Overall Experience

As a friend of one of the residents at Barton Brooke Care Home, I've had the pleasure of visiting regularly-and I can honestly say it's a truly special place. The home has a lovely, welcoming atmosphere and offers an impressive range of activities that bring joy and stimulation to the residents' day-to-day

lives.

One of the standout features is the on-site café, which feels just like a high-street café you'd visit outside-it's a fantastic touch that brings a real sense of normality and comfort. The carers are not only incredibly attentive but also genuinely involved. They don't just provide care; they participate in activities and really connect with the residents, treating them with dignity, warmth, and respect.

It's clear that Barton Brooke isn't just a care home-it's a true home from home. The dedication and kindness of the staff shine through in every visit, and it gives me great peace of mind to know my friend is in such good hands.

Reply from Alison Foreman, Commercial Director at Barton Brook Care Home

Overall Experience

We were so pleased to have used Mohogany Care Home. They quickly accommodated my Mother-in law. She was very happy and settled in well even though she was bedridden. Staff had listened carefully to her stories and could name her frequent visitors. We wanted to spend as much time as possible with her

and visited anytime. We were offered drinks and food. Staff regularly checked on her and made her as comfortable as possible.When were weren't there we got important phone calls about her health.

Overall Experience

My dad only spent a couple of weeks at Mahogany due to being end of life. During his short stay, he was treated with dignity and respect. There was always a warm welcome when entering Mahogany and all staff were pleasant and extremely helpful. The nursing care was very good and the nurses showed compassion

and made time to speak to us when we had any questions or concerns.

Reply from Davey Taverner, Digital Marketing Manager at Mahogany Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to review Mahogany so highly. We appreciate your feedback and are thrilled you have had a good experience with us. We are pleased that we could meet your expectations in the care of your father in his last days. Thank you again for the review, have a lovely day.

Overall Experience

My dad arrived at this place on August 29th 2024. In the short time he was there he had 11 falls, pushed to the ground twice with injuries, lost 1/2 stone in weight, he was a very slim man. Went missing twice, staff unaware of his whereabouts, sat with a blanket over him with vomit and no socks on,

he was freezing. Cup of tea in his room green moldy. Caught an infection, his bed was broken, my husband had to fix it. Caught another infection which lead to Sepsis. He was rushed to hospital where he stayed one week later, we were told he is now on End of Life care. Me and my husband called to this place to complain to the manager. Her response, half of these incidents were not brought to her attention. Well you all should be ashamed and embarrassed that this has happened under your watch. After being closed down once and investigated by a consumer investigating programme this needs checking again. CQC report Care, Needs improvements. Safety, Needs improvement. My dad passed away on 13th December 2024.

Overall Experience

My grandma has been a resident of Mahogany since September 2024. She has vascular dementia and Alzheimers and had suffered a bad fall when she was at home which led to her having a hip replacement. Since going into mahogany my grandma has improved rapidly she looks so much healthier happier and content.

Her mobility has really improved compared to when she was at home she could hardly walk now she is walking with her walking aid all the time and is able to take small steps unaided. I cannot praise the staff enough as each and every one of them are lovely very friendly and caring and it's plain to see they have the resident's best interest at heart. Every member of staff from the kitchen cleaners to the activity co-ordinator are brilliant with my grandma and goes above and beyond to support her and meet her needs. The manager is lovely she works closely with the family to ensure that the residents and family have their needs met and are happy.

Overall Experience

My mum has Alzheimer's and vascular dementia and has been a resident at Mahogany since September 2024. The difference in her health and mobility has improved amazingly. She's happy and chatty and gets along with the other residents and staff. The staff are outstanding, so polite and friendly and so

good with the residents this includes kitchen cleaners and co-ordinator staff. My mum always seems to be having a laugh with one of them. The manager is a lovely lady very approachable any issues are dealt with immediately. I have nothing but praise for each and every one of them and can't thank them enough for the support and care my mum receives I sleep so much better at night knowing she is in good hands.

The staff have been extremely helpful and supportive at a difficult time for the family and work tirelessly to make sure families are kept up to date with any changes that occur. The garden cafe area is a lovely place to sit and chat when the unit is busy, there is nothing which is too much trouble

for the team working with families. A huge thank you to everyone at Barton Brook Care Home, from management, carers, entertainment, office, maintenance, laundry, cleaners and kitchen, you are all amazing.

When I first arrived on Irwell, the manager was so nice to me and bent over backwards to help me out for all my needs. She gave me an excellent room with patio doors and patio. She got me sculptures of cats and chickens. She really helped me out. Not only that, she works really hard to make Irwell a

happy environment. All the staff on Irwell are really nice, decent and will help you out with anything you need. Irwell is the best unit by far. It has the best manager and staff by far. I feel lucky to be on this unit. All the staff are fantastic and wonderful and that's a fact.

My mother was a resident on Irwell House and whilst visiting, I have made friends with staff and residents and always been made very welcome. Since my mother has passed away, I have continued to visit Irwell House and kept in contact with the friends I have made there. Whilst visiting, I have seen various

activities going on and I offer a helping hand. I find the unit very clean and smelling good. Since the reintroduction of unit managers, the unit has improved.

Overall Experience

Upon arrival, we were made to feel very welcome, staff came to introduce themselves which was lovely, the manager displays and encourages an open door policy, very approachable. Residents' well-being is a top priority, customer-centric for relatives and understand how difficult a decision has been for

me to make. Overall, positive vibes I got after visiting resulted in this home being chosen. Knowing I can easily approach staff gives me a great degree of comfort. Daily choice of meals has been good, staff are very approachable, nothing is too much trouble.
Initial areas requiring improvement relate to TV programmes shown in the lounge, needs to cater for all residents and have music playing regularly, currently same programmes being shown which are not to all residents, needs better management to improve. Overall for all cleanliness of flooring, needs urgent improvement both in communal/residents' rooms.
