I find the activities to keep the residents motivated and enjoyable to be an asset. Every resident takes part whether its a visit by a dog or a pony. Games, singing, exercises to keep fit using scarfs, squeeze balls etc. Seasonal activities like Halloween, bonfire night, poppy making and of course
Christmas, to name a few. Its a pleasure to visit and talk to all residents and staff.

The home, is a beautiful period property which is peaceful, warm and welcoming and in a beautiful rural setting. It is very homely with small sitting room type areas giving a cosy feel. The food is lovely and is home cooked and of high quality. The bedrooms are also homely with beautiful views
and flooded with natural light.
Last but not least, the staff, they are kind, compassionate and caring, going above and beyond. Nicola ( home manager) is approachable , hands on and very "present" with the residents, getting involved in all tasks with her team. Michelle is the entertainment coordinator, organising lots of engaging activities and events accross all seasonal events.
As a family we experienced a very different situation, in another care home where mum was a resident, Farfillimore is a smaller more personal care home, which we prefer and suits our mums needs better due to it being more homely and less clinical,
I would highly recommend

My wife has been a resident for just over a year. After an initial difficult start, she settled in and is more content now. She takes part in the various activities and enjoys the visits of Max the dog and the small horse. I am kept fully informed about any decisions regarding her health (eg visit
of physiotherapist, doctor, etc.). The care home itself is well laid out and convenient for meals, activities and visits. Overall, it is going well.

Cannot compliment the Manager and staff enough at Far Fillimore for their compassion, empathy, understanding and unwavering care for my Mum. The Home is very well run and I am always informed about my Mums care, something I have not had before at another Care Home. I have full confidence that my Mum
is well cared for, safe and happy at Far Fillimore. Credit to Nicola and Emma and their wonderful team of Care Staff who work tirelessly to create a welcoming and happy Home.
Would not hesitate to recommend Far Filimore.
Keep up your excellent work, it's very much appreciated.

The staff at Far Fillimore Care have been very approachable and pleasant to deal with. They were really good with the transition of my father from hospital. They have been very attentive to his needs both medical and personal.

Dad has settled into life at the care home. He takes part in all the activities and enjoys everything. Well done to the tea, at Far Fillimore.

Step inside Far Fillimore Care Home and immediately you are greeted with smiles, warmth and an atmosphere of caring.
Having had some distress at having to place a friend into a residential home, local opinion and reputation said 'try Far Fillimore' first and thank goodness there was a space
available.
The welcome, friendship, kindness and care and relaxed atmosphere were perfect for my friend. Like coming home. All this is only achieved by those within and sheer hard work. A credit to all.

A pleasant, quiet home in lovely surroundings. Plenty of space for sitting and chatting with Mum when the weather is fine! I am always kept informed about any aspect of my mother's care, eg medical visits, eating/drinking etc.
Managers and staff are very approachable.

Our mother is 98 years old and reasonably fit, but she has dementia. She moved into Far Fillimore in mid July and we are delighted at how quickly she settled in. Before then she would display symptoms of stress when she was unhappy, and it's clear that she is now contented, occupied and well cared
for. She looks interested in life again and is able to move freely and safely with her new walking frame. She loves the social side of this friendly home. the staff are brilliant at dealing with dementia, kindly and patiently. Family are welcome to visit any time and we always find her nicely dressed and her hair in order. This is a very well run home and we are hugely impressed and grateful for their care.

Mum first went in for respite care, she had been living with my husband and me for two years. After a period of time trying to shower her became almost impossible. Her mobility was getting worse, and after a long chat, she said she wanted to go into permanent care, so, Far Fillimore Care Home was
chosen because she got on well with the staff, it was clean and very homely.
10 November 2022
From the first meeting and initial viewing to the present day we have no complaints. Facilities and cleanliness is excellent and all the staff members are pleasant and very helpful. All my father's needs are met and there is a very happy feel to the home.
25 October 2022
Lovely caring staff, a real home from home and a safe environment. Good communication and go the extra mile to ensure my father gets the best care. The rooms are clean and there is no smell as I have found in other homes. Dad is always happy and although he can't remember what he has had to eat he
always says it was "lovely".

The home provides a very pleasant and safe environment for it's residents in a quiet setting in the countryside. The level of cleanliness is particularly high, the meals are varied and well presented and the overall atmosphere welcoming and caring. The on-site management is worthy of particular note
for both efficiency and exceeding one's expectations.

My mother has been a resident in Far Fillimore for several years and has received excellent care. They have continued to give her full attention, ongoing with her decline of health. During covid the home gave every attention to detail, keeping all the residents safe and well. The home is clean and
comfy and the staff are wonderful.
14 September 2022
My mother has been cared for by the Far Fillimore staff for just over two years. They understand the care she needs, and they provide a safe, caring and friendly place for her to live. Her room is clean and tidy, and the house and gardens are kept beautiful. They have regular functions and
activities, including regular music events. Since being in Far Fillimore, her general health has improved, even though she is suffering from the early stages of dementia.
08 September 2022
Very good and caring staff. My mother is well looked after and all her needs are catered for.
My own concerns (if any) are answered quickly and everything is explained clearly to me.
08 September 2022
My aunt has been a resident at Far Fillmore for five years now, and I can honestly say that I could not have wished for a better home for her. The managers and staff have done their very best to ensure her safety and continued health. In addition, they organised various activities and parties
throughout the year to provide interest for residents and their families. Far Fillmore is an excellent home in all meanings of the more.
08 September 2022
My mother is a resident here. We are extremely happy with the care and service to cater to all of her needs. Family members are continuously involved and supported in all that happens in the home.
31 August 2022
The care provided by the manager and her team is second to none. My mum has been at Far Fillmore since December 2021 and as a family, we are really happy with the care provided for my mum, they go above and beyond.
