The Firs Care Home with Nursing

Mum was admitted on 5th February. Prior to that we made two visits to the home and the staff were very helpful and welcoming to us. Mums admission went well and she has a lovely room with some of her own things to make her feel at home. She has settled in well. We are very impressed with the atmosphere of the home which feels "homely" and not in a institution. The staff are caring and appear to be interested and enthusiastic in their work. We have attended a meeting of staff and carers and are impressed with their plans for the future. They have even taken everyone to a tea dance which was enjoyed by all. We feel mum is having the best of care.

My father has been a resident at The Firs for a while now. He is settled and happy and we can all tell this. The staff are all warm and friendly and professional, and we are happy as a family that dad is safe and happy. Keep up the good work!

We looked at many care homes before we found The Firs. The warm welcome, friendly atmosphere and happy residents said it all. Mum and dad settled straight in and soon became part of a new and very large family. Mum passed a few days ago and the staff and management have been amazing. They have looked after dad like he was their own father, lifting his spirits when they can, and taking time to sit and listen when dad wanted to talk. Everyone from the domestics to the management are lovely and do their job with a smile. This is the perfect place for dad.

My mother has been a resident at The Firs for two years and in all that time she has been shown nothing but love, care and understanding. Her dementia can make her difficult to deal with at times, but the care shown by some staff in particular has been outstanding.

I have been at The Firs Nursing Home a few months and at first found it a struggle to live with other people (lived with my brother before) Now I have settled I am very happy here the staff are wonderful and enjoy my meals very much. I feel safe and when I need someone staff are there for me and nothing is too much trouble. Activities are very good in the home, I don't take part in many I like my own company but I watch what is happening and everyone seems to enjoy taking part.
