Care Homes Owned by A&R Care Ltd

a bed that did not work, a room door with a broken handle and nail clippings and hair on the floor from a previous resident and a soiled pad in the drawers. I can only say that had I been able to view the home I absolutely would have not allowed my father to be admitted to Barrington Lodge. My father changed rooms three times and all of those rooms had issues, falls my father had were not reported to me.
I could say much more but recalling how my father ended his life there, it is too upsetting. The manager is semi part-time and never there.
I am dumbfounded by the CQC Good rating as Barrington Lodge 100 per cent has many serious issues.

later our father is still resident in a box room with a broken hospital bed, a door that can only stay open with a chair obstructing, a bell that is rarely in reach of our father and doesn't register to his room, and a small table that is lopsided, causing spillages and is rarely in our fathers reach. There are no facilities for my father, we have placed a TV in his room but it is only turned on when we visit and the controls are never in his reach when we arrive. The room and floor are always sticky. Staff are unaware of our father's needs and do not assist with his food or drink. There are many other issues management does not address. The overall standard in our case is extremely poor but maybe not yours.

reciprocal from mum.
Speaking to the manager on the phone was very assuring. The whole respite experience for Mum was very positive. Mum has returned home in an improved state of health and well being, so I must conclude that mum's stay at Beechwood was a very positive one.
