Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
What a beautiful place it is everything has been thought of for the comfort of the residents. My husband was in the care home for a week's respite. I know how testing he would be for the staff as he has alzheimers. He was well cared for. I enjoyed my rest and hope to return him again in the near future.
Reply from Gillian Allatt, General Manager at Fairfax Manor Care HomeThank you for taking the time to review our home. We are glad you enjoyed your break and look forward to welcoming you and your husband back in the future.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Fairfax Manor is a gold-standard care home. It looks like a five-star hotel but has the warmth of a family home. I cannot speak highly enough of all the staff that work there, they all show such compassion and caring towards all the residents and create such a happy environment. My mum has lived there
for six weeks now and is just so happy when I ask her if she likes living there she always says “I love it”! Both me and my brother are so pleased that she is being so well looked after. I cannot speak highly enough of the lovely place but most of all the truly dedicated, caring staff. Exceptional!
Reply from Gillian Allatt, General Manager at Fairfax Manor Care HomeThe team were delighted to receive your review, thank you so much for your wonderful review of our home. We are thrilled with how well your mum is enjoying her new home.

Very clean and well-designed. The staff couldn’t be more accommodating and friendly. The home is always buzzing and all service users are made to feel a part of it as much or as little as they like. Just a warming bright atmosphere. It’s a pleasure to visit.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.865)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.865) out of 10 for Fairfax Manor Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 44 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 44 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 4.865 for Fairfax Manor Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (462 Excellents x 5) + (53 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 524 Ratings = 4.865
  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 Fairfax Manor Care Home is based on 44 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 90 registered maximum number of service users is 18, which has been reached with 44 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.

Sharon Oldfield

Job Title: General Manager Joined: 2025

I am delighted to be at Fairfax Manor as Home Manager. With a background in both the NHS and Social Care sectors since 2009, I bring extensive experience in leading and developing high-quality care services.


Before joining Fairfax Manor, I managed a 100-bed care home in the local area, where I was proud to support the team in achieving a CQC Outstanding rating in the domains of well-led, caring, and responsive.


I hold a Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management in Social Care and have been honoured with both regional and national recognition, including awards for Front Line Leader and Regional Registered Manager.


I am passionate about creating a safe, compassionate, and responsive environment where residents feel valued and supported. I believe that well-trained, happy staff are at the heart of excellent care, and I am committed to ensuring both residents and colleagues flourish here at Fairfax Manor.


Outside of work, I live in Harrogate with my husband of over 30 years, Paul, along with our two grown-up sons and a lively mix of pets. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends and feel very fortunate to love the work I do every day.
