Mum has been a resident at Bartletts for nearly 4 years now; in that time her Alzheimer's has slowly continued to eroded her memory, mobility and cognitive function but despite this she continues to be very happy there. The staff are very caring and encourage Mum to join in the many activities they
have each day. Eating has become a little challenging for her and so meals are adapted so that she can more easily pick food up with her fingers. When Mum first moved into Bartletts she loved to walk around outside in the beautiful grounds; a feature that is particularly outstanding at Bartletts. She is now wheelchair-bound and we are not sure how much she can see but she is appreciative of the kind, compassionate and loving care she receives every day. As a family, it gives us such peace of mind to know that Mum is being so well cared for; a cherished resident. I really wish that Mum wasn't having to go through this deterioration but she is in the best possible place for 24/7 quality care

My mother-in-law is very happy here. She has settled in well and has made many friends. She has enjoyed all of the activities and trips out, especially bowling, which she has never done in her life. The staff are all very caring and friendly, and it's nice to know she has nothing to worry about and
is taken very good care of. The food is always very good and the amenities are excellent.

Bartletts is a highly esteemed facility, maintained to the highest standards. Its serene environment is truly magnificent. The staff at every level are committed to delivering exceptional care and service. My mother has been a resident for nearly two years, and her physical and mental wellbeing has
notably improved due to their excellent care. The food provided is of outstanding restaurant quality which she very much enjoys. The activity coordinators excel in offering a diverse range of activities tailored to residents' abilities and organize remarkable excursions. It brings considerable peace of mind knowing that mum is in a safe, secure environment and is receiving attentive and compassionate care. The team at Bartletts is exceptionally accommodating and creates a warm and familial atmosphere. Bartletts is distinguished by its exceptional staff and dedicated service.

She enjoys excellent
care and attention and is clearly very happy. We couldn't ask for more.

Bartletts is truly a special place, where residents are treated with incredible care and dignity. The dedication of their team to meeting each residents needs is nothing short of inspiring.The team of carers and leadership at Bartletts are second to none, consistently striving to deliver the highest
level of care. The activities scheduled every day are phenomenal, offering stimulation and personalised attention that is beautiful to witness. Our mother has been at Bartletts for the past 8 months, and as a family who visits daily, we've had the privilege of seeing the team in action. We are also deeply appreciative of the care team's communication-prompt, thoughtful, and always with our mother's best interests at heart. The home itself is spotless and beautifully decorated, with stunningly maintained gardens that reflect the same high standards of care evident throughout. From the moment you walk through the doors, you can feel the unique and caring culture that defines Bartletts.

As a resident at Bartlett's for almost 3 years, mum has always received excellent care, even when her behaviour was difficult due to her advanced Alzheimer's. Everyone, no matter what their role, showed fantastic compassion and I couldn't have asked for better care for mum. They have also been extremely
supportive of my brother and I during what has been a difficult time for us all.

Lovely place but our mothers's stay didn't come without issue and the rising costs from £1.6k per week to £2k per week within 2 years was extortionate. It's bright, clean, boasts of it's 18 acres (most of which are not available to residents) and is beautiful. The staff are very loving and attentive,
and the best part. Some management and night staff less so. Lots of things to do for residents but weekends the place is not as stimulating. Communications were poor. Emails would not be responded to by senior carers, so we wouldn't know if it had been addressed and the Manager rarely replies to emails. Care plans were chased, personal hygiene was not taken care of well at times. Food was ok but fed too much sugar and cakes. She fell in their care and died 6 weeks later. We never heard from them after her death offering condolence/card/flowers until I complained. The AM she died I was pulled aside into a room and asked to give a review and if I could leave an excellent review to keep their numbers up -shocking! The manager hates criticism.

Bartlett's Residential Care Home is a wonderful, very well-appointed home of character set in glorious, well-maintained grounds with views to the Chiltern Hills.
My father used to visit a friend when she became a resident and he praised it endlessly, so when the time came for the move from his own
home, Bartlett's was the obvious place as it was "home from home".
Father has now been a resident for four years and continues to praise everyone and everything - empathy would seem to be second nature to all staff at Bartlett's, they have endless time for their residents and are very aware of and responsive to their ever-changing needs.
I benefit from the same empathy afforded to my father and am made to feel very much a part of the "Bartlett's family". I am always welcomed and included in any activity and kept informed of any issues with Father and also what he has taken part in and how he has enjoyed it.

