Barnfield Care Home

Excellent! From my arrival, I was made to feel both welcome and safe. The staff have been wonderfully patient with me. I do wish to say how helpful they have been about me being 'ovo-lacto-vegertarian!' I am grateful to have somewhere safe to stay. A huge sincere thank you!

I am very well looked after. I like it here and wish to stay. My experience has been very good.

I like the care home. The staff are nice. They look after me.

I'm really impressed by the care that Dad is receiving at Barnfield. The staff are lovely, and clearly think a lot of him from their interactions with him that I've witnessed, and he likes them very much as well. I think they have all done a sterling job during which has been a very difficult time due to Covid. I've been really impressed by the cleanliness when I've visited, and feel confident in the care that he is receiving. Thank you all so much.

Such lovely caring staff, very attentive. My dad was so looked after the staff and have been so helpful. 10/10

Over the last five years, I have visited my mother. She enjoys her time out with family and friends for lunch and trips to garden centres etc. In the past years, it has been upsetting to witness her distress and upset in returning to the care home, which on occasion has resulted in a display of difficult behaviour. Although I live away, I do get regular visit/wellbeing updates. I have been pleasantly surprised on this visit of her happiness and willingness on her return from lunch. My main concern is the overall smell (urine), although I know difficult, please deal with this.

My sister has bee a resident at Barnfield Care Home for the last 3/4 years. Initially, I was not keen to have my sister there. However, earlier this year the service has seen an exceptional upturn in the service that is now provided and my sister appears happy and settled. Everyone who cares for her is kind and compassionate and eagre for her to be involved in different activities!

Some excellent staff who understand fully my brother's needs.

Brilliant care. Really looked after and well cared for.

We have found all the management and staff very approachable, supportive and dedicated. They have made my brother to feel very welcome and also supported. He settled into the home quickly. The room is clean, warm and the atmosphere in the home is positive and calm. His first month has been excellent and he has been made to feel a part of life in the home.

Placing our Dad at Barnfield has been the best thing we could, as daughters, do for him. He is looked after and happy in his surroundings. The staff are lovely. When activities are taking place they take photos for us so we can see and be assured Dad is still having some quality of life. We feel comfortable leaving our most treasured Dad in the care of the staff at Barnfield; knowing he will be looked after and safe. I cannot praise them enough. With our Dad, they have been excellent.

I was looking for somewhere for respite for my Mum and visited Barnfield Carehome. The atmosphere was very welcoming and the staff were obviously very caring. I decided that she would be happy there. She has been there a few weeks and has been treated with respect by the caring and helpful staff. There are a lot of activities organised for the residents who are encouraged to participate. There is a variety of food on offer and it is a lovely idea that there is a snack table for residents to help themselves. There are various different lounges and also a conservatory. There is a small garden which is well maintained and enjoyed by the residents. My Mum enjoyed being taken into the garden to get some fresh air. Thank you to all the staff for the care they give.

As my Mum has only been in the home for six months, my brother, sister and I have all agreed that her progress in her mental health is excellent. The staff, who mum relates to, have really helped her with her personal care and rebuilding her confidence.

Management and staff always seem available for both residents and visitors. The home seems to be well involved with the local community and arrange lots of days out and interactive activities. Everyone seems very friendly which projects a nice environment. The rooms and general decor would benefit from a refurb as they seem a little tired and dated. I also think that Barnfield Care Home would benefit from having its own kitchen to prepare meals.

I can not recommend this home highly enough , all the staff are amazing , the home is beautiful and clean and most of all feels like home from home for our Mom ,We found the staff very friendly and helpful , we always feel our mom is safe and sound when we have our badly needed rest.

After 7 years of caring for my mum at home, I was worried at my mum going into long term care. As it turns out the excellent staff at Barnfield made the transition easy, our family are stunned at the kindness, quality of care, cleanliness and genuine "being in your own home" atmosphere provided. From my initial "out of the blue" drop in to check out the place, the homely feeling of the place shone through and still continues. As well as excellent care being given to my mum staff go out of their way to address the feelings and needs of relatives too. To sum up if I were in need of care, this is where to come.
