Fernwood provides person-centred care for adults living with complex needs related to mental health, neurological, and physical health conditions.
The home has two 14-bed units, each with a shared kitchen, dining area, lounge, and quiet space.
Residents also benefit from shared facilities, including a therapy kitchen, activity room, accessible garden, and sensory areas designed to support therapeutic engagement.
Stanley Unit supports older working-age adults living with complex needs arising from mental health or neurological conditions such as acquired brain injury and dementia, who may display behaviours of concern beyond the scope of mainstream providers.
Chipperfield Unit supports adults living with complex physical health needs - often related to the later stages of neurological conditions - who require ongoing, multidisciplinary support.
At Fernwood, people are encouraged to lead their own routines and work towards personal goals - whether that’s rebuilding daily living skills, developing independence, or gaining confidence in social situations.
The team includes experienced mental health and general nurses, as well as care and support staff trained in positive behaviour support.
They offer more than traditional nursing or residential care, combining clinical expertise with meaningful daily engagement, helping people enjoy a better quality of life.

My husband of 60 years has spent the last 4 years suffering from dementia and several physical conditions. His life has been appalling because of the lack of care made available to him and I have looked after him myself. Suffice to say that I have made 4 complaints to the council, one of which was sent to the ombudsman and found that they had been totally negligent. I had never heard of Fernwood until it was recommended to me because of their ability to address complex conditions. Against social services wishes he has gained a placement there. This is the happiest time he has had, because every member of staff is so caring, knowledgable, and professional. Not only that; from the top management down to staff with lesser duties there is an absolute kindness from everyone, not just to their resident but also their families. My husband was very wary of a Care home place; I told him he could go home and I will take the place! We have both received outstanding care.
Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt review. We're truly honoured that you chose Fernwood for your husband's care and that both of you have felt so supported by our team. Hearing that he is happy, settled and receiving the compassionate care he deserves means so much to us. We'll be sure to share your kind words with the whole team. Thank you for placing your trust in us.

Our son was at Fernwood for many many months, He passed away February 2026. Whilst at Fernwood he received such wonderful care and it was his home his adopted Fernwood family he used to say. The staff were so caring, friendly and committed to their work. He was recovering so well until unfortunately he took a turn for the worse over just a few days. He would have wanted me to inform as many as possible how wonderful Fernwood is and I am doing so for him. Fernwood should be recognised for the loving caring home it is. Excellent, wonderful and compassionate.
We're deeply sorry for your loss and thank you for taking the time to share such a heartfelt review.
It means so much to hear that Fernwood felt like home to your son, and that he considered the colleagues and residents there to be his extended family. Knowing that he felt cared for, supported and valued throughout his time with us is something our team will be incredibly proud of.
