Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Dad has been at Barford Court for about a year now. Moving him into a care home was a difficult but necessary decision and I would be lying if I said I was certain that Barford Court was the right fit for him to start off with. However, it didn't take long for any fears to be alleviated. It has a
calm and caring ethos, and it is clear that the residents are treated as individuals. All of the staff are lovely and I am confident that my Dad is well cared for at Barford Court.

Barford looked after my mum for two and half years. This was her home and right until the end she had excellent care. Even when things got really difficult with Mum, everyone at Barford including the care team, house keeping, maintenance and even visiting activity teams were kind and patient. Barford
supported us as a family and allowed me to be a daughter again. In the last week of her life I could stay at Barford, with Mum and this is so precious to me. The staff were amazing and took care of everything so I could just be with Mum. Thankyou all.

We are very happy with the continuing care at Barford Court.

I wanted to send my heartfelt gratitude to the wonderful staff at Barford Court. As a family, we were apprehensive about the prospect of Dad needing additional care. But from the moment we saw BC, it became our home too. My young children called it "Pop's Hotel" - they could see that it was a haven
for him. As Dad's health declined and we knew the end was near, you opened your home and your hearts to us even more. The last four days of Dad's life was spent by his bedside: reminiscing, listening to music, crying and laughing. We were able to surround him with the love he had so selflessly shown us all our lives. You gave the five of us, the space and freedom to be with him however we needed to be. EVERY member of staff here showed us such care, reassurance and guidance. Most importantly, we could see how much Dad meant to you all. You cared for Dad with dignity and love. THANK YOU

My mother moved into Barford Court at the end of February following a period of reduced mobility meaning at age 95 she could no longer live in her own home. She was fiercely independent and this was a huge move for her however the way in which she was welcomed, supported and cared for during what became
the last four months of her life was exemplary. Everyone from the team leaders to the amazing carers, admin team and those cleaning/doing the laundry are professional, dedicated and caring and supported my mother in a very light touch /maximum care way that was pitched perfectly. As gradually more support was needed they were there every step of the way and since I visited almost every day I saw the home in all its guises and every one of them was excellent in terms of the care provided and their thoughtfulness at difficult times. I could not recommend Barford Court and their fabulous team more highly and will be forever grateful for everything they did for my mother.

Our father has resided at Barford Court for 2 years, the home is well run, welcoming and spacious, with lovely gardens. There is good continuity of staff and all staff are kind caring and responsive to our father's and everyone's needs, treating all with respect and dignity. The activity programme is

Throughout the process from initial assessment to trial stay, and moving to permanent, the team at Barford Court have been amazing. They helped to remove any concerns regarding level of care and financial aspects. Whenever we visit there is always assistance and supervision on hand, and always a schedule
