My Dad was a resident at Fairlight for 6 months until his passing. The care and compassion that he received from everyone at Fairlight was second to none. As someone who works for the NHS, I can honestly say, like many of those who have left a review, I wouldn't have wished for my Dad to be anywhere
else during the last months of his life. The team are exceptional, especially three staff members in particular! Thank you for everything!
Reply from Sally Bell, Manager at Fairlight Nursing Home

I would like to take this time after sadly loosing my Nan which will always leave a big hole in my heart and all of Fairlight. A big thank you to everyone at Fairlight Nan very much appreciated each and everyone of you and saw you as family .
Your care is amazing and I couldn't have wished Nan to
of been anywhere else .
Even at Nan's darkest moments you supported her when I was not there so thank you again. It's never easy from one day to the next when you're waiting for your loved ones to come through the door to see you, but you all fill those gaps up and beyond. Big thank you once again.

Excellent Nursing Home very well managed and run, clean and tidy and welcoming. In particular, the carers were excellent, empathetic very kind to both my wife and our family. It gave us a lot of faith that my wife was being looked after so well.

Review from Lee A (Son of Resident) published on 16 January 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My late father was placed in the care of Fairlight as initially a respite when my mother's terminal illness meant she could no longer care for him in 2021. She was too frail to return home, and the Fairlight team agreed to accept her into the home for her final months in order that they could be together.
We were frequent visitors to the home, and the care provided to our parents was second to none. All staff took time to speak with and formed bonds with them. The whole team provided much support as our mother's health deteriorated until her death in January 2022, including support to us as we practically stayed at the home for her final weeks.
There is a very good range of activities, and these are run by a dedicated events team; this team were instrumental in supporting my father who had advanced Alzheimer's manage his grief too. Sadly Dad also died this year.
We would have no hesitation in recommending this lovely home to you.
Reply from Julia Tatranska, Manager at Fairlight Nursing Home

Thank you for your kind comment. I already passed this to all our staff looking after your mum and dad. This is very appreciated

Review from Susan S (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 August 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My father was put in Fairlight in Oct 2020. He didn’t settle in straight away and if it wasn’t for a few of the staff and nurses he wouldn’t have. He didn’t like the food much because he was a fussy eater who only liked traditional English food. He went in during covid, so until the Government eased
the rules of going in it was very hard for him but the event manager made it possible for a video call once a week so I could see him. My father passed away suddenly on 3rd July this year and I couldn’t fault the staff that was on duty when this happened. They were brilliant. My only disappointment with Fairlight is the owner. They did not offer any condolences to my family which I think is dreadful and then to top it all, five weeks after him passing I get sent an invoice for £5 for toiletries my dad had, bearing in mind my dad was not fully funded, he had to pay towards the home. I cannot fault the staff as I say they were brilliant but disgusted with the owner, it seems my late father was just a number!
Reply from Siobhan Wootton, Owner at Fairlight Nursing Home

Dear Susan,
I am very sorry for your loss. Fairlight Nursing Home employs a Family Liaison Officer and one of her roles is to pass on the home's condolences, on behalf of myself and all of my staff at these sensitive times, and she did on this occasion. In subsequent communications between ourselves, I did pass on my personal condolences to you for your father. In the 21 years I have owned the home I have never looked on my residents as a number and I have fond memories of all of them. I am always available if you wish to discuss any issues further with me.

My father-in-law was a recent resident and I and his family cannot say a big enough thank you for your excellent care and compassion you showed to both him and my mother-in-law during his short stay.
You made his last few weeks as comfortable and happy as you possibly could and you made his final journey
so peaceful for him. We wish to thank you all that took care of all his needs.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The staff are without exception very friendly and helpful, and some are particularly caring with my mother, and make her feel special. Food is very good. The rooms in the new wing are spacious and light, with doors onto a patio or terrace. Staff sometimes seem rather overstretched, and getting dressed
or undressed can be rushed and/or late in coming. The activities programme is very well run and offers something every day.

Current Review Score: 8.3 (8.349)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.349) out of 10 for Fairlight Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 out of 5 from 3 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 4.857 for Fairlight Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (30 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 35 Ratings = 4.857
  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 3.492 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Fairlight Nursing Home is based on 3 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 = 3.25
    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 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.4 = 0.242
  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.
