Over all time Farnham Mill Nursing Home has 205 reviews.
Our friend was a resident at Farnham Mill Nursing Home for nine months. The care she received was excellent throughout this time, including during her last illness. Every comfort was provided as were plenty of stimulating activities. Visitors were always made to feel welcome too, including children and dogs!
Thank you for your kind review. We feel it is an honour to care for all of our residents and we are constantly looking to provide a homely environment with outstanding care.
In general terms, kindness personified would describe the atmosphere at the Mill. The buildings are new as is the décor and everything is fresh and inviting but behind it all is a super efficient team of people running a home for old people like my wife and me, who are given the help required to wash, dress, go to bed, get up etc. Medication is dispursed if required and all the needs of us elderly folk have been carefully studied and are taken care of.
Thank you very much for your kind review. We have enjoyed taking care of your wife.
I find most of your staff very helpful and attentive, and nothing is too much trouble. I love the way all staff speak to your residents on the way through even if just in passing, even if it's just a hello, it means so much to your residents. However, when Mum moved into the room there was no paperwork or contract. No information was given to me how much the room was, and, in the end, I had to chase it up as by then I was well over a month overdue in paying. I later found out that there was a smaller room that Mum could have had but this was not offered. I have found things have gone missing from my Mum's room, especially a black and white cat smaller than the one she has on her bed. But unfortunately, could not get anyone to take responsibility for it to be found and still would like this looked into - it has to be there somewhere! It took a long time to find out who my mum's key worker is and nurse. I only found this out in April.
Thank you for your comments. Everyone at Farnham Mill enjoys caring for your mother. We are still looking for the her black and white cuddly joy cat.
If I could give Farnham Mill a 10-star rating I would. Wonderful staff, wonderful care. I am so glad that my mother's stay and final care was with you.
Thank you for your kind words, it means a lot to all of our staff. It was a pleasure to care for your Mum.
All the staff are happy and friendly, they are well led and supported by the leadership team resulting in excellent care across the whole spectrum.
My mother feels valued and cared for and since being at Farnham Mill she has become the person she used to be.
Farnham Mill provides excellent care physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
I cannot praise it enough.
Thank you for your kind review. We are honoured to care for your mum and we are very pleased she is happy.
I can't fault this place at all and my mother is happy!
Thank you for your lovely review. We are very pleased to be caring for your Mother and we are thrilled that both you and she are happy.
An extremely modern, privately owned and very well run Nursing Home just outside Farnham Town Centre. Following my wife's stroke in 2016, this was my first time as a Respite User of any facility. The two weeks I was here, with my wife, were just what we both needed! The staff were clearly well motivated for whom nothing was too much trouble. The warmth both from staff and the building, during the heavy snowfall, was first class. A well run home with good supervision from all concerned. There was good interaction from staff and Residents alike. The activities were well thought out; the 'Pat' dog and likewise friendly baby goats were a delight, as were the visits by young children.
Your feedback and kind comments are very much appreciated. Thank you.
Excellent care and accommodation. Staff provide holistic person-centered care. Activities tailored to residents individual needs. Staff always keep the family informed straight away of any problems/issues. A very caring and compassionate nursing home to ensure the best quality of life for the residents.
This is my first experience of a nursing home so I do not have any prior experience. This home is very pleasant, very clean and neat and tidy. The staff are very friendly, helpful and professional. It has a happy atmosphere. My mother was very nervous moving into a nursing home but Farnham Mill has provided a caring home for her to continue with her life. Thank you to everyone.
All the staff are wonderful as are the surroundings.
Following a relative's horrible accident, the need for respite was quite important. My relative has been made very welcome and is improving all the time. My relative has dietary issues so they were able to have a chat with the cook. All staff have been very helpful and welcoming.
The care and kindness to my mother during her stay at Farnham Mill Nursing Home was exemplary. The staff are excellent and cannot do enough to make residents welcome, special and safe. The rooms are beautiful and spacious and light and airy with nice furniture and accessories. The public areas are bright and airy too with attractive pictures. I would not hesitate to recommend Farnham Mill to anyone needing nursing care.
This was my father's first experience of respite care and at 98 years of age, I did not take the decision lightly. Farnham Mill has recently opened and is of the highest standard. He was happy and well cared for, enjoyed the food and activities and found all the staff caring, pleasant and professional. His room was well appointed and the communal areas comfortable and we3lcoming. The atmosphere always seemed happy and inclusive. He is willing to stay again for respite and hopes to go there for regular daycare once available. This is a good indication of how well Farnham Mill is working.
My father stayed at Farnham Mill for 4 weeks of respite care. The staff took the time to get to know Dad as well as all the other visiting family members. We were always provided with a warm welcome whenever we visited. The team ensured that all Dad's needs were met and he was well cared for during his stay. They were polite, friendly, caring and very helpful. The home is modern and open plan, allowing socialising between the residents to take place alongside a varied activity programme. The gardens were a particular favourite.
Our mum moved into Farnham Mill in August 2018 and from her first day, we have been nothing but impressed and thankful for the wonderful work from everyone at the home. It is such a warm, friendly and welcoming place and we are always greeted with a smile from everyone who works and lives here. The care that is given to our mum has exceeded our expectations and our mum is always laughing with staff when we come here. We are so grateful to Farnham Mill for making a difficult time so much easier. Thank you.
During this time, I received excellent all round attention for my needs. Staff were attentive and well trained showing respect and care in a very happy environment. The home being new, is bright and welcoming and is also furnished to a high standard. Having stayed here, I would willingly return if the necessity arose. Recommended.
Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and they were very welcoming to visitors. Lovely gardens and the home has a lovely atmosphere.
