Throughout the 4 years during which my mother and then my father were resident at Farnham Mill Nursing Home, our experience was always extremely positive. It's a bright, modern facility and the garden, with its ducks, is a lovely feature of the home. What makes Farnham Mill special is the brilliant
team - from the friendly welcome at Reception, to all the teams who work so hard to make the residents safe, happy and interested in life - the entertainment team, catering team, cleaning team and of course the incredible nursing team who genuinely care for the residents. James, the Manager, is always present. The chef was always willing to make a special meal if the menu didn't quite suit my mum's appetite. Nothing is ever too much trouble and the residents are cared for with genuine compassion and dignity. Both my parents passed away at Farnham Mill and the care they received at the end of their long lives was exceptional, as was the support that we received at this difficult time
Reply from Hannah Webb, HR & Finance Advisor at Farnham Mill Nursing HomeThank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words.

It is the perfect place for respite care; when the time comes, I only hope that Bob will spend his time here. The fees are rather high, but it was worth every penny knowing that he received the best care you would wish for. Thank you all.

My mother, who has Alzheimers, has now been at Farnham.Mill for 6 1/2 years and the care she receives is second to none. The consistency of the staff is key to making her feel safe and the patience and care they have is so good. They always treat her with dignity, compassion and humour and I know that
she is receiving the best of care.
Even though she is not able to take part in as many of the lovely activities as she used to, the staff ensure that she can access thise that she still enjoys and provide her with company and engagement.
Reply from Hannah Webb, HR & Finance Advisor at Farnham Mill Nursing HomeThank you for your kinds and trusting Farnham Mill with your mother's care for over six years, she's truly part of the Farnham Mill family.

My mother has been at Farnham Mill for over a year. Physically she is so much better. When she came in she had been cared for at home and was in bed all day with swallowing issues. Now she is eating solid food, sometimes by herself, and is up and dressed every day. The staff are all extremely kind
and welcoming and as agencies are not used you get to know them. Some of the dementia patients (including my Mum) are on the same floor as nursing patients which creates more of a family atmosphere where everyone is accepted. The home is very bright and airy and it is great to be able to get out into the garden and look at the ducks. A good range of activities are proposed so there is something for everyone. My mother particularly enjoys when singers come in which seems to happen every week. It is such a relief to have the nurses there and to be able to ask them whenever there are medical issues.
Reply from Hannah Webb, HR & Finance Advisor at Farnham Mill Nursing HomeThank you for taking the time to write a review. It's been fantastic to see your mother settle into life at the home. It's an honour to care for her, and a joy to see her improve physically throughout her time with us. We are so proud of our fantastic, permanent team - no agency staff results in a team built on longevity and dedication to offer the best care for our residents. Thank you again.

My mother has been in Farnham Mill for over a year now. I visit her almost daily and I am always greeted warmly on arrival by the excellent reception staff and all the staff make me feel so welcome. I am kept updated of illnesses and issues by the nursing staff regularly. I witness daily the endless
patience and kindness shown to some of the more challenging residents by the care staff and indeed by all staff. Residents are treated with respect and dignity. They are encouraged, but not forced, to join in the varied activities by an enthusiastic and friendly activities team. Their food preferences are always respected where possible, and residents and their rooms are kept clean. I would certainly recommend Farnham Mill as a nursing home should you need care for a loved one.
Reply from Hannah Webb, HR & Finance Advisor at Farnham Mill Nursing HomeThank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review, it means so much to all of the team. It's lovely to see your mother so happily settled into the community, she is truly part of the Farnham Mill family.

My mother is very well cared for and the staff make every effort to ensure that she is comfortable and takes part in activities that she is able to. Staff are always available to answer questions or to have a chat.
The reception staff are very welcoming and friendly and seem to remember everyone's
names!
Rooms and corridors are always clean and tidy, beds made and bins emptied.
I feel confident that my mother is safe and happy,

I have to say that we were very worried about putting our Dad in a home but it was the best decision that we had to make for him. He has so much more interaction with people and entertainment and care than he could ever have had from home!
The staff at Farnham Mill are absolutely amazing and as we
are going into his third year soon, to see the same familiar faces is amazing and a credit to the company.
A special mention is definately needed for Prabesh who is the best carer I have come across, so caring, patient and fun but in fact every single one of the staff seem to be happy to be working there which is lovely to see.
Maxine on reception also does an amazing job and makes you feel very welcome.
Chefs too are great!
Thanks to everyone involved in looking after our Dad and I would highly recommend Farnham Mill to anyone having to make the hard decision because once you make it, it's actually a huge relief! xxx

All staff are always welcoming, kind and accommodating each and every time I visit.
I feel entirely confident to approach them with any concerns and know things will be followed up and communicated.
Dad has clearly made relationships with most of the carers, nurses, activities staff and ancillary
members of the team- they always ensure he is included in what is going on, are aware of his needs and are reactive to how he is feeling- showing patience and give him time to communicate whatever it is he wants to say.
There is always a happy atmosphere and there is always something happening or event being planned.
Reply from Hannah Webb, HR & Finance Advisor at Farnham Mill Nursing HomeThank you for taking the time to write a review, we are so appreciative of your positive comments.

I should really do this more regularly, I cannot believe it has been a year since I last completed a review.
I continue from last year in the sane vane. I am so grateful for all the care and support that each and everyone of the staff provide to my mum. From a warm welcome on a Sunday morning from
the lovely weekend receptionists, to those that launder mums clothes, staff that keep her room immaculately clean, the kitchen staff who provide the most lovely meals and snacks to those who directly support mum with care and the entertainments team who work so hard to encourage not just my mum but all the residents in participating in activities, keeping them moving and providing fun, not forgetting Prabesh's manicure skills that i witnessed on a recent visit. I really could not be more comforted to know that mum is in safe hands. I would also like to compliment Sally (manager) for her continual presence and clearly amazing leadership that ensures the consistent high standards. Thankyou all

It is now just over one year that my husband has resided in Farnham Mill Care and Dementia Home.
Based on these twelve months of personal experience, I can only repeat the outstanding review I gave it last year.
My husband, aged 93, who was seriously mentally and physically ill on admission last
year, has made considerable improvements in both these areas, thanks to the professional care and personal dedication of all staff.
He feels esteemed and respected, an important factor in everyone's life and receives as much stimulation as is possible to give to anyone who lives under these conditions.
Throughout the year, regular review meetings and ad- hoc conversations with nursing and managerial staff have helped me to resolve and cope with complex situations regarding my husband's welfare.
I have no hesitation in recommending Farnham Mill to anyone who is looking for a care home where high professionalism matches personal dedication.
Reply from Hannah.webb, HR & Finance Advisor at Farnham Mill Nursing HomeThank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review.

All of the Farnham Mill staff are so pleased to see your husband settle into life at the home and to support in improving his quality of life. Please let us know if there is anything else at all we can do to support you both on this journey.
