Review from L B (Sister of Resident) published on 23 May 2024 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My sister has lived at Fairwinds for over 8 years, in that time she has developed friendships with staff and other residents. We are kept in touch with activities through a regular newsletter, and Fairwinds has recently introduced us to the app so that we can share photos. As a family, we feel safe with the knowledge that she is treated with respect and that her likes and dislikes are acted upon. All the effort is made for her to have a comfortable and happy life.

Thank you for your lovely review of Fairwinds, we're so glad that you and your sister are both happy with the home. We'll be sure to pass your comments on to the team!

Review from Andrew T (Husband of Resident) published on 3 May 2024 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Fairwinds are providing excellent care and rehabilitation for my wife. The staff are brilliant and are always there when needed. She loves the food, which is of a consistently high standard. There are regular visits from the physiotherapist and the staff are very invested in the rehabilitation process, which is really assuring for all the family. The management team are very friendly and makes every effort to ensure everything is in place for my wife’s care.

Review from Mikey W (Nephew of Resident) published on 18 July 2022 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
I firstly just want to say a massive thank you to all the staff that work at Fairwinds, you are all amazing and I'm so great full for everything you do, special for my uncle and all the other residents. I know you all work super hard and all your best for my uncle and the rest of the patients. I would all so like to say a huge thank you to the staff for the other day when we took my uncle to the cinema, that was and is the highlight of the year if not years for me. My life is his, he's my everything and always will be, and finally would love to thank the admin workers, for the hard amazing work you do for all the staff and patients and for letting me have the best day in years I've had with him. When we went to the cinema that will be with me forever now. Ps. all my love and respect I have for all of you will be with me forever.
↩Reply from Jenna Wood, Marketing Manager at Fairwinds
Thank you for your amazing five star review of Fairwinds. We're so glad to hear about your cinema trip and that we could be part of your highlight of the year. I'll pass your review on to the team - it'll make their day.