During my father's time spent at Farnham Mill, he was surrounded by such kindness, care and consideration. Nothing was too much for the staff, even the chef who happily, and without prompting, prepared food which she thought my father would enjoy to tempt his poor appetite. The staff were thoughtful and proactive. We felt as though we had all been welcomed into a new family. As a bonus, all the rooms were beautiful and well thought out.
My grandmother recently moved into Farnham Mill for some respite and recuperation following a prolonged level of general weakness and inability to look after herself satisfactorily. Since her residence here she has greatly benefited from the most caring and helpful staff that have given her a wonderful boost of positivity and helped her regain her confidence and independence, a truly wonderful facility that has changed her world and given my family at large a much less worrying time. I cannot recommend Farnham Mill and all of its very well trained and qualified staff enough. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind and sincere review, it's very much appreciated.
We will definitely use Farnham Mill again due to the wonderful time he had here. Highly recommended!

Meet the Team (14)
I am Alison Lee the Proprietor of Woodlands & Hill Brow Ltd. I am a nurse with a degree in Nursing and a Diploma in Elderly Care. I left the NHS where I was Ward Manager of an elderly care unit at the Royal Free Hospital when I assumed control of Woodlands & Hill Brow Ltd following my mother's retirement in 1998.
I am immensely proud of the standards of care we achieve and the family ethos and feel which runs through the heart of our homes.
Hello, my name is Laura Cooper, I have worked for the Lee family for over 8 years and I am extremely proud to be the General Manager for Woodlands and Hill Brow’s four homes. With over 20 years of previous Leadership and HR experience behind me, I work with the homes daily to promote and ensure that the happiness of our residents and all our permanent staff members remains at the heart of all we do.
Hello, my name is Sahlee, I have worked for Woodlands and Hill Brow since 2011 as a home manager and as a Kings Nurse Specialist. My real passion in life is nursing and caring for the elderly. I specialise in palliative care and tissue viability. It is so important to me that the residents we care for are comfortable and happy and that every day we can help to improve their quality of life.
‘Working as the deputy manager in Farnham Mill NH has enabled me to utilise a wealth of transferable skills developed during my 42yrs nursing experience. I am a strong believer that here’s no real substitute for the intensely rewarding and fulfilling nature of looking after older people. I am very passionate about ensuring residents are provided with attentive and respectful care, at the same time ensuring that they retain their dignity and independence during the latter stages of life.
I love being able to take time to talk, listen and understand what matters to the resident, as It is important that residents can express choices and feel involved in the way their care is planned and delivered. My love of looking after older people enables me to utilise my skills to provide consistent, individualised care and support to residents in a care environment, knowing it makes a difference in the lives of the residents’.
I help support with any questions and concerns but what I love most is every day I get to meet new people, hear their life stories and build great relationships with them and their families. Once they have moved in it is a joy to watch our residents thrive and enjoy life, loved ones too.
I have over 25 years of experience in Hospitality, mostly as a chef. Prior to joining Woodlands and Hill brow, I spent 5 years working in a luxury care home in Andover, overseeing the kitchens, housekeeping, activities and maintenance departments. I really enjoy seeing happy residents enjoying their food and having fulfilled lives.
My goal is that my contribution through experience, passion and determination gives everyone living at Farnham Mill the best possible quality of life.
I have worked in the health and social care sector for the last 13 years. Every role has been in and around training and development. Being able to develop our staff to deliver even greater care and service to our residents is something I take great pride in. Woodlands & Hill Brow is a family-run business, and this is one of the main reasons I wanted to move here, away from more corporate roles.
Preparing, cooking and presenting good, tasty, wholesome food has always been my passion. I have cooked since I was very young. What I enjoy most about working in Care and cooking for the older generation is the interaction with the residents and the creation of personalised foods they will enjoy the most. While always being aware of hydration, taste, nutrition and the resident's personal enjoyment of the food.
I have been working at Farnham Mill as a front-of-house receptionist.
I worked for a well-known high street bank but changed my career which was inspired by my mum’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis and the impact it had and still has on my family’s lives. I am passionate about and love my role at Farnham Mill. To see families being able to spend time together is my real inspiration and to be able to spend time with our residents is a real privilege on a day-to-day basis.
I joined Farnham Mill in July 2018 and feel proud of my role as activities coordinator.
My passion is making our residents happy and I believe this is part and parcel of good care.
My job as activities coordinator allows me lots of opportunities to do this, through organising lots of different activities and trips that our residents enjoy. These include arts and crafts, quiz's, trips out to the pub, shopping and to garden centres. Plus lots of musical performances.
I am the Senior Nurse and Clinical Lead at Hill House. I joined Woodlands and Hill Brow Ltd in 2019, after working in a number of other nursing homes previously. 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.
I have worked with the Woodlands and Hill Brow group for more than 5 years, working my way up to Senior Nurse. I work with a great team of management, carers and domestic staff. I am particularly passionate about caring for residents with dementia. I enjoy working together to ensure our lovely residents are happy and cared for in every way possible.
I have worked for Woodlands and Hill Brow since 2018, first at Hill House as a carer and when Farnham Mill was built, I transferred over. I love working in such a beautiful purpose built, nursing home. The home allows us to provide the best possible care for our lovely residents. I also enjoy working with such a dedicated team of carers, nurses and management who all put the residents happiness and care first.
My name is Doug, I am the facilities manager for the Woodlands and Hill Brow Group. I am a qualified electrician and have been in the building industry for nearly 40 years. I was introduced to the team at Woodlands and Hill Brow Ltd when I was involved in the building of Hill House nursing home and then when I designed the electrical systems at Farnham Mill. I take pride in my maintenance team and in providing a safe, well maintained, attractive place for the residents and staff alike to live and work.
