Care Homes Owned by Allegra Care in Dorset

It's a shame Mum only got 3 months but it was a much better 3 months

.

It is difficult to know how my wife feels as she has no capacity (speech, feeding, drinking or walking), although her attendance there has relieved my anxiety about her being in care.

My father has been living at Fairmile Grange and I cannot speak highly enough of the care & kindness shown by every member of staff.

Choosing a care home is never easy, but Fairmile Grange has exceeded our expectations in every way. Thank you!!!

Excellant care home with vast improvements with the addition of Jane taking over the management of the facilities a few months ago. She really has steadied the ship and has a wonderful team of staff behind her. They are all very caring and attentive to the residents needs. I watch them regularly interreacting and knowing all the residents by name and showing respect and dignity. My father has Alzeimers and complex needs which are always met from the smiling team. A special shout out to Jainey our nurse on floor one, but the whole team really deserves a shout out. Plenty of entertainment is on offer for those wishing to partake. The home is light and airy and has a tireless team keeping it clean. Thank you for giving us as a family the peace of mind that Dad is receiving the best care.

My Mum has Recently become a Resident at Fairmile Grange and all I can say is WOW what a Difference Myself and my Husband has seen in her. She is being well looked after by all the Staff Members and is really enjoying herself the Activities I'm sure where made for her! as she loves Music and Joins in the Singing and Piano. She is There as a Permanent Resident after Living with Ourselves for a long time she has vascular Dementia and she has settled down so well the staff cannot do enough they are so kind and considerate towards her it gives me peace of mind knowing she is happy and safe.

Mum stayed for respite twice this year. Although her dementia is probably progressing, she is still able to do her own personal care but needs support with most other daily tasks. The staff were friendly and obliging, and Mum loved her stay here. Thank you to all the staff at Fairmile Grange.

Thank you to all the team @ Fairmile Grange for their love and support for Mum and to us all as her relatives.

Over the last two years, we have always found Fairmile Grange to be a warm and friendly place to visit. The staff are caring and kind and seem to know their residents well. The modern facilities are excellent, and there are many varied activities for the residents to take part in. I would certainly recommend the home.

My mum has been a resident since November 2023, she went initially on a short-term basis when her husband was taken ill, unfortunately, he passed away a few weeks later. We had no hesitation in making her care there permanent after the way they had looked after her over the initial 3 weeks. Mum has dementia and balance issues. The staff are so friendly to everyone and in a very short space of time, they all seem to know her by name. She has had subsequent falls and she has been well looked after both medically and emotionally. We all live far away but the staff contact us if anything has happened and keep us updated at all times. It is a great peace of mind for us all. There are plenty of activities every day, but no pressure is put on residents to attend. Mum is always asked and she picks and chooses what she does. She has already made good friends there. I try to go as regular as I can and the staff are always happy to sit down with me and discuss how she has been since my last visit.

Overall the care my wife is receiving is very good and she seems to be settled living in Fairmile Grange. There have been times when she has been left either without a drink or very little drink when I have visited, this needs to improve.

I had not visited for about six months. On the day of my arrival, I found the en-suite in a state of disarray. There was equipment out of place and it didn't look clean. When I visited the next day it was much better. There is no toilet seat and all the curtains are hanging off the rail. Some maintenance is definitely needed. Mum also had stale food left on her clothes.

Mum was very poorly when she arrived at Fairmile. It was a very difficult time for the family. Mum has been cared for so well and her capacity has improved so much that I am amazed. Mum is treated with respect and the nursing staff and the wellbeing ladies regularly go out of their way to take Mum out on trips. Her appetite has returned, but when it was poor, one lovely staff member, in particular, shared her takeaway in order to get Mum eating. 10/10.

I would like to say thank you to the Manager and all the staff for providing such a caring environment for my mum. The entertainment team are excellent with a variety of fun things for all the residents to try.

A fantastic care home that really cares about the health and well-being of its residents. There are always different activities planned and the residents always seem happy. The staff work incredibly hard, are happy and always super helpful. Highly recommend.

Fairmile Grange is an excellent home with specialist dementia, nursing and general residential care. The home is very well maintained and managed with very friendly and competent staff. The rooms are all ensuite and kept spotlessly clean. The entertainment and activities provided to the residents is very inclusive, creative and stimulating by a committed group of staff.

We would like to say thank you to the Manager and all the staff for providing such a lovely birthday 'party' for our parents and their two sons-in-law. It meant such a lot to us as a family, to share our celebrations with mum and dad. The Clinical Lead went to so much trouble to make us all feel special.

We have been very happy with the care our mother receives at Fairmile Grange Care Home, she is comfortable and has the opportunity to take part in lots of activities and chat to other residents and staff. As she has become less able, staff have reacted and used different approaches to care for her.

From the moment you step through the doors, you feel at home. Fairmile is a place of warmth, care and expertise. My father is happy and very settled there. He enjoys the many activities and the company of the other residents. The staff are professional and friendly. The residence is very clean and fresh, light and airy. Fairmile is a lovely environment where each individual has their own needs catered for. It’s a most uplifting place.
