What an excellent care home it is! The whole staff is so caring, kind and compassionate, treating my wife (who has been at Farnham Common House for over a year now) with such dignity, and loving care as if she is a member of their own family. Whatever aspect you look at, it really is so amazing and
so reassuring that our dearest person is in such good hands. My whole family and I really feel so happy that she is in such a nice place. A big big thank you to all the staff members at this nice place!

My mother was cared for with kindness and compassion. Nothing was too much trouble and daily contact through phone calls, video calls and garden visits were much appreciated and facilitated with great consideration.

The resident moved into Farnham Common House in May 2018. From the day of arrival I feel that the resident has been well cared for, well looked after, treated with dignity and is in a safe and secure environment.
The management of admin support and care teams have been excellent. We visited the resident
on a regular basis, experienced no problems and when we left, we always knew that the resident was fine and that we did not have to worry about anything.

My mother in law's fish and chip dinner was just fabulous. The detail you thought of was just amazing, even down to the photos of Cliftonville Seafront in her own 'personalised' menus. The entertainment was equally brilliant and to see my wonderful mum-in-law singing along to some of the 'good old tunes'
just made my year. The staff who were our waiters and waitresses joined in like part of the family. All in, I would not change a thing.

My 96-year-old mother has been at Farnham Common House now for nearly eighteen months. I visit regularly and am able to see first hand the level of care afforded to Mum and the other residents. I have attended the activities programmes held in the Lounge and know how much Mum enjoys being part of.
Mum has sung all her life and through some of the activities held, has been able to continue to do so which makes her very happy. All of the residents enjoy the activities and it is lovely to see them taking part too.
I stated on my review last year that my mother would not be alive today if it wasn’t for the care she has been given at Farnham Common House and my opinion has not changed. It is a delight to visit her and meet with everyone involved in her care and also the other residents. The care staff always make time to speak with me and nothing is too much trouble.

My husband moved here in July 2018. He settled immediately. He is very happy at Farnham Common House. He is well looked after, carers maintain a good standard of personal hygiene. The home is a caring, calm environment. Couldn't recommend enough, very homely.

This care home treats residents with compassion and respects their dignity. The standards seem reasonable and the rooms are clean and pleasant.
I particularly like the variety of activities which take place each morning as these encourage the residents to interact with each other and the person running
the activity be it singing, carpet bowls or bingo, to use a few examples. Having a leader for activities for people with dementia is essential as they are not able to instigate any interaction on their own.

The staff at Farnham Common House are friendly, approachable, very helpful and caring. It was a very hard decision to place my Mum in a care home (we looked at several) but, a few months down the line, we know it is the best decision we could have made both for Mum and our family. I know that Mum enjoys
interacting with the staff and residents and the daily activities keep her occupied and engaged, they do an excellent job of keeping everyone entertained, from playing bingo to visiting singers, there is always something going on. Recently Mum really enjoyed the Alpacas that visited the home.
From our initial feeling of FCH being the right home for Mum, we can now say that we have been proved right and know that she is in good hands.

Seeing mum enjoy having the Alpacas around and being able to get up close and fuss them is priceless.
This kind of event brings mum back home to us all.

I was really worried when we found out Mum was going into a Care home, you see so much bad press in the papers and television news. When the time came for Mum to be booked in the first thing that hit me was how clean/tidy the home was and Mum's room was gorgeous, lovely colours, she had a keyworker,
her own bathroom and the dining room/lounge was immaculate. We made the right choice and in the past 2 years I have had no cause for concern and would recommend Farnham Common House to anyone.

We have been extremely happy and pleased with the care my Father-in-law has received during his time at Farnham Common House. The staff have been very friendly, helpful and always taken time to speak to us during visits and contact us regularly if any issues have arisen. Although his condition does
not allow him to express anything he seems to have been very happy at Farnham Common House. It is only his deteriorating condition that has led to his move elsewhere, nothing to do with Farnham Common House.

This is an excellent care home that goes the extra mile for the residents. It is very well managed and the carers have respect for the management because they are valued, receive good training and like working at Farnham Common House as a result. The activities provided are varied and everything is
done to encourage residents to be independent. The food is good and the accommodation excellent. Whenever there are any issues, however small it might be, it is dealt with quickly and effectively. I really feel the level of care for my Mum to be excellent.

I wanted to let people know how wonderful Farnham House is.
My nan lived there and was so well looked after, all her needs were met and she was treated so well.
The staff are incredible, really caring and supportive and non-stop care at that.
Nan was happy there, the staff really cared about her,
always kept an eye on her and made sure she was OK.
I wanted to say such a huge thank you, to you all, it is such a tough job, and you do it with a smile on your faces, you are all angels, and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. You looked after Nan so well.
You tried to get her to join in with activities, but I know she didn't like that very much, but you never forced her, she could do as she wished.
Her room was lovely, clean, fresh and space for her things.
All the staff are friendly, always ready for a chat when we visited, and as I say, always with smiles.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.635)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.635) out of 10 for Farnham Common House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.635 for Farnham Common House is calculated as follows: ( (83 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 126 Ratings = 4.635

  • 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 Common House is based on 11 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 11 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.
