Overall Experience

I could not be happier with the care and support my dear Dad has in your care home. As you know he loves his food & he is always given a good variety which he enjoys. I live in Devon & its such piece of mind that Dad is in your care, as I am so far away. I would like to thankyou all for your

patience & understanding also.

Reply from Ania George, Director at Hill Barn Care HomeThank you so much for your kind and thoughtful feedback. It truly means a great deal to our whole team to know that your dad is happy, well cared for, and enjoying his meals.
We understand how difficult it can be when loved ones live far away, so it is especially rewarding to hear that we have been able to give you peace of mind. Your thanks for our patience and understanding will be shared with the team, who will be very touched by your words.

Hill Barn Care Home
from Jane N (Friend of Resident) published on 19 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My friend Isobel had a difficult illness that made it hard for her to communicate and restricted her mobility. Isobel had requested a room at Hill Barn before her illness became debilitating, and she was very grateful that a room was found for her when she could no longer manage by herself. The room

was able to accommodate some furnishings from Isobel's home, including lots of pictures that were put on the walls. making the room feel homely and familiar.

The calm atmosphere at Hill Barn made Isobel feel safe and comfortable. All the staff were attentive and treated her with respect and compassion. This allowed Isobel to maintain her dignity and enjoy the company of others when she wished, or to enjoy privacy when she preferred.

I felt that the team at Hill Barn were very fond of Isobel and did everything they could to improve her quality of life. It is a great comfort to know that such caring people were with her when friends and family couldn't be there.

Thank you.

Jane

Reply from Ania George, Director at Hill Barn Care HomeThank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and moving review.

We are honoured that Isobel was able to come to Hill Barn Care Home at a time when she needed support most. It means a great deal to us that her room could be made to feel familiar and homely, and that this helped her feel safe and comfortable during such a difficult period.

Your words about the calm atmosphere, dignity, compassion, and respect shown by our team will be very meaningful to the staff who cared for Isobel. They genuinely strive to support each person as an individual-offering companionship when wanted and privacy when preferred-and it is reassuring to know this was felt so clearly.

Thank you for trusting us with Isobel's care. Knowing that her friends and family felt comforted by the care she received is something we value deeply.

Were very pleased to hear that your mother felt supported and well cared for during her time with us.

Overall Experience

My mother, who suffers from Alzheimer's and vascular dementia, moved into Hill Barn in January 2025. I cannot speak highly enough of the standard of care she receives. Without exception, the fantastic staff are deeply caring and have helped Mum settle in and give myself and my brothers complete peace

of mind. The home's location is idyllic. It is also relatively small, which means we know Mum is receiving one-on-one care. The atmosphere is always warm and caring. There is nowhere else I would want my mother to be.

Reply from Ania George, Director at Hill Barn Care HomeThank you so much for your kind words. We are truly delighted to hear how well your mum has settled at Hill Barn and that you feel confident in the care she receives. Our team takes great pride in creating a warm, homely environment where every resident feels valued and supported, so your feedback means a great deal to us.
I will share your lovely comments with the team - they will be thrilled to know their hard work is appreciated.

My husband has been a resident for a month.After reading the reviews, CQC report and a visit to the home, I felt this was a good choice. This decision proved to be correct. It is very homely, the staff/management are very kind, caring, efficient and always available to speak to.The home has a very good

relationship with the local surgery, which is just across the road.The home is clean, the rooms are comfortable, the residents are safe, secure and treated with dignity.The food is good, I have been welcomed and stayed for lunch several times.Plenty of drinks are always available, this is monitored well. The activities are plentiful/varied/fun and residents are encouraged to join in. The washing is done regularly, although I have named all my husband's clothes, sometimes these go missing, understandably, with so much to do. A quick word with the staff/management and this is resolved.

Reply from Isaac George, Referrals at Fairland HouseThankyou for your kind review of Fairland House. We are extremely happy that you are pleased with your decision to place your trust in us with the care of your husband. We are proud of our staff for their recent CQC 'good' rating, and that you rate our food and activity choices. We will continue to review our laundry processes and make any changes that will stop this happening in the future. Best Regards

Overall Experience

My father received fantastic care at Hill Barn. All the staff were very kind and caring and he was well looked after. He had a very big appetite and loved eating and they made sure he had all the food he wanted, sometimes having a whole second dinner. He was so happy there and they made sure he was

comfortable. I found all the staff to be very friendly, engaged and helpful, which was very reassuring and meant I didn't need to worry about him. A very big thank you to all the staff for making him feel at home and happy. You're doing a fantastic job!

My father has settled very well at Ailwyn Hall. The care staff are unfailingly kind and responsive to his needs. He clearly feels supported and has noticeably relaxed since arriving at the home. When the family visits we are always helped to settle him - often outside in the peaceful garden. We feel

confident that our father is in the best place for him and his needs.

Reply from Isaac George, Referrals at Ailwyn Hall Care HomeThank you for your kind review of Ailwyn Hall. We are extremely pleased that your dad has settled in well, and that you rate the care that our staff provide. We hope he continues to use our beautiful garden whenever the weather suffices.

