I can honestly say it was perfect and I would have no hesitation in going there again
Thank you so much for this wonderful review. We know that a first respite stay can feel daunting, so we are thrilled that our team, facilities, and residents made you feel right at home. Providing first-class care, great food, and plenty of laughs is exactly what we strive for. It was an absolute pleasure having you stay with us.
We came for lunch today as my husband is coming back for respite soon. Wonderful welcome and staff remembered him. It's a lovely environment and he's happy to stay again we were served a lovely lunch.

Fountains is a caring environment. The staff go out of their way to care for the residents. The home organises many social activities and outings in their minibus. The building itself is purpose built and it and the extensive gardens are well maintained. My Father in Law has been there for two years and counts many of the staff and residents as friends.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review, your kind words truly mean a lot to us. It is a pleasure to have your Father in law here.

As Maureen's sis-in-law, I found Fountains to be a very good residential home. The staff without exception have been so lovely, and the home is always very welcoming. There has been an ongoing issue with food, which I have to agree has not been good. Food is very important to residents as it is to everyone. This has gone on for a long time, but now there is a new chef, hopefully this will improve.
Always get a great reception from Nikki and Vicky who are always extremely helpful.

The care staff, housekeeping, kitchen, groundsmen, office staff give 100% to the residents. Their compassion and empathy to both residents and family is genuine. They show they care! However, as a company the people at the top need to realise residents and family chose Barchester for its family ethos, each home different to cater for needs of the residents, suddenly this has changed. Now looking more corporate, looks being more important than residents choices. This was not the original Barchester ethos!

This was my mothers second respite stay. Although she cannot remember it now she very much enjoyed herself at the time and the staff are very caring and considerate of her problems. We will be using Fountains again regularly throughout the year.

I recently changed my role from Housekeeper to Activities Coordinator, which allows me to create fun and engaging experiences for our residents. I joined Barchester in January 2022. After caring for my mother for four and a half years, I was inspired to work in the care industry.
I find it incredibly rewarding to see residents enjoying activities, building friendships, and making happy memories. Being able to bring a smile to someone's face and make a positive difference to their day is one of the most fulfilling parts of my role. In my spare time, I enjoy making art, cooking, listening to music, and going to concerts.
