Review from Sarah B (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 June 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mother has been a resident of Fountain Nursing Home for six and a half years due to dementia and the care has been exemplary. She has been one of the more challenging residents, however Fountain have managed her condition admirably. The staff are always friendly and welcoming and deserve nothing but praise for their efforts. Thank you very much.

Overall Experience
My brother was very happy here. The care he received was kind and gentle. The staff cared about his interests and decorated his room accordingly. The atmosphere was calm and caring. He was always clean and well dressed and available to talk when I telephoned.

Review from R A (Daughter of Resident) published on 31 March 2023 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
We were so anxious about finding a care home for my dad, he needed 24-hour care for dementia and was immobile. From the very first day he was moved from hospital until the day he passed away, the staff were exceptional. Although he was nonverbal, the staff always chatted away with him. Every care was taken to ensure he was treated with respect and even though he was mostly unresponsive, he still received Christmas presents and a card from the home. My dad loved his music and the staff made sure his CDs were played for him every day. They made the most difficult time in our lives as easy as it could be and we can’t thank them enough.
