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.
We look forward to many years to come with your mum and supporting your family too.

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.
Her family are extremely happy with the care my mother receives. The management and staff have been and continue to be remarkable during the Covid-19 pandemic. As far as my mother is concerned, her care has been seamless and she appreciates why, for instance, the staff wear masks. Established and...
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.
We look forward to future fun times with mum and all our wonderful ladies and gents

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.
I feel they...

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.
Thank-you for your exceptionally kind words, Maggie. Every Farthings resident and their family for that matter, joins our extended family the moment they walk in the door. I can honestly say that your Mum has been a special addition and is talked of often. None of us can watch "Strictly come dancing" without thinking of her! Best wishes to you and your family. Please do call in and see us!
The meals are excellent,...
The home has an activities organiser who organises activities for the residents, they also have people come in for entertainment.
The staff went out of their way to cater for my sister's needs and as a former hospital social worker who has visited many care homes, it is one of the friendliest I have been in.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.

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.
