Could not have asked for a better home for my Granny. The staff are so kind, helpful and clearly care about their residents. Honestly 10/10 in every way! My Granny is content and happy and that's all we could ever have asked for with the transition. My Grandads always made welcome when he visits daily and he couldn't speak anymore highly about Ferndown Manor himself.
Thank you for your wonderful review, it is so lovely. We're delighted to hear that your Granny is happy and settled at Ferndown Manor. Your kind words about our caring team mean so much, and we're pleased that your Grandad always feels so welcome during his visits. We are so very fond of them both and your family. Thank you again and we hope to welcome you back soon.

All staff have been friendly & really helpful. From my first enquiry at the home for my mum's potential residency (when she was still in hospital), Donna has been excellent - both attentive & reassuring. I am so reassured that mum is safe and looked after well at Ferndown Manor.

Cherry recently moved from another care home to Ferndown Manor. The support and care received has been wonderful. She has settled in immediately and considering she has dementia is very comforting. She loves the activities and has actually improved cognitively. She has made lots of friends and she appreciates the lovely surroundings. It's such a relief to know she is well cared for and I don't have to worry about her wellbeing.

The friendliness of the staff, the lovely environment, and the welcoming ambience. I particularly wanted a care home that felt more like a small hotel with no 'institutional' look and feel. In short it felt right here.
Mum's room is lovely - a good size, quality furniture, warm and welcoming. We were encouraged from day one to bring in pictures and photos which were put up on the wall immediately. On our first day, we had visits from Activities to learn more about mums interests and tell us what was on. The chef even visited to tell us all about the menus and learn of any personal wishes. The food is great quality and varied.
Mum has settled in well. She loves the staff and lights up when she sees them. They are so caring and make all the residents feel special. It's a wonderful care home!

I joined Ferndown Manor in 2021. Before I joined Care UK I worked as a Home Manager for several care homes, and before that, I worked as a District Nurse Manager for 20 years.
I decided to join Care UK as the company was highly recommended and its values reflect how care should be delivered and how I would want to be cared for.
In my role as Home Manager, I want to ensure the home remains a happy, safe place where residents thrive, and the team is proud to work. I want to ensure the highest standards of care are maintained. To succeed in this role, you need to be a good listener, be empathetic, have strong leadership skills, and be a good role model.
Walking around the home first thing in the morning is my favourite part of my job as it gives me an opportunity to greet every member of staff and residents. I also love to see the atmosphere when residents are enjoying positive participation in fulfilling activities.
My biggest professional challenge so far has been taking a home from an Inadequate CQC rating to Good.
