My father was a resident at Farnham Mill Nursing Home for 21 months and he received the best of care. He loved his bright, spacious room and the communal areas. He really enjoyed the gorgeous gardens and waterway, taking great delight in watching the bird life. The staff across all areas are exceptional,
treating him with great care and kindness. The level of care adjusted seamlessly as his needs increased on his Dementia journey. We were hugely grateful he got to spend his final days in such a warm, caring environment, surrounded by people who became like family, caring for not only my father but the extended family as we struggled with this difficult disease. We cannot praise Farnham Mill and all the staff more highly, thank you all so much.

We can't think of entrusting the care of our mother/mother-in-law to anyone better. The care home is always clean and inviting and the nursing care is excellent. We are always made to feel very welcome when we visit, and are greeted by name. Our mother seems to be very content and comfortable and cared
for in every way. We couldn't ask for more.

My mum moved into the Farnham Mill Nursing Home in July after a rapid deterioration in her health.
After looking at several care homes, we decided upon the Farnham Mill, as we felt that this was where she would receive the best care and we have not been disappointed.
The staff have all been so kind,
caring and welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble. They have gone above and beyond to make us feel at home and help support us through this difficult time. My mum is treated with dignity, respect and above all kindness.
No one ever really wants to find themselves in a position where they have to move a loved one into a care home but it gives me peace of mind to know how well cared for she is.
I would unreservedly recommend the Farnham Mill to anyone looking for a care home for their loved one.
It’s given me my faith back that there are some lovely care homes out there. A huge thank you to the entire staff at the Farnham Mill who make this the wonderful place it is!

My father was a resident at Farnham Mill Nursing Home care home from January to August 2023.


We chose Farnham Mill because it felt right for my father and for us as a family knowing that he would be receiving the best care in a lovely setting.


From the moment we arrived special care measures for

his Parkinson’s condition were put in place. We always felt he was cared for with great dignity and respect and the care team made every effort to get to know him and what made him feel at home.


The team were a great support to our family and made us feel welcome at all times. Dad loved the food and care teams and we felt comfortable knowing he was cared for both physically and emotionally.


We were given time and space to be with Dad when he passed away in August but knew they were there to catch us and support us at the end of his life.


The staff go out of their way to look after our precious family members when we are no longer able to care for them ourselves. We are truly grateful to everyone.

The staff are caring and committed to ensuring that the residents are happy and settled. The events they put on to entertain are fabulous as they range from flower arranging to live singers to dress-up BBQs. Something for everyone. The bedrooms are well-kept and always clean. I am so pleased that my
dad is here. From the moment you walk through the door to when you sign out my visit is greeted with warmth and understanding. I get regular check-ins with the nursing staff about my father. Regular communication from the staffing team and a weekly photo update on what has been going on. Just super.

Mum had Alzheimer’s and lived at Farnham Mill for just over 2 years. She settled in quickly thanks to the genuine care of all the staff. The variety of activities was impressive, and Mum particularly loved it when animals were brought in to visit. We were sent weekly emails with photos of what she got
involved in, and she always said, completely unprompted, that she liked living there and that the staff were lovely. The home is bright and airy and was purpose-built, with a lovely garden that includes a duck pond which Mum loved to watch. Towards the end of her life, they ensured she was out of hospital and back at the home where she was well cared for, and the staff were so kind to her and to us. We were given a scrapbook filled with photos of Mum during her stay, a lovely memento, and three members of staff came to her funeral. I can’t thank the staff enough for the genuine love and care they gave Mum, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Farnham Mill Nursing Home to others.

Reply from Lauren Stoneman, PA/Administrator at Farnham Mill Nursing Home

Thank you for doing the review for Farnham Mill. It is always nice and good for staff morale to receive such positive reviews as it does make them feel appreciated. We also pay a bonus for the number and score.


Everyone at Farnham Mill misses your mum. She was a lovely lady, we were very lucky she came to live at Farnham Mill. We still have a couple of residents who enjoy the chickpea dishes she encouraged them to try.

Our first impression of the care home was very good. Staff were friendly and extremely helpful. When Mum was admitted staff ‘bent over backwards’ to help her settle and were very patient and considerate to us at what was a difficult time.
Mum’s needs have always been put first and all staff have been
extremely friendly and helpful to us.

Mum had been a resident at Farnham Mill for a few years. She was very happy there, and the care she received was second to none. All of the staff were friendly, helpful and so very caring. The room was lovely, and Mum really enjoyed the food. The activities team were amazing and provided activities
every day that were relevant and provided much-needed stimulation.
The deputy manager visited Mum in the hospital and managed to get her discharged back to the home where she was cared for so well until she passed away. This was so much appreciated, as, without that intervention, Mum would probably have passed away in the hospital.
Altogether, this home is amazing, and I would definitely recommend it for your loved ones.

Dad was a resident at Farnham Mill Nursing Home. He was lucky enough to call it his home for 15 months. The nursing staff consistently kept me up to date with issues and concerns and through regular high-quality care could foresee medical issues and deal with them. The food was excellent with the serving
team knowing each resident's requirements. The team recognised my dad needed serving in the first phase so he could sit and eat with everyone without distraction, and leaving the table.


The food was varied and of excellent quality with frequent drinks and treats between meals. The entertainment team engaged well with residents and every day there were activities to join in and the infamous trolley themes. The surrounding area of the care home ensured a beautiful walkway and covered area to rest and watch the ducks and geese. The end-to-end care of my dad was excellent including the more routine requirements of laundry, cleaning and interaction between residents and Staff.

Mum was a resident at Farnham Mill Nursing Home for eighteen months. The home has a warm and friendly atmosphere. The modern rooms are bright and airy and there are lovely gardens and a duckpond which mum enjoyed. The lovely reception team are very welcoming and always very helpful. The nursing team
and carers were brilliant and always tried to make sure mum was comfortable and she was well looked after. We found them helpful in dealing with any questions we had and were kept well informed. The activities team put much thought into the activities with lots going on. Mum enjoyed visiting the weekly hairdresser. We found the chef and catering team always tried to accommodate her needs. Her room and clothes were kept clean and tidy. Mum was always treated with care and kindness and we were well supported too. Mum recently passed away and we can't thank all the lovely staff enough for all they did for mum and for us, as a family, it is very much appreciated.

Farnham Mill Nursing Home is a modern, bright and friendly place. The care and attention my mum received was always very good, from all the teams. From the friendly reception staff to the fun activities team and the caring nurses, it’s a great combination. The building is unlike many care/nursing homes
with a very modern and clean feel along with a welcoming garden and pond. The catering team do a great job with a varied menu and frequent barbecues too.

My father has been living at Farnham Mill Nursing Home for just over two years. He is 98 years old and although not in poor health as such, he is now too frail to look after himself, although he manages his personal care himself. Now that he lives at Farnham Mill he is safe, warm, well-fed and cared
for. The staff have a delightful way of caring for residents; they are respectful but affectionate at the same time. They converse with my father warmly and patiently and with humour and gentleness.
Farnham Mill Nursing Home is well-staffed and never uses agency nurses. This means that residents are always looked after by people who know them and their needs and who they know. I believe this is very important as the continuity instils trust and a feeling of security in the residents.
My brother and I are very impressed with the care my father receives and the support that we receive. I have no hesitation in recommending Farnham Mill when it is time to make the decision that your loved one needs professional care.

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.

My goal is that my contribution through experience, passion and determination gives everyone living at Farnham Mill the best possible quality of life.

Job Title: Head Chef

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.

Job Title: Reception

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.
