About us

Charlotte Shatwell

Director

I’m a Director at Ashall Care Ltd and the Nominated Individual with the CQC for Farthings. The Farthings has been part of my family’s heart and lives for over 30 years. I have spent over 12 years working in various roles for the NHS, this gave me a great foundation of how care organisations should operate and how to set, achieve and maintain high standards of care. I have been working operationally at Farthings for over 9 years and it has been an absolute pleasure to be part of and seeing the home grow, evolve and move forward over this time. Every time I’m at Farthings I hear laughing amongst the residents and the staff team, it is truly heart-warming to know that the residents are happy and well looked after, as part of the Farthings family, and that the staff team are also happy in their work.

Lynne Fardell-Wain

Registered Manager

I’ve worked in care homes for over 24 years now, qualified with Level 2 and 3 in health and social care, Level 5 Management of Adult residential health and social care settings and Level 7 CMI Strategic management qualification I followed my mum into the job by volunteering at our local care home where she worked, she had also followed her mum into care as my nana was the Matron of a council care home for 20 years Everything I do makes me happy in my role but nothing more so than seeing my residents smile and knowing the staff feel supported and also enjoy their jobs as it can be long and at times difficult hours in care work. Over the years I have worked in 12 different homes, some of those were for the same company as I progressed, but to me, Farthings outweighs all previous experiences through my career. I feel happy and content here, I wake every day happy to come to work even through difficult times in the industry I always feel supported and encouraged by the Directors and the family as a whole. My favourite thing overall is that the home is family run but led by the residents wants and wishes and the company go above and beyond to ensure they receive everything they need along with The Farthings team all together really get on and enjoy working together and I feel 100% confident n the delivery of care to our residents is second to none.

Jean Kitt

Senior Carer

My name is Jean and I'm one of the Senior Carers at Farthings. I've worked in care for 16 years. I started work as a cover, because I needed a job and I thought it would do until I could find something else, but when I began working in a care home setting I realised that this was the career for me. I've worked in a couple of care homes and The Farthings is by far the best. I love coming to work every day. I'ts hard work sometimes, but the residents and staff are such lovely people, it's a pleasure and never a chore. I'd recommend The Farthings to everyone, including my own family.
