About House

Farnham Common House is a residential care home in Buckinghamshire, caring for older people who need support with everyday life, including residents living with dementia. What we provide is help with the ordinary business of the day, given without fuss: assistance to wash and dress, medication managed properly and on time, meals cooked on the premises, support to get about safely and staff available through the night. Around that, residents arrange their own days, and we try not to organise anybody's life on their behalf. Dementia care here is built on familiarity. Keeping staff, routines and surroundings consistent removes much of the anxiety that comes with memory loss, so we plan rotas with that in mind and we ask families to tell us about working lives, music, habits and the things that will always get a response. Respite stays are available as well as permanent places, whether to give a family carer a planned break or to help somebody regain confidence after a spell in hospital. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Families in Buckinghamshire are welcome to visit.
