With an excellent reputation for the high standard of care, the long-serving team at Furzehatt are passionate about enriching the lives of their residents. Providing residential, dementia, nursing and palliative care, they also offer respite care breaks.
There are so many activities to enjoy, from baking, yoga, animal therapy and music sessions, to gardening, indoor bowls, church services, games, a book club and crafts.
The community is embraced into life in the home, with regular volunteers enjoying activities too, as well as local school children and college students. The home also has a piano for music sessions.
This summer the team completely revamped the gardens ‘Ground Force’ style! The makeover looks beautiful, with two water features, a tortoise garden, home to Malcolm and Murtle and a new herb and vegetable garden.
The residents have enjoyed growing their own herbs and vegetables, which the chef used in the kitchen, giving them such a sense of achievement.
And the home-cooked cuisine is a real highlight, with everything from roast dinners with all the trimmings to fish and chip Fridays, and home-baking for afternoon tea.
The team champion their residents to have a very active role to play in how their home is run. There are resident ambassadors, who do everything from interviewing potential staff, to showing new residents and their loved ones around their home.
There are so many homely spaces to relax with loved ones, who are welcome at any time, from welcoming lounges and quiet spaces, to a conservatory overlooking the gardens. There is also a hair salon, for regular appointments with a mobile hairdresser. And a chiropodist also visits monthly.
Furzehatt also has a private family and friends Facebook page, with regular photos, videos and updates on what the residents have been enjoying doing.

Our family cannot thank Furzehatt enough for their exemplary care and support during my dad's end of life care. As soon as dad was told it was end of life care, the home immediately called to say he could come back home to die. My dad was over the moon to hear that, as he really did not want to die...
The staff really went above and beyond in their dignified care of my dad and their outstanding support for my brothers and I. What was a very sad time was made so much easier by their amazing care. Thank you to everyone at Furzehatt.
Thank you for sharing such heartfelt feedback. We're delighted your dad was able to return to Furzehatt and spend his final days in the comfort of familiar surroundings. It means so much to know our team could support both him and your family with compassion, dignity and care during such an emotional time.
Mum has been at Furzehatt Care Home for almost two years. It is a great relief to know that she is so well cared for, staff know her well. She is treated with respect and her dignity is upheld with sensitivity. Mum varies in her ability to engage in care and activities within the home. No matter...
I couldn't single out a carer, its a team effort, they are the best.
Thank you for sharing such kind feedback. We're delighted your mum feels respected, comfortable and well cared for, and that our team's kindness makes a difference every day. Your words mean a great deal to us all.

My mother in law entered the home in a confused and emotional state. She was treated with care and respect from the beginning. Eventually, she gained weight as she really liked the food, regained her health, and became more mobile. Moved from nursing care side to residential side, joined social groups (knit and natter) and made a few close friends. She also made good relationships with the staff. She sits out in the garden on sunny days and loves afternoon tea with cake! Her medical needs are met promptly and with care.
Thank you for sharing such thoughtful feedback. We're delighted to hear how your mother in law has regained her health and confidence, and that she feels comfortable, supported and engaged in daily life. It's wonderful to know she enjoys the food, friendships, garden time and social activities, and that her care needs are met with kindness and respect.

I come to this care home regularly with my son to participate in activities with the residents - by doing this we've built meaningful relationships and look forward to seeing one another. We have been in a few different lounges, all of which are clean and accessible. All staff even when passing through ie carers, chefs or management engage with all the residents. With previously working in care for many years I can see residents attended to when asked (toileting & food & drink options) as well as good moving & handling.
Thank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback. We're delighted to hear how much you and your son enjoy spending time with our residents and building meaningful relationships through shared activities.

The care provided was not adequate & we had numerous concerns regarding the care of my nan who was non verbal and needed support with eating, drinking, washing, bathroom etc.. her needs were not met.

I cannot praise the team enough for welcoming both my dad and us as a family. Dad has been here 4 weeks now and it was the hardest thing to hear from the hospital that dad wouldn't be coming home. The reassurance we received from staff on the first day was immeasurable and I'm truly grateful for...
Thank you, Sandra, Debbie and to each and everyone of you X
Thank you for sharing such heartfelt feedback. It means so much to hear how warmly your dad and your family were welcomed, and that he has settled so well. Knowing he feels happy and cared for truly means a great deal to the whole team.

