At the The Fern Dean we are committed to enhancing the quality of life for all our residents. We feel it is our vocation to ensure that residents feel valued and loved within their home. We strive to promote an optimal quality of life through a progressive approach to resident’s social care. This approach includes a commitment to continually improve the services we provide.
Parkruns
Parkruns are a fun community event. The parkruns have social, physical and mental health benefits for all who participate. Participants are encouraged to walk, jog or run all over the world every Saturday at 9.30am. These are welcoming, inclusive events and are a brilliant initiative for bringing communities together. The team at The Fern Dean are delighted to get involved. We always strive to engage with and promote local events whenever possible. Weather permitting this will be a frequent event for the residents, families & team throughout the year.

Food
At The Fern Dean all meals are prepared fresh, from scratch, each day by our qualified chefs and their team.
Our residents are provided with a choice of meals daily and all specialised diets and special requests are catered for. All menus are devised with the input from a dietitian.
Meals are served in our dining rooms. Alternatively, residents may choose to have meals served in their rooms.
Social Activity
Our unique approach to planning social events starts by finding out what our residents like to do. We then arrange individual and group trips to theatres, concerts and art galleries to suit your tastes. Meanwhile, back at The Fern Dean there’s always something happening; from art appreciation classes, varied musical performances, exercise classes to summer barbeques and family fun days.
