All fees are based on individual care needs and would be calculated before admission.
They do not have any specific visiting times, they are open 24/7, 7 days a week for visiting, but they do have protected meal times and ask visitors to avoid meal times where possible, as it can sometimes discourage residents from eating.

The staff are also good with my dad, he spends a lot of time visiting mum and will always ask him if he'd like a drink or offer him food. They have different activities throughout the week and also treatments for residents such as hair and pedicures. The treatments are an additional cost but not expensive.

Thank you for your lovely review. We will make sure it is shared with the whole team. There are quieter lounges within the home that staff would be happy to show you on your next visit, should you want an alternative to returning to mum's room.

We are sorry you have felt unhappy with the care your mother-in-law has received and also the need to complain through this media platform. I have been into the home and have not found any complaints raised in conjunction with the concerns you have raised in your review with exception of an item that went missing (Biscuit tin) that I believe could not be located and have not received any complaints from the social worker which due to the relationship between you and the resident we would need confirmation of. However, I am happy to speak to you directly to raise the concerns through the complaints procedure, as we would for any interested person with concerns for a vulnerable adult in our care.

Thank you for your review and although your experience with Ferndene was clearly mixed, we appreciate your feedback and for giving us the opportunity to action the points you raise.
It is crucial, particularly at end of life that we do everything we can to help the person, and their family, to achieve the best outcome possible. We are therefore very sorry that your expectations weren’t fully met and your experience was not always the best it could have been. We do have a process for recording people’s belongings on admission, and I can only apologise if this didn’t happen. We will ensure all staff are made aware and improvements are put in place to reduce any further occurrence. Thank you again for your feedback

We are all shocked and saddened to hear of your experience with our home including the manager who was unaware you felt this way. As a company we always encourage relatives of loved ones to contact the home if they have any concerns and we apologise if you felt you couldn’t do this. I understand the manager has spoken to you. Your review has now triggered our complaints procedure. Please be assured your comments are being fully investigated and the outcome will be shared with you.

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.350) out of 10 for Ferndene Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.350 for Ferndene Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (85 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 137 Ratings = 4.35
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 Ferndene Care Home is based on 11 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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6, which has been reached with 11 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.
