It's difficult (impossible?) to fault the care given at Farnham Mill. They have made the difficult transition from independence at home to what is, let's face it, an institutional environment bearable. All staff go out of their way to make everyone completely at ease with the decision. They are superb and genuinely care.

I am very happy with the care my mother is receiving. My mother was fiercely independent but had a stroke last year and needs nursing care. She was in another home but hated it and was becoming depressed. Farnham Mill really looks at how to stimulate their residents and has scheduled events especially because that will interest my mother. Her mood and health have improved as a result. I am very happy with the care she received.

The nursing home staff are excellent. There are key staff who care for Mum and Dad who we and they have good relationships with. We know them by name and they know ours.

Our parents have been residents at Farnham Mill for exactly a year and during that time our lives have been completely transformed for the better. Staff respect our parent's desire for privacy and independence but they also understand that gentle encouragement to get involved in individual and group activities can be hugely beneficial and enjoyable. They have their own lovely garden room with a patio and stream close by but are also involved in the gardening and cooking clubs and enjoy music and dancing regularly. Their lives are fuller than was possible in the last few years living independently. As relatives, we have the peace of mind that their physical and mental health, eyesight, weight and teeth are constantly monitored and illnesses are shorter and less stressful for them than before. It is a pleasure to visit our parents now and to take part in community events. Our parents cannot speak highly enough of the wonderful staff at Farnham Mill and everything they do for them.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review for Farnham Mill. It's wonderful to read how positive the impact is on your parents through living with us but also that you, as the family members, have had your lives transformed. We are delighted your parents are happy with all that the home provides for them.
Farnham Mill had organised a weekend BBQ for residents and associated family members and friends. We attended the event are were welcomed by the staff and spent an afternoon being serenaded by a professional singer as well as enjoying drinks and BBQ food. A great social event was had by all.

The care of my mother-in-law is exceptional. The whole family are welcomed and treated with respect. The staff have an excellent rapport with residents. The transition to full-time care was made less painful for my wife during what is naturally a difficult time.

My mum moved from another home (same chain) to Farnham Mill last September due to her changing needs. I really like the light, open, bright and airy feel of the home. Each time I visit all of the staff on every level are very welcoming towards me and are so kind and caring towards Mum and all residents. The home is kept spotless and has beautiful gardens which are very well-tended, for residents to enjoy. There are plenty of activities planned each week also visits from singers, dancers, therapy dogs, pigmy goats and recently chickens and ducks to name a few. I am always notified immediately if there are any changes in Mum's care or condition this gives me much reassurance that Mum is in the best place possible.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a 5 star review for Farnham Mill, the staff will be so pleased to read this. It's great to read such positive feedback on the home and the care as well as the activities that are provided for our residents.
Staff are always extremely helpful and friendly when visiting. It must be easy to get distracted working in a nursing home, but you never feel a burden asking for extra support for the person you're visiting.

Staff are always extremely helpful and friendly when visiting. It must be easy to get distracted working in a nursing home, but you never feel a burden asking for extra support for the person you're visiting. Staff know residents' first names and are constantly visible and providing care. This is an ease to my mind. I have a lot of respect for those providing the care, and they do so with patience and respect.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a 5-star review for Farnham Mill; our staff will be so pleased to read this. It's great to know you are happy with the care your grandmother receives.

Farnham Hill continues to achieve the highest standards. Their care for my mother is individually tailored, skilful, gentle and kind. A recent chest infection was quickly spotted and she was on prophylactic medication on the same day. As dementia progresses there is a risk of loss of dignity. I see continuing attention to my mother's nutrition, comfort and appearance. I attribute this success largely to the continuity of staffing and respect between colleagues at all levels, from cleaners (without whom the best care in the world would struggle) to general managers.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review, we are so pleased to know you have had such a positive experience at Farnham Mill and that you're happy with the care your mother has received.
Very caring and supportive staff towards residents and their visitors. We have been very impressed with the activities for residents and the general well-being and care they receive.

My mother-in-law has been a resident at Farnham Mill for over 4 years. We cared for her ourselves for several years but know we don't have to worry about her because she's better cared for at Farnham Mill, with regular GP visits etc. She's always calm and content, reflecting the atmosphere created...
There's a full, activity timetable that varies weekly, which she (and I) can join in with as much as she wants. She particularly enjoys the musical entertainment, animal visits and family activities like picnics and fireworks.
I can visit whenever I want and always get a warm welcome and friendly chat at reception, which really helps! Thanks so much to all the staff.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a lovely 5 star review, it's brilliant to see all of the wonderful things about Farnham Mill that you have highlighted, the staff will be so pleased to read this.
My husband was at Farnham Mill Nursing Home for over three years, during which time his mental capacity deteriorated seriously. From day one, he received first-class care, not only medically but with every attention given to his personal needs (including his quite large appetite!) Loving...
I have the highest praise for all the staff, from senior to the most junior. As well as their care of my husband, they were unfailingly kind to me; they made me feel like one of the family.
At the time of my husband’s death, he was nursed with loving and understanding care and his sister and I were given unstinting care and kindness.
Thank you very much for taking the time to write a five-star review, our staff will be very pleased to read this. We are so glad you are happy with the care your husband received over the three-plus years he was with us at Farnham Mill.
Reception- Warm welcome, helpful and efficient. I found the care staff cheerful and attentive to residents' needs and their visitors. The room my friend was occupying was clean, bright and welcoming. I will and already have recommended this nursing home to numerous people.

Thank you so much for your kind review of the team at Farnham Mill. They will be really pleased to read it. We felt honoured to have been able to care for your Father during the time he lived with us.
My father lived at Farnham Mill for 7 months having moved from Hill Brow (part of the same group of care homes), during which time he became increasingly frail. All the staff were fabulous; incredibly caring and supportive and always treated Dad with dignity and respect. While he was still able to,...
My sister and I were kept well informed of any issues and were very much a part of any decision-making regarding his welfare. We were always made to feel welcome and the staff really looked after us in Dad's last few days in particular.
I cannot recommend Farnham Mill highly enough!
Thank you very much for leaving a lovely review for Farnham Mill; the staff will be very pleased to see this review. We are so pleased that you and your family are happy with the care your father received throughout his time at Farnham Mill and Hill Brow.
The visit was a two-week respite stay for my mother over the Christmas holidays, shortly after being discharged from hospital. She had an initial reticence because of her love of her own home but quickly settled. She thought all of the staff were amazing, always attentive and pleasant. The food was...
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone with similar needs.
Thank you very much for taking the time to give such a lovely review. It was a pleasure to have your mother stay with us, especially over such a special time of year.

My friend was a resident for 7 months and I visited at least twice a week. The two girls on reception were always polite and welcoming perfect for greeting visitors. The care staff is very easy to chat to and always around if needed. The nursing staff is second to none. There is always something going on for residents and we joined in many of the garden parties, afternoon teas and sing-a-longs.
Thank you so much for your time to do a review for the team at Farnham Mill. We always do our best to welcome friends and family alike and we are very pleased you have enjoyed your visits with your friend in the home.
Always receive a warm welcome when I visit. The staff know who I am and give great updates on how Mum has been through the week. I also get regular updates between visits via email and phone calls. Any changes are discussed and explained. Thanks.

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’.

My role is incredibly rewarding. I am part of a massive life changing decision that is incredibly personal and needs to be made with confidence. I think of myself as a guide for families and individuals during this new chapter of their life.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 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.
