Fernhill

Taking Mum from her own home to Fernhill was emotionally difficult for me, although I knew it was by far the best for her. The staff at the home were kind, understanding and very patient with me, more especially the two ladies in the reception area. They ensured the transition went as smoothy as possible taking mine and mums feelings into great consideration. I can not thank them enough. Mum has now settled and is happy. I know she is being well looked after. Thank you so much to the Fernhill Staff.

My mother is happier and more active than she has been in years. The staff cannot be praised too much.

It was apparent from chatty staff and mothers response she is very happy and cared for. Mother even said she is happy and loves her surroundings, she is more active than she would have been at home.

Everyone is so friendly and helpful, greeted us like old friends when we returned! The residents seem to be very happy as they are treated so well by the staff. The residents are taken out on interesting bus rides etc and they enjoy the visiting entertainers - especially the musical ones.

I would highly recommend.

Management and staff very very helpful.

Fabulous, caring staff. Kind and generous. Dad is very happy and it is a relief to know he is well cared for.

This was my husband's second visit for respite care. I feel confident leaving him there so that I can have a break. It is not easy to walk away even if it is only for two weeks but he does enjoy himself and loves all the good food that is available. I can also be included in some events and the coffee shop is a great place to have a chat.

I would recommend Fernhill highly.

All the staff were supportive and caring throughout her stay. Excellent communication with the family throughout her stay and short hospital stays. Plenty of activities and staff actively engaged

During all the time my sister spent at Fernhill she was treated with both kindness and dignity and all the staff went above and beyond what might be expected to keep her comfortable and pain-free during her last days.

Since my mother’s move to Fernhill, I have felt confident that she is being well looked after in a genuinely caring environment. All the staff are very friendly, professional and supportive towards both Mum and me and any new situation that has arisen has quickly been addressed to ensure Mum’s safety and comfort. Whenever I speak to staff, I have the sense that they really know Mum, understand the issues that affect her and by finding out more about her life, are keen to treat her as the individual she is. Thought is also clearly being given to how she is dressed each day, something that would matter to her. The home has a calm, relaxed atmosphere and always looks clean and well presented. The decision to move a loved-one into a care home is never straightforward but having found Fernhill I have been much reassured.

I wanted Mum to live closer to me now that she needed full-time care. After a long search. I chose Fernhill as Mum's new home. From the first moment I walked in, met the team, I knew Mum would be safe, treated with dignity, supported and encouraged to be her best self to enjoy life. I can truly say Mum has been the happiest I have seen her in years. Mum and I have always been treated with respect, listened to and action taken on any concerns or worries we have had.

On this visit all the staff I saw were very friendly and would answer any questions I had openly and honestly. My Mother and the other residents I saw are well cared for and any needs they had were dealt with quickly and efficiently. My Mothers room is very clean as are all the common areas. I am very glad that I chose Fernhill for my Mother to stay in.

My Husband is very well cared for in a lovely6 environment. All the carers are marvellous, the home is a friendly place, always making you feel welcome and nothing is too much trouble. There are some good activities and trips for all to take part in. The food and drink very good and special cakes for different occasions, all very good. It has been very comforting for myself and two Sons to see my Husband happy in his own way and settled in such a lovely place Fernhill.

Fernhill has been mum's home for the last 8 years in which time she has been cared for and looked after very well. The staff are dedicated and always very willing and kind. I have peace of mind when I leave that she will be loved and properly looked after. There is nowhere like home but this comes pretty close. Well done Fernhill.

They couldn't do enough, right to the end.

My first visit to Fernhill and an absolute pleasure to be there. The staff are very welcoming. Very relaxed and nothing is too much trouble. Such a lovely place and lovely surroundings.

Staff have always been very helpful.

I would certainly recommend Fernhill to my friends and family.
