My auntie is extremely happy at Barnby Court and we have always been very pleased with her care, the facilities and the high standard of cleanliness of the home.
The rooms are delightfully decorated with seasonal displays to add interest and pleasure for the residents.
She's had many underlying medical issues but nothing is too much trouble.

Care was required at short notice for our father and the staff pulled all the stops out and our father was made comfortable there within a few hours. They also supervised solutions to many of the problems he has been experiencing. We definitely now have peace of mind knowing he is being cared for...

As I have been caring for my wife for over 4 and a half years myself, I realise that when a care team take over who are professional, it is extremely hard work. That is why I answer excellent to the questions asked. I realise this now that they have taken over, especially through the night.

This is our second visit, the first was for respite, the second permanent for mum who has Alzheimer's. The welcome and warmth of staff are exceptional. The care and professionalism for all including the family and my mum make everything seem ok and relief that mum is somewhere that cares.

I am extremely happy with the care that is given to my mother. I no longer have to worry about her health or safety. She is in safe hands. She is very happy with her life here and is content to spend the rest of her life here. The staff are brilliant and nothing is too much trouble for them. She has a lovely room and everything is very clean. The choice of food is very satisfactory and well presented. Definitely the best home she could have.
We were very impressed with all of the staff and management, they helped us all and we felt that all staff couldn't do enough.
We will be contacting them again if we need further respite care again. Many thanks.

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.
