Overall Experience

My dad has been a resident on Firwood at Farnworth Care Home since January 2025. During this time, the care that he has received has been exemplary from all of the staff. My dad says how lovely and caring they all are; each member of staff that deals with him has formed a relationship with him, and

that makes him feel valued. We are also really impressed with all of the activities that are available to residents every day. We also can't speak highly enough of James, the manager who too is very amenable.

Reply from Jayms Bell, Home Manager at Farnworth Care HomeThank you so very kindly for your beautiful review of the care your Dad receives at Farnworth Care Home. We are so grateful to you for taking the time to share your feedback and I will ensure that this is passed to the Firwood Team in recognition of the exemplary care that they provide. Thank you again, Jayms!

Overall Experience

Farnworth Care home and its staff are absolutely fabulous!!! The staff are extremely professional, kind, caring, and often go above and beyond.
The home itself is very modern, bright, clean, tidy and safe; it has a lovely warm, welcoming atmosphere and feels very homely, and the staff make it a fun

and lively place to be, but equally if you want peace and tranquility this is also accommodated for.
The dining room is also lovely, it's like a restaurant. It's very clean and the staff are very organised, and are very attentive to the residents and their needs. The food is good quality too with wonderful menus.
There is also plenty to do with lots of events taking place, and not just at Christmas and Easter, which often include residents' family members too. Recently they even did a Chinese New year celebration and meal which was lots of fun. There are plenty of games and activities, entertainers and singers that come in, and trips and days out. My mum loves it. So yes, very pleased.

Overall Experience

Both my Mum & Dad had to get care at the same time and we was very lucky that Farnworth care home could take both in at the same time, Mum was very sick and passed away a couple of months after, the care she got and dignity she got from all the staff was amazing and they truly helped in a very difficult

time, Dad is still in Farnworth care home and the staff really looked after him after Mums passing, he couldnt be in better place. All the family and Dad are very happy with all the attention and care he gets from the staff and he is very settled and content. A big thank you from us all to all at Farnworth care home.

Review from Anne C (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 April 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Dad had an extremely difficult year in 2025, due to declining health including several infections alongside delirium. After a few weeks in hospital he was sent to a rehabilitation unit, which was a very distressing time, due to sporadic care and dad's increasing needs. Once we accepted the advice that

he wouldn't be able to safely return home, we began the hunt for a suitable nursing home. We were quite shocked at some of the environments we came across, however when we found Farnworth Care Home we were warmly welcomed and it immediately felt like a homely and loving environment. It was a huge relief when dad finally became settled and comfortable; it wasn't easy upon his arrival but staff worked hard to manage his pain levels and provided the level of care that he had been much in need of. It was such a relief to see him in a clean, comfortable environment and in the last few months of his life he was treated with much dignity and care which was a huge comfort to us as family. Thanks!

Reply from Jayms Bell, Home Manager at Farnworth Care HomeYour kindest words of affirmation ring true of Abbey Healthcare's ethos that Our Residents are at the centre of everything we do. I cannot thank you enough for taking your valuable time to share your comments about yours and your Dad's experience of Farnworth Care Home.

Overall Experience

My wife was admitted from hospital in May 2025. According to my observations she has been treated well and with kindness and dignity. Her condition has progressed as predicted and I can understand presents a challenge to the caring staff who carry out their caring duties well, efficiently and with the

good humour and compassion which we all greatly appreciate.
Unfortunately much to our regret her condition rules out a lot of the activities which are organised although I can see that the majority of those who do take part really enjoy and appreciate them.
Although prevented from naming individuals by the Review Rules it is apparent that the nursing and caring staff are dedicated to their role in looking after all their patients and from me and the rest of our family it is a very grateful thank you and we consider ourselves fortunate to have selected Farnworth Care home.

Overall Experience

Our dear Mum is a resident in Farnworth Care Home. The staff are wonderful, nothing is too much for them. Jayms manages the Home with genuine warmth. Visitors are welcomed and feel the kindness of the Team. Our loved ones remain the centre of all services, their needs are met, their comfort and medical

needs remain a priority.
Staff are highly professional, cheery and upbeat, they create interesting activities evolving everyone as best they can. Our Mum's journey with Dementia means that she can no longer participate much. Her medical care and needs are met with patience,, kindness and care. We feel so grateful that we managed to secure her a place here.
As family passes through the home..genuine love and care are in abundance. Our loved ones are treated with compassion and peace. I highly recommend this provision. Thank you all from the bottom of our heart.

Reply from Jayms Bell, Home Manager at Farnworth Care HomeI cannot thank you enough for the kindness and support you have shown in your review of Farnworth Care Home.

The home and staff continue to enable the residents to feel at home and be well looked after. During the Christmas period, there were well-planned activities for both residents and their families. All having a really good time. Dad always loved the food and enjoyed Christmas dinner along with the atmosphere.

