Overall Experience

Farnham Mill staff have always treated my Granny with the utmost care and attention. From the times I have visited, I can see they are very dedicated to their residents, making sure each person receives the individual support they need. I know my Granny receives plenty of emotional comfort, care, and

friendly chats! The atmosphere at the home is always warm and welcoming, and the staff go above and beyond to make it feel like a true community.

Overall Experience

As soon as you step into Farnham Mill, you are greeted by a friendly and inviting atmosphere created by the staff from every department - Reception, Care, Nursing, Activities, Housekeeping, Hospitality, Maintenance, and Management. The caregivers are kind and patient and always on hand to help residents

and visitors alike. The nursing team is outstanding, answering questions and providing support, even offering a comforting hug when needed! The level of communication I receive from them is excellent. I would like to give a special mention to the kitchen staff, who accommodate special dietary needs. My 95-year-old Mum has coeliac disease, and it's reassuring to know that all her gluten-free meals are served separately, wrapped in cling film, and clearly labelled. I can rest easy knowing Mum is well looked after, not only by the care teams but also by those who work diligently behind the scenes. My siblings and I highly recommend Farnham Mill, as they have been nothing but exceptional.

Reply from Hannah Webb, HR & Finance Advisor at Farnham Mill Nursing Home

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a fantastic 5-star review, which is a testament to the care of all the team. We take all dietary requirements very seriously, as well as general preferences; thank you for your recognition of the team's work regarding your Mum's Coeliac requirements. Your feedback will mean so much to everyone at Farnham Mill, and it was a pleasure to care for your Mum. Thank you again.

Overall Experience

My experience of becoming a new volunteer has been one of delight and happiness. The ladies on reception are always so welcoming and helpful and there is always a smile to greet you. The carers and all staff are so caring and professional towards the residents on all floors and nothing is too much trouble

for them. The activity staff are equally delightful and put so much effort into making the residents happy and included in an appropriate activity for them. I have also assisted on a few trips out recently where we visited a Garden Centre, Cafe and Pub and the organisation went so smoothly and the residents had a lovely time. I feel as though I have slotted straight into a very friendly group of Volunteers and a very happy home.

Overall Experience

We had the day room to celebrate Dads birthday on Saturday, 29 March. One member of staff set up tea and coffee and decorated it beautifully. We had a lovely time and played with the balloon and batons (Dad really gets involved in this game). His grandchildren enjoyed spending time with their Granddad

in this private space and had a special treat of choosing a can of fizzy drink from the fridge! We also celebrated with a cake on his actual birthday on Monday, 31 March. We all sang Happy Birthday and shared the cake amongst staff and residents. My Dad was smiling away the team all helped with the candle and birthday banner. Thanks also to another member of staff for taking all the bookings and kitchen for making the cake. It made my Dad feel special. Thank you

Overall Experience

The care that my granny receives at Farnham Mill is exceptional. The whole team really are her extended family. On every visit we are greeted with the warmest welcome from reception, who are always so kind and genuinely interested in how we are and what we have been up too. The staff caring for and

entertaining granny are dedicated, professional and so respectful. They are always on hand to help. The home is always so clean, and beautifully decorated for each occasion. The events we attend are so special, the catering and entertainment is always fabulous and allows us to make more precious memories with gran. All granny's great grandchildren love coming to see her. The private rooms and outside areas are great for them to run around in. They say they feel very happy when they visit and they love the fuss and treats they are given.

As a family we feel so lucky that granny lives in such a safe, happy and fulfilling environment. She deserves nothing less. Thank you

It has been very reassuring that the team at Farnham Mill has kept us fully informed about recent health issues mum has experienced. I am not easily able to visit her so I have the peace of mind, as I have always had, that mum is being well looked after and all necessary measures put in place for her

to be comfortable and recover. She is in very safe hands.

Overall Experience

The level of care that my wife received over more than 3 years residency was consistently outstanding, being unfailingly loving and attentive even when, as her dementia increased towards the end of her life, she became rude and difficult to deal with. I cannot praise too highly the way in which all

involved contributed to her care. I am also deeply grateful for the invariable kindness and support which was extended to me over the years, especially when my wife was approaching the end of her life, and subsequently after her death. The atmosphere in the nursing home is always very friendly and welcoming. Management and all members of staff know each resident by name, and go out of their way to talk to them while going about their daily tasks. Visitors are always made to feel welcome. The light and airy design of the building, the artworks in the communal areas and residents' rooms and the furnishings, contribute significantly to the overall welcoming and very pleasant ambience.

