A big thank you to you all for making a stressful and emotional decision a bit easier with continued support.

Approach since my mother-in-law has been in the home has been exceptional in all aspects of care, catering and general well being. All the nursing staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. My wife and I have visited several times during the period she has been in the home and each time she has been happy and at ease. It appears that her health has improved since being here.
Mum has settled in really well. I have every confidence that she is now safe and well cared for. She has stimulation and is far more involved than she was when at home.

My mum always maintained she did not want to go into a care home, so when her care needs increased and I had exhausted everything I could to keep her at home safely I visited 23 care homes, but became increasingly despondent I would not find the right home for mum. I then visited Ferndown Manor and was overwhelmed by the understanding, commitment and kindness shown by the team, in addition to the wonderful spacious but homely surroundings. My mum went for respite and settled better than I could ever have imagined due to the commitment of the team, and within a short time was asking if she had to leave. Mum is very happy, more active, social and her confidence continues to grow. I did not believe mum could ever be this happy and settled in a care home.
Additionally, the level of support given to me through this very difficult process has been exceptional.
Outstanding in all ways and a massive thank you to everyone at Ferndown Manor for making this possible.
My mother is registered as blind and they have gone out of their way to accommodate her needs.

This was a place of welcome, with excellent care. My friend has a lovely bright room overlooking the garden. I would recommend her if one can afford it.

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.
