Dad has been in Barnby Court now for nearly two years, sadly suffering from advanced Alzheimer’s. The home is very well-run and spotlessly clean. The residents are regularly entertained with music and games to which family is always encouraged to join in where possible. The food is all home-cooked on-site and is of a very high standard with lovely homemade cakes. Dad is always kept well-groomed and seems very happy and content. It was a very difficult decision to put Dad into care, but I couldn’t be happier with the choice we made. The staff are so dedicated, friendly, caring, patient and always happy to help, I cannot compliment them enough. I would not hesitate to recommend Barnby Court if you are looking for residential care for your loved one.
Thank you so much for your kind comments, Dad is a big part of Barnby and we wouldn't be able to deliver the same level of care without your and Mum's input. Thank you for attending parties and entertainment where and when you can, it is very much appreciated by us and of course Dad. Thank you again for your continued support.

My mum has been at Barnby Court for 3 years now. She is extremely happy there and in a safe, caring environment. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and great with the residents. They are also extremely helpful when I phone or visit. Communication with the care home is excellent. I receive phone calls from them when they have any concerns and regular emails with details of events that have taken place. When I have needed to visit to fit around my work hours or pick up my mum for an appointment, they have always been extremely accommodating. My mum is extremely happy there and I am happy that she is well looked after by lovely people who do care.
Thank you Andy for taking time to send in a review. I agree Mum is very happy at Barnby Court and takes part in all the well-being activities on offer. I will make sure I pass your kind comments on to the staff.
Somewhat anxious about bringing Mum in, I wasn't sure how it would work. Thankfully, the staff are nothing short of geniuses! They empathised with her straight away and made her feel comfortable, from the cook to management to the fantastic carers themselves, calling out the director who is just...
Somewhat anxious about bringing Mum in, I wasn't sure how it would work. Thankfully, the staff are nothing short of geniuses! They empathised with her straight away and made her feel comfortable, from the cook to management to the fantastic carers themselves, calling out the director who is just fabulous and personable. I'm also treated like a resident and offered refreshments at every opportunity! Thank you.
I would like to take the opportunity to say thank you for your very kind comments and I will ensure that all the staff are made aware of them.
I cannot fault the wonderful staff, cleanliness and support given to my mother-in-law. The food and homeliness are second to none. The staff really show kindness to all residents and you can see everyone cares. I would like to see more staff so they can spend even more with residents.

Mum seems happy here, she loves the food and the homemade cakes. I have been kept well informed of any changes or how Mum has been. Mum enjoys sitting in the middle lounge, she says it's peaceful. She likes to look out at the beautiful garden

This care home has made my mother-in-law so comfortable, she didn't want to go home, now a permanent resident. The staff are so caring and nothing too much trouble. The staff treat her as one of their own. Very good care in every respect.

No words to express how highly I regard Barnby Court and all its staff. My aunt recently died there after 16 years and 51 weeks. The care she always had here was superb, and the care she had in her last days was beyond wonderful - plus lots of TLC for me.

I used Barnby Court for respite for my client while I went on holiday. The staff were lovely with her and looked after her very well.

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
