Review from M B (Friend of Resident) published on 23 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A friend of ours went into the home in March 2023 and I can honestly say she had the best of care. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, nothing was too much bother. The house felt very homely, everywhere is clean and relaxed, plenty of activities to keep residents amused, meals are fresh and well prepared,
clothing laundered everyday and medical assistance is available when needed. The grounds are lovely and well kept, residents are able to enjoy the fresh air in a safe environment. Management and staff work hard to ensure the wellbeing of the people in their care and are always willing to answer any questions. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Dad went to Fairmount 11/22 and I can truly say care from the start the team have the highest standards. The home is clean cosy and bright. Walking in feels like home. The team are welcoming and they genuinely care for the residents. We are part of the Fairmount family and the staff are happy to communicate
we feel, blessed that dad is here. The management team make time for residents to explain processes.


Very organised. Lots of staff to help residents with fun daily activities. Access to dedicated GP, podiatrist etc. Hygiene control is a high standard, and visiting times are well managed. Residents' dignity is paramount it's natural. Dad is in the safest place. The team always make time to chat and suggest items to bring for dad. Clothing is well cared for and cleaned daily. Catering goes above and beyond providing outstanding meals. Dad settled my last visit after 40 min said it's been lovely to see you I need to get back to the others. Went home with a happy heart knowing he is safe and well looked after. Well done Fairmount medals for outstanding commitment to your residents.

Review from June G (Husband of Resident) published on 29 June 2022 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband transferred to Fairmount following a fall. He has vascular dementia and following assessment remained in care. This year marks one year of his stay. At the start there were a few minor hiccups but they were rapidly sorted. Mainly due to my stress/guilt and being unaware of procedures. Fairmount
is an excellent home for my husband. The setting is homely but efficient for its purpose. My only problem is the location. I do not have a car and have difficulty visiting but that's personal. My husband's appearance is clean, groomed and cared for. His bedroom is faultless, as are the other areas in the home. Beautiful garden facilities and varied activities are regularly organised by a good activity team. The Fairmount team, from the manager, carers, and admin to background unseen staff are always welcoming and helpful and respond to requests or problems with efficiency and positivity. I feel safe and comforted to leaving my husband in Fairmount's excellent care and surroundings. Thank you to all.

Review from Carol O (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 June 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident at Fairmount for the past three years. I have always found the staff to be considerate, kind and polite when dealing with my Mother. During the Pandemic, the home made an effort to make sure that I was able to see my mother each week by means of window visits. My Mother
always appears to be in good spirits when I visit her. The staff are friendly and always have a smile on their faces. Her room is spacious and always tidy and clean. The areas where the residents sit are clean and warm and the gardens out the back have a big veranda where residents can sit in the Summer. My mother is 94 years old and sadly suffers with dementia. In my opinion, she has the best care at Fairmount.

Review from Donald H (Husband of Resident) published on 16 July 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
On the recommendation of Princess Royal University Hospital in Farnborough Kent, my wife was placed in Fairmount Care Home for a period of six weeks following being discharged from hospital after completing surgery and treatment for a fall at home resulting in a damaged hip. My wife sadly suffers from
dementia. The care that my wife received was excellent. The buildings are spacious and very clean, but most importantly the staff are professional and very caring of their guests. My wife has now returned home having benefited hugely from her time spent at Fairmount and if in the future she should need to return to residential care I would be entirely happy for Fairmount to provide this.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother moved into Fairmount, after being in another care home and a very bad experience. I cannot praise this home and staff enough. My mother has a beautiful room and has been extremely well cared for. The staff are so helpful, and although we haven't been able to go in, we have been able to visit
regularly. We are kept updated on activities etc with a weekly email. Mum will be 96 in March and has dementia, so we were so relieved that she has settled and is happy. She has gained some weight and looks a lot healthier. Nothing you ask is too much trouble, and the manager and staff are always helpful. We are looking forward to going into the beautiful garden with mum soon.

My Mum has lived in Fairmount since May 2017. So far we are happy with everything in the home. She is well looked after and is as settled as she will every be considering her dementia. The home is clean and bright, it is a welcoming place to visit. The food is good and cooked on the premises. The care
is good and all residents are treated with dignity. There are many activities going on, group get-togethers, one to one and entertainment brought in.

The kindness and compassion shown by the carers at Fairmount are what sets it apart from other care homes. Nothing is too much trouble for them. The place is spotless and the food always of a very high standard. The entertainment and activities organised at Fairmount are interesting and varied. Individual
interests are catered for with everyone being encouraged to join in at their own level. The family members are always welcome too. A wonderful home for my mum.

I live in Ireland so do not get to visit as often as I could if I was local. However, on each visit, I have found the staff friendly and attentive, the home to be clean and welcoming and the residents happy. I really like the look and feel of the building. It is like a family home and not institutional
at all. All in all, I am happy that my mother is here.

I came to visit my best friend's mother who has been my family friend since childhood. The atmosphere and staff are amazing. I met the care home manager and I am so impressed with the love and care. I became emotional on seeing her room. It was beautiful. The extra special care on making each hallway
into different themes was incredible. The joke box bought back beautiful memories. Thank you.

Dad has only recently arrived but the improvement in him is great to see. All the staff have gone out of their way to welcome us and get to know about dad. There is a lot of interaction with staff and residents which is such a positive thing to see. It feels like you are in a real home, not a care home.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.132)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.132) out of 10 for Fairmount Residential Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 5.000 for Fairmount Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 3.132 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Fairmount Residential Care Home is based on 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 = 3
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 38 registered maximum number of service users is 7.6. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.6 = 0.132
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
