Going into residential care is a huge undertaking for any resident and their family, and not one to be undertaken lightly. Finding the right home with the right staff is a minefield and, to a large extent, a calculated risk. Finding Fairwood Fields was an absolute blessing. Not only is the home
beautiful, it has an atmosphere of kindness, compassion and understanding which comes right from the top. My Dad has now been in 11 weeks and is settled and has everything he needs. Thank you to all.

My mum has been a challenge since her diagnosis with dementia, she decided under her own will to move in to Fairwood Fields at Pontefract after attending a coffee morning open day.
Mum has struggled initially at settling in to the care home, mainly due to the dementia, but the staff have been so
nice and caring to mum through the unsettled period since mum moved in permanently in February.
The fact that mum is now in a very vice care home and is being cared for so well , keeping her secure and safe has taken a big burden off me and has in retrospect supported me, as putting mum in to a care home wasn't easy, but we knew it was the only way. We can now go on holidays, feeling relaxed knowing mum is being cared for and mum has made new friends with in the home..
A big thank you to all the staff

Fairwood Fields is bright modern & welcoming. Much thought has gone into the refreshingly tasteful decor. The choice of lounges is also a bonus & seating areas away from the TV for those residents who just choose to chat. Mum very quickly made the decision, after a number of falls within a very
short time that full time care was what she now required. My brother & I were tasked with finding a suitable residence meeting mums needs & exacting standards. We were invited to a meeting in the home & the manager followed this up with a visit to meet and assess mum. Everyone in the home is most helpful & friendly. The care staff go out of their way to get to know mum. The home has a strong management team who are involved deeply with the running, training & evolving the home responsibly.
A beautiful light filled care home which wouldn't mean anything without the CARE. Mum put her trust in us to find her new home & we delivered reassured in the knowledge that she is very much CARED for.

My uncle has just spent a week's respite in Fairwood Fields and has enjoyed it very much. I knew when I was looking at various care homes that when I walked through the doors, I have found the right place from the genuine welcoming smiles from Lynn, the manager and every staff member I met. Fairwood
is a brand-new home, only 6 months old. The decor is so beautiful, light, and airy. The dining room was so inviting, and my uncle found the food choices were excellent. I came to take my uncle home today, and his words were, 'The staff have been great. Nothing was too much trouble, and all were very kind. Can I book another 2 weeks in August?'
Thank you all, Fairwood Field, I can now go on holiday with a contented mind knowing my uncle is in safe hands.

I cannot speak highly enough of Fairwod Fields Care Home. It is clean and well decorated throughout with lots of extras - cinema rooms, beauty salon, garden room and library.
The staff are wonderful and have gone above and beyond in helping Mum settle and join in with the many activities. They have
even taken her on trips out to the market, garden centre and even a day at the races.

Fairwood Fields provided nearly everything yoy could wish for in a care home. The staff and facilities are excellent. Thank you to everyone.

From the very beginning, the experience was handled with genuine respect and compassion. The initial review took place in my mother's own home, which immediately created a sense of comfort and dignity during what could have been a difficult transition.
Upon arrival at the care home, she was made to
feel exceptionally welcome. The staff ensured the move was smooth and reassuring, helping her settle in quickly. She was encouraged to bring personal belongings, which allowed her to create a familiar and comforting environment in her room.
The facilities provided are excellent, including a spacious room equipped with a large screen TV, en-suite bathroom, adjustable bed, and even a refrigerator-everything needed to support both comfort and independence. Most importantly, the staff consistently demonstrate outstanding care and compassion. They provide not just support, but also meaningful structure and a sense of purpose to daily life. This thoughtful approach has made a significant impact.

My mum stayed here recently on 2 weeks respite care. Throughout her stay she was treated with dignity and kindness. The staff from the manager down were all friendly and caring and nothing was too much trouble. The room was comfortable and clean. The food and activities were varied and plentyful.
She will definitely be returning.

My mother stayed at Fairwood Fields for two weeks as respite care following a recent health problem. I was impressed with the facilities and care provided all round, staff, food and general environment. As a retired GP I have visited many care homes over the years and I think it fair to say that I
have never been in one that provided a better level of service.
I was particularly impressed with small things such as providing a daily newspaper, obtaining my mother's preferred evening drink and offering a range of extra activities such as flower arranging and a cheese and wine evening. Keep up the good work!

My father went in 26th Jan 2026. It was for 2 weeks respite. After the first 3 days, he decided he was going to be a permanent resident. Dad has changed so much in the short time; he's loving the food and all the staff. My husband and I, my sister and brother in law all think the staff are
wonderful, they always have time for everyone. Dad is now so much more happier, brighter, engaged and back to how he was years ago. Fairwood Fields is the best thing for all of us, thank you.

Fairwood Fields staff all of them have been brilliant nothing seems to be too much trouble. Mum has improved loads since moving to Fairwood. The atmosphere and surroundings are so comfortable & relaxed so friendly there always seems to be something going on to keep the residents happy. I have been
told by the rest of my family and friends of mum who visit her that she is in a hotel not a home apart from being looked after so well.

Hi
I do not have a bad word to say about this care home. I was very wary about putting my mam in a care home. I had read and heard bad things against certain ones.
We'll, let me say, I shouldn't have wasted any negative thoughts about this Care Home because it's not like a care home it's just like
walking into a hotel. So, if you're thinking about putting a family member in, just do it. I cannot praise them enough. I can't believe that anyone would have a bad thing to say about this care home. I can visit and when it's time to go I can do so feeling good because I know she's in safe hands.So a big THANK YOU to the staff for all you do for our family members.
