A very warm and friendly place, my partner and I were made very welcome on arrival (dinner and drinks all round). Thank you. My partner has various issues, but all are met admirably. All management & staff are very approachable & keep me informed on any concerns. The home is spotlessly clean & the food
excellent all freshly cooked. Activities are good. On visits I am made very welcome and go home knowing my partner is getting the best care possible
Thank you all.

The care home, albeit a bit dated eg no en-suite facilities, is homely and comfortable. The staff are friendly, caring and professional, providing a first class service to residents and relatives. Ad hoc activities are enjoyed by the residents and relatives are always invited/included if present. Food
is always home-made and varied. Residents independence is always respected, as is their privacy and dignity. My father is well cared for by all.

Thank you so much for such a lovely review! We have loved getting to know dad since he joined us at Barnby Court, he is such a kind, caring gentleman and it truly is a pleasure to know and care for him. Dad brings joy to everyone in his company and always keeps us laughing with his quick wit and humour. Thank you again for your lovely words and taking the time to write a review, I will pass your kind words onto the team.

My mums has been a resident since last June 2024.
She initially went in for rest bite but due to her decline in health I decided she needed more permanent care. It was such a relief knowing my mum is looked after so well, the care team at Barnby Moor are so lovely and they look after there residents
with compassion and empathy.
My Mum is happy and content living at the care home and I would not hesitate in choosing this care home in the future.

Thank you for your kind words I will pass your comments onto the staff, they love to get feedback of this quality. Mum has a special place in our hearts. She is so grateful for everything that we do, which we find very humbling. Mum loves a good chat with a cuppa and a biscuit. You being such a great support to your mum with visiting and taking mum out for meals, means that she knows that we all take part in her care and want the very best for such a lovely kind lady. Mum has made friends at Barnby with others and really does enjoy their company. Thank you for taking the time to show your support for Barnby Court.

My aunt has been a resident for over two years and the care and attention she is given by all staff is amazing. My aunt doesnt like to join in with others very often, but all the staff take time to spend with her and encourage her to take part in all activities and events. Such a lovely warm and homely
atmosphere here and I know my aunt is very happy.
Reply from Margaret Greaves, Registered Manager at Barnby Court Care Home

I think I speak for everyone when I say it is a joy to look after your Aunt. Your aunt is great fun keeps us on our toes and we respect her decisions re not wanting to join in with activities most of the time, but when she does she has great fun and really enjoys her time. Your aunt knows us all and we each have our own special bond with her. Great lady, makes us smile at every day without fail. Thank you for taking the time to review out little home we really do appreciate this, and as always I will pass your lovely comments onto the staff.

Farthings Residential Care Home

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am very happy with the care that Mum is getting at Farthings - as is she! My brothers and I had heard good word-of-mouth reports of the home when she initially needed short-term respite care and count ourselves very fortunate that she has been able to continue with longer-term care as needed. The
carers are great and so supportive and friendly. The manager and deputy manager have always been responsive whenever I've been in touch about anything. Mum's room really feels like home with her favourite pictures up and some key bits of furniture and it's great to visit her there. The activities programme is varied and well thought out and the parties are really fun too!
Reply from Lynne Fardell-Wain, Registered Manager at Farthings Residential Care Home

Thank you so much for your lovely words we love caring for your mum and we learn something from her every day! We look forward to many more years with her and enjoying your family visits too. Many thanks again.

Farthings Residential Care Home

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Farthings is a lovely residential care home and my mum has settled in there well. She's been there for two years. Her room is adequate for her current needs and is kept clean and tidy. The building is a converted farmhouse and retains many of its original characters. This helps create a homely feel
as opposed to purpose-built facilities. However, it creates some issues in terms of lack of storage space etc.
The care staff are amazing which is reflected in her care. They treat my mum with kindness and dignity. Any issues raised with care staff are dealt with promptly and effectively within their remit. Management staff sometimes be unavailable in person, but emails and other messaging are generally dealt with in a reasonable amount of time. Records could be improved and care plans are often not completed on time but reflect my mum's needs.
Food and drink are ample and good variety available for residents. All of which is prepared and cooked on site.
I would recommend this care home.
Reply from Lynne Fardell-Wain, Registered Manager at Farthings Residential Care Home

Thank you so much for your review it's great to hear you feel Mum is well cared for I agree the care staff are amazing!

She is a true pleasure to have with us.

A caring environment for my mum. It's getting harder to have an idea of some things such as facilities and activities. As my mum's dementia worsens, she cannot remember if she has participated in activities even if I ask her about displays of work on the wall. Nowadays Mum can be agitated and grumpy
at times. It is good to know that the staff are aware that behind these moods caused by dementia that there is a nice lady.
Reply from Lynne Fardell-Wain, Registered Manager at Farthings Residential Care Home

Thanks for your lovely words, we think the world of Mum and love having her with and she makes a wonderful contribution to the wall displays, a top crafter and creator! Dementia is a cruel disease but we are proud to be able to support Mum through her difficult times here at Farthings.

My 84-year-old mum has been a resident at Farthings for 20 months. She has settled well and seems to enjoy living there. The staff are very friendly, supportive and helpful. The home feels very homely, like home from home. Mum's room is in adequate for her needs, we did have an issue with boxes of pads
being stored in there, mentioned this to Management and it was eventually sorted. Not keen on the ramp at the front of the building, it feels quite steep when trying to get Mum in and out of the building, but I understand that this is being replaced. Various activities take place during the week and we did have a trip to the theatre earlier this year which Mum enjoyed. The home is in a very peaceful village.
Reply from Lynne Fardell-Wain, Registered Manager at Farthings Residential Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to send your review and such lovely words, we enjoy caring for your mum and she certainly keeps us smiling! You're right the ramp at the front is being updated and we look forward to that improvement soon.

Caring and compassionate staff who work hard to ensure the dignity of their guests. This relates to all members of the team cleaners, hairdressers, activity manager, cooks, carers etc. All this makes for a family environment which is respectful of the range of challenges the mixed guest group presents
with. Visitors are made to feel welcome and included.

Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Sadly not a positive experience and a total lack of care for my mum who stayed at Barnby Court Care Home for respite care.
Staff ignored the buzzer and kept her waiting for an hour and half before she could use the toilet. She could not go to the bathroom herself because she felt dizzy and needed help.
On her first day, they did not give or offer mum any breakfast at all. She had a drink of orange juice and that was it until lunchtime. When she wanted to go to the toilet there was no toilet paper and the toilet was filthy.
When mum was downstairs the care assistant told mum she had to walk up the stairs herself. She cannot climb stairs as she has had 2 knee replacements and also is out of breath because of her heart condition and it would have been totally unsafe for her to even try. They left her sitting in a chair downstairs until after 11 pm that night. She was absolutely exhausted and feeling very unwell. She had just come out of hospital.
