Sadly my mother was with you for a few weeks only before she died, but the care she received was exemplary. The staff were friendly, kind and caring. The meals were delicious and her room was lovely - it was good for her to have so many of her personal possessions, including furniture, with her. There were special activities during the week and staff were always on hand to help with residents' needs - helping hands when needed, cups of tea and coffee when wanted, talking to residents and taking a personal interest in them. Staff couldn't do enough for us when it was obvious that she was dying - nothing was too much trouble. We are, of course, very sad indeed that she is no longer with us, but you made her last days as good, if not better, than if she had been in her own home, where we would have struggled with the round the clock care she needed at the end.
Thank you very much indeed, we are very grateful to you.
We can not thank you enough for taking the time to send your heartfelt comments regarding the care to your Mother in her final days especially as this must be a difficult time for the family. We are truly gratified to know that our staff made a difference and that you too felt supported. Please...

My Mum was a resident at the Fairways for two years up until October 2015, when she sadly passed away. The care that she received during her stay was excellent and the staff were very patient and caring. She was encouraged to join in with all of the activities and loved her time at the care home. The staff's caring attitude was highlighted when her health deteriorated. The staff helped us so much during her last few weeks and were extremely compassionate and did everything they could during a very difficult time.
Thank you for taking the time to pass on your positive comments. It is so reassuring to hear that our staff team provided excellent care particularly at such a difficult and sad time for you and your family. We will ensure that your feedback is shared with the staff.
It's funny how I had assumed that...
It's funny how I had assumed that Fairways and another home (where my father in law was cared for) were the usual. Now I realise that it is exceptional.
Keep up your wonderful work and let all the staff know that they really make all the difference.
Thank you for taking the time to provide such positive feedback for our home in Chippenham. It is always rewarding to know that the staff team have truly made a difference to loved ones care and support. We will ensure that the team are made aware of your generous comments.
