The activity lady is outstanding, we think. So enthusiastic and thoughtful and treats patients wonderfully, always thinking of ways to spark off memories.
We are pretty overwhelmed by Ferfoot.
Could do with updates on mum, by email, instead of having to ask staff how she is. That has gone downhill of late. Overall, mum is well looked after.

This is my first experience of a care home as my husband was taken ill in October 2017 and as a result of this (a stroke), he has been left with dementia. I have nothing but praise for Ferfoot. From the very beginning, I have been kept fully informed of my husband's welfare, and the care and compassion of all members of staff are outstanding. The food is excellent and varied with choices for each meal. His room is kept very clean and he also is kept clean and tidy. He is settled and quite happy and I am never afraid to leave him after visits. I am sure he is being kept safe and happy, which reassures me. So overall I am very happy with Ferfoot.

I'm very, very particular about care homes and the standard of service one expects and should receive, and from a professional perspective, I've seen a few nursing homes so have some idea of how to gauge them. From the moment my father arrived at Ferfoot nursing home, he could not have been looked after any better. The staff were caring, attentive, considerate, kind and always happy and welcoming. Such small, but thoughtful things the staff do make this home and the level of care they provide so much better than many others. The staff are always around and available, but never intrusive. All of the staff make the whole experience of having a relative there, and visiting them, such a warm and welcoming experience. Having used other care homes, I can testify, without any hesitation, that Ferfoot nursing home is a breed apart - caring compassionate, welcoming and staffed by the kindest and most patient of staff. I've never hesitated to recommend them to anyone.
What a lovely "family home" feel.
With great entertainment, singing and dancing and days out.The staff have a great rapport with each other and especially the residents.
If ever I needed to go into a home - Ferfoot would be at the top of my list. (P.S I'm only 50 - not needed yet).

My husband has been in Ferfoot since January 2015. I have been very happy with everything at the home, it is a bright cheerful surrounding. The staff are excellent from the manager to the laundry ladies and cleaners, they can't do enough to make the residents have great care. The staff are always looking out for the families and are always willing to help whenever they can. I go in most days and it is made easier by the welcome service. Keep up the good work.
My husband was in Ferfoot Care Home for 18 months. He had vascular dementia. The care that he received was excellent. The staff showed him kindness and understanding. They were also very very kind to myself and the family. Sadly my husband passed away on March 9th 2016.

Thank you for your kind review of Ferfoot Care Home. Your husband was a charming, lovely man and all staff were extremely fond of him. It was a privilege to support and look after him, he will be sorely missed.
