Overall Experience

Mum moved into Fairfield at the end of May 25 after 2 months in hospital. As a family we immediately felt she would like Fairfield, be comfortable in her room and it met her nursing needs very well. From day 1 management and staff were so friendly with Mum and attentive to us as a family which we

appreciated. It was obvious to us that she was happy there and was treated with dignity and compassion which is so important. Unfortunately and unexpectedly she became ill early in July 25 but was able to remain at Fairfield to be cared for and kept comfortable during her last few days until she died. Certainly our experience of Fairfield albeit brief was very positive and we say a big 'thank you' to all involved in her care.

Overall Experience

My dad was in the care home for 3 weeks until he passed away. In these 3 weeks my dad was looked after amazingly. We visited every other day and every visit the staff were friendly and made us feel welcome and relaxed.
All staff both day and night were supportive and caring to both my dad and the

family.
They always kept us informed on everything that was happening.
I would like to thank them for all they did and making my dad comfortable and giving us support throughout.
A great team and they should all be very proud of what they do.

Overall Experience

When I visit Mum, I always find the staff calm and helpful.
Mum has been at Fairfield for 4 months now, and every visit I find her happy and settled. I find the home clean, good food, and it looks like the staff work as a team and nothing is too much trouble.
The other nice thing I've noted is that

all the staff sit with residents and talk and spend time with them.

Overall Experience

My dad stayed at Fairfield over the Christmas period, he was admitted for emergency respite. The home manager went above and beyond to facilitate Dad’s stay, at very short notice. Dad appeared very content and happy, the staff spent time talking to him and offering reassurance. The food smelt wonderful

and Dad always appeared to clear his plate, I would highly recommend Fairfield the manager and her team.

Overall Experience

Lovely home from home. Mum went to Fairfield for a week over Christmas and stayed in one of their new en-suite bedrooms. The staff were attentive welcoming and friendly - nothing was too much trouble for them and showed genuine respect for the elderly. Special mention of the experienced carers there

and from the first day made mum feel welcomed, special and safe. The only downside for me was cosmetically in that the older part of the building on the ground floor lounge and dining area was tired with furniture well worn and both rooms in need of a total refurbishment which I understand is planned for this year. Other than that this home is a real find providing that friendly homely feel with high standards of cleanliness and care. It’s because of the superb staff who work there and who genuinely really care about their residents - you can sense the happy atmosphere when you first walk in which is important to live in that sort of environment to lift your day!

Reply from Claire Douglas, TBC at Fairfield House

I appreciate your honesty regarding the older part of the building, we do have plans to totally refurbish the communal areas this year and upgrade the furniture. It was lovely for Mum to stay and have the opportunity to spend quality time with you over Christmas. I will forward your kind words to all the staff.

Overall Experience

We had the need to use the wonderful services on offer, at Fairfield, during Christmas week 2023. My Dad has dementia and we needed a few days respite for him, the staff and management were incredible, both caring and understanding to our family and our father's needs, Dad was well cared for, comfortable

and given privacy and was supported with anything he needed. The staff were friendly, we had great reports of the food and dad enjoyed the outside space for supervised fresh air, his room was comfortable, and had a homely aesthetic, a very nice and safe wet room and comfortable accommodation. From a family point of view, visiting was no trouble, staff were happy to escort us to him and very accommodating. The location was easy to find and on a main transport route, the home itself was impeccably clean and neat. If we need to use respite services again, we won't hesitate to use Fairfield. Thanks a million for supporting the family in our time of need and taking care of our Dad.

I am needing full-time care, so it has been quite a shock going from independence to living in a nursing home, but I am so lucky to have chosen Fairfield Care Home. I feel so looked after. The staff are so caring and always smiling. The atmosphere is so pleasant and friendly, and I feel at ease here.

Overall Experience

I thoroughly recommend Fairfield House. My wife transferred to this care home when her needs became more complex. Every staff member has been so wonderfully caring, compassionate and understanding of my wife and I. Always so friendly and ready to give a full report of how my wife is fairing.
I rest

easier knowing my wife is receiving excellent care with such patience, making sure the needs of my wife, however small, are met as far as possible. During my regular visits, it never seems like they are just following a routine but genuinely trying to give my wife the best quality of life she can have.
I cannot praise all the staff and management enough.
The treatment of residents as though they are their own family members is heartwarming.

Overall Experience

After my mother was a bit concerned about going into nursing care, the experience has been amazing. The staff are so friendly, welcoming and kind. From asking for a hairdresser to having her hair done the next day, nothing is too much trouble, a lovely, friendly, homely home. From my point of view,

after seeing her in other homes, this home is on another level, from the amazing management to every member of staff. I can have my mind at ease knowing she is being well cared for by an amazing team.

I have visited my friend at Fairfield House, and I have always found the staff to be friendly and helpful with a smile on their faces, on one occasion I met a lovely lady who I believe is the Deputy Care Manager who was very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. On my visit to the home, I was really

pleased with the standard that the home was kept, extremely clean and fresh. My friend was very happy telling me she enjoyed staying there, the food was nice and enjoyed the activities.

Overall Experience

My mum was a resident at Fairfield House for around 4 months. During her time spent there, she was very well cared for by dedicated staff. Nothing was too much trouble for them, despite mum being challenging at times, they handled her with care and compassion. The home is exceptionally clean and fresh

smelling. We lost mum in November - during her last few hours we were able to be with her. The staff were fantastic, keeping us well watered and fed during the night. I will always be grateful for the love and care that mum received in their care, and can highly recommend Fairfield.