Overall Experience

Mum had Alzheimer's disease and spent her last two years at Farnham Mill. From reception to nursing staff and management it was very professionally run and mum was cared for as we would have wished, to help her live her best possible life through each stage. There are no temporary staff which means

you build up relationships and trust with those looking after her. I have no hesitation in recommending Farnham Mill

Overall Experience

Both my parents have lived at Farnham Mill for 4 years. My mother has Alzheimer's and my father had been her carer for many years until he became too elderly to manage. The staff have always been very kind and considerate to both my parents. They have received regular health checks, and they are wonderful

when my mother becomes difficult. When my father was in his final days we were kept informed regularly, a local vicar was brought in to pray with him, which he would very much have wanted. He also enjoyed the regular communion services by a visiting vicar. Farnham Mill have really helped in making all the arrangements for his funeral, including bringing my mother along to the service and 3 members of staff attending. They have provided many special extra touches over the years, such as a celebratory tea for their 70th wedding anniversary and some recent pictures of him as a tribute to him. I am very pleased he spent his final years so well looked after.

Overall Experience

Overall Farnham Mill cared for my terminally ill husband very well. It was good that the nurses liaised willingly with staff from the local hospice and the tissue viability nurse - without these people I think his care would not have been nearly as good. However, sometimes the staff seemed slow to respond

to changes in his condition and were slow to give him pain relief. I felt that they waited for him to ask for help even after this became difficult for him as he became weaker and sometimes dosey or confused. It helps when a visitor discusses concerns with senior staff. He disliked the nights and felt that the night staff were often too busy to respond quickly to calls for assistance. He felt that they were "unapproachable" . My main concern about his being in a nursing home was how much of the time he spent alone, but some of this was his choice when he was still mobile and could have joined in more activities.

Reply from Hannah Webb, HR and Finance Advisor at Farnham Mill Nursing Home

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It was a real honour to care for your husband, providing palliative care in partnership with the Palliative Care Team. We are really proud of always answering 90% of our call bells under 3 minutes, day or night, but sometimes it can feel longer during the nights, and we can only apologise for that feeling.We have a duty of care to give prescribed and controlled pain relief at the correct intervals, particularly when someone is very frail. We work in partnership with the Doctors to put comfort as a priority, especially at end of life. Everyone at Farnham Mill will miss your husband and we offer our sincere condolences. You are always welcome to visit our home, everyone will be so pleased to see you. Please be reassured we will be in touch with you directly to discuss your feedback in further detail.

My mother has been at Farnham Mill for several years now. I can't fault the care she receives in any way. Additionally the staff are always extremely welcoming to visitors. This year we have had the new challenge of getting my mother to and from hospital appointments and procedures, and the home has

provided perfect guidance and practical support for this process.

My wife was in Farnham Mill Nursing Home for about 15 and a half months. The care was excellent, staff ensured she was as safe as possible. They liaised with medical and dietary professionals and ensured my wife had the treatment and diet required. They were very patient and did their best to ensure

my wife had sufficient nutrition. Some staff were able to speak Cantonese (my wife's first language) to her. They also encouraged my wife to be involved in activities that she would enjoy and benefit from.

Overall Experience

My dad was a resident of Farnham Mill for just over a year and the care he received there was outstanding. Farnham Mill is a lovely environment with excellent facilities, the highest standards of cleanliness and great food but it is the staff who make it so special. All of the staff are wonderful -

friendly, professional, compassionate and caring. My dad was always treated with kindness and respect and it is clear that the staff constantly strive to provide the best care possible. Family and other visitors were welcomed at any time and the communications and updates from nursing staff were very helpful. In the last days of his life my dad received exceptional nursing care and such kindness from everyone at the home who were also so supportive towards myself and my mum. It is a very difficult decision to have to choose a nursing home for a parent but I could not recommend Farnham Mill more highly.