All the staff and managers have worked incredibly hard over the Christmas period to make it a wonderful time for the residents. (which it was) I cannot fault the home at all and I would be happy to recommend the home to anyone, my husband has been there for nearly 2yrs and now calls the place his home which is so reassuring for me as I know that if I can't go in he will be looked after, I wouldn't want him to be anywhere else.
Thank you so much for sharing such a heartfelt review. We're delighted to hear that the festive period was special for your husband and that he feels truly at home with us. Knowing that you have peace of mind about his care means everything to our team.
I'm writing this review on behalf of my husband Arthur. I can genuinely say my overall experience has been very positive from the management down to the domestic staff. I would not hesitate to recommend this care home.

The staff have gone above and beyond to organise a family get together, providing a private area where Frank could spend some quality time with his family. The staff always have a smile for all the residents, and organise lots of activities for them. Lovely!

I cannot praise all the staff at Furzehatt enough for making the care home such a caring, friendly and sociable place to live. It makes me very happy knowing my friend is now living in such a wonderful environment and being cared for. The team at Furzehatt organise lovely activities for the residents especially now leading up to Christmas. My friend has always been very sociable and therefore is enjoying all the activities that Furzehatt arrange. They are also very friendly towards residents friends and family and actively invite them to all their social events. Thankyou Furzehatt.

Thank you so much for your kind words. It's truly heartwarming to hear how much joy your visits bring to our residents. Moments like these make such a meaningful difference, and we're so grateful to have you and your little one as part of our community.
My one complaint...
My one complaint would be the laundry. Although everything was clean, not all of my friend's clothes were returned to her room.
Thank you so much for sharing your friend's journey with us. It's truly heartening to hear how much progress she's made with the support of our dedicated team. We're saddened to hear about the issue with laundry and appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Feedback like this helps us continue to improve every aspect of our care.
Nice veneer, but underneath there are, in my experience, fundamental issues of concern. Observed one staff member bully and chide a resident for their disability. The same staff member (right in front of me) also completely dismissed requests for advice and assistance from two carers trying to...
Nice veneer, but underneath there are, in my experience, fundamental issues of concern. Observed one staff member bully and chide a resident for their disability. The same staff member (right in front of me) also completely dismissed requests for advice and assistance from two carers trying to assist my loved one in a manner which was both completely unprofessional and bordering on spiteful in my view. Some really good staff there, however, but sadly a lot seem to have moved on in recent times for reasons that I cannot share in order to respect their privacy. Whilst food and drink is available all day, main meals seem often not to be suited to the resident's dietary needs and eating capabilities. Care equipment found to be left blocking/impeding access routes that pose fall/trip hazards that even when pointed out kept happening. So much more, too. Good at presentation, actual content (care) less so. The resident cat is ace, though.

We're truly saddened to read this review for our home and that you felt your experience did not meet the high standards of care and compassion we are proud to provide every day.We're proud of the kindness and dedication shown by many of our team members, and we're pleased you found some of the activities beneficial. However, we're naturally disappointed to read your comments about aspects of our nursing care and team.
All the staff are friendly & helpful. The smell is pretty strong at times upstairs. The food needs to be catered for elderly people - not pizza and beans or salads, most can't eat it, old-fashioned cottage pie, onions, fish pie, etc, 1970's food and cups of tea and coffee throughout the day...
All the staff are friendly & helpful. The smell is pretty strong at times upstairs. The food needs to be catered for elderly people - not pizza and beans or salads, most can't eat it, old-fashioned cottage pie, onions, fish pie, etc, 1970's food and cups of tea and coffee throughout the day whenever they want one. Let people know who's working the shift, and give a menu on a regular basis to those who can't get downstairs; also, sometimes they just want a little bit of company.
Thank you so much for your feedback. We're delighted to hear that our team made a positive impression. We take every comment on board and will carefully consider your suggestions as part of our ongoing commitment to providing the highest standard of care. Your input is truly valued and appreciated.

Mum has been a resident at Furzehatt for 16 months. From the day mum arrived, she & my brother & sister have been treated with the utmost respect. Mum is very happy and always speaks highly of all the staff. In her words, "can't fault the place". As a family, we are extremely grateful for the care provided to Mum. Nothing is too much trouble.
