Review from Sally G (Resident) published on 28 March 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother-in-law was a resident at Fairholme House for 5 years. During that time, my mother-in-law was treated with dignity and respect. The manager always went above and beyond to provide exceptional care right up until my mother in law passed away. There would have been no better place for my mother
in law to be during these tricky years, that she was unable to care for herself. The owner also always treated my mother in law with the utmost respect and us as a family, we were so welcome and felt at home whenever we visited, which my husband did every day.

My Mother was diagnosed with dementia a few years ago and has been a resident of Fairholm since.
The staff have always been very friendly and helpful to her and to my family when we call or visit. My mother is always complimentary about the staff when I talk to her.
Her room is decorated with her
own pictures and ornaments and she overlooks the walled garden which makes her happy.
She has her own TV, newspapers and books if she wants to read on her own or she can go downstairs to the communal area to be with other residents.

Review from J H (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 March 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It is a very hard and tough decision to decide that your parent needs to go into care, but from the moment I contacted Fairholme House to Dad’s arrival last year I was treated with kindness, understanding and respect by all staff. Dad has settled in well and is extremely well cared for by the staff,
District Nurses and a local Doctor as required. The food is very good and staff soon got used to Dad’s likes and dislikes!


The main meal is served at noon and all residents are encouraged to sit down together, which I think is important. Supper is more informal and there is always a good selection offered to residents. Fairholme has a warm and homely feel to it and all communal areas are clean and tidy. Staff engage with residents and are understanding and respectful of their needs.


Dad enjoys the variety of activities that are in place at the home.

Reply from Asgherali Gulamhussein, Director at Fairholme HouseDear J.H,

Many thanks for your review and kind words.
It's an absolute pleasure to have Dad as a resident at Fairholme House.
We normally chat to him during our weekly visits and he has some great stories to tell.
I will forward this review to the staff who will feel very appreciated.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.665)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.665) out of 10 for Fairholme House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 10 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 4.915 for Fairholme House is calculated as follows: ( (108 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 118 Ratings = 4.915
  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 4.75 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Fairholme House is based on 10 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 3.75
    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 22 registered maximum number of service users is 4.4, which has been reached with 10 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
