We looked at other care homes in the area nothing compared to Fotherby House. Mum soon settled into routine. She is more mobile than when she arrived thanks to encouragement of staff. She is happy and feels safe at Fotherby House, an excellent care home.

Mother-in-law has recovered her normality beyond all expectations after a tough summer and five weeks hospital care. She is now far more mobile and able to join in the activities of the residents with a degree of enthusiasm which is unexpected. This is due to the care of the team at Fotherby House, it's atmosphere and inclusive. Thank you all.

My neighbour went to join the Fotherby Family a couple of years ago. Followed by her husband. They were wonderful neighbours for many years. She is not able to keep in touch anymore because of issues. Her husband kept in touch weekly and showered me with pictures of his wife and of him on trips out. Sadly he passed a few weeks ago and I miss his humour and updates. I now live the other side of the world so can not visit them both like I promised I would in 2025. He was really looking forward to it and said we can remember together life back when we were neighbours. I'm amazed that a care home have such wonderful trips and items for the residents to take part in. He loved being there before he passed and knowing his sweet wife and how she was before proved how happy they both were. He did ask me if I would mind if he told the owner of the home my feelings. Not at all I said. Fotherby House you are a wonderful home!

My mother has been at Fotherby House for 2 years and 2 months now and I consider her lucky to be in this lovely care home. The staff are wonderful, food excellent, care superb. Entertainment aplenty. Loads going on to keep the residents' minds and bodies active. I would recommend this small family-like home to anyone.

Always a friendly, warm atmosphere when visiting. Very much a home-from-home. All staff are very approachable. Fantastic activities and food. Mum always has a smile on her face. Lots of activities available or places to relax. Lovely outside area.

The care home is run with the utmost sufficiency, showing, at all times, the ultimate care and compassion and professionalism towards every resident and been able to supply/give individual care for people’s specific needs.

Fotherby House is just the best care home. My mother was a resident (or part of the Fotherby Family) for 12 months until she sadly passed away, aged 90, in September 2023. My mum had visited numerous people in Fotherby House over the years and had concluded that it was the best care home in Louth. Fortunately, there was a space at her time of need! The care for my Mum was first class. The room was perfect for her needs, it was private and had a small garden. The food is excellent, but the most important part is the staff. They are wonderful and provide great care and loads of love and support. My mum particularly enjoyed the daily activities, which got everyone involved and had lots of fun and laughter. Mum made new friends at Fotherby House and would play whist or dominoes in the afternoon or have a good chat about the good old days. So, for Mum, and indeed the whole family, Fotherby House was perfect.

My mum first visited Fotherby House on a weekly basis to use the assisted bathing facilities and enjoy lunch there, and later joined as a resident. She stayed there for over a year until her death in October. My sister and I can honestly say that throughout the different stages of her declining health, she was given a consistently high standard of care. The carers at all levels, the cook, and the management worked hard to give her attention, affection and expert care: she was treated as an individual, and when we visited, every effort was made to give us time with her, but always strictly observing Covid regulations. We were impressed by the attention to detail, for example, a special cake on her birthday, and the fact that four members of staff attended Mum’s funeral. From our experience, Fotherby House gets the important things right.
