Farnworth Care Home

The care my mum has received from the home during her time there has been outstanding. We as a family know that all her needs are being met and that she is cared for in a safe and loving environment. All the staff we deal with have always been friendly and polite, and have created a fantastic new home for my mum to live in and her family to visit.

Farnworth care home is excellent, the staff from the managent to the cleaners are all first class. My mum who has dementia and is very deaf is thriving. She's 97 in May, at this rate she'll reach 100!

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.

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.

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.

Glad to say despite fears, my wife is very happy there.

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.

My husband, Derek, came here on the NHS discharge to assess. Staff are very caring and helpful. Very happy with the home. They welcomed us in to provide an afternoon tea for our 60th Wedding Anniversary.

Mum moved into Farnworth Care Home after a very unsuccessful stay in hosptial and another care facility. The staff at the home here quickly engaged with mum & the family to fully meet her needs. Management are easy to contact and open to ideas and suggestions to improve care.

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.

I am more than happy with the care my wife receives, all the staff I have met are caring, helpful and cheerful. The care she receives is second to none which keeps her contented and comfortable. All activities are catered for.

The staff are friendly and efficient. They keep you informed if there are any changes or if they have any concerns. There are activities provided for the residents and they keep the residents involved.

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.

My mum has received excellent care in the Belmont Suite. She has a lovely bright room with ensuite. Her needs have been catered for in every respect. Nothing ever seems any trouble when we ask for anything. Lots of activities going on daily which you can join in without any pressure. Mum had a wonderful day out at Fleetwood which she said she enjoyed immensely. Thank you Farnworth Care Home.

Staff are always friendly and very caring my friend is well looked after I know she's in the best hands I would recommend the care home 100% to anyone future families for care of any family members there's always plenty of activities even days out when possible the home always has a warm and friendly environment

Amazing care given to my relative at all times, treated with dignity and respect, nothing too much trouble, as relatives we are made to feel very welcome when visiting, always lots of activities for the residents to join in. I am very grateful to all the staff who go above and beyond with their nursing care. Brilliant!

I was very apprehensive about my husband going into a care home. I really didn't have to worry about anything; the care he receives is second to none. The staff really care for the residents and their families; I feel like the staff are extended family. I would have no hesitation in recommending Farnsworth Care Home.

My mum has been in Farnworth care home for 4 years. I've never had cause for concern; the staff are brilliant, and meals always look good. The manager is also friendly, and if you have concerns, they listen to you.

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.
