Outside agencies were consulted appropriately and nothing was too much trouble. Rooms were comfortable and there was a high standard of cleanliness throughout the home. Kitchen staff made every effort to provide food appropriate for her needs to the point where the catering manager sought me out to discuss mums needs.
Thank you for telling us about the care at Fitzwarren House. It is lovely to hear that your Mother wanted for nothing and that the team were able to provide such a great support for her.

Both nursing and care staff, consistently did everything they could to make sure mum's needs were met. Unlike in her previous stay in hospital, she was treated like an individual old person with her own personality, interests and skills. The activities organiser went out of her way to ensure that mum used her decorative and craft skills, played the piano and was generally engaged. The Methodist Chaplain was always cheerful and energetic and mum enjoyed the services and her spiritual needs were also met. Thank you to all.
How wonderful to hear that your Mum was truly treated as an individual with her own personality and skills. It is great to know that she enjoyed the activities and felt that her spiritual needs were met by the chaplain. Thank you for taking the time to tell us about this, the team will be delighted to know they “got it right”

Absolutely amazing care, compassion and empathy for my dad. Although he was only here for a short time receiving end of life care. Dad was treated with the utmost respect at all times.

Background: my father has been living in this care home for nearly 3 years and has been very happy and contented with all aspects of the home over this time. He broke his hip in July 2015, the care manager and care assistant (SD) were wonderful with him whilst waiting for the ambulance.
On his return from hospital some 7 + days later he was confined to bed as the hospital had failed to mobilise him. He was put on a pain patch by the hospital which knocked him out - staff at the home had to now feed him. In December 2015 the patch was removed due to a medical review and dad became more aware of his surroundings.
Staff started to get him up and dressed, using the hoist and taking him to the day/dining room - something his family had given up hope of ever seeing again. Although he needs 24 hours care ever more he is now able to hold a sandwich and drink from a beaker - a miracle. This has been achieved by the kind care of staff especially the care manager who has been marvellous with dad.
Thank you for your lovely comments about your Dad's time at Fitzwarren House. It is great to hear that our team has been able to help him gain back some independence.

Overall, this is a warm, lovely, clean and caring care home. Couldn't ask for better.

The staff incredibly kind and conscientious when caring for my mother whilst she had a respite stay here. She has two live in carers at her house and I believe the staff did all they possibly could to ensure my mother enjoyed her stay with them nothing seemed too much trouble. They called me if they felt I needed to know about a change in mums medication and reassured whenever I asked questions about how they would be caring for mum before she went to the home. I cannot praise them highly enough.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review about the care and support your Mother received at Fitzwarren House. It is great to hear that she had such a positive respite stay with us and that you also felt reassured by our staff team. I will be sure to share your comments with the team who will be delighted by them.

When the decision was made for my Mother to go into a care home, the family was devastated. The weeks that followed were hard as we carried out the impossible task to find somewhere that was right for Mum. Then came the wonderful day we found Fitzwarren House. As soon as we walked in the front...
In the days leading up to her passing, staff showed genuine sadness and love towards Mum. Also, the family were fed, watered, hugged and listened to, which made this traumatic time so much easier to bear. We will be forever grateful to Fitzwarren House, that Mums last few years were made as comfortable as possible by these wonderful carers....who are worth their weight in gold.
