My husband was only in Barton Lodge for 6weeks, he passed away in May 2017.

Review from F B (Friend of Resident) published on 5 June 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Management and staff are courteous and kind. My friend is always in fresh clothes, showered and looks well cared for.
The food is good and presented in an appetising way in a sunny dining room, with fresh flowers on all the tables.
Most of all, there is a tranquil, friendly atmosphere throughout
the home, which we think comes from the approach and attitude of management.
My friend says 'the nurses and carers are always lovely and very kind to me.'

My sister was in Barton Lodge for a short while but when she was there, she was provided with excellent care and attention. The staff were very attentive and kind to her. Barton Lodge is very well run and spotless. I would not hesitate to recommend this care home to my friends and family.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Barton Lodge looked after my mother during her final weeks. They were truly outstanding in their level of care, the compassion they showed and the service they provided. The level of communication was excellent and I was encouraged to call as often as I liked.
I was always kept informed about mum and
her condition. They also took the time to care about me and my own health issues. Thank you for doing something I would have struggled to do.

Review from Annette R (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 October 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When my mum came here two years ago she settled in very well. They catered for her dietary needs which is gluten free. The staff gave my mum a lot of care and support and treated her with great dignity. My mum has advanced dementia and her speech was next to none, but the staff were very patient with
her and listened to her needs.
Sadly, mums needs have gone to the next level and she is leaving to move to intense care. Mum has enjoyed her time here, it is such a nice, light, airy place with lovely gardens to walk in and the lounge facilities are open and spacious. The staff are very caring.

I'm comfortable here and I can be myself. I like the food in comparison to the other homes I have stayed. I enjoy my own company in my room which is very nice and I have everything I need.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.937)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.937) out of 10 for Barton Lodge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.937 for Barton Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (194 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 207 Ratings = 4.937
  2. 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 Barton Lodge Care Home is based on 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9, which has been reached with 18 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
