Dad was one of the first few residents at Fairfax when it opened and although there was one or two teething issues at the beginning, due to it being a new establishment, these were ironed out quickly. Dad always referred to Fairfax as a hotel and that is because, unlike some other care homes it was beautifully kept, both inside and out. However, for us as a family, the most important criteria was care and we were not disappointed. All the staff were so lovely and caring. Dad was a Type 1 Diabetic and hence had to have the District Nurses out twice a day to administer insulin. This was not always ideal, but the staff at Fairfax were always so patient with his sometimes erratic sugar levels. They always had a smile and a joke for him.. Unfortunately, in the end Dad had to be moved to a nursing home and is now no longer with us. I know that he had not wanted to leave his home, but Fairfax was certainly a very good substitute.

My stay in Fairfax Manor was excellent for two weeks of respite care. My room was superb, and the facilities in the home were brilliant. I cannot find enough words to say how kind and caring the staff were. All were amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely recommend it. My slight niggle was the food. Having said that, the staff went out of their way to give me what I asked for. The soups were excellent.

Mum first went to Fairfax for respite in April 2024, and then again July 2024 when it was decided that she required full time care. We looked at other care homes but none compared. I could not bear to contemplate anywhere else. The home itself with all its high spec rooms with safety features and the wonderful caring staff I cannot fault in any way at all. The staff equally care for my Dad on his daily visits. The care is second to none and the whole place is spotless. I feel that Mum is very safe and cared for I would not hesitate to recommend Fairfax to anyone. In fact I have.

My Mum has Alzheimers disease and was living alone many miles away, which was a constant worry. I started to look round care homes for when the inevitable happened, somewhere where my Mum could be closer to me in Harrogate. I remember the first time I went to look round Fairfax Manor (April 2024), I immediately felt at home and my gut sat so comfortably. It was the only home out of the 8 I viewed that I could picture my beautiful Mum living in. From the beautiful care home itself and more importantly, to all the staff. Sadly, my Mum was admitted to hospital in January 2025 and was unable to return to her home. The manager was amazing and did everything she could to support with my Mums move between councils. My Mum has been at Fairfax Manor for over 2 months now and I just know that she is in such a lovely place and is being cared for. My Mum especially loves the church services and anything involving music! I can't recommend Fairfax Manor highly enough and am extremely thankful.

Mum stayed at Fairfax Manor for seven weeks after surgery. The staff were excellent. They treated her with dignity and compassion, and she was sad to leave. The room and facilities are absolutely beautiful. All staff were friendly and welcoming to family and visitors. We can't thank everyone at Fairfax Manor enough and would highly recommend it to anyone.

My husband has been in Fairfax Manor for 2 months, and I am delighted with his care. He is treated with dignity by every member of staff. He enjoys his meals, and his room contains everything I would want.

Fairfax Manor is a wonderful care home, and I would highly recommend. The staff are all very kind and caring, and they cannot do enough for all the residents. My mother has been a resident for 6 months now and has received excellent care. There are always lots of different amenities for the residents to join in if they want to.

I can highly recommend Fairfax Manor to anyone looking for care for themselves or a relative. The building is very modern with high quality fixtures and fittings, and is kept spotlessly clean and tidy. Security is high and the sensors in bedrooms to detect night time movement and alert staff are a quality touch. The care is exemplary, the staff being professional and friendly with a high regard for the dignity and feelings of the residents and relatives alike. Particularly noteworthy is the fact that residents are rarely left sitting in their room as there is often entertainment and they are otherwise encouraged to engage with their fellow residents. Meals are high quality and reflect exactly the likes and dislikes of the more elderly person. Fairfax is by no means the cheapest care home in the area. But the facility and the level of care prove that you get what you pay for.

I came in today to check on my friend who was joining in with the other residents who were all being entertained by the Activities Coordinator! He and others from the team of carers had everyone joining in. There was a real feeling of inclusiveness as everyone's capabilities were met and gentle encouragement got people singing and dancing! Clapping and gigging in their seats or proper up, holding hands, supporting each other whilst waltzing round the room! Smiles and laughter all round, it was a lovely morning. My friend was very happy and content it was great to see. Clever how, despite the vast range of abilities, everyone seemed to feel part of the group.

My wife was a resident for 2 weeks and experienced a totally professional experience. The staff were top class and we could find no fault with them or the care they provided.

As one of the first to move into Fairfax Mum has been a resident for 12 months during which time her dementia and overall health has deteriorated significantly. I have been enormously impressed by the way in which the team have helped us through this difficult phase and with the flexibility and outstanding care they provide. Her room is lovely and the catering is first class and adapted to her needs. The whole team are professional, friendly and genuinely try their best for Mum. I would have no hesitation recommending Fairfax Manor.

A very traumatic time putting your loved one of 50 years in the care of someone else. Up to now, he couldn't be looked after better, calming surroundings, excellent care with kind and caring staff. Always ready to ensure questions and very helpful.

My mother has been a resident at Fairfax Manor since April 2024. She has had nothing but amazing care from day one. As I do not live locally, I talk to the home a couple of times a week and always find the team have time to update me on mother's care and any needs she requires. The catering staff everyday adapt the menu for her eating requirements. I can now also video call thanks to the help of the management team. A big thank you to all concerned.
23 December 2024
Since moving into Fairfax Manor earlier this year, my mother has very much enjoyed the friendliness of the staff and the regular activities that are arranged each week. The catering has been first class and everywhere is always spotlessly clean as you would hope. Overall our expectations have been exceeded in all areas!

How fortunate we are to have discovered Fairfax Manor in Harrogate! The title of 'care home' does not do it justice. It is far from anything like a care home you would have ever imagined. Our initial meeting with the team was met positively and sympathetically, they really listened at what was a distressing time. Time was taken to show us around the entire 'hotel' and to view the first-class facilities. All questions we had were met positively and appropriately. The decision was made immediately that our relative would stay for a little respite. Shortly afterwards, we knew that this comfortable, high-end, relaxed, caring environment was the place for our relative to be, and decided to stay permanently! It's not just about the environment - the care team and management are second to none. Queries from us are met with a 'can do' attitude and are actioned that day. Nothing is too much trouble. The suites are lovely. Our relative is settling, cared for well. Highly recommended.

My dad spent a week at Fairfax Manor for respite following being unwell. We were all a little nervous but need not have worried. From initial enquiry to saying goodbye we felt welcome and in safe hands. All staff were professional cheerful and caring. A very happy environment, excellent facilities, lots of social opportunities and visitors made welcome. A definite choice for any future "holidays"

I was very impressed by my recent respite stay in Fairfax Manor, particularly by the kindness of the staff and the excellent amenities. However, I would have appreciated a telephone in my room. Nevertheless I would be happy to return if the occasion arises.
