* Care Quality Commission is responsible for the registration and inspection of social care services in England.
The Review Score of 9.2 (maximum of 10) for Church Farm Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 30 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Church Farm Care Home in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 6 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.728 for Church Farm Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (273 Excellents x 5) + (69 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 356 Ratings = 4.728
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 4.5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Church Farm Care Home is based on 6 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 12 positive Reviews (60 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 6 Reviews ÷ 12 Target = 0.500
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Church Farm Care Home has a Review Score of 9.2 (9.228) from 30 Reviews
Review submitted from a Website Submission by Sally C (Daughter-in-law of Resident) on Saturday 14 April 2018. Relates to April 2018.
My mother-in-law moved into Church Farm at very short notice. The first few weeks she was very unsettled and wanted to return to her home which was distressing for all of us. But with the excellent care she has been given and the kindness of all the staff along with having people around her all day, she is now happy and moving back to her home is a thing of the past, she now calls Church Farm her home.
Since moving in, we have noticed a marked improvement in her mobility and general health, she is getting three healthy meals a day, has plenty of people to talk to and several afternoons a week there is some sort of entertainment most of which she really enjoys. Life has changed for the better for my mother-in-law since she moved into Church Farm and it is reassuring to see her being looked after so well.

The manager and her staff made my mum's stay at Church Farm just like being at home or as my mum would have said, a 5-star hotel! Every need and whim was catered for! From bubble baths to designing table mats for Valentine's Day, mum was made to feel loved and cherished by all the staff. An excellent care home. Thank you to everyone who looked after my mum.

My sister and I cannot thank all the staff at Church Farm enough for the absolutely wonderful care and support which they gave our mother over the last twenty years and at the end of her life.
Their dedication, kindness and patience was simply outstanding.
We will be forever grateful.

As soon as my mum arrived at Church Farm (23/12/13), the staff demonstrated a very welcoming and caring approach. This was consistent until mum passed away on 31/5/17 - I had tremendous peace of mind and trust in the care given.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by David D (Resident) on Wednesday 29 March 2017. Relates to March 2017.
The ambience of the care home is pleasant and relaxingly calm. I have not yet ventured out into the gardens but, from what I have seen from the windows, they look as though they will be very attractive when summer arrives.
This is my first long-term stay in a care home and would find it difficult to assess any competitive home. I could not imagine how Chapel Farm could be improved, given that, it must be operating discretely under financial restraint.
Staffing levels might cause some problems but there is no sign of these from this resident's view point. Likewise, catering and menu planning are not apparent. The problem area is time taken in serving meals. This could be eased by reducing the multiple choices on offer, or in serving those having personal choices after those who are accepting the preselected main items.
I suggest that more showering facilities be installed. There does, at present, seem to be insufficient for the demand.

I have found Church Farm Care Home to be a very supportive care home, not only to my mother but to all of my family, having been through a very emotional time we all really needed the support. The staff are all very professional but so willing to talk whenever I visit which is most days. The home is so clean and there seems to be a great rapport between staff and residents, I cannot thank everyone there enough for looking after my mother and doing it all in such a warm and respectful way.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Andi S (Son of Resident) on Wednesday 22 March 2017. Relates to March 2017.
Mum has been a resident since May 2016, life at Church Farm really suits her she has re-invented herself since moving there. Having been widowed since 2010 with failing health she had become a recluse in her own home, and the isolation was dragging her downhill, very little interaction with people and not eating properly etc.
She is now first up and last to bed, looking after other residents (she used to be a nurse on a geriatric ward). The Home and staff are really brilliant, always greet her with a smile and a joke. there are activities every morning and afternoon on weekdays. Just like another review says they pulled out all of the stops for her 91st Birthday in January. Christmas was fantastic with a great "White Christmas" show. When visiting I am always greeted by friendly staff, who always offer me refreshments. The management team and seniors always make time to discuss mum or just have a chat.
I have every faith in my mum's safety and wellbeing at Church Farm.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Jacqueline F (Sister of Resident) on Wednesday 22 March 2017. Relates to March 2017.
We have a long association with Church Farm Care Home, dating back to 1988. We felt that it was a "home away from home" for our sister since it offered beautiful accommodation in a setting reminiscent of our own home. The sitting and dining rooms and even the halls were full of warmth and nicely furnished and decorated and the bedroom offered all the amenities one could wish for, including private bathroom and individual access to the private walled garden in the back.
The staff coverage is excellent and available 24/7. They are all very professional but at the same time show compassion and caring for their residents, going out of their way to provide whatever is requested. Management really cares for the well-being of their residents and arranges many social activities and outings during the year. A small thing my sister really appreciates is her hot ovaltine and biscuits at bedtime every night! I can recommend Church Farm Residential Home very highly and most warmly indeed.

