Over all time Church Farm Nursing Home has 63 reviews.
I thoroughly recommend Church Farm Nursing Home. A lovely, homely and happy setting with lots of good food, activities, and fantastic caring staff and management. Dad has come on in leaps and bounds since taking residence over a year ago. Residents' family and friends are always welcomed and kept well informed. The addition of a Facebook page for relatives and close friends of residents brings a smile and lets us see what is happening day to day, there is also a monthly Zoom meeting where relatives can ask questions and get updates at this time. We are more than pleased with Dad's care, he is happy and relaxed, always clean and tidy and we are extremely secure in the knowledge that he is comfortable and being well cared for. Thank you Church Farm.
My mum has been a resident here for 3 years, the carers, management, administrators and nursing staff are all excellent. During 2020 and into 2021 they have all been the second family to the residents and have provided a safe and happy home during this time when we have been unable to be with our loved ones. The safety and happiness of the residents is the priority here and I would highly recommend.
Dementia is a cruel disease and in the current Covid pandemic, people like Dad have suffered greatly. The manager and his excellent team ensured that the very best medical, emotional and personal care was given to Dad. They restored his dignity
We can never thank them enough for the care and support of Dad and also his family.
Church Farm Nursing Home is very welcoming they not only opened their doors to Mum but they opened their doors to me too, I can’t thank the team enough. Life is very hard when a loved one is suffering with dementia but it takes so much pressure off family members knowing that their loved one is being looked after and cared for by such a caring team, I cannot thank them all enough for the job they do.
As I am now living some considerable distance from the care home and am unable to visit at this present time it is a great comfort to know that my wife is in such safe and caring hands.
The staff are always so caring, helpful and welcoming towards visitors.
Church Farm has a real family feel.
Before Covid l often used to eat there, the food was always excellent, especially the homemade cakes. The manager is a caring, positive, inspiring guy, who leads his amazing team by example - fantastic.
Dad has been at Church Farm for a number of years and we’ve found them all, from office staff to cleaners to kitchen to carers and management, to be wonderful at caring for him. It’s so difficult to care for others when they're not family but Church Farm Nursing Home are family, that’s how we look at it. Thank you all so very much for everything you do for Dad.
The staff have absolute unconditional positive regard and real love for all residents - who they call the Church Farm family.
Nothing is too much trouble for them. They are truly amazing.
Church Farm is an amazing home from home. I decided to move my father as his dementia was getting worse and the care home he was in didn’t meet his needs any more. The Manager is fantastic. He keeps you up-to-date with everything. After my father had been there for just a few weeks my mother joined him. Although she doesn’t really need nursing care, can be quite challenging. But she loves it they all make a fuss of her. What is obvious is that every member of the team are so loving and caring as if it was their own mum and dad.
Good meals, well cooked and tasty, could be a bit more variety. Mum is very well cared for by permanent staff. There do seem to be more activities in her lounge now and more participation from Mum is encouraged. All residents are treated equally whatever their capabilities. There is a nice relaxing feel to the home environment with effort made to make the lounges feel like 'home'. Pets are encouraged for visits. All in all, a very good home with caring staff.
Church Farm at Field House really had their work cut out when my dear old Mum was staying and they handled everything with the utmost of compassion, care, and exceptional professionalism, one could not ask for more. We, all in my family, cannot praise all the staff enough and we forward our sincere thanks. We wish all the very best of luck and a bright and successful future.
My father-in-law was only in Church Farm for a short time before he passes away. He was transferred there on palliative care from hospital. In this short time, my father-in-law was looked after extremely well. He was looked after and cared for beyond our expectations. On his first day there, they had arranged the hairdresser to make a special visit to have him groomed. He looked the best he had looked for a very long time.
I came to visit my mother (I live in Australia). On arriving for my first visit not knowing what to expect, I was greeted by the most amazing staff. They are the most unbelievably helpful, caring, attentive people, I have ever met. They attended to my mother's needs as required. My mum's room was just as I hoped, the food, cleanliness etc was just superb every time I came. You are all angels. Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to write this review Steven; it is very much appreciated when the hard work and dedication of our staff team is recognised. I will make sure that our team are given this feedback.
Church Farm is a friendly, caring and supportive nursing home. Residents are cared for with dignity and encouraged to participate in relevant activities. It is reassuring to know my mum is safe and well cared for as POA all aspects of her care are discussed with me.
This home is starting to improve after a blip but still needing activities.
Thank you for leaving a review, this is an area that we are constantly working on, focusing on individual activities that are meaningful to the people who live with us. We regularly update our website and facebook with news and events if you would like to follow us. Kind regards, Director
The vast majority of the staff are very patient with her, despite her being quite aggressive some of the time.
I have not eaten any meals but the homemade cakes are delicious.
In her previous care home she lost weight, in Church Farm she has put on weight - speaks volumes for the care.
The staff are very friendly and helpful, always smiling. Mum has settled in very well and looks happy.
My husband has dementia and that is why we chose Church Farm Nursing Home. The food is of good quality and cooked on the premises. It always looks nicely presented. The staff are all very friendly and caring and welcome me when I visit my husband.
Church Farm provide just a few planned activities because we focus very much on ensuring that the people who live with us are enabled and supported to participate in a meaningful occupation that is relevant to them, their life history and also includes domestic aspects of life such as washing up,...
From the very first day, we knew she was in the right place.
The staff were welcoming and kind to all of us and the atmosphere was so homely and comfortable.
Mum settled in like a bird in a nest, she obviously felt loved and cared for.
I never saw her looking lost or afraid.
As Mum's condition worsened her care was increased sensitively.
It was a huge comfort to myself and my sisters to see Mum so well looked after from her first day to her last.
My sisters and I felt that our mother could not have been in a better place for her final few months. We always felt welcome and her care was excellent in every respect. Church Farm Nursing Home has a very positive approach to all the residents and I personally found it an uplifting experience on each visit.
