Ferndown Manor has fully come up to expectations after my first viewing at the open day a year ago. The staff are working tirelessly even though they are now short-staffed which I am assured is being addressed. Well done to everybody.

The atmosphere is always warm and welcoming which makes it a lot nicer for me and my nan. I couldn't imagine anywhere better. My mum spent months and months trying to find a place like this.
The home is very friendly. Staff are fantastic. Lovely to have a new modern, designed care home.

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.
We felt very much welcomed and reassured that my mum will be well looked after by the staff here.

Excellent home, got a taste of a 4* hotel. It seemed quite friendly as an outsider looking in. The gardens looked nice, and had a nice feel.

It is a nice clean home as it should be with only seven residents, hopefully this standard can be maintained when the home is full.

Mum has felt safe and well cared for. The food has been of a very high standard and this has motivated mum to eat (normally has a poor appetite). Her room was the standard of a 5* hotel, immaculately clean and all new furnishings, as indeed are the premises as a whole. Mum had the opportunity to go on trips and take part in activities. She was encouraged and came out of her room and engaged with the team and other residents. Having experienced other care homes, I cannot recommend Ferndown Manor enough. This absolutely offers the best care in the Bournemouth area.
This is my mum's second stay here and she is already settling in with much personal attention.

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.
