Review from C W (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Mum has been at Fallowfield for the past 18 months. The home is beautifully kept as are the large gardens. I always receive a friendly welcome when I visit. I am kept up to date with any changes in staffing or policy via emails and the relatives' meetings. I very much appreciate the photo newsletters
from the activities teams so I can see the activities that have been going on each month.


I usually see Mum in the lounge on my visits and this is where the activities team work. I have observed how patient, caring and hardworking the activities team are.


If I have a specific query to raise on my visits, I can usually find an appropriate staff member able and willing to help. Once or twice unfortunately, I have needed to highlight to the staff a health or presentation issue with Mum that appeared to have been missed. As a general rule, however, Mum appears content and well looked after.


Thank you.

Review from Claire B (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has now been resident at Fallowfield for around 3 years. She started off in Fallowfield, recuperating from surgery, and was able to transfer to another care home after about 6 months. After a year or so in that care home, her deteriorating mental and physical state meant she had to transfer
back to Fallowfield. Here she is now more or less bed-bound, although the staff do manage to get her out most days to join others for dinner and activities.


Overall, we have been very pleased with her care, and feel that the staff do their best and are kind and attentive. The house and gardens are lovely and the activities organisers really do a wonderful job. My mother seems generally happy and content. She loves the home-cooked food, has never wanted to go back to her own home, and initially did not want to move to the other home because she liked the staff at Fallowfield so much.

Exceptional Care and Wonderful Staff
My Grandmother was a resident at Fallowfields Care Home, and I can't praise the team enough for the outstanding care and support they provided. From the moment she arrived, Ashleigh and her team showed genuine compassion, professionalism, and warmth that made both
her and our family feel at ease.
Every member of the team including nurses Lillian and Farin, went above and beyond to ensure she was comfortable, well looked after, and treated with dignity. The communication with family was excellent, and it was clear that the wellbeing of the residents is their top priority.
We are incredibly grateful for the kindness and dedication shown by everyone at Fallowfield. Thank you for making such a difference during a difficult time.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum, spent her final few months at Fallowfield and we couldn't have asked for a better environment for her to spend her time being cared for. Every single member of staff at Fallowfield went above and beyond with their care for mum and she was made to feel at home immediately after moving in. The
activity program was varied and had something for everyone no matter what their ability. The menu was varied and nutritional and mum always enjoyed the food on offer every day. The care that my mum received was excellent and wouldn't have wanted her to be anywhere else. The staff were so genuine and welcoming and I felt like I was part of the family when I visited every day. Mum sure was in the best place and I will miss my daily visits!

The home is very warm and welcoming and is in a very grand building and setting. All the staff, from management and admin to nursing and support staff, have been really supportive of my mother-in-law and the family as a whole. Unfortunately, Mum's terminal prognosis made her stay very challenging, but
we were supported very sympathetically until the end.

Given my father is restricted to bed and his room as a result of his fragility and his own wishes, the facilities are fine. Staff are attentive to my father's needs.
Cleanliness is excellent. My father is treated with dignity in the main.
Relevant professionals are involved in my father's care to
maintain a healthy balanced weight and diet. The staff and management are all friendly and helpful.

My mother has been a resident of Fallowfield for three years and has always received excellent care. During Covid times we were always encouraged to visit the garden and had regular contact by telephone. She is currently in good health and is always presentable at all times. We are kept up to date by
way of newsletters and weekly e-mails updated by management as and when required. mum has become quite a star through photos being taken of all the different things that they do.

We are very happy with the level of care our mother is receiving at Fallowfield. The staff ensures, despite our mother's incapacity, that she is treated with dignity and respect. It is reassuring that whenever we visit, our mother is always clean and well presented, and obvious that staff have taken
care to moisturise our mother's skin and brush her hair nicely. The staff clearly have a passion for the work they do, and this always comes across. Thank you!

Excellent room very helpful for my wife who is unable to participate in most activities or go outside. For me the knowledge that she is a good and safe home is essential, and I can visit her regularly, living nearby. So I miss her after 67 years of marriage but I feel at home when I visit her. She needs
her earpieces and new batteries once a week,

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.347)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.347) out of 10 for Fallowfield is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 6 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 4.797 for Fallowfield is calculated as follows: ( (57 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 69 Ratings = 4.797
  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 4.55 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Fallowfield is based on 6 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 = 3.55
    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 25 registered maximum number of service users is 5, which has been reached with 6 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
