My mum was hospitalised after a fall and breaking her coccyx. I was concerned that she would have to go elsewhere for rehabilitation but Firth House took her back despite the extra work looking after Mum as she is unable to walk at the moment. They have been brilliant in accommodating her extra needs, and the staff care very much about their long-term residents. They are kind and compassionate and deal in a business-like but humourous manner and are always empathetic and supportive to family members.

My father has received excellent care in Firth House. His care has become more demanding during the three and a half years he has been here, but staff have been very supportive to me and my father. As my father's disease progresses, we hope he'll be able to stay at Firth House. The meals are always very good. The afternoon cakes and ice creams are always a treat! The activities are very valued and enjoyable. It's always a treat for my father that I can bring my dog too!
Very kind and caring staff. A homely feel to Firth House.

My wife recently died. She had been a resident of Firth House for almost 3 years. Throughout her stay my wife was always treated with kindness in a dignified but loving manner. This was done in a very professional way by well trained staff working well together. A credit to good management and training. Her room was always immaculate and her personal presentation excellent. As our family is spread around Europe ease of clear communication was essential. We have no complaints. It was a momentous decision to move my wife into care. It quickly became apparent that the loving care and professionalism provided by Firth House far exceeded what was possible at home. This continued right up until her recent death. As a family we are forever grateful to the wonderful manager and her excellent team.
On seeing mam for the first time in her room at the Firth House I saw calm and content in her expression and body language people overseeing mam and the establishment was a great relief and happiness. Great choice and would recommend it.

My wife and I attended a Coronation Party put on by the care home for the residents. It was a lovely and friendly party and the food laid on was very tasty. My wife and I were treated to the food and drink which was a very generous treat and my mum had a lovely time!

My husband has been a resident of Firth House since October last. I have nothing but praise for the home. I go in very regularly and I have never heard anyone being impatient with the residents. My husband has advanced dementia and is very happy and contented there.

Mum seems settled after her long stay in hospital. She is settled and happy and I have noticed a big improvement in her. Thank you.

Firth House Care Home is a very welcoming place both outside and in, when you arrive the staff that you meet are efficient and bright and cheerful (as my mum-in-law says, full of fun). The decor is bright and pictures on the walls, furniture looks inviting to sit in, not all mish-mash and odd bits...
My mum-in-law landed on their doorstep (from hospital) at tea time and had a good night's sleep which says a lot as she is a very anxious/nervy person. We leave knowing she is well cared for and, most importantly, she is happy.
The care support excellent, treated with dignity all the residents, staff providing resident a person centred approach when dealing their residents to ensure meeting their day-to-day need and preferences. The home was very homely

After a difficult decision of my grandma, who suffers from dementia and needs a care home, when looking around Firth House we felt that the atmosphere and feel of the home was the right place for her instantly. Since being in Firth House she has joined in activities and enjoyed singalongs it's great to see this side of my grandma again and the Christmas activities and family lunch were a lovely way to spend time with her for her first Christmas in a care home.
