The care home, albeit a bit dated eg no en-suite facilities, is homely and comfortable. The staff are friendly, caring and professional, providing a first class service to residents and relatives. Ad hoc activities are enjoyed by the residents and relatives are always invited/included if present. Food is always home-made and varied. Residents independence is always respected, as is their privacy and dignity. My father is well cared for by all.

She is so grateful for everything that we do, which we find very humbling. Mum loves a good chat with a cuppa and a biscuit. You being such a great support to your mum with visiting and taking mum out for meals, means that she knows that we all take part in her care and want the very best for such a lovely kind lady. Mum has made friends at Barnby with others and really does enjoy their company. Thank you for taking the time to show your support for Barnby Court.

Staff ignored the buzzer and kept her waiting for an hour and half before she could use the toilet. She could not go to the bathroom herself because she felt dizzy and needed...
When mum was downstairs the care assistant told mum she had to walk up the stairs herself. She cannot climb stairs as she has had 2 knee replacements and also is out of breath because of her heart condition and it would have been totally unsafe for her to even try. They left her sitting in a chair downstairs until after 11 pm that night. She was absolutely exhausted and feeling very unwell. She had just come out of hospital.

I’m a Director at Ashall Care Ltd, and Farthings has been part of my family’s heart and lives for over 30 years. I have spent over 12 years working in various roles for the NHS, this gave me a great foundation of how care organisations should operate and how to set, achieve and maintain high standards of care.
Barnby Court enhanced the company portfolio in February 2023, and it has been a pleasure to see the home and team embrace our company values. We are working hard to improve the environment piece by piece while maintaining our beautiful building's history and presence within the village, and it has been an absolute pleasure seeing the home grow, evolve and move forward over this time.
Every time I’m at Barnby Court, I can see for myself the care and relationships built between the team and our residents. It is truly heart-warming to know that the residents are happy and well looked after, as part of the Ashall Care family, and that the staff team are happy in their work.

I’ve worked in care homes for over 28 years now, qualified with Level 2 and 3 in Health & Social Care, Level 5 Management of Adult Residential Health & Social Care Settings and a Level 7 CMI Strategic Management qualification. I followed my mum into the job by volunteering at our local care home where she worked; she had also followed her mum into care, as my nana was the Matron of a council care home for 20 years.Everything I do makes me happy in my role, but nothing more so than seeing our residents smile and knowing the staff feel supported and also enjoy their jobs, as it can be long and at times difficult hours in care work.
Over the years, I have worked in 12 different homes; some of those were for the same company as I progressed, but to me, Farthings outweighed all previous experiences through my career. As the Registered Manager, I felt happy and content there for 8 years. I woke every day happy to go to work. Even through difficult times in the industry, I always felt supported and encouraged by the Directors and the family as a whole.
My favourite thing overall is that the company is family-run, but led by the residents' wants and wishes. Ashall Care Ltd go above and beyond to ensure the residents receive everything they need, and the Ashall Care team all together really get on and enjoy working together.
In February 2023, Ashall Care was enhanced as a company when we took over Barnby Court Care Home. It was a privilege to support Barnby Court take on Ashall Care's shared Values and envelop our vision. It was then my pleasure to take on the Operations Manager position and CQC Registered Nominated Individual role for the company, working across both Farthings and Barnby Court, supporting the Management team in both homes and driving the business forward.
I feel 100% confident that the delivery of care to our residents is second to none.

Jacqui has always had a passion for helping others. At a young age, she extended her helping hand and provided company for her elderly neighbour, whom she continued to support throughout her teenage years. Jacqui feels that making a difference in someone's life is a truly special position to be in.
Jacqui worked as a deputy manager here at Barnby Court, and her passion and drive were recognised as a true asset to Ashall Care, and so the natural progression for Jacqui was to step into the Home Manager role in November 2025 before working hard to achieve her CQC registration in May 2026.
Jacqui could not think of a greater privilege than to lead, support and empower an inspirational team to provide a high standard of care and wellbeing each day here at Barnby Court
