About
Farthings Residential Care Home is a 22-bed home in Retford, Nottinghamshire, providing residential, dementia and respite care for older people. The home has been in the same family for a long time, and its owners have carried out a complete refurbishment. All rooms are en suite, giving each resident private space.
Residents are encouraged to eat together in the dining room, though they may choose to eat elsewhere. The enclosed outdoor space includes flower beds, a vegetable garden and a running water feature. A dedicated member of staff supports physical activity, and the home holds its own family events and offers hairdressing and nail services. The Care Quality Commission rated the home Good overall in 2022, with Good ratings for all five key questions: safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led.
