Overall Experience4.0 out of 5
My friend has vascular dementia and stroke deficits and suffers with a great deal of anxiety and can sometimes be tearful and difficult to keep calm. The staff are very patient and recognise the signs of escalating anxiety at an early stage and intervene appropriately with distraction techniques. There
are a variety of activities throughout the day for residents, which my friend enjoys enormously. Firefly is small and has a real feeling of being in a regular home rather than a care home. The facilities are superb. The Hub, which is an activities room separate from the lounge, hosts various activities such as games, music events and films for those who wish to take part, and the hydrotherapy pool is a wonderful rehabilitation resource.

Overall Experience5.0 out of 5
Firefly was the only provider we found, local to where we live, that could care for our mothers very complex physical and emotional 'post-stroke' challenges.
The facility is new, stylish and well designed and not at all like a 'typical' elderly care home. The atmosphere is upbeat, friendly and because
of the size of the 24-hour residential care facility (8 residents) the level of care provided is more aligned to 1-1 or 1-2 care with good staff continuity.
The residents' rooms are all individual and very generously sized with smart, contemporary bathrooms.
The managers are professional, lead their teams well and accessible at all times (phone or email) for discussions on any medical and general welfare.
The staff genuinely care about the residents and making their days feel a little bit brighter and more positive - this shines through - during the COVID crisis, a small core team worked gruelling shifts (27+ hrs each) to ensure everyone pulled through - they went above and beyond!

I cannot praise them enough for the care, support and dedication they’ve shown us all as a family, especially through these very difficult times (coronavirus).
They are always at the end of the phone and communicate and inform us all the way.
Nothing is to difficult, and we are just so grateful
our mum is being treated the way we would want to be treated.
Lovely food, great management, great staff and lovely and clean throughout, what more can we ask for.

Inspection ratings
We rate most services according to how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led they are, using four levels:
Outstanding - the service is performing exceptionally well.
Good - the service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
Requires improvement - the service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
Inadequate - the service is performing badly and we've taken enforcement action against the provider of the service.
No rating/under appeal/rating suspended - there are some services which we can't rate, while some might be under appeal from the provider. Suspended ratings are being reviewed by us and will be published soon.
Ticks and crosses
We don't rate every type of service. For services we haven't rated we use ticks and crosses to show whether we've asked them to take further action or taken enforcement action against them.
There's no need for the service to take further action. If this service has not had a CQC inspection since it registered with us, our judgement may be based on our assessment of declarations and evidence supplied by the service.
The service must make improvements.
At least one standard in this area was not being met when we inspected the service and we have taken enforcement action.
Care Quality Commission is responsible for the registration and inspection of social care services in England.
