Knellwood is an award-winning care home in Farnborough for residents aged over 65
It is rated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) as ‘Good’ in all areas, and is one of the top 20 out of over 2500 care homes in South East England.
Knellwood provides excellent residential, nursing and short-stay care for up to 52 seniors.
The home was opened in 1947 as Farnborough’s memorial to local servicemen and women who gave their lives in the Second World War. Priority is given to applications from those living in the Farnborough area or with relatives in the borough.
Qualified nursing staff are on duty 24 hours a day and each member of our dedicated, caring team benefits from an ongoing training programme that reinforces our aims and objectives. All staff are carefully selected and we will only recruit those who demonstrate the skills and commitment necessary to meet the needs of our residents in a friendly and caring manner.
Our staff turnover is very low and we consider it to be one of our strengths. The vast majority have been at Knellwood for many years. As a result, we all have the benefit of getting to know our residents very well as individuals and they get to know us. This ceates a ‘family’ atmosphere. The aim of the home is to provide individual, person-centred care in a safe, warm environment which respects residents’ rights to privacy, dignity and personal choice.
Our team is responsible for agreeing and implementing care plans, tailored to individual needs and designed to ensure the best possible quality of life for every resident at Knellwood. The Registered Manager and Senior Nursing Staff are always available to discuss personal requirements or to answer questions.
Message from our manager
“Knellwood strives each day to provide truly palpable care. Our aim is to ensure that everyone who comes to live at Knellwood enjoys a meaningful life, regardless of their chronological age or any underlying illnesses. We actively encourage participation in new ventures, hobbies, and interests, and maintain strong involvement with the Farnborough community. We promote independence and have made significant investments to ensure that the emotional and psychological needs of all residents remain at the heart of their care and wellbeing.
Families continue to play an active role in residents’ lives. They are warmly welcomed, encouraged to be involved, and invited to participate in events, excursions, and day-to-day care. For every resident who comes to Knellwood, their family remains an integral part of their journey, with open access to the home 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We host family days and a variety of memorable events throughout the year, where residents and their loved ones are always at the centre.
Knellwood is proud to be a family-oriented home. While residents live at Knellwood, they remain valued members of the wider Farnborough community.
To ensure every resident experiences a high quality of life and truly person-centred care, we implement a thorough and highly selective recruitment process across all services. We appoint staff who demonstrate a genuine passion for care and a deep commitment to the well-being of our elderly residents.
We are proud of our diverse workforce, united by a shared value that everyone is treated fairly, equally, and with dignity. These values have led to Knellwood being awarded the Platinum Investors in People (IIP) accreditation on two consecutive occasions, a foundation that is a must for palpable care to prevail.”
