About Farmhouse Care Home
Farmhouse is a residential care home in Southampton. We are home to older people, including many living with dementia, and we offer respite stays for families needing a planned break. We try to run this as a household. That means the kitchen matters, the garden matters, and the afternoon is allowed to be unstructured. Residents get up when they wake rather than when a rota says so, eat when they are hungry, and spend the day as they would like to. Some want company and something going on. Others want their own chair, their own window and a bit of quiet, and we treat that as an equally good way to spend a Tuesday. Dementia care here rests on knowing people. We ask families for the history, the working life, the names, the music, the things that will still land when a good deal else has gone. It is the difference between managing somebody and actually keeping them company. Respite guests are properly looked after rather than parked. We find out beforehand how the person likes things done, because a short stay does not give us time to learn it slowly. Our overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good, and we hold onto it by paying attention to small things every day rather than to grand statements.
