Farnworth Care Home

My mother now requires 24/7 nursing care and has several health issues which cannot be met by home care services. Mum is settled and happy in this home. I found the process was made easier by the manager/social worker as never done this before. CQC recommendation is good. The location suits my extended family. At 93 years, mum deserves the best care possible which I feel has been achieved in this home.

I have always found the staff here extremely caring. Although my husband now needs special dementia care I have no hesitation in recommending this as a residential home. Unfortunately due to staff shortages my husband cannot receive the intensive care he now needs. The last two years have been a difficult time for carers and I salute them for doing their very best. They are underpaid and too often overlooked in the shadow of the N.H.S. They deserve more support and the private sector should address these problems in partnership with local govt NHS and social care as a whole. Congratulations Farnworth for all your hard work.

I am the brother of a resident. My sister received great care and compassion from all staff on the palliative care unit. It was a credit to their care so much that to see them upset at my sisters passing was a true meaning of their care and hard work. Not only that they looked after us relatives through the night and anytime we attended my sister. The little reassuring comments and touches relieved our sadness. They are second to none in their endeavour to care. It is a hard job but they do it with living care. Be proud and we give you all a special Clap and Praise for your care. I am thankful you were there for her and us. Bless you all from my heart. Thank you one and all. Keep Safe.

My uncle was admitted to Farnworth Care Home for nursing care. The staff were fantastic with him, he loved the food and the care he received in such a short time was outstanding. No matter what time we turned up to visit him, he was always clean with fresh bedding and clothes, we truly could not have asked for more. They made his last couple of weeks so much easier than expected.

I found everyone helpful, kind and considerate. My husband was very well looked after.

I would like to say that my wife received excellent care at all times. Carried out with dignity and gentleness. All the staff were friendly, approachable and willing to help at any time. I wish to thank them from myself and her two daughters.

My wife has been in a care home twice since having Covid19 in January, and the first care home, I think, didn't care if she lived or died, but since she has been in this care home, she has improved 100%. I am just sorry that she wasn't sent here in the first place. My wife loves the staff, who care for her every need, and I know they listen to me if I have any concerns.

My mother has come on so much since moving from the hospital and having a couple of strokes. The care she received is great, and they keep me updated with how my mum is. The carers make my mum laugh and smile daily, which is great to see.

The day my mum came to Farnworth Care Home, I was nervous because of all the bad stories you hear of nursing homes. Absolutely made up. What a beautiful place from the entrance to her room, nothing but nice people. Could not be happier, perfect.

Great care, supportive and fantastic staff.

Excellent staff who always have time to answer any questions. Bright and clean rooms. My dad is very happy here and that's who it's all about.

My sister is very settled at Farnworth. The staff go above and beyond to make her comfortable. We have just attended a lovely garden party with a signer and buffet. It was a lovely day.

Staff are always friendly and willing to help and the food is always of good standards.

Absolutely beautiful home. Exceptionally clean and staff are very lovely and do an amazing job.

Garden party coming up. I bet the garden is cleaned up by then.

The care home is brilliant. The best one ever. The staff are fantastic and always have a lovely smile.

Previously commented on the staff as they have been brilliant during the Covid pandemic. Without their dedication, my mother wouldn't have survived if living at home. They are always happy to chat about your loved ones and have a smile when greeting you. I could eulogise all day about the staff. Only one negative comment would be regarding the laundry service, laundry service is a nightmare in my humble opinion as clothes not only go astray even with name tags. It's constant having to replace missing items which is a financial burden and most poignantly is upsetting to my mum. Last week's visit my mum didn't a pair of socks to her name. Socks are just one example, had to replace jumpers, cardigans, vests and nightwear.

Farnworth Care Home continues to provide exceptional care for my mum who has now been a resident on Belmont for almost five years. The strength of the Belmont Unit is the leadership and the staff, their consistency and high standards of genuine care mean that residents are known well and are cared for as family members. The challenges afforded by the coronavirus pandemic have led to high levels of anxiety for family members of care home residents, however this has been eased by the regular communication, the solution focussed approach and the knowledge that my mum is being cared for and loved by a team that knows her well. I could not ask for more from any staff member. My mum has a high level of need and poor cognition and communication but the staff on the unit understand and anticipate her wants and needs and equally importantly they make her happy. I feel very lucky that my mum is able to be cared for at Farnworth Care Home.

The care given at Farnworth Care Home to my Mum has been excellent. The lovely staff have looked after her with compassion and dignity. My Mum loves all the staff and is grateful for a chat if they have time. I have been visiting her again after the lockdown and I always take a lateral flow test and wear PPE before I can enter the home this is always done efficiently. This home is always nice and clean and always smells nice.

A wonderful, caring team who go above and beyond to give the kind of support you would want for your loved ones. They have been amazing with my wife and all of the family appreciates everything they do for her. So glad she came here nearly 5 years ago. We wouldn't want her to go anywhere else!
