Thanks for your lovely words, we think the world of Mum and love having her with and she makes a wonderful contribution to the wall displays, a top crafter and creator! Dementia is a cruel disease but we are proud to be able to support Mum through her difficult times here at Farthings.

To their great credit, I have found the Farthings staff to be extremely patient, supportive and focused on the care and well being of the residents. A possible criticism is phone contact with the home. Often the phone line is crackling and conversations become incomprehensible, or you end up on the answerphone.
Thanks so much for your kind words, Mike, as ever we love having your mum with us and yes we look forward to the near future with some normality to our visits and day to day activities in the home along with welcoming family and friends back into the home. We can only agree the phone line remain a difficult obstacle to conquer though I can assure you we are continuing to look at options to make the required improvements to the phone lines we have over the last few years gone down many different avenues to improve the phone lines but with little success, we will as I say continue to look at other options.

I’ve worked in care homes for over 24 years now, qualified with Level 2 and 3 in Health & Social Care, Level 5 Management of Adult Residential Health & Social Care Settings and a Level 7 CMI Strategic Management qualification. I followed my mum into the job by volunteering at our local care home where she worked, she had also followed her mum into care, as my nana was the Matron of a council care home for 20 years.
Everything I do makes me happy in my role but nothing more so than seeing my residents smile and knowing the staff feel supported and also enjoy their jobs, as it can be long and at times difficult hours in care work.
Over the years I have worked in 12 different homes, some of those were for the same company as I progressed, but to me, Farthings outweighs all previous experiences through my career. I feel happy and content here, I wake every day happy to come to work even through difficult times in the industry I always feel supported and encouraged by the Directors and the family as a whole.
My favourite thing overall is that the home is family run, but led by the resident's wants and wishes. Ashall Care Ltd go above and beyond to ensure the residents receive everything they need along with The Farthings Team all together really get on and enjoy working together.
I feel 100% confident in the delivery of care to our residents is second to none.
I’m a Director at Ashall Care Ltd and the Nominated Individual with the CQC for Farthings. Farthings has been part of my family’s heart and lives for over 30 years. I have spent over 12 years working in various roles for the NHS, this gave me a great foundation of how care organisations should operate and how to set, achieve and maintain high standards of care.
I have been working operationally at Farthings for over 9 years and it has been an absolute pleasure to be part of and seeing the home grow, evolve and move forward over this time.
Every time I’m at Farthings I hear laughing amongst the residents and the staff team, it is truly heart-warming to know that the residents are happy and well looked after, as part of the Farthings family, and that the staff team are happy in their work.
