Review from Mark L (Son of Resident) published on 11 March 2021 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Mum has been a resident at the Farmhouse for almost three years. She is very happy and cared for there, to a very high standard, by a dedicated, friendly and efficient team of staff. She regularly makes very positive comments on the food and care provided. We live a long distance away, but the manager and her team keep us well informed of all important events relating both to Mums personally and to The Farmhouse generally. The worrying risks around Covid-19 have been managed extremely well and, in our experience, I doubt the residents could be in safer hands anywhere. The home itself is functional, as opposed to luxurious and has very few en-suite rooms, which is the only aspect of The Farmhouse I could criticise. However, Mum’s room is light, spacious, homely and perfectly pleasant with a great view and, like the whole building, is kept very clean and well-maintained. As far as we are concerned, the very high care standards provided are the key, and The Farmhouse excels in this regard.

Review from Patricia R (Niece of Resident) published on 30 December 2020 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
If you could pick a residential home for 100% care, the safety of staff and residents. I would also add the immediate reaction for ever-changing COVID instructions, I would certainly highly recommend The Farmhouse. The manager and the staff are so dedicated. They looked after my Aunt so well.

- Outstanding - The service is performing exceptionally well.
- Good - The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
- Requires Improvement - The service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
- Inadequate - The service is performing badly and we've taken action against the person or organisation that runs it.
- Not rated - we have not yet rated this area of the service, this is normally because the assessments we have carried out have been focused on other key questions.
