Moving a parent into a care home is not always the choice you think you will end up making with them. The team at Ferendune Court have been incredible. Their care never turns off. They are constantly entertaining and making sure the residents are happy. My mum is very settled. I would highly recommend
Ferendune Court and the team here.

I cannot praise this care home enough. The facilities are spotlessly clean the decor is modern and fresh. Everyone from the manager to all the staff are so kind and caring. Always smiling chatty and the relationship they build with the residents is amazing. Communication is fantastic. I always know
what is going on. The activity programme is incredible and includes music/dance exercise/external trips to library/coffee shops/local events and further afield. Catering is excellent with menus displayed. I would book myself in.

My experience of Ferendune Court during my wife's 15 month stay has always been excellent. The care and love shown to her by all the staff especially in her final weeks and days was exceptional. Looking after residents with dementia is challenging and I was impressed by the cheerful and supportive way
my wife was cared for. I could not have wished for a more peaceful environment for her.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum, has now been in Ferendune Court care home for 13 months. My knowledge and experience of care homes was very limited prior to mum going in, so whilst I took a while to get used to the workings of the home mum settled in immediately. Given there are many individuals with different care needs in the
home, from my observations and dealings with many of the carers over the last 13 months they do a remarkable job of making residents feel special and in keeping them involved (There really are many activities ). The kindness, care and patience mum has received puts my mind at rest that her last years will be as good as they could be, so a big thank you to everybody involved at Ferendune.

My father has dementia and has been struggling with mobility. My mother was his sole carer at home and his health declined very quickly. I have been so impressed with all the staff at Ferendune. Initial conversations about respite care were efficient and sensitive. When my father could no longer be
looked after at home all the assessments were completed and he went into care at a crucial moment. The thought and care I have seen on every visit, with every email has been amazing. I cannot thank the staff enough.

My father hasn't been there long but so far all seems fantastic. His flat is lovely and has all that he needs, he is happy with the food and love that he is always offered a drink or snack. There always seem lots for them to do which is nice to see.

My mother is extremely well looked after at Ferendune Court Care Home. She has dementia. The staff are friendly and welcoming, many of whom are local and have been working at the home for many years. They make every effort to get to know my mother and provide the best care in a happy environment. We
are very happy with the home we have chosen.

What an extraordinary and wonderful place, the staff are truly exceptional, they are all very warm, friendly and genuinely engaged in the residents' lives, and do all they can to ensure they are happy, content and well taken care of, it's a joy to visit my 80-year-old mom here. She is always well-kept,
clean and showered, well dressed, and her apartment is always immaculately clean, she is well looked after with the many teatimes, and delicious meals brought to her room. We all enjoyed the recent open day, where mom happily sat and watched the live music, raffles, and BBQ, and even joined the Conga Line. Thank you so very much to all of the wonderful staff, mom's happiness means the world to us.

My mother has been at Ferendune Court for 8 months now, and we are very happy with her care, and with all aspects of the care home.
We have had a couple of family meals there (the latest one was yesterday, with 6 of us joining my mum for lunch) and we have been made very welcome. The staff have been
so kind and efficient in organising rooms and tables for us. Also, the meals have been delicious.

My wife was discharged from the hospital to a placement at Ferendune in July. When she arrived she had severe mobility issues. Within a week with the help and encouragement from the carers she was walking around with very little help. As well as the in-house activities she is regularly taken out for
coffee mornings and has been to the seaside. I couldn't wish for better care and knowing that she has settled well into a safe environment is a great comfort to me. The management and administration are excellent.

My mum has been living at Ferendune Court for a couple of years now. She is very happy there and is looked after very well. The home is very clean, tidy and welcoming, I am also informed of any health concerns immediately by the caring and friendly staff there, my mum enjoys all the activities and outings
that are arranged by the home, and the food there is of good quality and she can choose which she prefers to eat they have sample plates from which the residents can see which meal they would like, this is a brilliant idea as it gives everyone a choice of food because they can see what they are eating! My mum has settled into care very well and because she is in an area she knows makes it even better. It is very reassuring to know that my mum is looked after and cared for so well, and would not hesitate to recommend Ferendune Court.

Fabulous, kind, professional, and thoughtful care. Mum was at Ferendune Court for about 15 months, and her care was exemplary from the minute she arrived there right up to the moment of her death at the end of February. I couldn’t have wished for more.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.748)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.748) out of 10 for Ferendune Court 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 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.748 for Ferendune Court is calculated as follows: ( (268 Excellents x 5) + (61 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 341 Ratings = 4.748
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ferendune Court is based on 28 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6, which has been reached with 28 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.
