Testimonials
I would like to thank the staff of Ferbane Nursing home, who take such good care of my brother. They had to learn both what my brother wanted, and what was important to us, as his family. The staff have great attention to detail, empathy, listening skills and understanding of every situation. The care staff and nursing team are excellent with him. Thank you for taking such great care of him.
My wife Ellie has been a resident in Ferbane for over 3 years. What’s been particularly reassuring is the manner in which the staff keep in touch with day to day operations, down to the smallest detail. As a result, we have grown accustomed to the highest standard of care being maintained. Ellie very much appreciates the courtesy, attention and patience from all the staff and also enjoys the excellent cuisine.
Rooted in Our Community
Ferbane Care Centre can be described as a community within the community. We care for residents from the local area and further afield. A Men’s Shed, in the courtyard, is open to the local community, hosting activities to support men to live well in Ferbane.