Personal care is very poor. Some mornings she left to wash & dress herself. I've had to buy her some towels. Her clothes get lost in the wash room. The food is very poor she just eats what she can. Some days she gets nothing to eat from lunch til the next morning.

Reply from Ania George, Director at Fairland HouseThank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear your concerns, though it is a shame you didn't come and speak to our manager directly. We have an open-door policy and always encourage families to share any worries so we can resolve them immediately. We would like to reassure you that your mum has actually gained a stone in weight since coming to the home, which shows she is eating well and enjoying a good variety of food. She is also a very independent lady who prefers to dress and carry out her personal hygiene on her own, and we support and encourage this independence as part of her care. We do everything possible to safeguard residents' belongings, including clothes and personal items, and will continue to review our laundry processes to minimise any inconvenience. Please do feel free to contact the home manager at any time if you would like to discuss this further.

from P C (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 10 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My father-in-law has been a resident since May and has been well looked after by the manager and staff at Hillbarn. He keeps himself to himself and mainly in his room, but has enjoyed watching the work that has been happening to renovate the old pond in the courtyard. As he previously built and looked

after his own pond he is knowledgeable about keeping fish in a good environment. The pond redevelopment at Hillbarn has drawn him out of his room, gives him a little focus and something new to show and share with us when we visit. The team should be praised for ensuring this small benefit to the residents has remained, rather than simply be filled in (as it could have been). We look forward to seeing further improvements at Hillbarn over time.

Reply from Isaac George, Referrals at Hill Barn Care Home'Thankyou for your kind review of Hill Barn. We are pleased that your father in law has settled in well and that you are happy with the level of care provided by Rachel and her staff. We are always upgrading the home, including the recently renovated pond, which we are happy has kept your father in law busy. I will pass on your praise to the Hill Barn team!

Overall Experience

My father moved to Church Farm Care Home in April & I have to say I am beyond amazed with this place in every way.

The leadership & single member of staff I have seen or spoken to have been professional, friendly, polite & absolutely fantastic with all of the residents and I cannot fault a single

one of them in the slightest.

The manager & deputy manager are very professional, approachable & so engaged and on hand and involved with the residents, staff and what is going on within the home also, nothing seems to be too much trouble for them & they will always make time to speak to you if you need to speak to them.

As someone with a very strong senior leadership background myself you can see quality leadership in others and in my opinion Church Farm are very lucky indeed to have their manager & leading the home which in turn gives me great reassurance that my father is in a very good place/environment and is receiving the very best care & support he can.

Reply from Ania George, Director at Church Farm Residential Care HomeThank you so much for your kind and thoughtful feedback. We are truly grateful for your words of appreciation. It means a great deal to the entire team to know that their dedication and hard work are recognised. We take great pride in creating a warm, supportive environment for both our residents and their families, and its incredibly rewarding to hear that this has been your experience. Your comments about our leadership team are especially appreciated, particularly coming from someone with a strong senior leadership background. We are indeed very fortunate to have such committed and compassionate individuals leading the home, and your reassurance about your father's care is exactly what we strive for every day.

My mother came to this home at the beginning of this year. I have found all the staff friendly, happy and caring. A couple definitely stand out. I have only seen improvements since my mum has resided there. The range of activities now provided is much better, and that person works very hard and is so

good with all of the residents. My mum has had a couple of falls whilst there, and I am happy with the care she received. It would be nice if they had a little less workload so they could chat with residents occasionally.

Its always encouraging to hear that our staffs efforts are making a difference well be sure to pass on your praise to the team, especially those who have stood out to you.Were also glad you've seen improvements in our activity offerings. Engaging residents meaningfully is a key priority for us, and its wonderful to know the hard work in that area is being noticed and appreciated.Regarding your mums falls, we understand how concerning that can be, and were pleased to hear that you were satisfied with the care she received. Your suggestion about giving staff more time to engage socially with residents is a valuable one.

It's was never going to be easy to find a place to look after your mum. Mum had full capacity of her brain yet the cancer was taking over.
My sister and me went to the home and were sat down and had the full history. The warmth and cooking was already inviting. Following a look around we decided on

bringing mum here asap. At this time we were unaware of mums time left but all we wanted was care and comfort for her.
The staff in the home like most are busy, the warmth and care given was lovely. Food was made to suit and nothing was ever an issue. We felt mums time here would suit all of us.
Unfortunately her health deteriorated rapidly and the team kept her in good faith until she had decided to go to sleep for the last time. A bright happy, warm, inviting place is what welcomes you. It's not easy to make these decisions, but we certainly feel this was a good place to care for our mum.

Reply from Ania George, Accounts at Old Vicarage Residential HomeThank you so much for your heartfelt review. Were truly sorry for your loss and deeply honoured that you chose our home to care for your mum during such a precious and difficult time.

Your kind words about our team and the environment are very much appreciated and will be shared with everyone involved in her care. Thank you again for your trust and for sharing your experience.

dark with light colours, and items have been muddled and given to the wrong residents. Having said that, I can understand how easily this can happen.
