A lovely place. Excellent staff, always welcoming beautiful and very clean. Offered my dinner, all very helpful and kind. Best care home I have been in, family prompted nicely with meals, lovely meals very nourishing and healthy and tasty.

Delighted to visit Fairview yesterday & find decorations & lots of effort to celebrate my in-laws 65th wedding anniversary. They were made to feel so special & lots of staff & service users joined in. The cake, fizz & genuine warmth was very much appreciated & made the whole family including those in N.Z., Australia and Canada all feel involved.

I have found Barchester Fairview House Care Home have provided excellent, effective care to my father-in-law over the period he has lived here. The staff are very attentive to all his needs and have developed very good relationships with him allowing him to have the best quality of life it is possible for him to have. The staff keep us well informed and ensure that we are consulted. His health and wellbeing have improved greatly and we are very grateful for the care he receives and the amazing effort of the staff to provide care and support to him. Thank you all.

My brother who suffers from Parkinsons desease has bean a resident at Fairview for over a year, he has mood swings and mobility problems but the staff seem to keep him smiling, he is always clean and shaved and when he cant manage through to the dining room they take his meals into his room for him. He is well fed with a varied menu.

Carers observed my husband looked hot and was shaking temperature was very high so Docs were called. The staff during my husbands illness was excellent, They regularly checked his temperature, looked to see if he needed changed, due to sweatingm and made sure he was given drinks and liquid food. I have every confidence in his care at Fairview Thank you!

Mum and Dad have both been in Fairview for six months. They are both well looked after. Happy and content. They like the staff and enjoy the food.

My father was a resident. Sadly it was only for 8 weeks but the experience changed all our lives. The care received was beyond our expectations. Nothing was too much trouble. My father suffered from dementia but he clearly loved and trusted those caring for him. Nursing staff were quick to respond to his medical needs. In his final hours I saw staff care not only for him but also my mother. We were all treated like family. The home is spotlessly clean and very welcoming.

The lovely sping flowers at the front door makes the care home a welcoming place to visit. The staff are all so kind and thoughtful not only to my husband also to myself, family and visiting friends. Since my husband has been a resident the staff has spent time to get him back eating and drinking again. A big turn around in 5 weeks. Food is good and plenty of choice as I have stayed for lunch. To the manager and all staff a big thank you fo rall the care and I'm so happy to see a smile on my husbands face which is a big relief for me.

Since my friends husband was admitted to Fairview House I am amazed at the improvement in his physical condition. Prior to him coming here his appetite was non-existent but now he is eating very well. He has good interactions with all staff.

Dad went to Barchester Fairview House Care Home for respite last August and settled in so well he became a resident. He is very independent and all the staff are so supportive helping and encouraging him when needed. The level of care, activities and cleanliness are of a very high standard and any concerns are dealt with immediately. Overall, Fairview has a great atmosphere, is very welcoming and all the staff ensure that residents and their families are treated with compassion and respect.

Unfortunately, my experience on my visit was not good. No receptionist on at the weekend, why? I can't find anyone to speak to regarding my concerns regarding the treatment of the person I was visiting at the home, the staff that I had contact with seemed to talk at the resident and not talk with her and found they seemed unfriendly. I had a look on your website and it looks so lovely and friendly with staff sitting and talking with the residents, that is not what I witnessed on my visit. The basics of caring for people is dignity and respect, which I found lacking.

My Mum is a resident in Barchester Fairview House Care Home. She has been here for over two years now. In the past few months most of the home has been refurbished painted, papered, carpeted, new furniture, new decor. It is looking, smelling and feeling fresh and new. There are now 4 activities organisers producing up to 60 varied activities per month! (I enjoy coming in to see what's on next). The carers, nurses, the maintenance, housekeeping, laundry staff, the administration team handle up to 100 residents with many and varied special needs. Over the past 2 years I have got to know many of them and I keep discovering deeper layers of skills and sensitivities. They are very dedicated and committed to enriching everyone's lives. They make me feel more than just a visitor, more part of the team, part of the family. Generally those who work in the care sector are undervalued and underpaid. I see them as heroes in our society. Well done. Thanks. Keep up the good work!

Very good. Great knowledge of my mum and her circumstances. Very good, regular updates, offering time to get any requests that we may have dealt with.

My mother-in-law was cared for with dignity, and the staff looked after her so well, but they also looked after me as she was on end-of-life care, which was very difficult as I am her next of kin, but the staff kept me informed on her, so I would like to thank each of them.

Always been made welcome when we visit. Visiting as Mother's birthday. We booked a meal for three of us, it was delicious. The home provided a lovely chocolate cake. Can't thank everyone enough. My mum loves staying here.

My mother has been a resident for just over one year and I can honestly say that she is in the best form she's been for years. She is extremely well cared for at Fairview, medically, physically, socially and mentally. A heartfelt thanks to all the staff at Fairview for achieving this.

Mixed. Some good features e.g. activities, unrestricted access, some good caring and considerate staff, some rather abrupt some with limited English making communication difficult. Never enough staff so sometimes long waits for attention.

Since moving in in October 2023, my father has settled in well. The nurses, carers, admin staff have all been professional, approachable and always go above and beyond. Have to mention one of the carers, in particular - she is always so happy to help and nothing's too much but have to say, all the carers are friendly and helpful.
27 March 2024
The Memory Lane staff have one of the most difficult jobs. One can only praise them all for their patience and care. Our father is not the easiest person and difficult to manage. We greatly appreciate Fairview's approach and understanding. Definitely five-star.
