Farthings Residential Care Home

from Elspeth M (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 October 2024
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

I am very happy with the care that Mum is getting at Farthings - as is she! My brothers and I had heard good word-of-mouth reports of the home when she initially needed short-term respite care and count ourselves very fortunate that she has been able to continue with longer-term care as needed. The
carers are great and so supportive and friendly. The manager and deputy manager have always been responsive whenever I've been in touch about anything. Mum's room really feels like home with her favourite pictures up and some key bits of furniture and it's great to visit her there. The activities programme is varied and well thought out and the parties are really fun too!

Reply from Lynne Fardell-Wain, Registered Manager at Farthings Residential Care Home

Thank you so much for your lovely words we love caring for your mum and we learn something from her every day! We look forward to many more years with her and enjoying your family visits too. Many thanks again.

Farthings Residential Care Home

from Lindsey B (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 October 2024
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

Farthings is a lovely residential care home and my mum has settled in there well. She's been there for two years. Her room is adequate for her current needs and is kept clean and tidy. The building is a converted farmhouse and retains many of its original characters. This helps create a homely feel
as opposed to purpose-built facilities. However, it creates some issues in terms of lack of storage space etc.
The care staff are amazing which is reflected in her care. They treat my mum with kindness and dignity. Any issues raised with care staff are dealt with promptly and effectively within their remit. Management staff sometimes be unavailable in person, but emails and other messaging are generally dealt with in a reasonable amount of time. Records could be improved and care plans are often not completed on time but reflect my mum's needs.
Food and drink are ample and good variety available for residents. All of which is prepared and cooked on site.
I would recommend this care home.

Reply from Lynne Fardell-Wain, Registered Manager at Farthings Residential Care Home

Thank you so much for your review it's great to hear you feel Mum is well cared for I agree the care staff are amazing! I appreciate your words and take on board your comments around our availability and care plans and aim to ensure this improves in the future. We certainly love caring for Mum. She is a true pleasure to have with us.

Farthings Residential Care Home

from Yvonne C (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 October 2024
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

A caring environment for my mum. It's getting harder to have an idea of some things such as facilities and activities. As my mum's dementia worsens, she cannot remember if she has participated in activities even if I ask her about displays of work on the wall. Nowadays Mum can be agitated and grumpy
at times. It is good to know that the staff are aware that behind these moods caused by dementia that there is a nice lady.

Reply from Lynne Fardell-Wain, Registered Manager at Farthings Residential Care Home

Thanks for your lovely words, we think the world of Mum and love having her with and she makes a wonderful contribution to the wall displays, a top crafter and creator! Dementia is a cruel disease but we are proud to be able to support Mum through her difficult times here at Farthings.

Farthings Residential Care Home

from C B (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 October 2024
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

My 84-year-old mum has been a resident at Farthings for 20 months. She has settled well and seems to enjoy living there. The staff are very friendly, supportive and helpful. The home feels very homely, like home from home. Mum's room is in adequate for her needs, we did have an issue with boxes of pads
being stored in there, mentioned this to Management and it was eventually sorted. Not keen on the ramp at the front of the building, it feels quite steep when trying to get Mum in and out of the building, but I understand that this is being replaced. Various activities take place during the week and we did have a trip to the theatre earlier this year which Mum enjoyed. The home is in a very peaceful village.

Reply from Lynne Fardell-Wain, Registered Manager at Farthings Residential Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to send your review and such lovely words, we enjoy caring for your mum and she certainly keeps us smiling! You're right the ramp at the front is being updated and we look forward to that improvement soon.

Caring and compassionate staff who work hard to ensure the dignity of their guests. This relates to all members of the team cleaners, hairdressers, activity manager, cooks, carers etc. All this makes for a family environment which is respectful of the range of challenges the mixed guest group presents
with. Visitors are made to feel welcome and included.

My nan came in after she broke her wrist and damaged her elbow from a fall. She has been extremely well looked after and cared for. All staff are extremely friendly and accommodating and have made my nan and us very welcome. They are always on hand to speak to and reassure her. Very well-run care home.

Hi Louise, thank you for your lovely comments, I promise to share these with the team at Barnby. It was a pleasure and a privilege to care for your nan, she really did enjoy you all visiting and talked lovingly about you all, she is a very special person. Once again, thank you for taking the time to share Nan's and your experience with us at Barnby Court. Cheers, Margaret.

Mum has been at Barnby Court Care Home for two years and is very happy and settled. The staff are all very friendly, not only to the residents but also to relatives and visitors.
Nothing seems to be too much trouble and I would have no hesitation in recommending Barnby Court to anyone.

Barnby Court Care Home

from Tracey L (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 July 2024
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5

Sadly not a positive experience and a total lack of care for my mum who stayed at Barnby Court Care Home for respite care.
Staff ignored the buzzer and kept her waiting for an hour and half before she could use the toilet. She could not go to the bathroom herself because she felt dizzy and needed help.
On her first day, they did not give or offer mum any breakfast at all. She had a drink of orange juice and that was it until lunchtime. When she wanted to go to the toilet there was no toilet paper and the toilet was filthy.
When mum was downstairs the care assistant told mum she had to walk up the stairs herself. She cannot climb stairs as she has had 2 knee replacements and also is out of breath because of her heart condition and it would have been totally unsafe for her to even try. They left her sitting in a chair downstairs until after 11 pm that night. She was absolutely exhausted and feeling very unwell. She had just come out of hospital.

from Debbie H (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 January 2024

Dad has been in Barnby Court now for nearly two years, sadly suffering from advanced Alzheimer’s. The home is very well-run and spotlessly clean. The residents are regularly entertained with music and games to which family is always encouraged to join in where possible. The food is all home-cooked on-site
and is of a very high standard with lovely homemade cakes. Dad is always kept well-groomed and seems very happy and content. It was a very difficult decision to put Dad into care, but I couldn’t be happier with the choice we made. The staff are so dedicated, friendly, caring, patient and always happy to help, I cannot compliment them enough. I would not hesitate to recommend Barnby Court if you are looking for residential care for your loved one.

Reply from Margaret Greaves, Registered Manager at Barnby Court Care Home

Thank you so much for your kind comments, Dad is a big part of Barnby and we wouldn't be able to deliver the same level of care without your and Mum's input. Thank you for attending parties and entertainment where and when you can, it is very much appreciated by us and of course Dad. Thank you again for your continued support.
