We have a good experience of the home and staff with colleagues being kind and considerate. The staff are always friendly, sunny and bright. Often greeted with a smile and always offered a drink upon arrival. I leave feeling my mother is cared for, which is of great comfort.

Mum has been in respite for four weeks and the staff could not be any more helpful. All staff have got to know Mum and she is clean, settled and seems happy. Her room is lovely and the staff have managed her personal care efficiently and with respect.

This was a very hard decision for me to make to bring my husband here. but it had to be done. I couldn't cope at home any longer and it takes quite a lot of adjusting to, but thankfully he is well looked after and the staff are all very pleasant and helpful.

This is the first month that I have been able to visit since March 2020. Procedures are being followed in line with the group's instructions, and the home feels like a safe place to visit. My mother is happy with the arrangements.

Care colleagues are very helpful. During the lockdown, the care home and staff have been great keeping in touch with myself. Mum seems in good spirits despite the lockdown; overall everything is ok.

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

Charley has worked at Barnby Court care home since 2024 as a senior carer with a wealth of experience working in the care sector prior to joining our team.
