Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. It means a great deal when family members who are regular visitors provide their views. I admire my colleagues in Fordingbridge for their constant positive and happy presence, this is so important for our Residents' wellbeing. The food is very good and the facilities are relevant and useful for the Residents. It's a nice happy relaxed place to be, which for our Residents who struggle with behaviours and dementia is fundamentally important. Thank you, my best wishes

We are very sorry to hear you felt a lack of empathy and compassion when your mother was a resident at Fordingbridge Nursing Home. We have spoken with the staff concerned and although they present a slightly different perspective it is your feelings and reaction that are paramount.
At this time due to the dangers of Coronavirus, the staff have to ensure that strict protocols are adhered to for the safety of our residents. If this has come across as blunt and curt we can only express our sincere apologies.
We would also like to apologise that your father was contacted against your wishes. The first contact in your mother's care plan was unavailable and so the second contact, your father, was contacted. An error, that in the light of your verbal instruction, should not have happened.
Please accept our deepest sympathy for the loss of your mother and our apologies once again for any distress you may have suffered.
