Mum has enjoyed the activities throughout October particularly the African drumming and Halloween party. It is good that she is able to choose which activities she joins in with. I am pleased that the staff encouraged her to take part. Mum is confident that when she needs help she will get it (usually). Mum does like some staff better than others and seems to have a good rapport with most.
It's wonderful to hear Mum has enjoyed the activities throughout October, and that she chooses what she would like to take part in with encouragement from staff. We are pleased to hear that she has a good rapport with staff. We hope Mum continues to join in the activities we have planned over the coming months. Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Best wishes.

We loved watching the birds in the garden with coffee and a cake in the summer, and most recently tonight the brilliant Halloween party, there are often events and activities going on that families and friends can join in with.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. It's wonderful to hear you find a friendly and welcoming atmosphere when you visit, and have enjoyed coffee and cake in our garden. It's great to hear you have also enjoyed the Halloween party and look forward to seeing you again. Best wishes, Lisa.
My sister's birthday (90) was made extra special because of your staff and carers, the food was extra special and so well thought out. The staff is so happy and always caring for patients and all the families when they come to visit. Extra special care home, a pleasure to visit.

It's always such a pleasure to have family and friends join residents to celebrate their birthdays, and an honour to be part of making it special. It was wonderful to see the smiles and hear the chatter and laughter. Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Best wishes.

My mum stayed at Horse Fair Care Home for a holiday stay. She is usually cared for at home with 24-hour live-in care. I was concerned about how she would settle and respond to moving into a care home even for a short stay. The staff couldn't have been more welcoming the activities kept mum occupied and in a social environment. The food was great and she really enjoyed the company. The home was always clean and in the main fresh-smelling. The lounge was divided into small groups of chairs which made it feel and look more homely and the dining room was bright and very welcoming. All in all, we had a great experience and plan for a more permanent stay in the future.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. It's wonderful to hear Mum received a warm welcome and took part in the activities that take place within the home. We are glad she enjoyed the food and company and we look forward to seeing her again.

Because my husband was called away on family business, I spent a week in respite at the home. While I was a bit anxious at the prospect, I need not have worried because the experience proved to be enlightening and gainful. The staff were all friendly and helpful. After some hesitation on their part, a few residents were quite friendly.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. It was a pleasure to have you stay with us and wonderful to hear you found the staff friendly and helpful. Best Wishes Lisa
Have used several times for respite. Mom is always happy to go. Staff are very welcoming. She is always well cared for and despite her dementia, looks very happy. Overall, as a family, we feel she is in a safe and happy, caring place.

Thank you for your feedback, David, we always look forward to Mum coming to stay with us.
Mum has come to the care home due to experiences at home. Mum has been supported with her care needs and her emotional well-being.

Extremely helpful care staff during demonstration and try out of new chair. They were willing, kind and full of advice, also patient and treated Mum with dignity while she deliberated and raised issues. On the same day, I witnessed the return of another resident from a hospital stay; she had the loveliest of welcomes and was visibly delighted with the fuss made of her.
Thank you for your kind feedback. I am delighted that the staff made time to make Mum feel comfortable and help her feel at ease. I will pass your kind words on to the staff. Best wishes.

I have nothing more to say than what an absolutely wonderful care home this is. From the first time she came to live here to the present time mum has had marvellous care, the staff are so compassionate and loving to her and all the residents.
They have seen mum at her worst when angry, frustrated, sad and not understanding her situation, to laughing with her and making her smile and laugh. They are always kind, loving and professional.
All resident's rooms have their own bathrooms, communal lounges and dining rooms are spacious and well-fitted. A lovely garden for sunny days with an aviary. Alpacas visited recently, a huge hit, also staff member's beautiful cat came in for cuddles, I would not hesitate to recommend Horse Fair, you will be welcomed with love and kindness by all staff.
Thank you so much for your heartfelt feedback, it is so warming to hear that even the little things go a long way and that you are so pleased with the care Mum receives. Thank you once again and we will share this with our team.

We chose Horse Fair Care Home for our mother because a relative had given us a good review from when their relative was in the home and our impressions when we visited to make our own assessment.
From the word go, we were very happy with the staff we met, the cleanliness and the quality of the room we were shown. Our first impressions were spot on, for the whole time our mum was with Horse Fair she was treated with kindness and with dignity, even though we know that as her dementia worsened she became very difficult. This made out lives so much easier as we knew that she was being very well looked after.
Thank you Horse Fair, from our family.
Thank you for such kind feedback, providing support for our residents is something that we always put at the forefront of what we do but also offering emotional support to relatives is also a vital part of the care we deliver. It is heartwarming to hear that as a family you also felt that support. Best wishes, Gemma.

My father moved from sheltered accommodation to Horse Fair Care Home in December 2022 due to mobility and other issues. He has settled in really well and myself and our family are very pleased with the care he has received at Horse Fair. The staff are kind and attentive and care for my father's every need. Compared to other care homes we have visited, House Fair is brilliant and I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending it to you.

Horsefair is lovely and clean, the food is excellent and plenty of it the laundry service is excellent too.
All of the carers are excellent in the way they care for the residents and go about their duties in a professional manner. This includes the senior staff and management too. Reception staff always have a smile for you and are very helpful to me.

My dad has been staying at Horse Fair since April and I am so pleased I chose this care home. Choosing the right home is very difficult but having looked at several in the area, I decided to try out Horse Fair for some respite stays which Dad enjoyed very much. Now a full-time resident, Dad has settled well and is very well-cared for. The staff are cheerful, attentive, caring and helpful. The lounge and dining areas are lovely, as is the garden which has an aviary which many of the residents love. There is an emphasis on socialising and interaction and Dad certainly loves the food! Covid safety procedures are in place and strictly adhered to which is reassuring. It is a huge relief to know that Dad is somewhere that is genuinely caring.
Thank you for taking the time to review Horse Fair Care Home in Rugeley. It is an absolute pleasure to care for your Dad. We are really happy to hear about the service and care Dad is receiving and that he has settled in so well. I will pass your lovely feedback on to my team. Best Wishes.
I was treated with great care by all the staff. If there should come on time when I cannot look after myself. I would be happy to come back.

Firstly, I deliver exercise sessions in this care home every Thursday.
As I visit a lot of care homes throughout the Midlands due to my work, Horse Fair Care Home is up there as one of the best I visit due to its happy and safe environment for both the staff and residents. Two staff members imparticular care assistant and the activities assistant are very helpful in getting residents prepared for my sessions. All residents seem to be settled within the care home and the atmosphere for my sessions is always great due to the staff's organisation and bubbly personalities.
Additionally, the Care Homes' handling of residents' safety is amazing. This is done by making sure all visitors and residents are signed in and out, a negative lateral flow test is presented on arrival, up to date with resident's covid jabs (seen this for myself in one of my sessions) and a temperature check is taken. To finish, all facilities are to a high standard and most importantly clean.

Mum went to Horse Fair Care Home for respite for six to twelve weeks. Unfortunately, her dementia had massively deteriorated in hospital and she stopped eating and drinking. Mum passed away on the 21st of March 2022. Mum was only in Horse Fair Care Home for six weeks but the love, care, tenderness...
The team of nurses, carers and staff are phenomenal and I would recommend Horse Fair Care Home to anyone whose loved ones who require care and/or stimulation. A wonderful place.
Thank you for taking the time to review Horse Fair Care Home in Rugeley. It was our absolute pleasure to have cared for Mum, although she was only with us for a short period of time, she really did become a part of the Horse Fair family. Thank you for your kind words, I will be sure to pass them on to the rest of the staff team. We wish you and your family all the best, Gemma.
