Fornham House

My mother-in-law has settled in very well in the Fornham House. It's good to see that the carers put their whole heart into their work, the manager is very helpful and understanding, nothing is impossible and the food served to the residents is very good. Clean rooms and the entire facility. I really recommend it, the house is full of warmth and positive energy.

I visited my friend at Fornham House I was very impressed by the overall feel of the home. They were welcoming to me and my friend was very happy and contended. The carers who I met were very helpful and kind. Lovely experience.

My aunt has been at Fornham House for exactly a year. Over this period I have seen her settle in well this is due to family support but most of all the dedication of the care staff which also includes kitchen staff, domestic staff and management. My relative is bedridden so depends on frequent visits to her room for both personal care and mental stimulation. She has dementia so contact with people who provide conversation is paramount. She is maintaining her weight due to the good food provided by the chef and kitchen staff. I was unable to visit on her recent birthday an event I never miss. When I rang her that day she said "I have had a lovely day". The staff all went the extra mile, she even had her hair done for her Birthday. As her niece, I am truly grateful for the continued care and respect all the staff show her. Thank you so much.

My sisters and I thought Fornham's care of our Mum to be exceptional. The staff were always cheery and professional when caring for mum giving her great dignity. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble or off-putting for the carers. We thought highly of the stimulating activities and individual attention that she received. Her love of singing was quickly picked up and she enjoyed many opportunities to join in with the various artists who performed there. We got to know the staff well and always felt welcome when visiting Fornham. The grounds are very accessible for wheelchairs with some lovely birds and plants which mum enjoyed seeing when we took her outside. The staff were always very helpful on the phone at any time we rang which was greatly appreciated as we all live some way away. They were also a great support towards the end of mum's life guiding us gently through her last few days. Mum liked having her hair and nails done which made her smile.

My sister was admitted to Fornham House directly from the hospital on January 27th for 2 weeks of respite care. Unfortunately, she did not rally us as we hoped she would, despite the excellent care she received it soon became apparent that she should have had the care sooner. The staff at Fornham House were loving and caring and did their utmost to make her comfortable in her final days. They were also very kind and understanding to me and my family. Thank you.

They have done wonders with him, I feel our relationship has improved and we have quality time back! The manager was so helpful and made the process so easy for him and me to adjust. The food and team is also amazing, nothing is ever a trouble for anyone at Fornham House. Thank you all!

The Fornham team are always so helpful and with a smile on their faces, even when things are really difficult. Lunches are very tasty and relevant to people with dementia. Now that my friend is non weight-bearing he has to be hoisted from chair to bed etc. Always carried out with care talking to him the whole time so that he is aware of what is going on. Well done and thank you.

Since arriving in September I have been treated with kindness, efficiency and respect, apart from one incident, which was resolved quickly. The staff are all very friendly and easy to get on with.

Food and activities are amazing and everyone is very helpful right from the top.

My mother has been at Fornham House since June 2020. Even though she is sometimes unpredictable the staff treat her with respect and dignity. I have recently noticed a smile on her face that I have not seen for a number of years so I know she is in the right place. I can't thank the staff enough for what they do.

All individuals from admin to nurses have been thoughtful and caring towards my father and I. I'm glad he had some fun and peaceful times before his passing, in the same home as my grandparents who resided there about 30 years ago as it happens. Special thanks to two staff for your loving care for dad - I know he was stubborn at times, it's the family genes!

Mum has been in Fornham Care Home for over two years and right from the start she was treated with dignity and made to feel at home. All of the staff are excellent and if I have a worry it is sorted straight away. Mum has made friends with residents and staff. The activities keep mum busy and occupied. I am so glad we as a family chose Fernham as mum's care home.

My great-uncle moved to Fornham house in May 22 and has settled in really well. The staff are lovely and keep me up to date with how he is! My uncle loves the garden and really enjoys sitting out when the weather is warm enough! It's a lovely place run by lovely people!

I am very happy at Fornham House. The staff are very helpful at all times. I love the activities that take place every day. The meals are very good and tasty.

My mother suffers with mobility problems and dementia. She has been a resident for 2 years and 4 months. Her care is exemplary. Her room is spacious and comfortable with a nice view and en-suite. The food is good and there is a nice dining room. There are activities in the lounge most days. The gardens are accessible and there is seating and an outdoor pod to facilitate visits during covid restrictions to protect the residents and staff. I am thankful that my mother has such a pleasant place to live and has such good care taken of her.

But Mum is very happy being here, just small details that get overlooked.

I was in Fornham House for four weeks of respite care. I was treated very well. If I hadn't come here, my illness would have become worse. I really like Fornham and the staff. I hope Fornham would have me back when I need it. Best food I ever had.

My friend is really settled in the care home, which is so satisfying for me, as he is safe, well cared for and well-fed. Credit to the staff who look after him.

My mum is very happy at Fornham House. She has made some friends and loves the staff and her room. The outside pod is great for visits; there has been a great effort made there. Mum tells me the food is fantastic. Communication is good; I receive regular calls regarding Mum's care and wellbeing. Fornham House is in lovely grounds; I walk around with my dogs and talk to the residents through closed windows; they like to see the dogs. Sadly, there is lots of rubbish around the grounds, even at the front entrance, which is not a good first impression. To deal with this, I have done several litter picks, after all, this is my mums home.

Our mum has a fall and we were extremely worried. However, we were put at ease by the staff who cared for her. They arranged for her to be examined by the medics from the hospital and then they expertly cared for her at the home and reassured us that Mum was okay. No-one could ask for a better or more caring service than the wonderful care our mum continually receives at the home. Thank you to all of you.
