Thank you for your positive feedback and excellent scores, and particularly for your kind words regarding our team at Ferndown Manor – we’re very pleased that you and your aunt are happy with the home. You say that you have not been able to meet the home manager - we were surprised by this statement as the manager does have an open door policy and as home manager is always in and around the home making sure residents and the team are happy and supported – however, she would also be more than happy to arrange a meeting at a time that’s convenient to you. I would also like to reassure you that in regards to activities, although we’re very happy to have a new lifestyle lead recently join our team, that we have always had a full activities plan in place – this changes weekly and is in full display around the home, given to every resident, and sent out to families via email. In fact, we believe our activity programme is one of the best, and we’re proud that all our home team work together to make this happen. Our activities are planned and developed with residents, making sure they reflect their wishes and interests and include both group activities as well as one-to-one sessions. Recent activities have included visits from professional entertainers, school groups, art sessions, visits from PAT dogs and other animals (including alpacas, which residents loved), as well as regular trips out in our minibus. We’re very proud of our reputation for excellence (as evidenced by our recent carehome.co.uk Top 20 award), which reflects all the hard work of the team, as well as residents, to make Ferndown Manor one of the best care homes in the South West. Thank you once more for your recommendation of Ferndown Manor.

Thank you for taking the time to review Ferndown Manor, and in particular for your excellent scores which we’re delighted to see. In regards to your comments around continuity and the care team, I understand that a senior member of staff has been in contact and I hope we have been able to allay your concerns. I would like to assure you that the home manager, as well as the deputy manager, spend time on each suite in the home regularly, including with your loved one. As a new home we have also recently opened up a new suite in the home, and some of the team have moved across to the new area – this is to ensure that our experienced staff are available and supporting our new team members whilst they settle in – this also means that all residents have some familiar faces alongside our new recruits, whom we are sure residents will get to know quickly. I would also like to assure you that the home manager also operates an open door policy, so you are welcome to speak with her or another member of the management team if you have any questions, concerns or feedback at any time.

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.
