The care they give my father-in-law is fantastic. They always kept up to date with his care and give lots of information out. The place is always clean and tidy and all the staff are friendly when visiting.

My wife is extremely ill; I'm able to visit due to this. The girls have been amazing during the months that I have been visiting. Beautiful decorations and carers spending time with the individual people staying here. Visiting within the bedrooms due to a case of Covid19 on the premises. When I visit, it is necessary to wear a special gown, new mask and gloves to ensure safety. The nurses are efficient, kind and understanding. The carers are lovely with the patients. I'm limited with the short period of information due to the pressures of Covid19, but the foundations are well thought out and managed.

Staff and resident interaction is lively, lots of activities and information is displayed and the whole ambience is friendly and happy. Staff are very knowledgeable about my Auntys needs, likes, dislikes and abilities. Security is excellent. The food looks nice and smells good. My dear Aunty is very happy there. Thank you for looking after her.
All the staff were extremely caring for my Mum and showed exceptional kindness to her and my family during her last days. Thank you.

The staff and nurses tried very hard with my mother in view of her not wanting to live. I lost her on the 4th July 2014 and it was also a loss to them, their concern and sadness was evident. I couldn't have chosen a better place to assist my mother in her last days and also the love shown to me and...
I will always be thankful to them for their dedication to their jobs, I was made to feel very special also at all times. I'm so grateful for the last day of her life it was unbelievable how they helped me.
I come to The Firs to visit my mother who has been here for several months. This is a friendly, cheerful place for those with nursing needs and I always see the staff giving one to one care to the residents. Al in all, I am happy that mum receives the very best care.

Both my parents are residents of The Firs Nursing Home, they live in a double room. I cannot praise the staff enough, they are all friendly and caring. There is a happy atmosphere in the home and when we visit, we always feel welcome.

This is my first experience of a care home but when my mum came here in February she was looked after really well and all the family are made to feel welcome when they visit. The staff are really friendly and are always on hand to meet any of the resident's needs.

My mother was moved from hospital to the care home because of dementia problems. She was welcomed from the start with smiles and understanding of her needs. Having lived alone for 43 years this was a big adjustment for her but the staff helped her settle. There is always someone willing to smile and offer a cup of tea. As a family this is all new to us so we have been eased in too. To hand your mother over to others is never easy but at The Firs staff understand and help. We trust them.
Very good care, very helpful. Lovely staff.

I love the feeling of going home knowing that something that I have been able to do has had a massive positive impact on the people living in our home.
The residents drive my passion. I have so much love for them, seeing them smile and enjoy living at the home and being able to support people who are on end of life care, knowing that you have provided exactly what they have needed in that time.
I often forget I’m at work because it feels like home. The people around are like family and I love them all dearly.One day we will be old and I’d like to know that there is someone to fight for me the way I fight for them.

Hi, I’m Phoebe! I absolutely love having a good chat and getting to know the families and individuals that give us a ring. My goal is to make the process of finding the right home as easy and reassuring as possible.This is something close to my heart — I’ve had two of my own family members stay within our group, so I truly understand how important it is to feel confident and comfortable in your choice.
If you call us during the week, chances are you’ll get me on the other end of the phone. I’m always happy to answer any questions you have — and if I don’t know the answer right away, I’ll make it my mission to find out for you. I’ll be here for you every step of the way, making sure you feel supported, listened to, and at ease.
