Fornham House

The home is lovely and welcoming and very clean .

Also the management were always availabe and looking after everyone - getting involved. Nothing was too much trouble. I thank all of Fornham House for care - kindness. also to me, his wife

My father was transferred from another care home to Fornham House to be nearer his family. Although his time there was short, I have nothing but praise for the staff and the way they cared for my father and would recommend the care home to everyone.

My Uncle has been staying in Fornham for two years on the dementia unit. He has been totally at home there with a lovely room and en suite, and enjoyed the activities greatly. Sadly he died at the end of August. His condition meant he could present some challenging behaviours and the staff on the unit were patient and kind, handling him with great care throughout. When he reached end of life care they could not be more attentive and caring, keeping us well informed and making many adjustments to his room and sitting with him regularly to make sure he wasn't alone or frightened. He didn't have much family, and we live in the north of England so visiting for us was limited, and we were all so grateful for the extra steps and kindness. The manager of the ward also helped us with registration of his death, definitely above and beyond. Thank you St Gen's for taking care of our loved one.

Ivy came to Fornham House on 6/6/25. Fornham is a wonderful place, I am very happy for my wife to be here.

From the very beginning of getting in touch with Fornham House they have been brilliant with everything. Mum is being cared for very well. It was lovely visiting mum and all the staff knowing her name within a couple of days. With over 80 residents that's pretty amazing. The management team always make time to listen as do all the carers as well, nothing is too much trouble. There is a very friendly atmosphere and activities to join in with. It's been good to visit mum and know she is being well looked after and having peace of mind when I leave. The meals look good and there are hot drinks too, cold water and squash are always available. Mum can have her meals with the others in the dining room which is lovely or have her meals in her room if she prefers. There is an onsite hairdresser who also does nails. I am so pleased to know my mum is very well looked after. My mums birthday was last Friday and a cake was made and brought in with candles and everyone sang Happy Birthday, perfect.

I have been staying at Fornham House since May 2025. I desperately needed help and support after losing my husband. When no where else would take me in, Fornham House did. They have supported and taken care of me. They have literally saved my life. They are caring and make you feel like you matter. They always put the needs of the residents first. I will be forever grateful for the love and support from Fornham House when I needed it most.

During my mums tenure at Fornham House the team have gone above and beyond to provide exceptional care. Whilst mum was mobile the array of activities offers to residents and their families is second to non and keep residents entertained. Since mum has become unwell the due care and attention has been outstanding they have done everything and more to accommodate her needs.The senior carers have always made sure we has a family are well informed. The day and night carers are always friendly and no ask is very too much. Even the chefs have outperformed by making specific urgent meals that she can consume (whilst also catering for 83 other residents and staff)!

Mum loved meeting everyone in the sitting room and enjoyed the great food that is served too them, absolutely fantastic. Mum received her end of life care with them and the care was excellent we were informed regularly of any changes in medication or Dr's visits, we were always greeted with kindness and compassion. I will always be grateful to Fornham House for the care, love and respect they gave to my mum.

Fornham House staff care very much about all aspects of making sure my Uncle is safe and happy. His birthday in the care home was one to remember, and they made a real fuss of him, which was lovely to see. He tells me the food is delicious and all the staff are helpful and friendly. It is a real pleasure to have him here, where we know he is safe and cared for.

Our mum was looked after by the staff at Fornham House for the last year of her life. We made her room look and feel like home from home, and we were happy with the welcome, care and support that she was given by the team who looked after her. Mum's final months were very hard, and the team worked closely and sensitively with us to support Mum and us through this very difficult time.

My wife has been in Fornham House Care Home for the last 16 months. She is pleased with the way the staff treat her. She is also pleased that she has a choice of meals which are always good.The entertainment provided is excellent and there are always staff to make sure the residents are fully occupied. Yesterday was her 93rd birthday and all the staff went out of their way to make it a day to remember. Both my son and I are pleased that we picked this care home for my wife.

We moved Dad to Fornham House a week before Easter, as we felt that with the progression of his dementia, he needed more dedicated nursing care. After visiting several other nursing homes, we decided that Fornham House was the right choice. We were impressed by the overall atmosphere, the facilities, and the warmth and professionalism of the staff.

The rooms the residents stay in are very good , the food at Fornham house is very good, and my mother particularly loves the tea and cakes they serve in the afternoons, I can honestly say I do not think my mother could be on a better care home.

We are so pleased we found Fornham House. My mother struggled at home, and now, at Fornham House, she has been transformed. She is brighter, happier and joining in with activities that we never thought she would do. The staff are so kind; they know her, take the time to chat to her and make her feel safe and secure. Her medical needs are met diligently and professionally. I cannot recommend Fornham House highly enough

I have visited my friend for the first time in a couple of months. He is very happy and settled. The staff seem very kind and friendly. The home feels like a home, very calm. The staff all smiled and wished me good morning. I feel at peace that my friend is happy and cared for.

My God what a difference. You read horror stories about care homes. Fornham House is certainly a nightmare. The new care home is a dream come true. Please avoid Fornham House at all costs. It's full of shirkers and liars and just a terrible place.

My mother recently died aged 96 years old after being confined to her bed for 3 weeks. She had advanced dementia, but at all times, she was treated with dignity and respect. All the staff in St. Genevieve Unit were so kind and thoughtful to both my mother and to me. Her bedding was changed most days towards the end, and staff popped in to see her regularly. My heartfelt thanks to all the staff for making her stay over the past year so positive.

So happy my auntie resides at Fornham House. It feels as she has a brand new life and she appears so content. She easily made new friends and is looked after by amazing staff every single day and night. Management was so helpful in any advice and answers to my questions, I am forever grateful! There is so much going on in terms of activities that makes me want to join in! Food is great, I would definitely highly recommend this care home, it has not only good qualities but most important this unique family feeling as soon as you walk inside!

Thank you.
