About Mill Nursing Home
Farnham Mill Nursing Home is in Farnham, Surrey. We look after older people whose health needs go beyond what family or residential care can manage at home, and a large part of our work is with people living with dementia. Having registered nurses on duty at any hour is the practical reason most people come to us. It means we can manage complex medication, skin and pressure care, continence and nutrition, and keep close enough watch on somebody's health that changes are picked up early instead of turning into emergencies. When a person is nearing the end of their life, it means we can keep them comfortable here, among people who know them. Dementia care asks for something different from clinical skill. It asks for a day that runs in a familiar order, for surroundings that are easy to read, and for staff who will go where the person is rather than correcting them. We take time to learn about somebody's earlier life, their work and their family, because that is what makes sense of how they are now. Respite and short stays are available, whether for a planned break for a family carer or for somebody recovering after illness. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. You are welcome to come and look round Farnham Mill.
