Absolutely hands down the best care I could have for my Mum. I live in the States and I never have any worries about her safety health and care. Kayleigh and her team including the chef and housemaid are 100% the best. They communicate if they have concerns for my a mum, they have daily contact with her doctors and when I visit they make me feel so at home and welcomed. Her room is her space and is kept clean daily. Food is top notch and their bubbly personalities make mum laugh and giggle. Music once a week, hairdresser and nail tech. Mum is so much better for being at Fernbank. I cannot say enough or thank them enough !!!!!

Whenever we visit Ferndale lodge it is lovely to see my husband's Dads partner looking happy and well cared for. The staff are friendly and treat the residents with care and dignity. Whenever we visit we are always offered a hot drink. We love that we can visit any time and stay as long as we like, then when we do leave we always have peace of mind knowing she is safe and looked after well. This is so important as she was previously in a home with strict visiting times and I always came out worried and often in tears. We couldn't be more delighted with Ferndale Lodge.

This home provided outstanding respite care for our mother, and we couldn't be more thankful. From the moment she arrived, she was treated with kindness, respect, and compassion. The staff went above and beyond to ensure she was comfortable, safe, and well cared for, and their professionalism was matched by genuine warmth. Our mother always commented on how good the food was! and how everyone was so friendly and kind to her. Knowing she was in such capable and caring hands gave our family real peace of mind. I would highly recommend this home to anyone seeking quality care for a loved one.

I would highly recommend Fernbank Care home, the care is outstanding. The staff are so caring and attentive to Mum (and us as a family). The home offers fantastic meal options which Mum loves, it's clean, they have days out, daily activities which are all fun keeping Mum entertained and the safety of the home is exemplary.
The home offers lovely gardens which is perfect as Mum likes to sit out reading her paper in the summer months, chef brings her ice lollies, fresh drinks and staff are attentive applying suncream.. it's these things that makes Fernbank stand out with their care. Mum is so settled which is so reassuring for myself and my sister knowing our Mum is happy, safe and enjoying her days.
We cannot recommend Fernbank enough, we really are so grateful for all the love and care you give her. Outstanding all round.

My mum has been living at Fernbank since January and I honestly couldn't recommend it highly enough. She has Alzheimer's and has really settled here, which means so much to us as a family. The staff are absolutely fabulous - not only with Mum, but also with my sister, myself and the whole family. They are warm, caring and genuinely lovely people, and their support has made such a difference.
Being a small care home gives it such a homely, welcoming feel, and you can tell how much each resident is valued as an individual. We feel so reassured knowing Mum is safe, well cared for and surrounded by kindness.
