They were always very helpful and caring. We moved mum to another home near family and friends - we never had a problem with any aspect of the care received.
Thank you, we appreciate your kind feedback and wish your Mum well in her new setting.

My mother enjoyed the food offered to her in a clean and comfortable environment and it was reassuring to see her so happy for the final few months of her life
Thank you for your kind comment, the whole team is glad were able to bring joy to your Mother. God bless!

Bruce has settled into Barton Court much better than the family thought. He has a lovely room which overlooks the front drive. Unfortunately he has had a few falls over the last few months. All the staff work so hard to make sure he's as comfortable as he can be and check him regularly Debbie has been really good, and Bruce really trusts her so I know when she is on duty that he will do as he's told. All the girls are so friendly & always smiling Charlene runs a very happy clean caring home which is a credit to her.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. It really means a lot to us to hear that Bruce has settled into Barton Court so well and that he is happy in his lovely room overlooking the drive.We're so pleased that he has built such a trusting relationship with Debbie - it's wonderful to hear how much he trusts and responds to her.
Your kind words about the whole team are incredibly appreciated. We're very proud of our friendly, caring staff and the happy home they work so hard to create every day.
Thank you again for your lovely comments and for recognising the care and dedication of the team.

My partner is in Barton Court, she is suffering from Dementure and otherwise is in good health, Since becoming a resident Deb's has put on a few pounds and generally looks better. I go to visit as and when I can and I am always made welcome, an offer of tea and biscuits most welcome. There is plenty of staff to ask if I have any questions, I am impressed with the security and this is not overbearing, If the staff wish to speak to me they pull me aside so that it dosent upset any of the residents. I have seen the food menu and this is better than most, a wide selection of food and there is a good selection of tea, coffee or fruit juice, this is dispenced by a cheerful member of staff. I noticed that the residence seem to be encouraged to wander arround the complex, this gives a degree of friendship and the staff are on first name terms with everybody, this is excellent for a care home as most do not have anyone else in their last days.
Thank you for your kind comments, the staff really appreciate this feedback. We agree that the kitchen team also does a great job, especially during the recent heat waves. We try to make the residents feel part of a family, Barton Court is their home and we respect that.

Our mother, who suffers from dementia, was moved to Barton Court by Social Services in December 2024 following a hospital stay. From the start my sister and were very pleased with the care and support given to her and us and so when she became self funding we elected to keep her there. The staff are exceptional-always happy and kind and trying their best to make residents comfortable, safe and as contented as their various needs make it possible. She had her own personalised space with her own things and furniture. There are regular activities at the home to involve and entertain the residents from which Mum benefitted. Whenever we visited or phoned any member of staff we spoke to knew how our mother was feeling and how she had been since the last time. They worked with us regarding Mum's increasing medical needs, liaising jointly with us and various health professionals and respected our views. We were sad to have to move Mum when her dementia and health needs increased such that she required 1-1 support and nursing ca.
Thank you for your support for the staff and the home. We work hard to meet every resident's needs, but sometimes a different setting may be safer for the resident, and safety is a key priority. It was a pleasure looking after your mother!

The accommodation is always spotlessly clean and the décor is bright, airy and cheerful - beautifully decorated with plenty of photos and examples of residents' art of craft work. Mum liked the food and the menus looked great.
Residents were gently encouraged to take part in any of a full and varied programme of activities - yet another side of Barton Court which is really impressive and reassuring.
The staff are extremely competent and hard working. They treated Mum with so much respect and kindness - it made a huge difference to her and to us. They were also very vigilant. On any occasion when she needed extra medical attention it was picked up and actioned extremely promptly.
We were always made most welcome, when visiting and kept fully informed at all times. We could not possibly have asked for better residential care for Mum. A huge "Thank you" to all the staff.

Thank you once again for your trust and recommendation. It was a privilege to care for your mum and support your family.
Visiting Barton Court recently to visit a resident was a very pleasant experience. It was, as usual, clean and bright with happy (but not intrusive) music playing. The tea trolley came round with drinks and biscuits for everyone. The staff were, as usual, friendly and helpful.

The care home was local and staffed by a wonderful and consistent team of carers under the supervision of a very capable management team.
All staff were approachable, helpful, considerate and competent. All issues, however minor, were addressed in a timely and satisfactory manner.
Good systems and procedures were evident, particularly during COVID and other infectious outbreaks.
Mum was well looked after in terms of care; moreover, there were well organised events both in and outside of the home with numerous trips out.
The home was regularly and thoroughly cleaned which was evident on all family visits.
The food and general hygiene was very good.
All in all, we were very pleased with Mums stay at Barton Court, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the home to any elderly and frail person with dementia.
A big thank you to all the staff.

I feel my Mum has been well looked after, ever since she has been in the home, I feel she is safe and happy. The staff are very approachable, and friendly. Also, I feel I can visit my Mom whenever I feel I need and want to see her. I am so pleased we were able to get her in Barton Court, as a family we could not give her the care and attention she needs. We hated to have her away from us, but they have helped ease the pain with their support and care.
Thank you for your kind words, it's such a pleasure to have your Mum here with us.

I came to Barton Court in May this year just to see what it was like. I have now decided to stay for good. I have found the place is cleaned every day and is always bright and has plenty of fresh air. The carers and all staff are very friendly and helpful... could not do enough for you. They give you plenty of varied meals, and if you wanted more, you only have to ask. There are three gardens to sit in, one with exercise machines. The doctor comes once a week if you need to see him. Also, the hairdresser and chiropodist. The entertainment - there is something going on every day if you want to join in. Also, outings in the minibus and two or three barbecues, weather permitting. Entertainers come to the home. I think I have found the best care home.
Thank you for your review and kind words; it's a pleasure to have you here with us. We are very glad you decided to stay and are enjoying yourself at Barton Court.

In my experience, all staff, without exception, are resident focused and will spend whatever time is needed to ensure residents are safe and content.
The surroundings are very light, spacious and airy with outdoor areas available in the warm dry weather. There is also a varied variety of activities available for anyone who wishes to take part including trips out. The menu on offer is always varied.
My dad's occasional medical needs are always attended to by visiting Healthcare professionals along with a visiting hairdresser and podiatrist.
Since moving here from another care home my dad has made great progress due to all the reasons I've mentioned.
If you are looking for a fantastic care home then you really should give Barton Court serious consideration.
Thank you for your kind words, it's a pleasure to have your dad here with us. Thank you for your praise of our team, we are very proud of all our staff and the amazing work they do every day.
My mother stayed here for three weeks respite care following a recent fall. Both her and the family found all the staff delightful, cheerful and very helpful. The food was great as were the activities. We would recommend this home.
