The staff are friendly, helpful and very reassuring with their range of knowledge and insight on family, friends and health conditions. The facilities in my opinion could be a little more up to date such as pressure plate flooring which I have seen in another home. This tracks residents movement. Overall I enjoy the pleasant welcome and leave knowing that my mum is in safe hands.

Can I take this opportunity to thank you on completing a carehome.uk card and thank you for your kind comments, these have been passed onto staff.I have noted your suggestion on pressure plate flooring, Barnby Court is not a purpose built care home and such flooring would be conducive. Staff monitor resident’s welfare and movement over a 24 hour period. We promote a sense of wellbeing by encouraging residents to move around the building freely, promoting choice as to where they sit and where they have their meals.

Barnby Court has been very good to my mother-in-law, with good carers. Although I think with the monthly money certain improvements could have been done around the home. On the money side, since my mother-in-law has started at the home there has been 3 price increases with the last one being a significant increase of circa 20%, which I'm not sure the increase in care/facilities has matched the increase.
We would like to thank you for your kind words which will be shared with the staff team. The home is continually reviewing and updating the environment and I am sure you will note further improvements this forthcoming year.
My mother has been a resident in Barnby since 13th January 2016, so far I have been very happy with the care provided for my mother. The staff have been very thoughtful and attentive. My mother is struggling to settle and I know she is not the easiest of patients to look after.

Barnby Moor is a great home for mum, she feels, safe, secure and well supported. The are also very welcoming and lovely towards my mums family. They cater for mums food needs brilliantly. All the staff are lovely, mum thinks a lot of them. Obviously mum has her carers who mean a lot to her and she has become attached. I must say we thought the last increase in her fee's were a big jump. I would expect to see that difference in the home.

Fantastic care.
Fantastic care.
At her home Mum had become a very insular person with increasing dementia. Often staying in bed and refusing to leave her bedroom. Home care with support was difficult as she became a risk to herself. Mum had some respite here last year with super results. On this arrival she was greeted as family...
The team respect mum and her choices, giving her time to think and respond. If mum requires a quieter day alone in her room or a quieter area this is easily achieved, however staff are always mindful of her being isolated there, popping in frequently chatting and checking or sitting with her during mealtime if mum wants a bit of company. Staff all make family and friends extremely welcome and keep the family fully informed and updates but still make time to listen to you too. This care home is so openly friendly and welcoming mum has lots more visits opportunities. Back to her regular hair do day.
After looking around at others this is the one and they really do care.

The staff are caring and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. I would recommend Barnby Court Care Home to anyone who was thinking about long term care for a relative.
We (my wife and I) have been visiting our friends now for almost 3 years. We have always been made welcome by the staff. She always appears to be quite comfortable and has settled in quite well. The homes rooms are well furnished and recent refurbishment have improved the general appearance.

My friend is happy and well cared for. Visitors are always made welcomed by the staff and offered refreshments. Food and drink must be good as she looks so much better. I do not know about the activities of the cost of care.

Very professional but homely care, the staff are caring towards the residents and also are very supportive to the relatives and friends of residents. We are so fortunate to have mum looked after by such a gem of a care home.

My father has been diagnosed with dementia in hospital and has been so confused. After 2 weeks in Barnby Court it was like having my father of 10 years back. His appearance and general health has dramatically improved because of the care given by Barnby Court. He even think she is in a hotel!

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.
