Short-Term Care with Lasting Benefits
At Farnham Mill Nursing Home, near Alton, we provide respite care designed to give families a well-earned break while ensuring residents receive compassionate, professional support. Whether for a few days or several weeks, our home offers a safe, welcoming environment where every individual is cared for with dignity and respect.
As a family-run home for more than 50 years, we know how important it is for short-term stays to feel just as reassuring and personal as long-term care. Families trust us because we treat every resident as if they were part of our own family.
Residents receive full 24 hour care from experienced nurses and carers.

A Family Tradition of Care
Farnham Mill Nursing Home was founded in 1976 by Gillian Lee, guided by the principle that residents should be cared for like family. Today, her daughter Alison – a qualified nurse – leads the home with compassion and professionalism, supported by her daughter Anna. With three generations involved, our homes offer continuity, stability and a genuine sense of belonging.
A Permanent, Caring Team
We never use agency staff. Residents are always supported by a permanent team who know them well, providing consistency and familiarity. With higher staff-to-resident ratios than most homes, our carers have the time to deliver thoughtful, personalised care.
More than half of our team have been with us for more than five years, creating trusted relationships that make respite stays feel comfortable and reassuring.

Mealtimes are an important part of life here. All meals are freshly prepared daily with seasonal ingredients, and menus are adapted to residents’ preferences and dietary needs. Homemade biscuits, cakes and ice cream are available every day, adding comfort and variety.
