Review from K D (Cousin of Resident) published on 28 February 2025 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
The staff at Fairburn Mews go above and beyond to take care of my cousin under very challenging circumstances as my cousin's illness is very difficult to manage, yet staff have managed to maintain the essence of his character, and always treat him with great dignity and understanding.

Review from Trisha W (Power of Attorney of Resident) published on 24 May 2024 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
The staff just get better and better. The standard of care is excellent. My friend has been living there for some years now and is happy. They have worked miracles with her, especially with such a complex diagnosis. I don’t worry about her as I know she is in the best hands. They are compassionate, understand clearly what each client needs are and attend accordingly. I feel very fortunate my friend was accepted there. They keep me informed and take onboard our wishes. They work with very difficult diagnoses but always show respect, and excellent care with dignity to each individual.

Review from Paul B (Husband of Resident) published on 25 September 2019 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
Very impressed with staff to staff, staff to resident interaction, noted on every visit. Very secure environment. Massively clean (smells beautiful too!). Rooms lovely. Needs of resident met - encouraged to do things/go into garden/grazing trays and drinks. Respect shown with care - intimate care required. Themed activities - signposted in advance. Enjoyed observing the French Day - great interaction with all parties.

Review from Desmond S (Brother of Resident) published on 24 August 2018 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My sister needs total care 24/7. At Fairbury Mews the staff treat her and the other residents like family. Personal care is always done with dignity and care. Entertainment is provided with craft and live shows, also trips out - shopping and theatre.
There is a large staff turnaround, but new staff are up to speed quickly.

Review from S P (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 July 2018 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
In the years my mother has been a resident she has always had her needs put first. All staff members treat residents and visitors with the utmost respect and care. My mum views Fairburn Mews as home which is the highest accolade a resident can give to those that care. As a family member, I feel that care, consideration, respect and safety is always the homes priority.

Overall Experience
My daughter has been at The Mews since 2009 and my son was here from 2011 until 2015 when he passed away with dignity and peace. This home is second to none. The care staff and management, nurses, domestics and cooks are so caring to the residents and families alike.
