Farnworth is a gem of a find.
The atmosphere when you walk in is one of caring and love, which provides a very relaxing and homely feel. There is a high number of staff all dedicated to their work, and the home is run very efficiently. They treat each person as an individual, and treat them with care
and respect. You can relax in the knowledge that your family member is in a safe place, and cared for to the highest standard.

I have settled in very well. Although the staff appear to listen to what you're saying, I find their relaying of messages is rather poor. I find the environment very noisy during the day. I have commented on the noise, but nothing changed. The food is very unappetizing and repetitive. Most of the staff
are very caring.

Our Mum has been a resident since June 23, when she had to move from a previous home as it was closing. We were very worried that she would settle in.
All of our family are so happy and delighted with Farnworth Care Home. The skilled Staff are kind, caring for our precious Mum like one of their
own family, preserving her dignity, always considering her needs and ensuring that she is safe and comfortable.
The manager manages his Team with a genuine, warmth ensuring the best outcomes for our Mum. The Home is a place of welcome, love and care for our loved one and ourselves. Our Mum has numerous health issues, which have been cared for with professionalism and true kindness. In a fast world where service is sometimes secondary; the team delivers amazing care, everyday. We are truely Thankful to them for taking such wonderful care of our lovely Mum. We are so lucky to have secured a place. Highly recommended. Skilled, professional team. Thanks again.

My mum went in for a couple of weeks to be looked after while I was away on holiday, she stayed on the 2nd floor- Firwood unit.


From enquiring/ booking/ visiting the care home everything was explained fully and reassurance was given as we were very anxious about leaving mum in any care home.


My

mum absolutely loved her time here, all the staff were great and my mum was well cared for, she said the food choices were great too!


Would definitely recommend this care home for anyone looking and my mum is looking forward to her next holiday here.


Thank you to all the staff at farnworth care home.

All the staff looking after my Mum were extremely caring and patient with her. They kept me up to date with any health issues she had. Mum found it hard at first to settle in but soon was laughing with the staff who made her welcome. They were there for her in her last hours when sadly I could not be
there due to my own health issues and living in Wales. I cannot praise them enough for all their care and dedication to her.

Since my brother was admin to the Nursing home in November for respite care, and now a permanent resident.

It was my friend's birthday and birthday banners had been put up in his room and on the corridor. There was a pleasant, calm and welcoming atmosphere and my friend was relaxed

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.783)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.783) out of 10 for Farnworth Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 46 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 45 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.783 for Farnworth Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (442 Excellents x 5) + (69 Goods x 4) + (22 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 534 Ratings = 4.783
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Farnworth Care Home is based on 45 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 120 registered maximum number of service users is 24, which has been reached with 45 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2022

After qualifying as a Mental Health Nurse in 2007, I have gained over 15 years of experience working in the private care sector, predominantly with older adults. This area is especially important to me as I have experienced first-hand the negative side of caring for a loved one. I vowed to my profession that I would try my very hardest to ensure that nobody within my care would experience what I experienced. This is the ethos that I use each and every day.
