Firth House

I couldn't be happier with the care my grandma receives at Firth House, it is always clean and all the residents always look happy, healthy and warm. All my grandma's needs are met and the care home communicates well with all of our family. We speak highly of the home and the staff.

Staff at Frith House are welcoming and efficient. Covid restrictions were implemented and maintained strictly. During lockdown, staff kept us well informed about the visiting arrangements. They also provided relevant information about residents. Many of the staff have worked there for years, and that means there is a wealth of experience. In pre-Covid times, a wide range of activities was operated, benefiting residents. I have visited a number of care homes, and I consider that Frith House is well managed by committed and enthusiastic staff, meeting needs in a caring and sensitive way.

The home smelt fresh on arrival. Staff introduced themselves at reception and on the wing. The atmosphere was pleasant; it felt calm.

Mum recently moved into Firth House, having spent several weeks in hospital. The staff couldn't have done more to make her feel welcome and settle her in, and she keeps telling me they are all very kind and look after her well. The home is kept very clean, and the food always looks tasty and appetising with a good variety and voice. All the residents seem very happy and well cared for with plenty of activities to keep them entertained.

Knowing mum is well looked after and cared for gives us so much peace of mind as a family, following a fall mum was in hospital before social care took over and she was placed in a home. Her property went missing, she hardly ate and the staff hardly knew her, my daughter found Firth house and we haven't looked back, she is safe and happy and I couldn't ask for more. We are very happy and as is mum!

Thank you to the manager and all the staff.

My husband has been a resident of Firth House since July 2020, through the difficult struggles of the Covid epidemic. The Home is very well run. Management is friendly, experienced and efficient. Residents are treated with love, care and dignity and it is a safe happy place to live. Would definitely recommend.

Access to the garden with a member of staff to get some fresh air and also have a cigarette from time to time would be very welcomed. It's one of the few pleasures in life that she appreciates and would like that to be taken into consideration. Thank you.

I would completely recommend Firth House to anyone who needed that 'special, caring place' for a loved family member.

Knowing that Mum is safe and well cared for gives peace of mind to my sister and myself. I don't know how we would have coped during the pandemic without Mum being a resident of Firth house. Thank you to all the staff.

Frith House is very well run, considering the tough times they have gone through with Covid. The staff are very helpful and very good with the residents.

It's relief to know that mum is settled and well looked after.

Friend of the resident, recommended Firth House to the family. I feel my friend's care is excellent nothing is any trouble. Family and I both feel the best place for my friend to stay and meet care needs.

During my mum’s stay at Firth House, the care given to my mum was the very best. But especially the last week of her life, I had the phone call to say my mum had been placed on end of life, I live two hours away and made the journey to be with my mum. The manager gave me permission to stay as long as I needed to and the care given to my mum was tender and also the care given to me during my stay I wanted for nothing. I slept in the same room in a chair with my mum for 4 days until she passed. I was provided with food endless supply of coffee and the use of a shower room to freshen up. I couldn’t have asked for a more caring home with staff that was so patient with my mum and the caring nature towards me. I am glad that the last few years and especially the last few days of mum’s life was in this loving caring environment. Total admiration and respect for all the staff and managers at Firth House.

My Gran stays in this home! It is amazing, it is like a true family! The care they provide is second to none and I wouldn’t want my Gran anywhere else. She is so happy and settled, the staff treat her so kindly as if she is part of their family. It’s amazing to see the interactions, the family days and the events which they put on for the residents regularly. Obviously with the current climate times are tough on everyone but you wouldn’t know it with the way the team at Firth House still go above and beyond! I would recommend this home to anyone and everyone!

My mother had a bad experience in a previous home in which they couldn't meet her needs etc.. and she sadly lost my dad through the beginning of the lockdown. Locally we found Firth House that my mum was assessed and they could meet my mum's needs we are so grateful for the kindness and assistance and loving at Firth House that they have given. My mother is eating better she has now put on weight and other needs have been put into place we are now getting to visit and take my mum out, so thank you, Firth House, the manager, deputy manager and the carers you are all giving my mum excellent care she is so happy to be here where she can call home.

Firth house provided my mother with excellent care, and have been fantastic throughout this whole pandemic. The staff there are brilliant and kept us in contact through virtual media platforms. It’s not just a care facility they class it as their home. From the family perspective it gives us great comfort that our mother is being well cared for and she is very happy, I would highly recommend Firth House for anyone looking for a care home for there family members safe in the knowledge they will be safe and well looked after.

My mother who suffers from Dementia has been a resident of Firth House for 3 years. Although at times she can be quite difficult I cannot thank the staff at Firth House enough for she has continually been treated with the greatest respect and care and knowing her final years are in such an excellent environment takes a great weight off my shoulders.

My lovely sister was in the care of Firth House for a number of months and the care she received was the best I have seen in a nursing home. Having worked in this environment myself in Scotland I knew what to look for in regards care etc and this place fulfilled all those requirements. A special mention to the manager who made sure everyone got the care they needed and is a vital part of the home. Sadly my sister died in April this year at the home and the end of life care was excellent, I’m so grateful for that.

In an organisation it’s the staff that make the difference and I cannot praise them enough. The home is also very close to the centre of Selby which made taking Mum for those memorable days out really easy.
