Fernbank is much more than a home. It was like a secondhome for my mum during her respite.
From the moment you walk in the management and all staff are very kind, caring and friendly.
Mum would always say that every meal was absolutely delicious and tasty!

and joined in with the activities!

This home provided outstanding respite care for our mother, and we couldn't be more thankful. From the moment she arrived, she was treated with kindness, respect, and compassion. The staff went above and beyond to ensure she was comfortable, safe, and well cared for, and their professionalism was
matched by genuine warmth. Our mother always commented on how good the food was! and how everyone was so friendly and kind to her. Knowing she was in such capable and caring hands gave our family real peace of mind. I would highly recommend this home to anyone seeking quality care for a loved one.

All the staff are not only very friendly and attentive, but seem genuinely happy and enjoy their job.

When visiting we're always offered a cup of tea. Such friendly attentive staff.
I'd highly recommend for your friend or relative.

I would highly recommend Fernbank Care home, the care is outstanding. The staff are so caring and attentive to Mum (and us as a family). The home offers fantastic meal options which Mum loves, it's clean, they have days out, daily activities which are all fun keeping Mum entertained and the safety
of the home is exemplary.
The home offers lovely gardens which is perfect as Mum likes to sit out reading her paper in the summer months, chef brings her ice lollies, fresh drinks and staff are attentive applying suncream.. it's these things that makes Fernbank stand out with their care. Mum is so settled which is so reassuring for myself and my sister knowing our Mum is happy, safe and enjoying her days.
We cannot recommend Fernbank enough, we really are so grateful for all the love and care you give her. Outstanding all round.

My mum has been living at Fernbank since January and I honestly couldn't recommend it highly enough. She has Alzheimer's and has really settled here, which means so much to us as a family. The staff are absolutely fabulous - not only with Mum, but also with my sister, myself and the whole family.
They are warm, caring and genuinely lovely people, and their support has made such a difference.
Being a small care home gives it such a homely, welcoming feel, and you can tell how much each resident is valued as an individual. We feel so reassured knowing Mum is safe, well cared for and surrounded by kindness.
We would like to express our massive thanks and deepest appreciation to everyone at Fernbank - you have given us peace of mind and Mum a real home. Xxx

My sister is now living in Fernbank Lodge Care Home and is receiving the very best care from management and staff, who are always welcoming and pleasant. I can visit anytime, which is very helpful and says a great deal about the caring nature of everyone at the home. I visted yesterday and there was
entertainment (a man with a guitar), and everyone was having a sing-song, which was lovely to see. The environment at the lodge make it feels like a home to its guests, and not just place of residence, which is wonderful. Please take a took, trust me, you won't be disappointed.

Recently my father's cousin has taken up residential care at Fernbank. My father no longer drives. Therefore have taken him to visit on three occasions. The experience put us completely at ease and I certainly felt immediately comfortable with Fernbank. Notably despite her condition was perfectly
relaxed and cheerful. The staff are very nice and helpful with no problems accommodating our impromptu visits. The experience felt right and left both myself and dad feeling that she is very well looked after. Thank you all at Fernbank.

excellent and very nutritious. The staff are willing to accompany her to appointments and make sure her medical needs are met.

I highly recommend Fernbank Lodge, my stepmother has been a resident for a couple of years now, and the staff are absolutely fantastic, they're all so caring and friendly, it's clear to see this while visiting. It is well managed and nothing is too much trouble. The manager recently arranged for my
