Overall Experience

My Mother who suffers from Dementia has been at Fir Villa since February. The home is nicely maintained and benefits from attractive gardens which a few residents are begining to take advantage of as Summer arrives. The food is exceedingly good and staff try to cater for differing tastes.
In general

the staff are all cheerful and accomodating and go out of their way to treat visitors and patients thoughtfully and with kindness and good humour. So far as my Mothers is concerned they have endeavoured to do their best for her health and welfare. In all an excellent environment.

Review from L H (Cousin of Resident) published on 15 March 2023 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My cousin suffered from dementia and was a resident in Fir Villa from September 2018 until her death last month. I cannot praise the Manager and the staff for the care and attention they gave her even if she could be awkward at times. I live in Kent so was not able to visit as much as I would have

liked also with COVID when I phoned the staff were always happy to give me an update on her progress. I would highly recommend Fir Villa to relatives of people with dementia

Review from Julia N (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 18 October 2017 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Fir Villa is my elderly relative's home. She has dementia but she is very able to voice what she likes and dislikes and she likes her home. She refers to Fir Villa as 'my home' and that was something I never thought I would hear. She tells me she is very happy. She likes the staff because they are

kind, friendly and helpful. They are always welcoming when I visit and they smile. She likes the food, 'plenty of good vegetables'. She is always joining in with the activities. I can see she is well cared for but also see she is relaxed and happy. I couldn't wish for a more professional, warm and friendly environment for her.

Review from Elizabeth F (Cousin of Resident) published on 21 February 2017 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I visited this lovely home recently to catch up with a distant relative. I was greeted and welcomed warmly by a member of staff who showed me to where my relative was and immediately offered us refreshments. The home was beautifully decorated and clean, there were fresh flowers everywhere. All the residents

I saw were happy and smiling and joining in with the afternoon activities which were being led by an enthusiastic and clearly brilliant, talented and imaginative coordinator. My cousin was so engaged in the activity, she hardly noticed I was there which is how it should be. Staff did offer us the option to go somewhere more private but I felt so welcomed into the activity group I was happy to stay and join in. All the staff I encountered seemed happy and professional but spent time with residents just chatting.
When I left, I felt reassured that my cousin was content, well cared for and most importantly happy. I have visited several homes in the past but have never been so impressed.

Review from Tom C (Son of Resident) published on 24 August 2016 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Whilst my mother is more than satisfied with the care that she receives at the facility, the food is disgusting requiring food packages to be sent.
My mother appreciates the empathy of her care givers and also the fact that they brought animals on the grounds, such as sheep and donkeys and also they

allow my sister to bring in her Labradoodle !!

Reply from Denise Read, Owner at Fir Villa

We are very disappointed with the comments made in this review and feel they are unjust . The person writing this review has never visited the home, or sampled the food, or raised any issues with us. This particular resident has very definite likes and preferences and doesn't always want the food on offer even though there are 5 meal choices for every meal. As a result every Tuesday this resident gives us her own shopping list which I then personally go and purchase for her so that she is able to eat exactly what she chooses. These are her own preferences such as smoked salmon and her own preferred brands/labels. We make every effort to accommodate her special wishes even down to a particular brand of chocolate digestive for her to have with her cup of coffee. We also facilitate trips for her to go out and make her own specific purchases in the company vehicle with a member of staff to assist. With regard to the " food packages" that are sent these often contain items such as chocolates rather than any essentials of a good healthy diet. Therefore, with respect, I again reiterate that I believe these comments are most unfair and had the home been contacted by this particular reviewer they may have received a fuller picture of what actually happens.
It is also worth mentioning that we carry out monthly forum meetings with residents as well as six-monthly quality assurance and the feedback from all of these is always positive with regard to the food provided and written evidence of this can be seen by anyone visiting the home at any time. Visitors often come to the home to have lunch with their relatives/friends and we are often complimented about the" lovely food". I have also spoken to the daughter of this resident today who is the main person involved in this residents care and she has confirmed that she is more than happy with everything in the home and all we do and provide.
