Over all time Barrowhill Hall Residential and Nursing Home has 89 reviews.
At age 98, blind and recovering from a hip operation, she receives a high level of nursing/care and this is met by experienced staff with a caring attitude.
Special mention should be made of the choice and high standard of the food.
Her anxiety has reduced and looks very much at home, 24hr care by caring positive people around her has helped enormously. Bright, airy surroundings in comfy clean and environment. There are lots of activities to keep residents amused. All in all a lovely place for her to live.
In the two years that my mum has been a resident at Barrowhill Hall, she has continued to thrive. I have been impressed by the level of care, in particular, the way my mum is treated as a person despite having dementia. The term 'carer' most definitely applies to the staff who really do care. Mum was taken to Blackpool last September on an overnight trip with a number of other residents, which is something she loved and will never forget.
The atmosphere has always been most welcoming, open and hospitable despite the severe difficulties presented to them by my mother.
Other positives include the cleanliness, sensitivity to residents' needs and most importantly the amazing sense of humour displayed by the staff.
My brother and I were impressed when we first walked into the home.
We have not been disappointed.
Mum is treated with care and respect. Conditions are good and she's well looked after. We appreciate the hard work the staff do to make Mum comfortable.
Excellent care home, very conscientious and caring towards residents. Very safe environment.
She has only been there a month and she has settled better than we thought.
She has been in another dementia home but never settled.
It just proves with the right managing of her condition how different she is.
My father was a resident of the Churnet Lodge for just over a year until he passed away January 2018, I have to say the care he received was first class, the staff were very caring especially so in his final days, they really did everything they could to make my father's final days as comfortable as possible, showing the most dedicated care. He was happy there as the staff looked after him so well. And he came to accept this was his home. It took him a while to settle in but this was the dementia, not my dad. Thanking every one of the staff there that looked after him so well.
My husband is in Churnet Lodge, the residential part of Barrowhill Hall. The care he has received there is excellent. I could not ask for better. The staff are so friendly and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. I spent part of Christmas day with my dear husband and the lunch provided was so much like my cooking it was just wonderful. This care home must really be rated as excellent.
My father-in-law did 2 weeks respite at Churnet Lodge. We thoroughly enjoyed his time there and the company of the other residents. The facilities are very modern and easy for those with dementia to find their way around.
After 7 weeks lying in a hospital bed refusing food, fluids and medication mum was sent to the above home for palliative care with very little hope of ever getting out of bed again. Within 2 weeks of being in the home, she was eating, drinking and up and dressed. This wonderful place and all of its fabulous staff have given me back my mum. Thank you!
All staff are caring, friendly and respectful to residents. Whenever I go to visit I am always made to feel welcome. The residents are all treated according to individual needs. Improvements are continually being made wherever possible. I have quite often been there at lunchtime and the food is very good. Freshly prepared, nutritious and enjoyable. There is a good activities team in place which keeps the residents stimulated. Overall the home is kept to a high standard, very clean and tidy.
It would be good if they had a published list of room rates for the various categories of aspect and level of care needed.
However, staff have taken an interest in my father. they seem educated (which leads me to believe they are valued by management) and compassionate. Dad has settled well and they allow him to be himself. They try and cater for individual needs, making residents feel significant. Any concerns I have had have been immediately addressed.
The staff are very friendly and kind and the rooms are extremely comfortable, however, on three occasions, there was a problem with other residents entering my mother's room causing a little concern, especially at night. This issue has now been resolved and she locks her door if she wants to be alone. I realise it is difficult as other residents may be confused.
My mother is very happy at Barrowhill. She says the staff are wonderful. They always treat her with care and respect. Her room is comfortable and she enjoys the convenience of the en-suite wet room. The food is excellent. My mother particularly enjoys the various activities which are extensive and very well organised.
From day one, they showed consideration, knowledge and experience and supported us in the transition. The staff have a deep understanding of his individual needs and are constantly working with him to achieve these aims.
We are always made to feel welcome whatever time we visit and it is reassuring for us to know he is so well cared for and we no longer have to worry about him.
She never asks to go back home and always has a smiley happy face.
All staff at Barrowhill Hall Residential and Nursing Home care very deeply about the residents. They also care for me and my family when we visit. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they try to make the residents as happy and contented as possible.
My husband has been helped to settle in and seems content to be there.

Kim is the office manager at the home.
“It's hard to describe a typical day at Barrowhill for me as every single day is different, you have to react to what is going on. But generally, I attend the morning meeting with all the heads of department, produce daily reports to Head Office and it’s my job to do the induction training for new staff.
“My favourite part of Barrowhill has to be the views. They really are spectacular, especially the walk down to Churnet Lodge from the main building. The view simply takes your breath away, it has to be seen to be believed!
“I hope that when families visit their loved ones they leave Barrowhill knowing that their relatives are being well cared for and they are happy and safe.
“I’ve worked here for just over 6 months now. Before that, I worked at Aggregate industries for more than 38 years.
After I took redundancy I realised I needed a change and I felt it would be nice to work in a different field and the people here make it a much more interesting place to work.
“Outside of work I love Football, I love going to watch Derby County FC and I'm the secretary of Mayfield FC!
“I’m from Mayfield where I still live with my husband. We’re lucky as all of our close family live nearby. Perhaps it’s because I come from Derbyshire and not Staffordshire that I don't like oatcakes!”
