Farthings Residential Care Home

All the staff are very welcoming, extremely friendly and treat residents with tremendous dignity and an enormous amount of kindness. However taxing recent times have been, everyone has still worked very hard to provide much needed happiness to my lovely mum.

My husband moved to Farthings in January 2020 as a below retirement age resident following a very bad fall. The staff have been amazing at welcoming us, reassuring us and genuinely caring for him. It has been a tremendously difficult time for us and our children, but they have done everything to keep the residents safe through the pandemic, even though this has meant making difficult decisions. My husband is content and just needs a couple more men to keep him company and watch the sport in amongst all the women. I’m picky, Team Farthings are amazing. No doubt, we’ll have our moments navigating the care of my hubby but I know we’re working as a team in his best interests. (Note, I’ve said ‘Don’t know’ on activities because it’s been lockdown. I hope more will happen soon but it’s a very hard time and everyone is doing the best they can).

My mother is a resident of Farthings; I find that my mother is given excellent care and attention by professional and extremely caring staff. They are always willing to assist and help Mum who is suffering from Dementia, she is often confused and forgetful, but the dedicated staff are always there to help and reassure Mum. I would recommend to anyone who would wish for 1st class care for their loved ones, to be cared for and nursed at Farthings Residental Care Home. I cannot praise them enough.

The Farthings has been very proactive in maintaining the health and wellbeing of its residents during the present Coronavirus pandemic and has been excellent in keeping us informed about the resident for which I act with Legal Power of Attorney. It is a credit to the home manager that no resident has tested positive for Covid-19 and all residents have remained safe and well.

A programme of refurbishment means that both the interior and exterior are attractive, modern and fresh. We feel very lucky that our mother has made Farthings her home and could not wish for anywhere that meets her needs better.

Excellent, family-based care home offering holistic care. Mum is treated like a family member and feels safe in this environment. As family, we are also encouraged to visit and participate in activities. All staff are very caring and treat Mum as an individual - they understand her needs and care for her appropriately.

This is an excellent care home we looked at three before we put my granny in Farthings, none of them lived up to their standards. Excellent staff, they are very friendly and caring towards my grandmother and very clean throughout the building. The food is excellent so perfect in every way. Our mind is settled to know that our granny is getting well looked after.

Thank you to everyone at Farthings.

This is a lovely rural home with a large airy sitting room looking over the courtyard garden. The food is home cooked, the rooms are clean, spacious and modern but it is the level of care from the outstanding staff which really makes this home special. They looked after my mum for two years always treating her with complete respect, dignity, exceptional kindness and good humour. They went out of their way to get her special equipment and facilities that made her life more comfortable and nothing was too much trouble. Every resident is treated as an individual and their well being is of paramount importance. I cannot thank them enough for what they did and I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend this home to others.

The home has an activities organiser who organises activities for the residents, they also have people come in for entertainment.

The Manager is very professional, caring and empathetic and went above and beyond to ensure my sister had all the help she needed from other agencies and peoples.

I would certainly recommend this home.
