Bringing dad to Firstlings and watching him settle has taken a massive pressure off me and my family. I love the way the staff interact with the residents. It feels like a proper homely home. There is good communication between the management and the family, which is comforting. If I had to go into a home, this would be my 1st choice for myself to reside in.

As a family, we have been very impressed with the standard of care at Firstlings. All the staff have been extremely kind and caring towards Dad. Dad loves the food and the interaction with friendly staff. Dad is also enjoying chatting with other residents and the social side of this very happy place. A particular member of staff does so well, as does everybody else, motivating residents.

The staff are friendly and attentive. We feel reassured knowing that Mother-in-law is getting the palliative care she deserves. We are kept updated at all times and made to feel welcome when we visit.

My husband has settled quickly into Firstlings. He feels this is his home and gets on well with the excellent staff. He enjoys the activities and participates. He is free to wander around the corridors but he also sits happily in the lounges watching TV. He is cared for in all his needs including his health and welfare. He enjoys the food as well.

My mum has been in the home for a few months. It has been difficult moving her from a bungalow to the Home and we have found the staff very friendly and very helpful in this process. Mum is settled in very well with the help of the staff guiding us, when visiting the home I cannot do enough for you any problems are sorted out very quickly. We found them great support in Mum’s care which has helped us as well as Mum.

My father was a resident in Firstlings for about 5 months. Throughout that time, the care he received was excellent. Every member of staff from management, carers, entertainment, maintenance, domiciliary to kitchen staff give such a high standard of care, delivered in a professional but friendly, caring way. All of my family, my mother and myself were always greeted with a smile and they were all so welcoming.

In respect of my cousin, who was a resident at Firstlings Care Home for a period of twenty months, I cannot speak more highly of the love, care and respect given by the staff and management. As a relative, we were treated with respect at all times and advised by the staff of anything that we needed to know in respect of the health and well-being of our cousin. They are wonderful people as well as being extremely professional.

I visit my aunt regularly at Firstlings, the staff are very helpful, the home is always kept clean and my aunt is very happy here. She is kept clean and tidy and loves her manicures there. Would highly recommend this care home.