My mother has been a resident for almost two years. Within a few weeks, she was loving her new home. Without exception, all the staff are kind and extremely efficient. Nothing is too much trouble. Mum loves the food, the trips out and the wonderful special events, which family and friends enjoy with
her. She has made friends with other residents. We all have nothing but praise for Bartlett's Residential Care Home, a wonderful place in a beautiful setting.

From the moment my mum arrived at Bartlett's she felt thoroughly at home and often said so. Over the last four and half years it is fair to say that being cared for at Bartlett's transformed her life in every respect. Who would have thought that she would go ice skating or have a penguin on her lap!

Apart from the beautiful surroundings inside and out Bartlett's really does provide a level of professional care which is second to none whether it is daily personal care, on-call medical care, activities to cater for all interests and abilities, trips to interesting venues and restaurant-quality catering.
What makes Bartlett's exceptional is the quality of care which all the staff provide and which we as a family experienced throughout Mum's stay there, especially when it came to end-of-life care. They are a truly kind and caring team who treat everyone with compassion, dignity and respect.
We could not have asked for more.

We as a family are extremely happy with the love and care our mum receives from the Bartlett's team. They always give 100% to whatever care they are giving. Food is amazing. Grounds are wonderful to go for a walk or to sit and relax. Every member of staff from carers, cleaners, gardeners to management
all have the resident's best interests at heart. Also my mother absolutely loves it at Bartlett's.

My mother has been a resident at Bartlett's for 14 years. She is now 101. Over all this time she has been very happy and extremely well cared for in every sense, and it is clear that the staff care for her emotionally as well as physically. As a family we always feel welcome and can raise any query
we may have, which is always taken seriously, no matter how minor it may be. The home operates to impeccable standards in every area, and seems in many ways more like a luxury hotel, with beautiful decor and lovely gardens.
I cannot speak too highly of Bartlett's, and since her arrival all those years ago, the family have had complete peace of mind, knowing that she is happy and receiving outstanding care - her age now is a testament to that!

Bartlett's Residential Care Home is exceptional! The care, consideration and kindness given to my brother was marvellous.
All the staff throughout his three year stay at Bartlett's Residential Care Home were so generous with their time.
As close members of his family we were always welcome and knowing
that my brother was in such safe hands was so comforting. We owe them a debt of gratitude.

Superb care, fantastic staff, excellent facility. I'm so glad we chose Bartletts. The staff are extremely well trained and professional. Always kind, friendly and approachable. They pay close attention to every resident's needs 24 hours a day and show empathy and respect. They are very good at communicating
with family, very accommodating and a delight to deal with. Doctors are available when needed and the heath of each resident is carefully monitored. The facility is tremendous: Everything is modern, clean and in perfect working order. Dad was very comfortable. The meals are excellent and tea/coffee/juice/snacks are always available. The building is filled with natural light and is warm and spacious. The entertainment, activities and companionship are good. The common areas are cheerful and calm. The residents are encouraged to join a warm and friendly community and are free explore. The rooms are comfortable and well designed. The grounds are beautiful. Thank you for all you have done for my father.

In the three years, my father spent at Bartlett's, the care he received was nothing short of incredible.
I don’t think I can overstate the impact it has knowing that there is such a dedicated and caring team of people on hand to look after a loved one, indeed “team” seems like the wrong word to use
because the atmosphere they create and the care they give is more like that of a family. I am left with a profound sense of gratitude and respect for everybody there.

My father went to Bartlett's Residential Care Home when his dementia made things difficult for him to be cared for at home. In the three years he was there, the care he received was quite exemplary and I don’t think he could have stayed in a better place where everybody cared for him as much as the
team at Bartlett’s did.
The tenderness and love they showed him was genuine and I cannot sing the praises of the whole team there enough.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.941)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.941) out of 10 for Bartlett's Residential Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.941 for Bartlett's Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (230 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 239 Ratings = 4.941

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bartlett's Residential Care Home is based on 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4, which has been reached with 20 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
