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.

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.
Reply from Jacob Hardie, Design and Marketing Assistant at Furzehatt Residential and Nursing HomeThank 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.

We had a very negative experience of this place for the care of my nan who was here for 4 weeks. Would not recommend to anyone. 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 that.
In the first week dad said 'I love it here' and that was enough for us. The staff are all wonderful and really do care for the residents. Lots of activities to join in and we have now become part of the Furzehatt family!
Thank you, Sandra, Debbie and to each and everyone of you X
Reply from Jacob Hardie, Design and Marketing Assistant at Furzehatt Residential and Nursing HomeThank you for sharing such heartfelt feedback.

I can't thank the staff enough for the incredible care they've given my dad. From the moment he arrived, they made him feel truly welcome and comfortable. What stood out most was the time they spent getting to know him personally, they were genuinely interested in his life story and history, which meant
so much to him and to us as a family. Their kindness has made all the difference to dad as he adjusts to moving into care, he is very happy and so complimentary of the staff. Highly recommend this care home for anyone looking for compassionate, person-centered care.

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.

Mum continues to be car e d for with compassion and respect. The cleaner just popped in to do an afternoon clean, and table wipe down. She came quietly into the room, said hello to Mum and asked if it would be okay for her to vacuum and wipe down the services. This demonstrates such respect for Mum
as an individual, even when asked to look out for the crumbs under the bed, " that I've put down for the birds" . Reassurance that she would and not to worry ill sort it.
This is just one snippet of the care that Mum receives, she varies in her understanding of what is happening from day- to- day. Sometimes actively disengaging from care. All of this is taken with calm respect.
The Furzehatt Team are great, keep doing what you are doing, you are five star!

My friend came to Furzehatt Nursing Home in January 2025. She was in a very frail state, confused, weighed 6 stone and could not walk unaided. Within 5 months, she was able to walk on her own and had gained a stone in weight. All down to the nursing staff.
Everyone was very kind.
My one complaint
would be the laundry. Although everything was clean, not all of my friend's clothes were returned to her room.

Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
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.

I'll start with some positive feedback. Some staff- caring and kind. Some good activities.
Many staff appeared not to want to be there. Poor attitude.
If your loved one is on the residential side, you may find this home acceptable. If on the nursing side, possibly not.
If activities are top of your
list, you may love it here, but if you want expert, kind nursing care, this home may not meet expectations.
Our experience of the some of the nursing care was severely lacking. Certain staff rude, dismissive, unprofessional and bordering on cruel, from what we experienced. We left because of this lack of proper nursing care.
Issues raised with management were not taken seriously.
Now we have found a home that provides exemplary care, we can make a comparison and realise how poor it was at Furzehatt. In our experience.
If you end up placing a loved one here, pay close attention. All is not as it seems. In our experience.
Reply from Fae Doherty, Senior Marketing Officer at Furzehatt Residential and Nursing HomeWe'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 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.

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. Mum is now safe and well nourished, and that means a lot to me. The staff are great and all of them should be recognised for their fantastic work. Thank you.

My mum's time at Furzehatt care home, was like home from home with the added bonus of beautiful cooked meals 3 times a day, daily activities, weekly church services and much more.
That is before I begin on to the care and nursing team at Furzehatt, especially in the last two weeks before our mum passed
away. Mum was treated with the upmost dignity and compassion and the staff go up and beyond their job description in the care they all showed to our mum. This also went to us the family they looked after us so well too. If anyone is looking for care for a loved one, I couldn't recommend Furzehatt more. The cleaning team kept all the rooms immaculate along with all the communal lounges and dining rooms.
Thank you doesn't express enough what we feel for The Furzehatt team, from Management to all the carers, nurses, housekeeping, chefs and the wonderful reception team that always make you feel so welcome. Keep up the good work and be proud of your team.

    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, 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.

I work with my team to assist and care for our residents, to ensure their health and wellbeing needs are met. I have a very varied role and no day is ever the same.


I enjoy spending as much time with our residents as I possibly can and seeing them smile and enjoy their time with us, is so heart-warming.
