Review from Andrew E (Husband of Resident) published on 20 August 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The care my lovely lady wife received was excellent. The staff are caring, understanding, attentive and involved.
The building, similar to many other homes, may not have the amenities of modern homes; however, I am more than content my wife was very well cared for.

Overall experience, extremely satisfied. Staff keep us up to date on my dad's welfare etc. They are quick to help if we have any concerns. The residents have daily activities they can do which are very good (each day has different activities).

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father went into Fern Hill House Care Home in December, receiving excellent care. The staff are patient and kind. We knew of Fern Hill House Care Home from past friends. Meals are good and there are activities if they want to join in. Cannot think of anything negative to say. They are all heroes.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum point-blank refused to go into a home, but the managers convinced her to go down for fish and chips and she absolutely loved it. She ended up staying the weekend and now she's still there and refuses to come out. She loves every minute of it and the staff are so lovely and helpful. There are
things to do there, keep the residents entertained, which is good for my mum as she has Alzheimer's. She went on a trip to Blackpool and loved every single minute of it too. All we ever wanted was for Mum to be happy and we have found that in this home.

My brother has lived at the home for two and a half years. The staff have been kind and helpful, and made him feel at home and part of the family. Whilst he has been ill they have looked after him marvelously and supported us in this difficult time.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has been at Fern Hill House Care Home for the past 3 years. The Manager and staff treat residents with love and kindness like they are their own families with dignity and respect being maintained at all times. The staff and manager let families know and update them on any changes that may occur
with family members and any concerns they may have. Any news or events is placed on a social media website for family members to attend and all are welcome. My mum has also made some lovely friends while there and seeing this makes me very happy knowing that she is happy and content.

My husband has been in this care home since August 2017. I couldn't ask for a better place for him. The staff are very professional, caring and very polite to the residents and their family. I'm even asked to have a meal with him which I do a couple of times a week.

When my mother entered Fern Hill House Care Home, it had just been taken over by new management and I am proud to say from the manager down to the caring girls and boys all give it 100% to make Fern Hill a lovely, homely feel to all residents. Lots of improvements and ideas have and still are being
done and management always entertain any ideas from residents and family members!
When I visit my mother, she is always clean and now classes Fern Hill as "her home" so I know I leave her in good hands so thank you to all the staff.

Current Review Score: 7.9 (7.875)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.9 (7.875) out of 10 for Fern Hill House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.667 for Fern Hill House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (8 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 4.667
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 3.208 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Fern Hill House Care Home is based on 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 = 3
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 24 registered maximum number of service users is 4.8. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 4.8 = 0.208
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
