My cousin moved into this home having moved from a previous residential home where the care was appalling. From the day my cousin moved in his care was excellent the manager Jayms was very professional and caring and the staff especially Fiona and Suree were so kind, caring and compassionate Fiona and another person I think named Joshua were with my cousin when he passed away which I was so grateful for I cannot thank them enough. I felt the job Fiona and Suree do is more than a job to them it was more of a vocation and they are a credit to their profession. Thank all so much .

When I came on the day I was genuinely surprised as to the lengths the staff had gone to, to provide a warm welcoming and beautifully decorated room. Somebody had made a lovely cake and the food and it's presentation was absolutely superb. We were left in privacy and never interrupted and for a lovely intimate celebration you would never have thought that you were in a care setting.
So very grateful for making that day special.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are thrilled that we were able to assist you and your family celebrating such an amazing milestone and very grateful to you for taking the time to provide feedback on your experience. I will of course share your fantastic feedback with the team and thank you again, Jayms!

A very dear friend who I have known for over 50 years developed Vascular Dementia and onset Alzheimer's. I looked after her for a few years while she was able to stay in her flat. Two years ago her condition deteriorated. We both lived in Kent. My friend has a lovely Goddaughter who lives in Bolton and would regularly travel to Kent to visit her. Because of my age and health my friend's Goddaughter and I decided it was time for her to go into residential accommodation. It was more practical that she moved into a residential home in Bolton. Her Goddaughter found Farnworth Care Home. What a blessing.
I find it hard to put into words all the love and care my friend is receiving in Farnworth Care Home. The kindness of everyone, whether it is a telephone call to speak with your loved one or a member of staff to discuss how she is. The management and staff, including the wonderful daily carers are always available. I cannot speak highly enough of Farnworth Care Home.
Thank you so much for your lovely review of Farnworth Care Home. We thoroughly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and I will ensure that your kind words are shared with the whole team. Thank you again, Jayms!

I noticed on Wednesday 24th his right hand swollen and urine dark yellow in catheter bag. I reported this and told his body was holding fluid.
No one came to check the catheter or his hand
On Thursday 25th I had a voicemail begging me to get him back to the hospice and that he'd been left parched overnight with no water.
Our sister went that morning, checked his catheter and reported to the nurse it was blocked but the nurse replied probably just needs flushing out.
The nurse tried to flush the catheter out but the tap was completely blocked with sediment and unable to be opened so she therefore had to replace it.
At 7.30 I was called in because my brother had declined.
We had to beg the nurse looking after him to call a dr.
When asked how long dr would be we were told she had to ring him back in an hour. My reply was he will be dead in an hour and he was.
No compassion

My aunt has recently moved into this care home and already I can see the difference in her mental and physical wellbeing.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are very sorry to read your comments and would again like to offer our sincere condolences to you and your family.
We take concerns about care standards and communication extremely seriously. Following the concerns raised with us, we completed a formal investigation in line with our complaints procedure, which included a review of the relevant care records, risk assessments, care plans, medication records, professional notes and communication records.
Due to confidentiality and data protection requirements, we are unable to discuss the specific details of an individual resident's care in a public forum. However, we remain committed to addressing concerns openly and respectfully through the appropriate complaints process, and we would welcome further direct contact with the Home Manager should the family wish to discuss any outstanding concerns.

Farnworth Care Home has provided a safe, comfortable and caring last home for my mother. Things have not always gone smoothly but all the staff have been supportive, patient and reassuring. Mum's needs have been met in all aspects of her nursing care and well being. The home is clean and tidy. Dirty laundry is removed daily and returned speedily. The standard of food is varied and prepared to a high standard, nothing is omitted. Hot/cold drinks and snacks are provided 24 hours a day. I cannot fault Farnworth Care Home. You all deserve a medal. You are all wonderful. Thank you for caring for my mum.

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.
Thank 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!

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.
What an absolute pleasure to read your sincere and kind review. It truly means the world to us that you have taken the time share your feedback with us and I will be sure to share your feedback with the team. Thank you ever so much, Jayms!

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.

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!
Your 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. I am eternally grateful and will ensure that I share your feedback with the whole team. Thank you again, Jayms!

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...
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.
Please accept my deepest gratitude to you for taking the time to write a review of yours and your wife's experience at Farnworth Care Home. I will take the greatest pleasure sharing your honest and thoughtful comments with the whole team. Thank you, Jayms!

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.

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.

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.

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.
