After years of caring for a family member, we have finally found a home that we are completely satisfied with. One of the hardest decisions we have made, but the correct one. The home is so friendly for residents & their families. We have been welcomed fully & become a family again, not full time
carers. When we visit on a regular basis, we see the wonderful care given to all residents & join in the fantastic activities planned.

My father has been a resident of Fernleigh Court Care and Nursing Home for just over 3 months. He has settled in really well and made lots of new friends. He joins in with the activities, of which there are plenty. The staff are very caring and gentle. They treat the residents like they are family
and with utmost respect. The facilities are spotlessly clean and of a very high standard. It is more like a hotel than a care home! It doesn't feel or smell like a care home! I have no complaints about any aspect of care here and it feels very safe and secure. There are nurses on each floor, 24 hours a day as well as other care staff. I would happily move in here myself! Mustn't forget to mention food! Absolutely first class!!

I cannot commend Fernleigh Court highly enough. The management team and staff have exemplary care to my father who received end of life care at Fernleigh. He was only there for a short time, but it gave all us tremendous comfort to see him in such safe and caring hands. Everyone showed such kindness
- to all of us - and treated my father with dignity and respect. The rooms food and facilities are of a very high standard complementing the excellent standard of care. I thank everyone for their care and kindness and would not hesitate to recommend Fernleigh Court to others.

From the moment he arrived at Fernleigh, we felt this is the right place. The staff are truly wonderful, compassionate, patient, engaging, activities, and excellent family communication. He feels happy, safe and treated with dignity. Clean, homely environment, great food. He feels he lives in a 5
star hotel.

Our dad spent 10 days with you, sadly he passed away quicker than we expected but during his time with you we found his care to be of the highest quality. Nothing was too much trouble and all of the staff had time not only for him but also for us.
The facilities were outstanding and our dad
retained his independence until 48 hours before he died.
On the day that he died staff were incredibly respectful and food would just arrive that we could help ourselves to as they continued to care for us.
I cannot thank everyone enough, from the care staff, to the cooks the cleaner and the laundry lady who cried when she heard that he had died. I would highly recommend the home.

My sister became a resident of Fernleigh Court Care & Nursing Home when diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, in the last two months of her life. The wonderful care, empathy and love shown to her by all staff was outstanding. All family and friends visiting her were amazed at the friendliness of all
staff, a wonderful, clean 5* home. Exceptional place for her to live, enjoying art, and her birthday.

All the staff at Fernleigh offered the highest level of care to my dad and the highest level of support to me and all the family. We could not have wished for a better place for my dad to spend his final days. You helped us all through a very tough time with professionalism and compassion. Thank you
for everything!
PS the coffee made by the manager was 100%!! :)

My husband was admitted to Fernleigh on 22nd Sept 2025 for end of life care. I could not have asked for a better nursing home for my husband to spend the last two weeks of his life. The manager completed his pre-assessment while he was in hospital, and from the first moment I met her, I knew he
would be in excellent care. On admission and for the weeks the weeks he was treated with the utmost care and respect from each and every one of the nursing and care staff. Fernligh will have my heartfelt thanks forever, my husband passed away 8/10/25.

I cannot fault the care, attention and compassion that my late husband received when he was at Fernleigh Court. He was so content during his stay. The facilities for residents are amazing and the families of residents are treated so well. We were kept up to date with any information regarding my
late husband and were always pro-active with any medical treatment that he needed.
I would like to say a big thank you to all the Fernleigh Court staff and would wholeheartedly recommend this care/nursing home.

My mother spent her final years at Fernleigh Court, during this time she was cared for with dignity and friendship. At all times I was secure in the knowledge she was safe and in the hands of the team who really cared. I would love to highlight everyone who impacted on my mothers life however some
will be missed but especially the team who made such a difference. Great job.

Immediately upon arrival, we were greeted with friendly, helpful staff. My sister is very happy she enjoys the food being offered with choices. She likes to meet and talk to people, and she has been asked to do this in the Bistro every day. We too have been offered tea and biscuits, which has made
our visit relaxing and enjoyable with my sister.

Since mum, who has dementia, has been in Fernleigh Court she has been looked after with compassion, kindness and gentleness. From being bedbound for the previous year or so, she is now out of bed sitting in her special chair and being encouraged to engage in social situations and in the daily
events. The friendly and helpful staff are always attentive to her needs and there is good communication between them and the family. One thing I have to mention was the surprise event the staff put on for my parents wedding anniversary with amazing decorations and an incredible afternoon tea. As a family we all say a huge Thank You to all at Fernleigh for everything you do for mum and also for looking after dad so well when he visits.

Mum was always treated with kindness & respect. Whenever I had any issues, they were always quickly resolved. Advocating for a family member isn't easy, but I was never made to feel uncomfortable or a nuisance when I flagged up problems. Mum always preferred the staff she had come to know well &
these relationships made her stay so much more bearable. she hated change & unfamiliar faces. The atmosphere in Fernleigh Court is very welcoming & friendly. The staff are always smiling & helpful.
