When visiting Firstlings we have found on all occasions the staff to be most helpful and friendly. The residents seem very comfortable with their care. The building itself is clearly clean and well maintained.

As my father has become frailer over the three years since he arrived he was given a ground floor room in the last couple of weeks. It has been newly decorated with his input with his own pictures and 1940's theme carefully chosen to suit his memory.

Putting Mum into a care home was a hugely tough decision - very emotional.
Three years later she has 'passed on'.
Throughout I saw good and often great care and excellent attitudes.
I saw professional courtesy and patience and professionalism, best of all in a busy life where things have to be done that this was more than a job, that for many this was life service, real dedication and personal care of the high order.
Several said and meant 'it is a pleasure' or at the end 'it is an honour' to help her through.
So expect strong leadership, a good bunch of people, a lot of care, supported by solid training, kindness and warmth.
Lastly, I was so impressed by their handling of Mum's last days (and their genuine warmth to us). They applied grace and dignity as I would wish and hope and did her and themselves proud.
Overall my father has been treated very well. Unfortunately, he has had many falls while in the care home, however, I know his condition has contributed heavily to this and perhaps the only way to have prevented this would have been 1 to 1 supervision 24/7, which obviously couldn't happen, it is...
Overall my father has been treated very well. Unfortunately, he has had many falls while in the care home, however, I know his condition has contributed heavily to this and perhaps the only way to have prevented this would have been 1 to 1 supervision 24/7, which obviously couldn't happen, it is something to consider for future residents though.
As I live in Spain I have peace of mind leaving her here. The staff are extremely good and kind to all here.

My father has been a resident for three years, he is a double amputee and needs a lot of assistance due to his lack of mobility and age (83). He is settled and happy in his environment and the staff are always pleasant, helpful and caring. We have got to know several staff and think it is great that we can take our small dog into the home, she creates a lot of attention amongst residents. The staff have responded quickly when my father has been unwell due to his diabetes and accompanied him to the hospital- very reassuring as I live 4 hours away.

My partner has been here at the home for 19 months. The care is of a very high standard and I am very pleased that my partner who is suffering from Parkinsons and dementia is here. He is currently very poorly and the home has offered to give him end of life care rather than to be sent to the hospital or a nursing home which I know would cause him far more distress. I am extremely grateful for this.

My name is Tina, I have worked at Firstlings since 1999, progressing from the role of Junior Carer to Registered Manager in 2009. I'm extremely passionate and caring and have adapted to the many changes that have been introduced within the care sector. My ethos is to be the voice for my residents whilst accommodating their individual needs.
We have been awarded several accolades over the years and continue to receive some great testimonials from the families of our residents, not least of which was to be accredited with an "Outstanding" rating by the CQC, which is indeed a testament to the sheer dedication of every valued member of my team.
Of worthy mention, is the fact that I also worked alongside the parliamentary review for care homes, to give some real insight into our world and the many challenges that we continue to face, both operationally and commercially, in our assertive effort to deliver the very best level of care within our community.

I have worked at Firstlings since I was 20 years old. I joined as a Care Assistant, then moved on to Senior, where I worked night shifts for 15 years before taking up the role of Deputy Manager in 2009.
Firstlings is more than your place of work, it is also like being at home.
I enjoy all aspects of my job and find my role very rewarding, one aspect being the end of life care. To support our residents and their families whilst ensuring everything is in place such as Farleigh Hospice, anticipatory medication and to ensure their passing is pain-free and dignified. I feel the last part of the care you can finally give is a great honour.
