From the moment you enter the home there is a feeling of warmth and friendliness from all the staff. The level of care and attention for my mother is second to none and they are always attentive and looking for ways to engage her and made her life as fulfilling as possible. The number of activities
available and the welcoming to family members makes the home unique.

Living a considerable distance from Farnham Mill means that my visits to my mother are not as frequent as I would wish. However, when I do visit, everyone makes me feel incredibly welcome and the team ensure I am able to make the most of the precious time I can spend there. Mum's mobility is now reduced
but the staff make sure that she is part of what goes on at Farnham Mill and spend time engaging with her - I never fail to be amazed at their kindness, care, patience and empathy. Mum recently celebrated her 91st birthday and if I'm honest I think what keeps her going, as well as the excellent care, is the wonderful food, well, mainly the puddings and cakes and lots of tea!! I will be visiting again later this month and I am really looking forward to seeing mum but also the team and the other residents. It is like a big family, and I am glad Mum has that each and every day.

The care, attention and kindness offered to my aunt (and to my husband and myself), following an unexpected incident, could not be faulted. The staff were thorough, professional, diligent and attentive at all times. They ensured that we were kept updated and were willing to answer our questions. Whilst
individual members stand out, I shall always be grateful for the support and understanding of the team as a whole. Thank you.

I would like to thank the Manager and her team for their outstanding support to my parents during their recent two-week stay at Farnham Mill. It's a beautiful and calm environment, and nothing was too much trouble. Everyone went above and beyond, and my parents have returned home all the better for
their stay.
Visiting Farnham Mill was an absolute pleasure. We were made to feel very welcome, and all the team made time to chat, advise and support, which was very much appreciated.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My aunt has been a resident at Farnham Mill since September 2018 and is now aged 99 (and a half!). She is extremely frail and suffers from mixed dementia, with her mood varying from day to day. The care staff at Farnham Mill relate well to her and take the time to talk to her on a 1:1 basis when her
mood is good. She is treated with respect and kindness. She does not participate in the activities other than the visits from animals and seems to enjoy listening to piano playing when in a good mood. By her own admission she is a fussy eater but the home caters for her limited tastes. The home is always spotless, we are greeted very well each time we visit and are offered hot drinks. The fees are at the upper end hence the slightly lower marking for value for money. But all in all we are extremely pleased with the way my aunt is cared for at Farnham Mill.

Reply from Hannah Webb, HR & Finance Advisor at Farnham Mill Nursing Home

It has been an honour to care for your aunt; she is a part of our Farnham Mill family. We are all looking forward to celebrating her impressive milestone birthday with you soon! Many thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Your support means so much to all of the team.

My husband was admitted to Farnham Mill in October 2024 in a bad way. The nursing staff have taken excellent care of him physically and mentally. Everyone has been so kind to him and always has a smile. The food was varied and very nice. Activities and entertainment are amazing with outside trips, crafts
and female singers, tap dancing and a dog show, baby farm animals and event celebrations.

Our Mum spent her last few weeks at Farnham Mill Nursing Home. The decision to move to a Nursing Home was a hard one, which I'm so glad we made.
Mum was cared for with nothing but kindness and respect by experienced staff. As relatives, we also benefitted from this kindness, and on visits we were made
to feel welcomed and valued by all the staff. As we live at some distance, we really appreciated the regular updates by email to tell us how Mum was doing, informing further plans of action. The staff made time for us, and made time for Mum, patiently assisting her with aspects of her care that were challenging.
Mums life before her move was limited to being nearly totally housebound in a small flat. When she moved, she was able to choose several different areas to sit within this spacious home and people watch, including a beautiful balcony overlooking a stream. Even if too poorly to join in most of the activities, activities staff would sit with her and chat. Thank you Farnham Mill.

"A taste of Haven" is the way we would describe the love and care mum and all our family have experienced through the time walking with mum in her end-of-life experience. Nothing was too much trouble. Mum was so well looked after, each day we saw her, she was so clean and tidy and well-groomed. The
staff there felt like family to us, nothing was left out in caring not only for mum but for us as well. Truly amazing staff. The lady on Reception particularly stood out for us, again, nothing was overlooked in her approach and the sensitive way she dealt with us on arrival. 12/10, we would score her. A brilliant ambassador for your company.

My friend was a resident at Farnham Mill for 2 1/2 years. She arrived very poorly, sad and lonely. Staff nursed her back to health both physically and mentally . She regained her confidence and creativity and was able to participate in all the things she loved doing and was so good at - flower arranging,
cooking, crafts, music, helping others and feeling useful - all at a level that was appropriate for her strength and ability at that time.
She was treated with love and respect and when she was in pain or anxious she was comforted and reassured. All her medical needs were taken care of. There were in house GP visits, physio, dentist and chiropodists.
My friend chose to stay at Farnham Mill during her last illness because it was home to her. It felt like home to me too and I was able to be with her whenever I wanted, day or night , with the added reassurance of professional care and support at hand whenever I needed it. I will always be grateful.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.875)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.875) out of 10 for Farnham Mill Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 89 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 89 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.875 for Farnham Mill Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (934 Excellents x 5) + (110 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 1055 Ratings = 4.875

  • b) 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 Farnham Mill Nursing Home is based on 89 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 65 registered maximum number of service users is 13, which has been reached with 89 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

I was drawn to Farnham Mill because I had heard about how the company offer outstanding care to their residents and takes care of its staff.


On a personal level, I have always been passionate about caring for the elderly, especially those with dementia. It is my belief our residents should receive excellent nursing care and I am proud to be part of the outstanding team at Farnham Mill.
