My husband has Alzheimer's which affects his speech and ability to walk without help. He has always been a happy man no grumbles. I had been caring for him with help until I had to go into hospital. My husband has been in Fairlawn since April, he has settled in well and he likes being with other people. All the staff are very kind and helpful. I go to see him every other day if possible and sometimes help at mealtimes. The food is tasty and varied. There was an open day yesterday which we all enjoyed and I hope to go to Mudeford next time they visit. I have not put excellent for activities because my husband cannot answer questions.
I would just like to say a few words, when my friend first went to Fair Lawns, it wasn't good. The people there were quite good but it had a nasty smell, stained chairs which you did not want to sit on; there is no need. For this even if it is old it can be clean and stain free, but since the new...
I would just like to say a few words, when my friend first went to Fair Lawns, it wasn't good. The people there were quite good but it had a nasty smell, stained chairs which you did not want to sit on; there is no need. For this even if it is old it can be clean and stain free, but since the new manager has taken over, he has turned the home around. It is now a much brighter, beautiful home and very welcoming. It has helped the staff and residents alike, a good job well done.
My parents in law came into the home this year. The care they have received is 100%. The staff and manager always greet us when we visit and are so caring. The home is always spotless and their bedroom is always clean and tidy. Nothing is too much trouble and I am always informed of any problems...
My parents in law came into the home this year. The care they have received is 100%. The staff and manager always greet us when we visit and are so caring. The home is always spotless and their bedroom is always clean and tidy. Nothing is too much trouble and I am always informed of any problems regarding them. The meals are good and they enjoy the activities. So yes I would recommend Fairlawn at Ferndown.
