Care Homes Owned by Fairfield Care (West Dorset) Ltd

There is a lovely atmosphere about the place. Mum has consistently told me how good the staff are to her, she likes the food and partakes in some of the many activities that are held. The home is well-managed and any concerns or questions that I've raised with the management have been quickly responded to and satisfactorily answered/resolved. The building itself is lovely - a nice mix of old, traditional and modern.
In short, I would recommend Astell House for anyone looking for a care home for an elderly relative.

time.
Thank you Sharon and the team!! Amazing job.

appreciated. It was obvious to us that she was happy there and was treated with dignity and compassion which is so important. Unfortunately and unexpectedly she became ill early in July 25 but was able to remain at Fairfield to be cared for and kept comfortable during her last few days until she died. Certainly our experience of Fairfield albeit brief was very positive and we say a big 'thank you' to all involved in her care.

family.
They always kept us informed on everything that was happening.
I would like to thank them for all they did and making my dad comfortable and giving us support throughout.
A great team and they should all be very proud of what they do.

all the staff sit with residents and talk and spend time with them.

guest room (which was very clean) and provided supper and breakfast. The home is so clean and the staff are always kind and courteous, nothing is too much trouble for any of them. Mum is so relaxed and comfortable with all the staff. Such a great happy and loving atmosphere.

kindness and respect.

yesterday and they went above and beyond for them both. Mum went to have tea with Dad. They laid and decorated a special table in his room, with an afternoon tea; cakes, sandwiches, nibbles, flowers, and decorations. It was so lovely. Thank you.
My dad is also a steam train fanatic. It was a bit too much for us to be able to take him ourselves, so again, in the summer, the home stepped up. Two carers brought him from the home to the station and took him back again... in their own time. We were made up that we could make this happen for Dad, but we couldn't have done it without them.
Thank you all so much.

summerhouse that can be used by residents and family/friends. My friend is particularly pleased to be able to access fresh air in a nice environment. Of course the most important thing with a home is good management and staff. All the staff at Astell are fantastic, we are so grateful for all that they do for my friend.

and Dad always appeared to clear his plate, I would highly recommend Fairfield the manager and her team.

be hugely caring and pleasant and do their best to make her time there enjoyable and safe. Many have also helped me deal with the different changes in my mother’s condition as they happen. The current activities staff make a great deal of effort to involve residents in activities that they enjoy and provide a good range - Mum still enjoys anything that involves a good sing!
The new manager and senior team seem very approachable, kind, and effective so I am confident Astell will continue as an excellent home for my mother and the other residents.

manager deals with any questions promptly and is always happy to meet in person to chat over any concerns.
Astell House has a really warm family atmosphere and we wouldn’t want Dad to be living anywhere else. Huge thanks to the entire team.
