Barley Manor Care Home

from Alistair S (Brother of Resident) published on 28 April 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My brother has been in the home since May 2025 and the care I have witnessed has been heartwarming. The staff create an enviroment like a family home with lots of love and involvement in quality of life. There are many activities for residence and, for those that cannot partake in them, someone to hold
their hand and talk to them.
Reply from Narcis Militaru, Home Manager at Barley Manor Care HomeThank you for your heartwarming feedback. It is a pleasure and an honour to have your brother with us.

We have used Barley Manor when care required for Mum during 2024/25 and 26, plus 2 weeks respite for my late Dad in 2025. The welcoming, kind and caring nature of staff, along with lovely environment, fantastic meals, companionship and varied activities have made their stays relaxing and enjoyable.
Nothing is too much trouble. I highly recommend Barley Manor.

My Mum came to Barley Manor for respite care following a hip replacement. From the administration, catering team, through to the carers, the staff were always friendly, caring and helpful. Charli the floor manager was super helpful on Mum's transition back to her own home ensuring, she had the required
supply of medication and re-registered her back to her own GP surgery. As family we were grateful for their care of Mum

My dad had 2 weeks respite care and was very happy and content. The staff were all so kind, always smiling and taking great care of the residents. He really enjoyed all the meals and ate well despite his dementia. We tried the meals and the cakes in the cafe, it was all very tasty. We were relieved
that he was kept mobile and he participated in crafts and puzzles. Thank you for all your great care and kindness.

Barley Manor Care Home

from Guy M (Son of Resident) published on 24 February 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father was in barley manor from early December 25 to 18th February 26
Our family were very happy with care home in most aspects the staff were very helpful, kind and considerate for Dad who'd just had a mini stroke! Dad enjoyed the food and some of the activities (he only did a few)
He was a bit
disgruntled due to all the nice food he could see being given to other residents & would have liked that too, but with his level of diet he wasn't allowed it. & he do missed having fish & chips !!
Our only criticism ( & only in the early days) was lack of notification of dads medical needs, symptoms or what he was having to do, I think Christmas got in the way a bit too, so no one's fault really. Overall it was a 10 out of 10 - again only because we had never had to do anything like the - at first the price came as a bit of a shock, but again we learned that was the norm!
Now dad has moved out to he back home - we'll always bear in mind if things worsen again, he'd wouldn't mind returning
Reply from Narcis Militaru, Home Manager at Barley Manor Care HomeThank you for your kind feedback. I am glad to hear we were able to address your initial concerns and that your dad enjoyed his time with us. Please do feel free to pop in for coffee and a catch up soon!

Barley Manor Care Home

from Diane M (Wife of Resident) published on 28 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband spent three comfortable and safe weeks having respite care at Barley Manor in late September and through October, and we both send huge thanks to all the staff for their care and attention. It is always difficult choosing a Care Home, and our choice was guided by location, and by personal
visits. Barley Manor has only been open for one year and so there were only a few reviews or personal recommendations. The Care Home is beautifully appointed and from the moment of entering, there is a huge welcome. The decor is lovely, the staff so friendly and caring and the food is quite excellent. . The cafe on the ground floor is a hub for everyone to gather and socialise - and enjoy too many delicious freshly baked cakes and pastries! Visitors likened it to a 5* hotel.
I had the reassurance that my husband was being very professionally and well looked after while I was away.
We would recommend Barley Manor to all and everyone without hesitation, and wish it a continued success.
Reply from Narcis Militaru, Home Manager at Barley Manor Care HomeThank you so much for your kind words. We are thrilled to hear that your husband enjoyed his stay with us and I look forward to passing on your feedback to our team.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Dad moved into Barley Manor three weeks ago and has settled well. The care home has a warm, friendly atmosphere and my Dad and us, as a family, have been made to feel welcome.
The admission process was informative, clear and above all empathetic and thoughtful. The client services manager listened
to my Dad's needs and then sensitively helped choose a suitable room for him. This person thought about Dad as an individual, not just someone to fill a room, she showed compassion and attention to detail.
The staff want my Dad to be happy, which is exemplified by the activity ladies who make a point of checking in with Dad and to our delight have got him attending events they put on, eg quiz. They listen to Dad, tune into his conversations and try to accommodate his interests.
The care team seems patient, calm, and responsive. Dad has had a few moments when he has felt anxious, but this is always quickly rectified, which is reassuring.
I would recommend Barley Manor wholeheartedly
Reply from Cristian Grozav, Home Manager at Barley Manor Care HomeThank you for providing such a shining review of our home. I will be sure to share your feedback with our team, who will be thrilled to hear they have had such a positive impact on you and your dad's life.

Barley Manor is an excellent nursing home. From the emergency reception in January of my cousin with dementia to the present day the care, understanding and sympathy of all the staff has been exceptional. The design and furnishing of the whole home and gardens is aimed at comfort and stimulation. The
activities provided for residents presses the right buttons of memories and involvement. The integration of local surgery and nursing home care is exemplary. My cousin has found the comfort and care she needs. Well done, Barley Manor.

I had been struggling to care for my husband's deteriorating Alzheimer's and really needed a break. I was so lucky to find Barley Manor, brand new with wonderful facilities so close to home. All the staff were welcoming, helpful and so empathetic. I was anxious about how he would settle in, and it took
a few days, but thanks to the kind and supportive staff he eas happy there and even joined in the activities.
Thank you so much.

After I had been in hospital, my daughter and I looked at my having a period of rest and recuperation In a care home. We planned to visit Barley Manor.. Before this happened I had a fall and we decided to ask for a quick admission. The manager himself came to set up the move and to answer all our questions.
The move took place two days later and it was as easy as checking into an hotel. My ground floor single room with en-suite overlooked a peaceful garden area and it was of a good size. The building itself was very well provided with public rooms including lounges, dining room, hairdresser, cafe, cinema and gym. The food was of good quality especially the cakes and desserts and i could have had any of the meals as room service.
It's all about the quality of the staff. They were all friendly and very well trained for their roles and were responsive to any concerns. Nothing was too much trouble. The management is to be congratulated.
This sets the gold standard for carehomes.

After an extremely stressful past two months with the decline of my mother's Alzheimer's, it became apparent to myself and brothers that she would need to have 24-hour care. We searched around the area and viewed a few places and our last visit was to Barley Manor Care Home.
When we arrived, we had
a lovely, warm greeting from the client services manager, she showed us around, spoke to us of her own experiences with her own mother, which was very personal and open. We had a long discussion with her, which made our choice a whole lot easier.
My mother was discharged from hospital straight to Barley Manor, the transition was seamless, the staff were very welcoming and put her at ease.
She was adamant she didn't want to stay but with their attention to detail and the way the staff have listened to her needs, she is now settling in very well and even taking part in activities which is a joy to see for us all.
Her care has been exemplary. A great place for our mother to be.
