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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Far Fillimore Care Home has excellent leadership. Where the care of all the residents is top priority at all times. Good hard-working staff, help the residents to achieve within their own capabilities at all times. There are many activities during each month which vary in nature so all can enjoy, to
include family (depending on covid restrictions). Communication with the managers is quick and I am informed at all times of Mum's welfare. The home is very clean and organised. Mum is always well dressed and more importantly, very happy.

Far Fillimore Care Home is based in lovely grounds in the Staffordshire countryside. The home itself is kept clean, and the food is of very good quality. The staff are friendly and informative and give good quality time to the residents as they keep the number of residents per carer to a manageable
level. There is a good range of activities to keep the resident cognitively stimulated.

My sister-in-law is in her fourth year as a resident. During this time, has been superbly cared for and received expert professional supervision. The staff are friendly and are able to cope with any situation. The rooms are very clean and always free from order. Home cooking is provided to a high standard.
The country setting of the home and garden is most attractive.

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.549)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.549) out of 10 for Far Fillimore Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 3 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 4.722 for Far Fillimore Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (26 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.722

  • 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 3.827 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Far Fillimore Care Home is based on 3 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 = 3.25

    • 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 26 registered maximum number of service users is 5.2. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 5.2 = 0.577

  • 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.
