I feel that the nursing and care team are attentive and caring towards my dad. They make him feel special and that means the world to all of us. Thank you. It would be nice if he was able to go out on trips a little more often than he does, but I understand there are limited spaces but I have noticed
that pictures are posted on social media when he goes into the lounges for group singing etc and like to see this. Thank you

I was very apprehensive about my husband going into a care home. I really didn't have to worry about anything; the care he receives is second to none. The staff really care for the residents and their families; I feel like the staff are extended family. I would have no hesitation in recommending Farnsworth
Care Home.

All the staff looking after my Mum were extremely caring and patient with her. They kept me up to date with any health issues she had. Mum found it hard at first to settle in but soon was laughing with the staff who made her welcome. They were there for her in her last hours when sadly I could not be
there due to my own health issues and living in Wales. I cannot praise them enough for all their care and dedication to her.

Since my brother was admin to the Nursing home in November for respite care, and now a permanent resident. He as been treated with dignity, respect, all staff are conscientious, friendly and caring towards all patients. I have visited other homes and found that Farnworth Nursing home is absolutely wonderful.
Patient focus is always good and nothing is too much for them. Staff are happy friendly listen to relatives problems and concerns an act on solution if needed. Would highly recommend the Nursing home and would never move him .

I was welcomed by staff on the reception desk and during my visit found all staff to be friendly, easily approachable and helpful. It was my friend's birthday and birthday banners had been put up in his room and on the corridor. There was a pleasant, calm and welcoming atmosphere and my friend was relaxed
and happy. Having experienced difficulties at some previous care homes due to my friends complex needs, I know that I have finally found a care home that is just that...Home.

My mum has been in the care home for 3 years and in that time the care and kindness towards her and my family has been first class, of course its never going to be perfect with 40 residents on the floor but in my mums case I can say the care has been excellent and I would personally like to thank all
the staff for taking care of my mum.

I left a review when my father-in-law stayed for a month earlier this year, this time just a few days, but he said he loves coming on holiday to Farnworth, he says the staff are all lovely, so friendly and always happy, he loves the food, he is looking forward to coming again in the future. We tried
a nursing home in Radcliffe and a few others but he didn't like them at all. This is the first home he has stayed in more than once, so relieved we have found somewhere he likes.

My Uncle was in Farnworth care home recently with Stage 4 cancer and I could not have been happier with the care that he received in his short time there. All the care staff treated him with kindness and respect and the nursing staff were wonderful at the end. I would like to thank Claire for her help
and guidance with the NHS CHC processes and the level of care that her team delivered. If you are looking for a quality home for your loved one - This is it

This care home is so lovely and both myself and my brother are so relieved we managed to get our Mum a place on the nursing unit. From the moment we arrived to have a look around to now having Mum settled in and being looked after by the lovely nurses and staff, it's been such a faultless experience.
Nothing is too much trouble, just ask and someone is always happy to help. Mum's even had her hair done today in the onsite salon. It's so important to pick the right place for your loved ones when they need it and we couldn't be happier.

I was impressed as soon as I walked in to view Farnworth Care Home, I was struck by the cleanliness but also from the friendly welcome on reception. I had to find a place urgently for my brother and my sister in law. I was helped enormously by management, and all staff, they helped me through a very
stressful time. The care they have given my brother and his wife is wonderful, but also very approachable with visiting family. The family and I are so pleased we made the right choice with Farnworth care home.

My mum lived in Farnworth Care Home for a year. It was a huge change after living independently until she was 100. I and the rest of her family have only the highest praise for the way she was looked after. She was made welcome from the start and treated with such care and respect. Staff are friendly,
professional, and very approachable. There is a wide range of outings and activities, but if like mum, you prefer to stay in your room and read or watch TV then that is fine.The private rooms and public spaces are kept immaculately clean. The staff made mum feel very special in her final year and I know she felt loved.

The minute I entered the home to view it on behalf of my auntie I knew it was the right place for my her; it immediately felt warm and inviting and I wasn't wrong to go with my feelings. Although my auntie was sadly only there for 3 weeks I can honestly say I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone
who is looking for a care home for themselves or their loved one. Everyone whom we came in to contact with showed both my auntie and our family compassion and respect. The staff, whatever their role were warm and caring. I don't know if they are aware of it but they embraced both my aunt and the family into their family. I will always be extremely grateful; it made a very sad time more bearable.

I have no complaints at all about my wife's care. The staff are caring, considerate, helpful, friendly and cheerful. The only point I would raise is with only one disabled parking space you get inconsiderate people without a Blue Badge using that space, causing inconvenience and trouble for people who
do need it. Not of course the fault of the management but the inconsiderate attitude of certain people.

Reply from Jayms Bell, Home Manager at Farnworth Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on yours and your loved one's experience of Farnworth Care Home.

I found Farnworth Care Home a very friendly atmosphere. My mum only stayed for 3 weeks, but I felt like she was in a very safe environment, and everyone who dealt with her was absolutely brilliant in every way. They were very helpful, always chatty and very smiley which I loved. Nothing was too much
trouble and they went above and beyond to help my mum. Thank you very much for all your help and looking after our mum.

My sister-in-law was admitted to Farnworth Care Home on 15th August and sadly passed away on 29th August. Throughout the brief period of her admission to her passing, I can only say that the care and dignity afforded to her by the staff on the Belmont unit was outstanding. Not only did this extend to
my sister-in-law, but to all the family and friends involved in her care. On the morning of her passing, we were overwhelmed by the care and attention to detail provided by the nursing staff to ensure that the dying process was dignified and respectful and made an extremely sad and difficult time more bearable and comforting. We cannot praise them enough.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.754)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.754) out of 10 for Farnworth Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 42 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 42 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 4.754 for Farnworth Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (384 Excellents x 5) + (86 Goods x 4) + (17 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 487 Ratings = 4.754

  • 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 Farnworth Care Home is based on 42 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 120 registered maximum number of service users is 24, which has been reached with 42 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.

Job Title: Home Manager

Joined: 2022

After qualifying as a Mental Health Nurse in 2007, I have gained over 15 years of experience working in the private care sector, predominantly with older adults. This area is especially important to me as I have experienced first-hand the negative side of caring for a loved one. I vowed to my profession that I would try my very hardest to ensure that nobody within my care would experience what I experienced. This is the ethos that I use each and every day.
