Absolutely pleased with the package of care received by my father over the past year. Even as he lost physical capacity he was treated so well. The social side of this care home is second to none. All the staff are so kind and friendly. Safe, clean, bright environment with a lovely secluded garden.

From the moment my husband moved into Ferndown Manor I knew I had chosen well. He was always kept neat and clean as was the home. He had clean white sheets and towels and the basin and toilet were spotless. The staff were caring and considerate of the gentleman he was. He enjoyed the food, and on occasion,
we ate together. Nothing was too much trouble. He enjoyed the activities the entertainment staff organised, always coming up with new ideas tailored to him. I couldn't have chosen a better place for him to end his life, surrounded by caring people in his own room overlooking the garden. Not only did they care for him but for me too. They included me in his life and were so compassionate when he passed.

This was a good experience for my partner having not been in respite care before. He was very well cared for in the two weeks he stayed. The nurses were amazing, very reassuring, and kind to him. The only problem with the TV not working properly is this is an item he likes to watch, my 1 suggestion
is that a satellite TV would be a better option as there is more variety of programs.

My friend was a resident at Ferndown Manor for only a matter of a few weeks and lately received end-of-life nursing care. She was treated with dignity and kindness. This same level of care and kindness was also extended to me by the staff when she passed away on Sunday afternoon, nothing was too much
trouble for them. Although it was only a short period I would not hesitate to recommend Ferndown Manor. As well as a very caring staff team the home is beautifully decorated and maintained, giving you a feel of home as soon as you walk through the door.

Review from Vicki C (Niece of Resident) published on 17 January 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Aunt came to Ferndown Manor 4 years ago. For the whole time she spent there she was very well cared for with a great deal of respect and patience by all the staff. Sadly she passed away just before Christmas but the care she was given during her last couple of weeks was exceptional - all the carers,
nurses and members of staff were so caring and kind to her and allowed her to pass away peacefully and with dignity. Ferndown Manor has a warm and caring atmosphere which is evident from the moment you step through the door. All the staff I met were always so kind to me and they were wonderful with my Aunt who could, at times, be challenging. She enjoyed the food there and the occasional activities she took part in - particularly trips out on the minibus.
Having lived independently on her own up until she had to move into the care home, it wasn't easy for her to adapt but all the staff gave her the respect and space she needed.

Review from Ashley A (Son of Resident) published on 16 January 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When my father entered Ferndown Manor with dementia we were very concerned about him and how frail, withdrawn and disinterested he had become. He could barely walk and had decided to stay in bed all day and his interest in food was non-existent. Due to the wonderful specialist care he has been given
by all the staff on Talbot, and indeed throughout the home, he has amazingly got his old spark back again. Within weeks he had gained strength and due to the tailored nutrition was eating again in small amounts which gave him the strength to get back on his feet.
We are more than delighted with Dad's progress under Ferndown Manor's expert care. From initial talks with managers to the amazing nursing staff on Talbot (every single one of you!) to the wonderful activities staff, housekeeping and the lovely receptionists, Ferndown Manor is truly an 'A team' We would highly recommend it to anyone wanting top-quality care for their loved ones.

My father-in-law has been at Ferndown Manor since December and I cannot praise everyone highly enough for their total professionalism, expertise and friendliness. This isn't just care, it's genuine care. People who love their jobs and it shows in the way they are with the residents treating everyone
with patience, kindness and respect. Dad has regained an interest in taking part in activities, he is gently encouraged with a range of meals and he has flourished under the care of all the Talbot staff. To add to this the support for our family has been amazing, communication is excellent and the standard of the facilities are second to none. Thank you all so much.

My mum has been in Ferndown Manor for one year.
Sadly, she passed away peacefully.
I cannot praise the staff for the care, kindness and support given to Mum and the care and support shown to her family enough.
All the staff are fantastic, friendly team - management, carers, activity staff, housekeeping,
kitchen staff, maintenance.
I would recommend this home (and it was my mum's home) to anyone, especially for residents with dementia.

Overall, I was very satisfied with the care my mother received at Ferndown Manor. The staff and carers were all very friendly and caring and treated my mother with respect and dignity - they appeared to be very fond of her. A special mention must go to the "activities team", who worked so hard, with
what appears to be unlimited enthusiasm, to engage and include every resident in the wide range of activities provided each day.

I can’t say thank you enough to the whole team at Ferndown Manor.
Mum’s journey into care hasn’t been easy and every day has brought about new challenges as Mum and everyone supporting her has had to adjust to her needs.
Having a caring outlook but more importantly flexible approach has made things
so much easier.
Needing care impacts everyone not just the person in need of care and I have found everyone very supportive, no question is too daft, no request for information is withheld and Mum has at all times received the very best of care again thank you.
The facilities are excellent and the rooms clean and modern in all aspects and the welcome is always warm and friendly.
Mum has always been social and enjoyed her food and making new friends and she continues to do so at Ferndown Manor.
Communication outwardly is excellent and it reassures the wider family that she is being loved and cared for.
You are an amazing team.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My aunt was a resident at Ferndown Manor for almost three years.
None of our small family live locally but Dorset was where she wanted to stay, so we have had to rely on the care of the excellent staff to look after and support her when we were too far away to visit regularly.
My aunt was very contented
in the time she was there and spoke highly of the staff and their kindness.
We were always kept well informed about her welfare which was much appreciated.
The home is exceptionally clean, light and airy, with nice fittings and decor. There was always a friendly reception and a welcoming environment.
The weekly activities are amazing! Plentiful and varied, I was very impressed the number of outings that took place too, almost weekly! Animal visits were always enjoyed too, she loved those.
Her clothing was very well-laundered and cared for.
All the staff I have ever spoken to or met were extremely kind, respectful and patient.
Highly recommended.

I stayed at the care home in Ferndown for two weeks of respite from 16th-31st August 2023. This was the third time I had chosen to stay at this particular care home. There is such a welcoming and friendly atmosphere that you are put at ease straight away. The staff are very approachable and would deal
with any request, however difficult, straight away. Meals were interesting and varied with plenty of choice. For those who wished there were various activities and trips out provided.
I enjoyed my stay as I was able to rest and catch up with some reading. My family were able to come and visit whenever they wanted, it was pleasant and peaceful.
Thank you, it was just what I needed. Thank you to all the excellent staff.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.714)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.714) out of 10 for Ferndown Manor is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.714 for Ferndown Manor is calculated as follows: ( (306 Excellents x 5) + (96 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 413 Ratings = 4.714
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ferndown Manor is based on 35 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 75 registered maximum number of service users is 15, which has been reached with 35 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Home Manager

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.
