My aunt was a resident here for several months and thoroughly enjoyed her stay until her death. Her room was lovely with a calming feel yet bright and roomy.
When we visited her the reception we received from the team was excellent, and always very welcoming. The home is immaculate. As a funeral director,
I have visited many nursing homes, and Fernhill is definitely one of the best. Thank you for taking such great care of my wonderful aunt in her final months.

My husband's mum went to Fernhill House Care Home for respite while we moved home. We have to say Fernhill House was outstanding in every way, very tastefully decorated and furnished throughout, very clean, all staff were very attentive and took great care of Mum, so much so, she requested to go and
stay again when we go away. Mum loved all of her meals, 3-courses, every meal time served with whatever drink you wanted from water, pop even wine. We joined Mum for Sunday lunch during her stay, we had a little family dining area, and the food was excellent. Mum also enjoyed going to the cinema room there as well a film every afternoon with the sweets and popcorn cart in there. Mum rang very excitedly one evening to tell us what a lovely day she had as someone took some birds of prey in and they put a glove on her hand, and they flew straight onto her hand, then she finished her day with a gin and tonic at the bar, which they have there. We have nothing but praise for Fernhill House - everyone does an amazing job.

A lovely location and building that feels like a smart boutique hotel. For my mum I think it’s like being on holiday.
The friendly, professional team have been looking after my mother for over a year now, and I can honestly say it’s a huge relief she is being cared for so well. Although confused with
her deteriorating Alzheimer’s condition, emotionally she seems happy and content as the team keep her safe and entertained.

My mother has been a resident at Fernhill House Worcestershire for the past 4 years.
Although it is extremely sad for my sister and I to watch our mother deteriorate with the awful dementia.
We could not wish for her to be in a better place.
We feel comfortable that she is being well looked after
and the mental stimulation and entertainment provided is excellent. Mom has put weight on because the food is fabulous. The decor and cleanliness is superb.
There is a website which allows us to see live updates of what mom is doing and eating etc. Which makes us feel constantly connected.

My husband went into Fernhill House Care Home after a fall at home, the in hospital for four weeks. The hospital; advised nursing home care (as I am 80). My daughter and I reviewed this beautiful home and decided it was best. It was the right decision. My husband has the best loving care until he passed

My mother-in-law who lives with us, went into Fernhill House Care Home for a period of respite in March 2022 while my husband and I were away. My mother-in-law gets very anxious when she is taken out of her normal environment. The staff could not have been any more welcoming and could not have made
her feel any more comfortable. The attention my mother-in-law received relived any feelings of anxiety. When we fetched her, all the staff came out to say goodbye and invited her to pop in and have a coffee. The facilities lend themselves to feel like you in a hotel and not a care home. My mother-in-law remarked, that it was like being on a holiday herself. My mother-in-law would definitely like to go back to Fernhill House Care Home the next time my husband and I go away.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

We found Fernhill House for my Dad who was in hospital for 4 weeks, with dementia and very poor mobility. The day before he was transferred my Mum and I went to see Dad's room and took some of his familiar things, including some books of his interests. The day he arrived the staff sat with him, talking
about the books and made him feel very comfortable after his traumatic 4-week hospital stay.


The staff did everything they could to ensure Dad was comfortable and content, encouraged him to eat and drink (and take his medication), and even wrapped him up in blankets to take him outside in a wheelchair for the Christmas event so he could see Santa and meet the alpacas. They even took him into the 'pub' for lunch a couple of times to encourage him to eat.


Sadly Dad passed away after only 12 days, but from the moment he arrived at Fernhill House, he was more relaxed and settled. We couldn't have wished for a more caring place for him to spend his last days. Thank you!

Basic care needs are not being met for my grandmother. Dirty nails and teeth and every time we visit either her glasses, hearing aids, or both are not available so she cannot communicate with her family. This week my brother visited from Dublin with her great-grandchildren. They had not even considered
charging her hearing aids to make sure her visit was fulfilling and her glasses were still lost. This is the fifth time of asking and no responses from the care home are given. The appearance of the home is very pleasant but the basics are overlooked. Nobody seems to care.

Thank you for taking the time to write. I am grateful for your feedback and would like to take this opportunity to apologise that you felt standards were not up to your expectation. Please be assured that all feedback is held in the highest regard and with the utmost importance.
Contact with immediate family members has been ongoing, which has resulted in positive communication taking place and the issues of concern have been discussed in detail and addressed accordingly, with the exception of one item of equipment which is currently being sourced.


Our new General Manager and highly experienced Memory Care lead are working closely with your family members to ensure that they receive the very best, unique care and enjoy the rich and fulfilling lifestyle Fernhill House has always been known for.


Thank you again for providing the above, please do not hesitate to contact myself or Fernhill House's new General Manager at any point.

Sadly my Dad was discharged from hospital into Fernhill House, for end-of-life care, following a severe stroke. He was only at Fernhill House for a short time, but I cannot fault the care he received and the compassion that all the staff showed for him, myself and my family. This was a very difficult
time for all concerned but I felt reassured that Dad was in the best possible place at this time. Thanks to all concerned.

Excellent care. Professional. Impressed with high levels of provision. During mum's stay, we were so happy with her care and attention she received was incredible. She enjoyed the food, entertainment and company provided by the care home during the lockdown. Staff assisted mum using Facetime and facilitated

Fernhill is a wonderful setting, the facilities are excellent, all is very new and everything is in very good condition. The food is first class, the restaurant and bistro are lovely. Bedrooms are immaculate, and the ancillary services, hairdressing, nails and cinema are all like a top-end hotel. However,
the best thing at Fernhill is the wonderful, caring, professional and dedicated staff. They cared so beautifully for our mother in the 18 months she was at Fernhill. She was treated magnificently and no one could have been kinder. We are so grateful, and always will be. She was cared for so well during her last months, by both the care staff and the medical team. The dignity of her death, and the love surrounding her, was all due to these wonderful people and we owe them a huge debt of gratitude. The excellent precautions and diligence regarding Covid-19 kept it well at bay, and I can only commend the staff and management team for their professionalism in this awful matter.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (10.000)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (10.000) out of 10 for Fernhill House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 5.000 for Fernhill House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (191 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 191 Ratings = 5

  • 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 Fernhill House Care Home is based on 16 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 16 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.

I have worked at Fernhill House for over 5 years.


I have worked in care for almost 15 years.


My favourite part of my job is getting to know all the residents and gaining additional grandparents!
I am the first point of contact for all residents who require dementia care.


I enjoy meeting residents before they move in, then I love to help them settle into the home.


I lead the teams on the Clover Suite here at Fernhill House.

Hello, my name is Victoria.


I have been with Fernhill House for almost three years.


I enjoy every day here as there is always something exciting going on.


I and the whole housekeeping team keep the home looking beautiful!


We love getting to know the residents and assisting them with their housekeeping requirements.


That could involve mending an item of clothing, tidying their wardrobes as well as taking care of their laundry.


I love spending time with each and every resident and helping them to make sure they get the best out of every day whether that is mending favourite items of clothing, tidying wardrobes or even just sitting and chatting with them.


Myself and the whole housekeeping team are committed to making Fernhill House the best place to live and enjoy every moment.
