Care Home Owned by The Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution Care Company (RMBI) in East Sussex

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

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.

varied and thoughtful, with outdoor outings included. The housekeeping team do a great job keeping the home and laundry clean and the catering team provide a variety of food which Dad enjoys. Thank you everyone at Barford Court.

A very well-run friendly home, the manager and his team of professionals have made a world of difference, our Mum has made friends here, among both residents & staff and is flourishing.

discuss her care. For me, this also gives me peace of mind.

residents or find a quiet spot to relax if they prefer.
There are always activities going on for the residents to do, if they want to get involved, as well as trips out for them to have a change of scenery and to get out in the fresh air.
The quality of food is very good.

needs really you would think but with the extra positive attitude and training of the staff at Barford Court, they do these daily activities with so much care and respect.
It is very important for the residents to enjoy these things together, as part of enhancing their daily life.
Maintaining the skills of the residents for as long as possible, staff show such dignity and respect towards them, especially the company and friendship is so very important.
When visiting Mum, everyone is so welcoming and friendly, "Hello, how are you?", are words I hear constantly around the home, to residents and visitors.
Thank you.

being respectful of her desire for privacy. As a regular visitor, I sometimes join in with the weekly activities and chat to staff and other residents. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and I can see that everyone is well looked after. Over the years, I have had no hesitation in recommending Barford Court to friends whose loved ones have also enjoyed living there.

deteriorating, however, the staff give her the very best care and make her stay there, as comfortable as possible. It's so reassuring for our family to know she is safe, cared for and loved by all at Barford Court. We couldn't wish for her to be in a better place, our thanks go to all the staff at Barford Court.

reassured by all the activities in which our mother is encouraged to engage and the willingness of staff to discuss and report on all our mother's needs and health.

on how every member of staff we met had a smile and a cheerful word of greeting. My aunt's day was varied as her carer got her up and to lunch and brought her down to the pavilion where we sat and had good conversation with her and one of the other residents. We liked the bright new look after recent redecoration.

needs to be improved with more musical activities and entertainment. However, I am very optimistic that the new manager will provide this as he gets to grips with his new role and introduces a listening and learning culture. Indeed I am very pleased that he has begun to establish a stronger communication channel with relatives and that new activity coordinators have already been recruited.

were so lucky that we found Barford Court. She took part in activities, painting, baking, and best of all, visits from animals. She wasn’t too partial to the chicken visit but loved the rabbits. Dad was welcomed by the staff – and they looked after him too. All the staff are kind and thoughtful.
As Mum neared the end of life, we were so touched by staff coming to show us albums of photos taken of Mum over the years. Many came and said their final goodbyes when they could've been going home after a busy shift. So, if you face the unenviable task of finding 24-hour care for anyone, you can be sure that they will be cared for at all stages of life at Barford Court.
