View Full Details of Fairknowe House Care HomeOn arrival at Fairknowe, things seemed very busy with the gardens being maintained, which meant parking was fairly limited. Once inside, the staff were very polite and approachable, and the manager had tried to update me on my mother's progress since I was last there. All in all, I am very happy with what I experienced and more importantly, my mother is happy at Fairknowe.
Relatively small size and number of residents lens to a friendly, family atmosphere. The staff know their residents. The food served looks appealing and well-planned. Good activities are planned for residents, and all the staff are friendly, approachable and communicative. Often difficult to get an answer on the phone. The Resident's lounge is not a good place to meet the family, often loud TV or residents speaking loudly to themselves. No seating for visitors.
Mum has lived at Fairknowe House for a year prior to that she lived with us (she has Alzheimer's Dementia) for 5 years. Mum is so happy content and calm I often wonder if I should have made the difficult decision for her to live at Fairknowe House sooner. Anytime we visit (and we don't give prior notice) she is clean, smiling, well dressed, and her room is spotless as is the rest of the Care Home.
Overall care, very happy with. However, Mum still has only one hearing aid. Her left one was lost a few weeks ago. Have been continually asking for the hairdresser to do her hair on a regular basis but so far no joy! Telephones are an issue, particularly for relatives who cannot visit on a regular basis. Telephones need to be working!
I cannot praise the staff more highly for the way in which the residents are cared for and the respect they are shown. The excellent facilities and special events which are made available for all to see are a bonus.
My mother moved into the Fairknowe House Care Home in March this year. She has settled in quickly which in my opinion is due to the excellent care and attention she receives daily by the staff. I've seen a very positive improvement in her overall in the short time she has been a resident. The staff have various activities etc. Even styling Mums haor in the mornings even though they are very busy. The staff at Fairknowe are wonderful.
I find all the staff very helpful and they keep the residents all occupied every day. I am extremely happy with the care my friend receives from all the staff also it’s a very pleasant home to enter, always a friendly face and it is extremely clean.
When my Dad took up residence at Fairknowe Care Home he was a medically ill, underweight and confused man. I am really pleased that he has improved during his time in Fairknowe and is now quite content, comfortable, well cared for and relatively healthy for his age. All the Fairknowe staff are friendly and caring and they make an effort to get to know all the residents and their families personally. My Dad also enjoys the food at Fairknowe.