Really happy with the home and great staff.

Overall Experience

I think the home is superior to most, although I don't have personal experience.
It is a custom, modern building. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Always clean. The staff make efforts to include the residents in seasonal events: Christmas, Easter, Valentines etc. I wasn't happy that I was made

to pay £20 car parking charge, for once forgetting to sign in to the car park screen, despite registering an appeal.

Reply from Jayms Bell, Home Manager at Farnworth Care HomeI truly appreciate you taking the time to write a review of your experience of Farnworth Care Home. Your comments assist us in monitoring and improving the service to ensure that our Residents are at the centre of everything we do. I apologise for any upset or distress that the car parking fine you received has caused you. We always try our hardest to remind people to enter their details when visiting a loved one however we don't always get it right. Following the comments you have made I will reiterate to all of the team welcoming visitors into the Home to ensure they are reminded to enter their car registration details onto the system. I do hope that this goes some way into reassuring you that your comments have been taken on board and I thank you sincerely once again for your review.

Overall Experience

My mother in law went in firstly for respite. I agree at first it was hard for her when we went to visit She would get upset when we left & was very hard for the staff to try & console her. Over the month or so she has settled a lot better & now given the opportunity to stay on permanent.basis. I'm

very impressed how they have daytime activities for all the residents & celebrate birthday's & other celebratory occasions. We are pleased to say she has gained weight as well. The staff who organise the games & activities are brilliant, my MIL has taken shine to them to which we are so grateful. She has made friend's and doing really well. So thank you to all at Farnworth care home.

Review from Jon H (Son of Resident) published on 8 April 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My mother has been resident at the home since mid 2025. The care home is clean, tidy, well decorated and on my mothers ward/floor is well run by staff such as Meena, (who is fabulous) and her colleagues. All the staff are approachable, kind and understanding.

There was an outbreak of scabies not

too long ago and I felt the communication from the home should have been dealt with more effectively as both my mother and my father (who visits almost daily) contracted it, but when I questioned the management, they hid behind the 'we are following Health England's advice'. Sometimes (as we have seen in the recent past) Health England haven't been the bastion of truth!

Maybe lessons have been learned, time will tell that aside, my mother seems happy, the staff are vigilant/caring and aside from the above the ward/floor she is on and the wider home in general, is well run.

Reply from Jayms Bell, Home Manager at Farnworth Care HomeI would like to thank you for taking the time to share your experience of Farnworth Care Home so that we can continually evaluate and improve our service offering. I fully appreciate and take on board that you felt that we could have improved our communication following an outbreak of scabies within the Home. We work extremely closely with our local Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) team so that we have the latest information and treatment plans available. Moving forwards I will ensure that all of the guidance that we are provided with by IPC is shared with all visitors to the Home to assist in improving our communication. I will also share your lovely feedback with the team caring for your mother. Thank you again, Jayms.

I don't manage to visit that often because of my own circumstances but when I do, I am so impressed with every aspect of Farnworth Care Home. There is always a warm welcome and I can always get updates from staff about my friend's care and the things he has been doing. The last time I visited it was

his birthday and there were birthday banners outside his room. The staff say he is so lovable and make him feel valued and treat him with dignity and respect. I can't fault Farnworth Care Home and I am happy knowing he is well looked after. Thank you to each and everyone of you.

My Mum has been at Farnworth Care Home 12 mths now. It was a heart breaking decision and sometimes quite overwhelming. My Mum was struggling in so many ways and has found it difficult to adjust; however, the decision had to be made to keep her safe.

This wonderful gem of a place turned everything

around. The staff, are Angels in disguise, from Management to housekeeper. They are wonderful individuals who care and they have given my Mum a better and safe quality of life, i couldn't ask for anymore. Knowing my Mum is in safe hands is all I can ask for.
Mum looks better than she has done for years and my thanks goes to every member of staff.

My mother has been in Farnworth Care Home for 4 years. She is happy and always smiling which is all I want. All this is down to the way she is treated within the home. Staff are great on the Firwood unit (and everywhere else for that matter). They are engaging, patient and professional but also laid

back in their approach providing lots of light hearted laughs and jokes which strikes a lovely balance and creates a really nice atmosphere. Thank you for preserving that smile and happiness that I associate with my mum despite the gradual and irreversible decline in her health.

My wife unfortunately got to the point where Care Home Care became essential.
Naturally she was terrifies at the thought, all the implications, and leaving me on my own at home.
The move to Farnworth Care Home has worked out far better than we could have imagined.
The rooms and facilities have compared

very favourable with other care homes we visited.
And the staff are so friendly and helpful.
Glad to say despite fears, my wife is very happy there.
