What others have to say

Here are just some of the comments we’ve received from family, friends and residents at Ferndown Manor care home.

There is always something going on in the home. They have a fabulous activities team, really good at what they do... they stepped in when my loved one was having a difficult time, they took time to find out her interests and organised something for her. They arrange outings too... it is varied to cater to different interests and capabilities.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

They know my loved one's individual capabilities, they understand what she can and can't do and they provide precisely the right level of care day by day... if she needs help with anything, they are there. The slightest problem, they give me a ring... they always keep me in touch with what's going on. I can't fault them.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

The best thing about the home is the staff! They are all very capable and their approach to caring for the residents is outstanding… they want my loved one to be as happy as possible, I see that very clearly whenever I visit. She is always clean and well-presented and they are really on-the-ball when it comes to health issues.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

Thank you so much for all the kindness and care you showed my dad whilst at Ferndown Manor.

Family of a resident, November 2023

Thank you all so much for the wonderful care you gave our dad.
