After making the difficult decision to move into a care home at the age of 88, my mum chose Horse Fair Care Home. Having all her faculties she checked out 7 establishments prior to her decision that Horse Fair ticked all her boxes. Mum remained there for 2 and a half years until her death. All the...
The staff all showed great respect and compassion both to mum and myself. Thank you doesn't seem enough.
Mum has been well looked after. The carers have been very kind and caring. Mum has particularly enjoyed the drumming and keep fit activities and the church service at Easter.

All the staff are welcoming and friendly. My mother-in-law is well cared for and enjoys it. She loves the staff and the activities are great and she likes taking part in them. The management team are amazing and I couldn't ask for better.

When visiting my grandma the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The care that is given to her is excellent and if there are any problems the managers deal with it professionally.

The home was lovely, clean and smelt really clean on first entering the home. Whilst sat with a resident staff were chatting to other residents and there was lots of rapport, respect and dignity.

Generally the standard of care is very good. As always some members of staff are more friendly and helpful. The staff do sometimes seem stressed and this can come over to the resident and make them feel uncomfortable. I have no major complaints and if I am concerned about anything I feel I can address it to the appropriate people and it will be resolved.
My nan has been living here for a few months and she has received the best care I could ask for. She settled in very well and makes herself at home. All the staff are welcoming and friendly.

We apologise if our activities ran too late for you, it is feedback that I will pass onto our activities team. Warmest Regards.

My mother has been a resident since January, 2017. Recently, mum has been unwell and the Horse Fair team have been wonderful. The staff are patient and kind with mum as well as supporting the immediate family.

My Nana moved into Horsefair Care Home in August. We have all been made welcome as a family and we couldn’t ask for better care for My Nana. She’s settled in so quickly and she is truly “at home” there.

Hello, my name is Sheryll and I'm the Client Liaison Manager at Horse Fair Care Home.
With over 20 years of experience in the care sector, I have a strong understanding of both direct care and leadership. My career began in hands-on roles before progressing into leadership positions that strengthened my skills in service planning, coordination, and quality assurance. I hold a Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Adult Care and a Level 3 in Business and Administration.
I joined Horse Fair Care Home in 2024, conducting pre-assessments and supporting residents and families with compassion as their loved ones transition into our care. I also work closely with the local community, leading engagement initiatives and events to build meaningful connections that enrich life within the home.
I believe in creating a supportive environment where every resident feels valued, every family feels reassured, and our community feels welcomed and involved.
