Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum was discharged to Fairway View on 2/11/2023. The staff and particularly management have been excellent in settling Mum in and also dealing with the family's expectations.
The team have shown genuine care and affection for Mum and has been very patient with me in adapting to Mum being in a care
home.
I feel very confident she’s being cared for. She says she’s happy there and I believe she’s been given a new lease of life. Thank you to all involved in settling my mum in and also the family!
I would highly recommend this care home.

I have found the atmosphere at Fairway View amazing for starters. They are extremely welcoming to visitors and make the visiting process an absolute joy.
I can't thank all the members of staff enough. My mum has settled in very well and I can see the attitude and professionalism of all the staff has
made this possible. Fairway View is a very special place.

After an accidental fall, Mum was extremely well looked after, also the staff were kind and attentive to me, offering refreshments throughout my time with Mum. Nothing was too much trouble whilst the staff waited for help from paramedics. 5-star service. Well done to all the staff at Fairway.

We've come to the end of a difficult year with Dad, a resident of Fairway View, sadly passing away over the Easter period, while Mum continues her residency at Fairway View. I cannot give enough thanks to the whole team for their kindness and unwavering support, not just since Easter, but always. Mum,
bless her, has her good and not-so-good days, but no matter what she is always cared for in the most kind and caring manner. Looking forward to Christmas, I'm sure it will be another cracker by the whole team.

I always enjoy visiting my friend. The staff are extremely friendly and professional. The home is always welcoming in decor and ambiance. My friend seems well looked after, and generally very happy. Would certainly recommend Fairway View and hope that all the staff feel proud of their contribution to
making residents' friends and family feel so reassured.

Ample parking space and disabled blue badge holders space. Situation of Fairway View is lovely next to a park and reception area is welcoming. Fire procedure signing in/out is required and necessary for health and safety legislation. All staff are kind, friendly and helpful. My dog was allowed in to
visit my auntie and she loved that. Hot drinks and biscuits were given to us visiting. The building is spotlessly clean. I used her w/c and reported to her how clean it was. She was delighted to know this. She spoke highly of the entertainment provided to the residents.

Review from Russell S (Son of Resident) published on 18 September 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has just passed away after spending four years in Fairway, living with increasingly severe dementia, later being confined to bed and needing her end of life care administered there. I thought it stood out from the crowd as outstanding in 2019, when my mum moved in, and everything I’ve seen
and experienced in the interim has borne this out. The overriding element is the quality and professionalism of the staff, the people who actually administer the ‘care’ part of ‘residential care home’. They are outstanding. They perform their duties diligently, responsibly and with real affection, as I’ve seen, to all residents, not just to my mum. They do this in, sometimes, the most difficult circumstances and in the face of the most challenging behaviour. I’ve not observed a single incident during the four years where I’ve had cause to question any of the actions I’ve seen. I unreservedly recommend Fairway View to anyone seeking a home for their loved one.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All of the staff are helpful and kind, and all seem to be happy in their work. The rooms are bright and a good size, and Mum's has a lovely view of the park. She is well looked after, and there is always an interesting activity on offer if she wishes to join in. She loves the food and regularly has
her hair cut and coloured and her nails done - for free. I know that the staff are busy, but I am confident that she is happy and well looked after.
Compared to other homes I have visited, Fairway View is calm, quiet and clean. I would have no reservations in recommending it.

Thank you so much for your lovely review and recommendation. All our residents deserve to be pampered, and it’s fabulous that your mum is taking full advantage! The priority for our team is always the well-being and happiness of our residents, and your kind words just go to show what a difference it makes.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Having had to move my father from another ideal care home, I wasn't sure about moving him to another. My fears were totally unfounded. My father has settled in extremely well and that has been down to the care and understanding he has received from the staff at Fairway View. From the management, the
front of house team to the team of carers everyone has been extremely kind, welcoming and understanding.
He really enjoys many of the activities that are put on at the home and certainly enjoys the food!
Because he is living with dementia he has behaviours that are challenging in the running of the home but the staff have demonstrated real empathy and understanding of his behaviours and have managed them really well.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Fairway View to anyone looking for a care home for a loved one.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum has been at Fairway View for 12 months now and is really happy.
She has a decent sized room with en-suite, large window with view of Bulwell Forest, and an easy chair from which she can watch her own TV. She often remarks that the home is cheerfully decorated and nice and clean with no odour.
Mum
spends most of her time in the large open-plan lounge and dining area sitting with other residents. This is a great improvement on living on her own at home, she is now surrounded with kind, caring, and friendly staff.
Varied activities are on offer on a daily basis for anyone who wishes to join in. Visiting entertainers are a regular occurrence too.
Meals seem to be varied and there is a choice of menus. Tea and biscuits are also provided during the day.
We find that the staff are welcoming, friendly, conscientious, and attentive and keep us informed.
We have already recommended Fairway View to many of our family and friends.
Reply from Terri Kidd, PR Executive at Fairway View

Thank you so much for your review, it sounds like your mum has settled right in. We know that it’s really important that our residents have activities and company available – whilst they may not always want to take part, it is always available for them. This is vital for their mental health, keeping them stimulated, entertained, and reducing the isolation that many felt when they were living alone. Thanks again, your recommendation means the world!

My mother has lived at Fairway View Care Home for twelve months and it has been a great relief to me that she is cared for to a high standard in a safe environment. Her needs are appropriately dealt with - she is clean, warm, well fed and comfortable with the availability of voluntary activities. Attendance
by outside healthcare practitioners is appropriate and all her requirements are catered for.

Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
I chose this home for 2 weeks respite care for my mother, as it has outstanding from CQC inspectors. On arrival told needed to pay for 4 weeks and on discharge, she would get the remainder back, which we agreed to. In 3 days she went for between 17 and 19 hours without being offered a hot drink, this
was each day. After the first day, I mentioned it to the manager, and she assured me she would make sure she was given hot drinks. It didn't happen. My mum was not incontinent, but she was immobile due to a fractured hip so needed a piece of moving equipment called a rotunda plus staff to assist her to the toilet. She rang her buzzer and no one came, she, therefore, wet herself for the first time and sat in it until gone 11 am. No one had been to check on her since tablets were given at 6.45 am, again without a hot drink. After 3 days and no improvement in her care, we removed Mum from the home. They did not even provide basic care. Dreadful place. I then had to fight to get 2-week money back. Dreadful place.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.864)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.864) out of 10 for Fairway View is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.864 for Fairway View is calculated as follows: ( (313 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 359 Ratings = 4.864
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Fairway View is based on 30 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 41 registered maximum number of service users is 8.2, which has been reached with 30 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
