From walking into the home we were greeted by such friendly attentive staff. Nothing was too much trouble in very upsetting circumstances. Our mum was treated with dignity and respect at the end of her life and we her family were allowed privacy and kindness from all members of staff.

Our brother entered Lower Farm in late July 2024. It was always known that he was terminally ill and sadly he passed away in late September. During his stay, all the staff provided him with very good care and treated him with respect and consideration making his stay during a very difficult time as
pleasant as possible. Equally, the manager and her staff were always available to talk to relatives as well as provide proactive updates on his well-being and made friends and family welcome when visiting. This was particularly important for the family due to the long distances we all live from King's Lynn. The final call from Lower Farm, never a good call to make, was very important as it gave us a last chance to spend some time with our brother before he passed away. Very professional but as importantly very kind and compassionate care.

They try their utmost to make Mum as comfortable as
possible, as she is bedridden.
Whenever she wants something she gets it straight away if possible, obviously.
I have been very impressed with how Lower Farm is run. They are so caring and kind to Mum and I am so pleased I managed to get her a bedroom there.
The staff are also very kind and very friendly with me.
You can talk to the management about anything and they will do their best to sort things out.
So happy Mum is safe and happy in Lower Farm.

The management team are excellent! They keep me informed regarding Mum's weight and condition and will get in touch if there are any
concerns. The staff are quick to accommodate any of mum's needs, thus I know she will be well looked after.
There are also activities that the residents can participate in if they wish, and a beautiful pond in the garden, to spend some time outside, and to feed the ducks.

Note, on two times this has happened. Just one thing is please make sure the alarm/button, which are there for residents, are at the bedside where they can use for help etc. because my mother can't sit up out of bed to get to it. Needs to be with them.

My uncle has been a resident of this care home for many years and I can honestly say he has received the best care. The staff are always attentive and always put the residents first and work very hard to promote a relaxed and caring atmosphere. It is obvious the residents are well looked after at all

We moved my mum in March of 2023 to Lower Farm Nursing Home, from a care home that was not meeting her needs. Mum suffers from dementia and was rapidly losing weight at her previous care home but since moving to Lower Farm she has gained weight and is much happier. Mum's room at Lower Farm is much bigger
than her previous home with a lovely view and all the members of staff that myself and my wife have encountered have been very professional and friendly. The staff go out of their way to cater to my mum's needs and overall we are extremely happy with the excellent service and level of care that Lower Farm provides.

Mum was admitted to Lower Farm just over a year ago. I am happy to say that this is an excellent establishment with committed and caring staff who my mum adores. They are friendly and provide high standards of care. The facility is well furnished to provide for all care needs and is always clean and
tidy. The management team are excellent and communicates regularly with me as I am unable to visit regularly. When I visited however Mum seemed to be very happy, is always clean and well-presented. I cannot praise this establishment enough and coming from a registered nurse background and experiencing community care first-hand, I would have to say that Lower Farm is one of the best providers around and they excel in dementia care.

I am always made to feel welcome on my visits and offered a coffee. My friend is always
clean as is her bedding and her room. She does not leave her room but is invited to join in activities nonetheless.
The staff, all of them, have impressed me constantly. I had my friend in the garden looking at the ducks when one of the young girls from the kitchen came along. We started talking and she made a point of standing in front of my friend so she felt included. I was really impressed as obviously the dignity of the elderly is something held in high regard and as far as I can see this is the norm. As I do not live locally, I am very often on the phone, and again I am never made to feel that I am a nuisance.
Thank you Lower Farm from my friend and I.
