A Truly Exceptional Standard of Care
After experiencing two other care homes in the local area, finding Fairfax Manor has been nothing short of transformational. The difference has been night and day - in every single respect.
My father moved in just a few weeks ago, and in that short time, the
impact on his wellbeing, comfort and dignity has been profound. From the moment we walked through the door, Fairfax Manor felt different. The surroundings are clean, bright and genuinely welcoming - not clinical or cold, but warm and homely in a way that immediately puts both residents and families at ease.
What sets Fairfax apart most, however, is the people. The staff don't just care for residents - they genuinely care about them. The empathy is real, unhurried and consistent. You can feel it in the small moments. At the heart of all of this is the manager, Sharon. She is, quite simply, phenomenal. A true titan in terms of knowledge, service and compassionate leadership.

A beautifully furnished home with a high standard of care. Mum loves being in Fairfax and tells everyone it's her home. Mum is always clean, dressed nicely with her jewellery on - not at all like when she struggled at home. I would highly recommend Fairfax Manor.

Fairfax Manor is a wonderful place with caring, friendly and helpful staff, carers and nurses. Fairfax is welcoming to all visitors. The social areas are inviting to have a coffee/tea with family and friends and the living areas are very cosy and comfortable. Dad has been well cared for since he
arrived and specifically with the treatment he needed. Dad couldn't be in a better place.

Fairfax Manor Care Home is the place to be if you want or need a secure future. It is ideal for those who are wanting peace of mind for future care and attention as old age creeps upon us. A comforting thought is that if a problem arises in any department then immediate action is taken to remedy the
situation. All in all Fairfax Manor is the best place available to be for a residents future well being.

The team at Fairfax are providing wonderful care. It's a lovely place to visi our friends, who have made huge improvements in health since becoming residents. All the staff are friendly, helpful and welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble. We have had lots of support in getting them settled and are
delighted with how much they are enjoying being there.

Both my parents have been in Fairfax a number of times, more recently for a longer period.

I would not hesitate to recommend Fairfax to anyone looking for the very best in a care facility.

As a family we would highly recommend Fairfax Manor Care Home. My Mother went to the Home as end of life and passed away 2weeks later. The care and attention to her needs was outstanding. Altho she couldn't really tolerate food the lovely Chef, Gino, did his level best to tempt her. Sorry Gino
that she couldn't enjoy it to its fullest and neither could we as her time was short. Peace comes in for a special mention with her kind calm manner , truly peaceful. Thank you Peace. Every member of Staff went over and above to make her last days as comfortable as they could. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you

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.
11 June 2025
My wife is a resident for a year. I visit for 5 days & my daughter 2 days. This care home can nit be faulted in any area. Has to be the best care home in Harrogate, it has the best staff and facilities, 5 star!
28 May 2025
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.
10 April 2025
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.
10 April 2025
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.
21 March 2025
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.
10 March 2025
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.
