delighted with your comments and will continue to do our very best to give your mother a fantastic home to enjoy - always with great music!
