My mother has been treated with the utmost respect and care by the Firs staff during the 18 months she has been a resident. Living overseas and unable to visit often it has given me piece of mind to know she is safe & well looked after. When I request live chats online the staff ensure mums tablet is charged and she is ready. As she has dementia and her deafness make hearing me on the tablet difficult they help her to talk to me.
I will share your lovely comments with all the staff.

My mother was at the Firs for approximately 3 years before she passed away at the beginning on May 2026. During her time there, The Firs provided a safe, caring, friendly and dignified haven for my mum who was suffering from vascular dementia. Every member of staff from the manager and care staff to the cooks and domestic staff engaged with myself and my mum and made her time there comfortable and happy. In her final weeks, I was welcomed with open arms, met with hugs and food if I needed it, nothing was too much trouble. I can't thank the staff enough for their patience, care and professionalism. The Firs is a truly special place, with staff who go above and beyond for your loved one.
I will pass your lovely words on to the team.
My aunt is very happy at The Firs. All her needs are catered for. All the staff treat residents with dignity and respect. The varied menu has something for everyone. Family members are kept up to date with Dr's reviews.

Thank you for the lovely review its always appreciated to know we are providing the best care and support for our residents and their families.
My Mum has resided at The Firs for a few months and has settled in well. The lovely staff are warm, welcoming with a caring manner and no question is too silly. There is an open-door policy, and it never feels inconvenient when we pop in. It's especially lovely that we can take my little...
The Firs is a small care home with good facilities, a family-friendly atmosphere providing efficient, effective and personalised care. Our family are very happy The Firs is a 'good fit' for Mum.
Thank you for the lovely comments, I will feed these back to the team.
I have found the care provided for my brother to be generally good. During the occasional visit, I have noted that he was unshaven. This, of course, could be a result of his behaviour/attitude. He seems to be very keen on puddings and not too keen on savoury. It would be helpful if the staff could...
Despite being very busy, the staff make an effort to provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere during visits. A couple of extra staff would be helpful in increasing the conviviality even further. He recently suffered a fall on the care home drive, not a fault of the staff, indeed they should be commended for promptly calling the emergency services and myself and endeavouring to care for him as best they could in the circumstances.
Thank you for sharing your valuable feedback with us. I would appreciate it if you could spare some time to discuss your comments with me further to enable us to make sure we are providing the best care and service. Thank you.
My mum has been in their care since March 2022 and has been comfortable, warm and entertained. All her needs are catered for and to my surprise, she doesn't stay in her room but sits in the various spaces in their communal area. I think this shows how much thought is put into each resident and...
I live close by and visit regularly unannounced and have always had a friendly welcome.

My father moved into The Firs approximately 8 weeks ago. We are amazed by the change in him, he is eating well and tells us the meals are lovely. He has gained a little weight and has his colour back and has told us the staff treat him like a King. Our opinion of The Firs so far is positive and we are happy that he has settled so easily thanks to the staff and management.
Thank you for the lovely compliments, I will feed this back to the team.
The Firs treat my husband like one of the family. Nothing is too much trouble and I feel so much better knowing that he is being looked after so well. I'm so glad I chose The Firs.

My brother-in-law has been a resident since August 2022. He has settled in well with the help of the caring and helpful staff. We attended the Christmas party today and it was heartening to see the effort the staff had gone to. They made the day fun and really enjoyable for all the residents. The food was excellent and bountiful. It is clearly evident that the staff are hardworking and caring. They know all the residents as individuals and treat them accordingly. The Firs has a warm, welcoming and caring atmosphere.
Dad has been at The Firs since 3rd February 2022. He has settled in well. I am able to visit any day and take him out of the home. Since he has been staying at The Firs he manages to continue his routines very well. All the staff have an excellent attitude and he is in a very happy place.

It is always such a difficult decision for anyone to have to make to put a relative in a care home. Between myself and Social Services, that decision had to be made on behalf of my mum. Unfortunately, she has dementia and for her own safety and wellbeing, moved into The Firs last August. From my first visit being shown around by a member of the staff, I knew The Firs would be the best place for her and that if she was in the right state of mind, she would have chosen for herself. I cannot fault the staff, the whole team are extremely helpful, caring and compassionate. This is definitely not a job that I would be able to do! I do feel reassured knowing that my mum receives the care and attention that she needs and deserves.

My dad lived at The Firs for two and a half years. During that time he received excellent care from the hard-working staff there. More than that, the staff went out of their way to accommodate my mum who visited him and were always friendly and considerate. During the pandemic, the staff and the owner were fantastic. All families were kept up to date via zoom meetings and there was not a single case or death at the home due to Covid. We were able to ‘see’ Dad via video calls and they kept the residents safe, well looked after and opened up visiting just as soon as they were able. The well-being of the residents has always appeared to be their top concern and I cannot recommend this home highly enough. A heartfelt thank you from myself and on behalf of my parents.
