Mum had a great 18 months at Church Farm and enjoyed all the activities on offer. She loved so many of the great staff and at her passing the love and care they had for her was also very great. Keep on doing what you do so well and only getting better with the appointment of your amazing new manager.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review.
We are delighted to hear that your mum enjoyed her 18 months at Church Farm and that she was able to take part in and enjoy the activities on offer.
Your kind words about the care, compassion and dedication shown by our...
We chose Church Farm as it was a lovely homely vibe on our visit dad has really enjoyed the singing and entertainment provided here. Thank you to all the lovely staff involved in dads care during his time here.
Thankyou for your kind review of Church Farm. We are very pleased that you were happy with the care your father received by our staff during his time at the home, and that you rated our entertainment choices. I will pass on your best wishes to our wonderful staff.
My father moved to Church Farm Care Home in April & I have to say I am beyond amazed with this place in every way.
The leadership & single member of staff I have seen or spoken to have been professional, friendly, polite & absolutely fantastic with all of the residents and I cannot fault a single one of them in the slightest.
The manager & deputy manager are very professional, approachable & so engaged and on hand and involved with the residents, staff and what is going on within the home also, nothing seems to be too much trouble for them & they will always make time to speak to you if you need to speak to them.
As someone with a very strong senior leadership background myself you can see quality leadership in others and in my opinion Church Farm are very lucky indeed to have their manager & leading the home which in turn gives me great reassurance that my father is in a very good place/environment and is receiving the very best care & support he can.
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful feedback. We are truly grateful for your words of appreciation. It means a great deal to the entire team to know that their dedication and hard work are recognised. We take great pride in creating a warm, supportive environment for both our residents...
Its nice to know she's joining in the activities.
Thank you for your kind review of Church Farm. The staff at the home have worked extremely hard over the last year to provide the best quality care as possible, and we are happy you have seen an improvement in your wife! I will pass on your praise to the staff and management.
My mother has been a resident for 5 years I can not fault the care she has been given. The staff are very friendly and approachable.
Thank you for your kind review. The management and staff team at Church Farm have worked extremely hard over the last year and I will pass your praise over to them.
Excellent care and friendly staff. Lovely environment. Activities suited for all residents.
Mum sadly passed away on December 24th and after being a resident at the home for more than 4 years I thought it would be only correct to share my thoughts with future residents families. Mum had vascular dementia that was getting progressively worse. However at no time during her stay did I feel the attention to detail of looking after Mum wavered. The staff were always lovely with her and also I felt kept me up to speed if she had any falls or doctor had visited they always updated my wife and myself.
The home is not the most modern but my father, when he was alive, lived in one that was like a 5 star hotel but had no sole to it. Church Farm has this in spades and with you being allowed to have meals with your family member pre-Covid times those things mean so much. The main eating and lounge area are lovely so visitors can get together with other residents and have a chat, as well as there being smaller areas for more personal visits.
No complaints from our family.
We would like to put on record how wonderful her care has been, the care home have made her so welcome and the care she tells us she gets is fantastic, and the food is to die for! (top-class hotel standard) In these challenging times we live in, the home have gone out of their way to help her celebrate her 100th birthday at a time when we can't even visit.
We have to say a Big Thank You to the management, all staff and carers at Church Farm!
You have made one Lady feel very special today. Thank You.
Based upon 8 months experience. Scenic, accessible location - spacious attractive grounds - good car park. Friendly staff (carers, nursing, canteen, cleaners) treat residents with fondness and dignity. Clean, fresh and bright room (with ensuite) personalised with family photos and memorabilia and own TC. Dining area spacious and bright - quality food, well varied. Several small, cosy lounges looking out over pleasant country view and TV. It is such a comfort to know Father-in-law is in a safe secure, friendly, caring environment - worth every penny. Overall the facility, in my opinion, is well managed and professionally run.
The staff are always welcoming and caring. The fixtures and furnishing and general decor are constantly being updated. They now have a permanent activities coordinator,m which has considerably improved with the activities. There are regular resident/family meetings to discuss any issues or improvements. The food is always wholesome and well presented and offers a wide choice of dishes and will always cater for any specials requests at any time of day.
