My mother-in-law went to Barnby Court Care Home on 15th December 2016 she had been moved from another home and when we arrived at Barnby Court they had an emergency to cope with but we were made extremely welcome and dealt with very well. Previously I had been to look at the home and the manager answered every question in detail and I was impressed immediately. The Christmas party was excellent with all the staff joining in and making the residents day very enjoyable. Since leaving there my mother-in-law has found a new lease of life and loves it. This is due to the excellent standard of care provided by all the staff. Wonderful.
Always made very welcome when visiting. Nice, friendly atmosphere and residents seem very happy and comfortable.

I am very happy that my mum is in Barnby Moor Care Home. I know that she is in the care of lovely staff who put my mum's best interests first. The home is always friendly, a home from home atmosphere as soon as you walk through the door. The food always looks delicious and mum's room is very comfortable. I cannot imagine my mum being as happy anywhere else.
All the staff are very friendly, caring and efficient. I am happy with my Aunt's care and progress. My aunt's personal care is usually outstanding.

From day one the management and staff have been absolutely fantastic, both with the client and I. On first arriving the client was made to feel welcome and safe overnight, he settled very quickly indeed. I wouldn't have any queries about using the care home for any of my family if needed.

The staff at Barnby Court Care Home are excellent, always friendly and willing to answer any questions. I also find them empathetic towards clients and family. Since Mum became worse in her condition, the staff have shown great care for her, providing special equipment for her.

My mum was placed here as an emergency respite by social services. The care home is in need of updating and decorating and the carpets need replacing. The staff are friendly and do their best but they seem to be short staffed for the amount of residents. All the bathrooms need updating. The food served looks good, all home made even though mums seemed a little cold. The two conservatories have a pleasant outlook onto the garden but unfortunately don't seem to be used much. Mum sleeps most of the time so it is difficult to get a clear picture of the care she receives but on every visit she has been clean and comfortable.

Thank you for taking the time to complete a review. We really value the feedback provided by those who use our services.You have highlighted concerns about the standard of décor at the home.In the summer of 2015, we announced a major new investment programme, with a further £100 million investment which will enable us to complete refurbishments right across all homes. Many of the changes being made have been decided by Residents themselves, and the first phase of this upgrade programme is currently underway at 50 homes, before expanding to all homes over the coming months. We are in the process of decorating Residents bedrooms and there are plans to refresh the home.
With reference to your concerns about staffing levels at the home. Please be assured all of our homes meet or exceed the staffing guidelines that are set by our regulators. We are committed to providing Residents with the high quality, kind care they deserve, and therefore tailor our staffing levels to ensure we can meet everyone’s individual needs.
All of our Residents are encouraged to use all areas of the home and are assisted to where they would like to spend their day.
We will work with the chefs at the home and monitor the food that is being served. Making sure Residents have a choice of their favourite foods is really important to us. We record individual preferences to make sure our fresh food menus are created around what they want most. We are delighted to welcome families and loved-ones to share in mealtimes, and the Sunday roast is a special time at many of our homes.
The home manager has an open door policy, feel free to call in anytime to discuss any concerns you may have. Thanking you again for taking the time to provide really helpful feedback about the home. We value all feedback and ensure it is recorded and acted upon.

A very pleasant and friendly atmosphere, the staff are very helpful and seem to genuinely care for the residents. My friend who is a resident, says the food is very good and there is always a good choice available. The only negative aspect is the car park, it's very small and soon gets full up. But this doesn't affect the residents only their visitors.
I find the staff at Barnby Court very helpful and accommodating, nothing is too much trouble for them and if I ever end up in a care home it would be Barnby Court I can't praise it high enough.

I am very impressed with the caring and compassionate way in which our friend has been looked after over the last three months and also for another period of time at the end of last year. I would like to commend and thank everyone.

HC-One aims to deliver the kindest possible care to all Residents, and we know how important it is to provide continuity of care with friendly and familiar staff members to support each Resident.However, it may be that we are waiting for the GP to get back to us, or waiting for a GP visit or some medication to arrive that the care staff may not be aware of. To avoid any wrong or incomplete information being given to the family it is important that the senior on shift has the discussion.
The Home Manager operates an open door policy and is always happy to discuss any concerns about Residents care needs.

I am very happy with the service that I am having at Barnby Court, the staff are willing to help with anything you require any help whether it be big or small and everyone is so friendly and they wouldn't mind doing anything to make you feel at ease.

Barnby Court has a cosy, non institutional and homely atmosphere. The residents have complex and very different needs which the staff manage very well. Without exception they are calm, caring, patient firm but fair, very professional. Also they are compassionate and human. I have seen a lots of hugs. I particularly like that there are 4 different areas, the residents do not all sit in a circle, not watching the television. I would like to see more organised activities. It may be that these take place when I'm not visiting. I realise that many would not engage (mum) but feel that the opportunity should exist.

Thank you for your comments, at HC-One we value and act on all feedback. Since our new activities lady started at the beginning of the year we have had lots more going on, arts and crafts, The Church and some outings. Motivation and encouragement plus lots more Tai Chi and lots of rummage boxes. We have had activities around Easter Bonnets, Mothers Day and Valentine days, we also provide Doll Therapy. We have on-going monthly meetings and monthly planners scheduled.

When I first came here I was worried but then I woke up and realised how comfortable I am here. I'm happy I really am. When my husband passed away I had to take care of myself but I'm very comfortable here. I made mistakes at home. It's beautiful I don't have to do all the washing. At first I wondered what I was doing here. I honestly think it is a lovely place to live in.
Seems to be very organised, friendly and approachable staff. Excellent care given.

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
