My mum is in the care home and they look after her to our satisfaction, so I can't understand the report in the local news, they must have gone round the home picking every loose hair, dust etc. My family and myself are happy with her wellbeing.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father-in-law was resident at Farnworth care home for nursing care. From the moment he was admitted he was treated with dignity, kindness and care of an extremely high standard. Dad was a very private and proud man, he was kept immaculately clean, well-dressed and was encouraged to eat and drink
in the most wonderful way. We witnessed a bedridden resident encouraged to walk with a Zimmer frame and then unaided which was fantastic to see. His room was furnished to a high standard, we were encouraged to make it his home, we were told “it’s his home now so bring in whatever you think he would like”. The staff were warm and welcoming to our family, nothing was too much trouble and they became his, and our, friends. Thank you for all you did for our dad, I’m sorry it’s been 5 months since I’ve posted this review. We did write and email when he passed away but I felt this “public” review may help other families pondering the difficult decision in choosing where to place their loved ones.

My Mum was looked after for nearly three years by the staff of the Beaumount nursing Unit at Farnworth Care Home, Mum was totally dependent on the staff and could not verbally express herself. She was well cared for with the staff respecting her dignity. Mum was on a very soft diet but her food always
looked appetizing and smelt good. Her skin integrity was maintained. She was always dressed in matching clothes and her cleanliness was maintained. The staff tried to give the residents treats in Mum's case it was homemade chocolate mouse as she was very limited in what she could do or eat. The turnover of staff is very low and the trained nurses had not changed throughout her stay. The nursing staff kept the family well informed about Mum's care.

Truly wonderful. My friend was here for a number of weeks under the amazing palliative care team. What a caring and dedicated team of people they were. She was treated with the utmost respect and dignity in her final weeks. Everyone went above and beyond their roles and were a credit to their profession.
It was obvious that staff loved their jobs and this showed in the care provided. We will never forget this amazing place and cannot thank them enough for their support to the end.

My mum was resident in Farnworth Care Home for three months until she passed away. I cannot praise the care, attention and respect shown to her by all members of staff during her stay. They are exceptional people, doing a job of work which must be difficult and stressful at times, but they carry out
their duties with a smile on their face, kindly words, and great compassion


The home is bright, cheerful, spotlessly clean, well maintained and well run.


During a stressful week for my family, I was ringing the home often to check on mum's condition, and my calls were answered so politely, my questions answered in full, and if there were any changes in mum's condition, I was called immediately by the member of staff taking care of her.


Mum's last three months were spent in a clean and caring environment, and I cannot thank all members of staff enough. Living a long distance from the home, I had peace of mind knowing that mum was well looked after. Thank you all so much.

Unclean corridors staff not helpful.
The patient I went to see at 6.15 had not been shaven on the day totally unacceptable in this day and age.
A strong smell of urine.
Would never put any of my family in this place.

My mum-in-law was resident in Farnworth Care Home for end of life care and from the initial look around the home prior to her admission, and through to her death my husband and I were extremely impressed and grateful for the wonderful care they provided for her in her final days.


Thanks to the professional

and dedicated staff she had a comfortable, dignified and peaceful passing. We would happily recommend them to anyone unfortunate enough to be needing end of life care.


Our deepest thanks.

My mum was resident in Farnworth care home for end of life care. From my initial look round to view the home for my mum prior to her admission, right through till the day she passed away I have been extremely impressed and grateful for the wonderful care they provided for her. I have been a nurse for
almost 40 years and have had the privilege to work with some wonderful caring nurses throughout these years but as a relative on the other side of the fence, I can honestly say everyone of the team caring for my mum were wonderful, kind and patient. I would be proud to call myself a member of their team. I cannot thank them enough. I would be happy to recommend them to anyone unfortunate enough to be requiring palliative/end of life care.
Mum had a dignified peaceful death, thanks to the dedication and professionalism of the whole team. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.785)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.785) 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 44 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 44 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 4.785 for Farnworth Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (412 Excellents x 5) + (83 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 508 Ratings = 4.785
  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 44 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 44 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.
