  • Furze Hill House, North Walsham
Furze Hill House was opened in November 2007 as a purpose built Home for 40 older people. Most of the residents are from the local area and many continue to remain in touch with families, friends and the local community. It is located on the outskirts of the lovely and historic North Norfolk market town of North Walsham.

Furze Hill's mission is to provide care in a safe, secure and homely environment. The aim is to give quality care in a purpose built home, so that an individual’s physical, emotional and spiritual needs are met. Support is given to each resident whilst also encouraging their independence. Respecting individuals' privacy, wants and needs in an inclusive setting.

The ethos of the home is Christian and this is enhanced by having a Chaplain (ordained minister) as part of the team.

Special attention is paid to the needs of people living with dementia. Staff do all they can to help those living with dementia hold on to their cherished memories. Encouragement is given to residents to acquire new skills and interests as this will give a sense of purpose and quality of life, so as to maintain mental, physical and spiritual health and well being.

All the bedrooms are single and en-suite and have views of the gardens, the surrounding woods or across the open fields towards Happisburgh.

Outside, the home has pleasant gardens, patios, seating areas and an ‘all weather’ gazebo. There are some raised beds where residents can grow vegetables.

The Home employs an activities leader who compiles a programme of weekly activities. These include board games, puzzles, crafts, skittles, film shows, reminiscence, quizzes and gardening. Daily activities are posted on the Home’s notice board.

My wife has been so well looked after at times when she gets upset, they are fantastic staff. Not only do they care so well for my wife they also give me so much help in good and upsetting times. I can always have tea and biscuits and juice, I can also have a meal with my wife every day if I want. My
wife at times can be so upset and with her walking not good the staff are truly magnificent. When I go home after visiting I know she is safe with plenty of car and love. Thank you so much.

I find the staff at Furze Hill House very attentive and caring towards my mother's needs.
I was visiting my mother and was in the room when staff came in to weigh, wash and dress her, they were kind, encouraging her to do as much as she could for herself while making her feel safe and secure.
The
staff are cheerful, and my mother is happy. She is encouraged to socialise taking part in activities with others, which she enjoys.

We sadly had to move my mum into care in November 2022. As much as we wanted to keep her at home we knew we couldn't keep her safe there any longer. It was one of the hardest decisions we had to make. However, since mum has been at Furze Hill House she really has flourished. To have such a kind and
caring environment we have seen that constant state of anxiety she used to have reduce. She is so content and as hard as the decision to move her was we are so grateful we did, and that it was Furze Hill she went to. The staff go above and beyond, they are like a big family and that really comes across every time we visit. I find all the staff approachable and they listen to any concerns we may have. Even better, they feedback on any concerns they may have regarding mum and keep you well informed. I cannot thank every member of the team at Furze Hill enough for everything they have done for mum and for us! Being able to sleep at night knowing she is cared for is priceless.

My dad was in your lovely care home for respite. He had been a bit poorly. He arrived in a wheelchair and was nonverbal. After a few weeks, he made amazing progress. The manager is passionate about her role and always goes above and beyond her duty of care. The staff are dedicated caregivers.
We knew
his carer when our mum was a resident here five years ago. We knew Mum was in good hands.
She made my dad feel at ease at all times. She reassured him and comforted him when he was feeling anxious. The care and love the team shows to their residents is amazing! My dad left Furze Hill talking and walking with the aid of a stick and with confidence too! You truly are amazing! We can't thank you enough!

Well-run care home, with nice staff who are infinitely patient (some residents with dementia are sometimes quite difficult). Warm and friendly atmosphere. My wife suffers from a neurological condition leaving her crippled, blind and unable to communicate but she seems not unhappy and still manages rapport
with staff.

I've been so impressed by Furze Hill House in the few months since my mother moved there. The staff are simply wonderful. They're friendly, helpful and patient (even when getting demands from every direction!) and they always treat the residents with great kindness and respect. The management team have
been really supportive too. It's clear to see that my mum is being well looked after. The care home itself is always clean, bright and welcoming. There's also a very active programme of events and activities for the residents. Since I live far away, I particularly appreciate the social media updates - it's lovely to be able to get a taste of what's going on and gives me something extra to talk about when I visit.

My mother moved into Furze Hill last summer after breaking her hip and becoming wheelchair-bound to further add to her advancing Alzheimer's. The team were great in helping and advising us on getting things sorted as quickly as we could. The team are happy, friendly, kind and professional, creating
a positive and happy atmosphere in the home that is often missing. The social media page is very active and a wonderful way to check in on the many and varied activities and see my beloved mum. Most importantly, I think that the quality of care and management is very high. Both for my mum, but also care and consideration for my dad, as he adjusts and copes with living alone and my mum's condition. The only thing that I think could be improved is the food, it often looks frozen or out of a packet, portion sizes are often small and seconds are limited. My mum is inevitably declining as she has a terminal condition, but I wouldn't want her to be anywhere else. Thank you to all the team.

Since the resident arrived at Furze Hill in April 2023, she has been extremely well cared for. All the staff in every department are very professional and caring. They all seem to be working in a happy environment which filters down to making the residents feel comfortable and happy. The resident was
in a care home prior to Furze Hill where she became very depressed and lonely as little attention was paid to her. This changed immediately after she arrived at Furze Hill and she is now her happy mischievous self again. All the staff are very attentive and there is so much interaction between staff and residents it’s amazing. I think good management and staff are key at Furze Hill, nothing appears to be too much trouble. Cannot recommend it highly enough.

My mother has been in this care home since 2020. Her deterioration has been significant since. She is often left alone in her room as she refuses to get out of bed. I have asked many times for her to have a milky coffee and a banana for breakfast which she only gets occasionally. Pressure area care
is good, the home is clean and the facilities are good. Communication between myself and the managers is excellent. The home has lots of activities and is always warm. My mum always looks very smart.

My mother has dementia and today I went in for a care plan review. It took me 20 minutes to read it! It covered everything about my mother and described her perfectly. It was fully up to date and tracked her situation as I had observed on my visits. On visiting my mum I found the lady cleaning the room
fully engaged in conversation with Mum. Even the cleaning staff acre. It's an outstanding home.

Mum has been a resident of Furze Hill for about twelve months. My dad had known about Furze Hill via friends and knew where he wanted Mum to go when the time came. I totally can see why. I live in Australia, but during my visits, I could not be happier with the level of care and the environment.
All
the staff are so friendly and caring. Mum always tells me how good the food is and she doesn't have to wash up! Mum is well cared for, has put on some weight and is kept nicely.

My mother did not want to go into a care home but we were given no choice. I am thankful she was offered a place in Furse Hill House as from day one mum received the best care. On day two when I visited she told me how kind and helpful everyone was and she felt pampered. It has now been fifteen months
and mum still tells me how papered she feels. The staff in every department are friendly, kind and helpful to all residents and any visitors. They are professional and very hardworking. I cannot praise them all highly enough.

This is a well-managed home. The staff are accommodating, very polite and caring. They treat each resident as an individual and tailor activities accordingly. They keep relatives informed and you always have a continuous named point of contact. My father is content and this is a direct result of the

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.735)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.735) out of 10 for Furze Hill House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.735 for Furze Hill House is calculated as follows: ( (164 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (17 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 200 Ratings = 4.735

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Furze Hill House is based on 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 15 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
