My mum has been in Horsefair for nearly a year now. I always thought that it would be awful visiting her in a care home, but how could I have been so wrong. From the minute you walk in to the place, it's like walking into a hotel. The receptionist's always greet you with a smile on their faces and all the staff do an amazing job. When I visit it is like one big happy family and my mum has settled in so well. Thank you for looking after her.

My mother, stayed at Horse Fair Care Home, and I can't thank the staff enough for the wonderful care she received.

Mum has been in Horse Fair for 6 months now and in that time all the staff have been so helpful and understanding, not just for Mum but for the family as well.

I have stayed for lunch a couple of times and the food, cakes and coffee were amazing.
We are kept informed about Mum's care and any needs that crop up - we have a monthly residents meeting where I have the opportunity to discuss the activities at the home and the good work the staff do.

They could not of made us more welcome and supported all of us through this difficult time.
The rooms are nice and large with en suite facilities and since we added my mum's furniture and pictures in place it is now a home from home for her.
The activities and entertainment they provide daily is second to none, with staff constantly at hand.
My mum now feels safe and appears to be slot less stressed & seems relaxed than her last few weeks at home and in hospital.
The staff are all friendly and helpful and there is a real family environment, we would recommend Horse Fair to anyone.

This was a very painful experience for us to put Mum into a care home. With Mum suffering from dementia, she couldn't understand why this was happening to her which made this a very traumatic time for us all. The staff were so helpful, supportive and professional throughout the whole process and so caring and understanding to all of our requests. We cannot thank the staff enough. Such a wonderful support. Many thanks to all.

Residents with dementia seemed to be isolated on the top floor. I don't know if they were all allowed down into the garden in the nice weather. On the plus side, the artwork on his bedroom door, cycling which was his hobby when young. Also, labelling of clothes worth every penny of £25.
Thank you for sharing your observations regarding our dementia clients and their access to the garden. We truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us enhance the experiences we provide.

A lovely, welcoming place, interested in what Mom's hobbies, likes and dislikes were to make her staff more enjoyable and personal. Lovely rooms and a great menu for meal times. Mom will be very happy to stay again.

Thank you for inviting my parents along to the afternoon dream tea at Horse Fair last week. It was kind of you to remember them after my dad's respite stay with you last year, following an operation because of the amazing care at Horse Fair he was able to move to a new apartment to live independently with my mam. Hopefully, they can catch up with you all again soon.
It was an absolute delight to have your parents join us for cream tea. It was such a privilege to have dad stay with us after his operation, but even better to have helped towards getting him home to mum. They will always be welcome for a cuppa and cake. Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Best wishes.

The care, respect and credibleness from all staff at Horse Fair was outstanding towards my mom as she spent what was to be the last 4 months of her life. Unfortunately, not long after moving to Horse Fair, she was diagnosed with a terminal illness. Mom really enjoyed being at Horse Fair before her illness and during the darker times before her passing, the compassion, love and friendliness was out of this world. We wish Mom had moved there many months before.
Thank you for your kind words. It was our pleasure to care for Mom throughout her time with us and support you all through this difficult time. Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Best wishes.
My wife was very happy staying here which was a great relief to me, having to go away for a family bereavement. Particularly pleased to be invited to cream tea today and my wife enjoyed coming back. Also to sit a while in the garden.

My mother and I have just enjoyed afternoon tea at the care home. My mother has stayed there on three different occasions, she has always enjoyed it an all the staff remember her. They will always stop and say hello. I have always been very impressed with the care an activities provided. Many thanks to all the carers from maintenance, kitchen, office and of course the carers.

We cannot thank Horse Fair enough for all the help they have given us over the past 6 years with my stepmother. They are so caring and every member of staff knows her and cares about her welfare. Recently she had a fall and the team was so supportive and caring keeping me updated every step of the way as I live long-distance. They called the paramedics and kept my stepmother calm and happy throughout. They kindly escorted her to hospital to get checked out as we have no living relatives or friends nearby. They always go over and above the call of duty, one of the staff stayed with her all day, and even when they hadn't received ambulance transport back to the care home past 8 pm at night! We cannot thank you all enough for all you do for us and our stepmother. There have been many examples of this sort of care over the years and we are so very grateful. We are so glad we found the best possible care home for her. Thank you all.
Thank you for your kind words, they really do mean a lot to us, and have been passed on to the team. We know how hard it is for relatives when they live a long distance, and we are delighted to hear that you were kept updated throughout your stepmother's recent trip to hospital. You are right when...

Horse Fair, thank you so much. As a family we had to make the hardest decision of our lives, sleepless nights worrying over the heartbreaking decision that Dad at 90 was no longer able to give Mom the care she required and we were unable to be with her 24/7. Mom has Alzheimer's. Mom was offered a choice of 3 available care homes. We are so pleased that Horse Fair was one of them. As a family we are made to feel part of their family, the staff are so friendly and passionate. We can not believe how quickly Mom is settling in better than we ever imagined, she has made friends and complying with tasks we said she wouldn't allow. Food is very plentiful and residents all seemingly enjoy it. The staff are amazing truthful and reassuring. The overall feeling when you enter is this could be a hotel with a clean friendly atmosphere. We are so happy we found Horse Fare. We look forward to attending and supporting all activities in the future. You are all amazing caring people.

My wife was admitted into the care home as a respite resident in May 2023 but then became a permanent resident in September 2023. Since her initial admittance, she has received excellent care in all respects from a friendly and dedicated staff throughout the care home and this is reflected in my excellent rating in all options. As a regular visitor to the home, I see the dedication and professional care that is in place. We all know that there is no cure or going back for dementia so it is good to know that my wife is being given the dignity, respect, empathy and loving care that she deserves. God bless all of the staff and residents in this care home.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such amazing feedback about your experience of Horse Fair Care Home. It is an honour to have your wife here with us and always lovely to see you on your visits. I will be sure to share your feedback with the whole team and thank you again for taking the time to write a review. Best wishes Lisa