My mother recently celebrated her 90th birthday and Church Farn went our of their way to make it special. We were given a room to hold the party in and served refreshments all day. Particular mention to the senior care assistant and care assistant who made sure everyone had a great time.
The meal at lunch was good and the birthday cake was delicious. Mum had a lovely day and I will have good memories of the day. She was made to feel like a Queen.

Church Farm Care Home has been so supportive enabling my mother the respite care we both needed. The reassurance of having staff about 24/7 was what was needed. The staff were all very positive and friendly providing a lovely atmosphere. The room was very pleasant and well maintained. The catering was good and flexible encouraging my mother to regain her appetite.

As soon as I arrived I was treated with kindness, courtesy, and respect. Never did I see a cross face or hear an angry word. Always with kindness, everything was given particularly when I first arrived and really feeling ill. The attention and care given was phenomenal over and above the care of duty. From personal care to coaxing my appetite back with delicious nibbles. A home from home. Highly recommended and in the most delightful surroundings.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Chris M (Son of Resident) on Friday 29 April 2016. Relates to April 2016.
After meeting the manager and the Church Farm team back in January I knew I'd found the perfect place for Mum. I'd visited several other homes in the area but knew after being there for just 30 mins that this was "the one". It exceeded all expectation in as much as they not only cared superbly for Mum but they made my life so easier purely by having the assurance that they had everything in hand.
Unfortunately Mum's care and mental needs have changed considerably over the past few months so were currently in the process of trying to somewhere suitable, the trouble is there aren't many out there that have the same welcoming feeling as Church Farm. It's just a shame Mum couldn't enjoy life there a bit longer because you couldn't wish for somewhere better to look after your loved one that's for sure.

Following an operation I was unable to care for myself and my husband who has dementia. We went into Church Farm for respite care and was there for three weeks. It was first what I needed to recuperate and regain my strength. We were extremely well looked after. The food was always very good. The staff very attentive and many entertainments were organised.

I cannot praise Church Farm enough. Its always hard to see a loved one/friend having to go into care but the nurses, carers and all else involved have been so supportive to my lovely lady since being here. Such a comforting feeling knowing she is being looked after and cared for the way she is. They cater for the way she is. They cater for the individual needs which again is comforting to know. Happy friendly smiley faces and seeing my dear friend is content is the main aim. So thank you all. x

My Aunt and Uncle moved to Church Farm when they found they were unable to cope without care support. They were very happy in their new home, particularly as they were able to share a double room and not be parted. Following my uncle's death and my Aunt's deterioration in mental health to the point where she was largely unresponsive, the team worked hard to give her a life of dignity, love and security.

Mum has been a resident at Church Farm for over three years and is very happy and comfortable in the home, she has a lovely sunny room which overlooks the garden. Mum likes to join in with activities and enjoys the regular entertainment. 'Elvis' entertained at Easter, getting everyone singing along, their toes tapping and even some dancing. Mum enjoys the choice of freshly cooked meals and she is especially fond of all the staff who are very caring and look after her so well.

As a temporary resident, while I had a two week holiday, my husband settled in well, was well fed and cared for. He enjoyed the entertainment but also the privacy of his own room when he required it, such as being able to watch the television as he would if at home. He had his birthday whilst there and the home very kindly made a birthday cake for him which he appreciated.

We needed a care home to provide respite care at short notice. Church Farm were able to provide a room and dealt with the process, efficiently and compassionately.
My mother settled in very quickly and the staff have all been very kind and considerate. Mum quickly decided she wanted to become a long stay resident and is very happy for Church Farm to become her permanent home. We are all delighted with the care provided by Church Farm and by consideration shown by all staff.

My sister has received great care here for more than 15 years. She regards the staff are her friends and many of them seem truly fond of her.

My mother has been at Church Farm over three years. It is a lovely friendly residential home. The staff are caring, professional and efficient. Residents really feel it is their home. The manager and deputy are always available to talk to, for formal meetings or informal chats.
The home is excellently managed and the residents are looked after with compassion and dignity.
The residents are provided with regular group activities, bingo, movement to music, craft work and one to one activities with members of the staff.
The food is excellent and the kitchen staff strive to provide subtle changes, so that the meals remain interesting and appetizing.
I thoroughly recommend Church Farm.

Always happy with the service and quality. Carers always helpful and so efficient mum feels at home. Special little touches due to "extras" which are not expected. Quality and variety of food excellent and visitors feel welcome to share mealtimes with their loved ones.

I always look forward to visiting my mother at Church Farm Residential care home, not only because the setting is so peaceful and pretty, but because I enjoy seeing and having a chat with all the vibrant, friendly and wonderful staff. I am always confident that my mother is well cared for, as well as respected and treated as an equal in intelligence and all aspects of her daily life. Fantastic stimulating yet comforting activities. There is a wide choice of menus.
