I've noticed a really positive change in the home since the new manager started. There seems to be a real focus on improving the environment and making sure residents feel comfortable and well cared for. The atmosphere feels more organised, communication has improved, and the staff appear more...
It's clear that the new management is working hard to make positive changes, and those efforts are starting to show. Small improvements in daily routines, cleanliness, and engagement with residents have made a noticeable difference. It's reassuring to see the home moving in such a positive direction.
Overall, it's encouraging to see the progress being made, and I hope the improvements continue. Thank you to the team for the care and effort you're putting In.
I would however like to see more activities being done with my mum. I do realise her dementia has affected her mobility, but this should not exclude her. It makes me smile seeing her picture on your social media page.
We're really pleased to hear you've noticed the positive changes in the home. Creating a comfortable, well-organised environment where residents feel supported and valued is so important to us, and it's...
Thank you for your kind and thoughtful feedback - it means a lot to the team at Barrogil House.We're really pleased to hear you've noticed the positive changes in the home. Creating a comfortable, well-organised environment where residents feel supported and valued is so important to us, and it's wonderful to know this is coming through.
It's also lovely to hear that seeing your mum on our social media brings a smile. Those moments of connection really matter.
We appreciate your feedback around activities too. We'll share this with the team to ensure we continue finding ways to involve your mum in a way that suits her needs and abilities.
Thank you again for your support and encouragement.

Thank you for your lovely feedback about Barrogil House. We are so pleased you have noticed the positive changes within the home in recent weeks. Our team has been working hard to continue upgrading areas of the home, increase the range of activities on offer, and ensure residents and families know our staff are here to speak with them whenever needed.

My mother required care for complicated physical, psychiatric and dementia problems. Barrogil House agreed to take mum in, to see if she would settle and hopefully find a home where she would find peace of mind and body. Sadly mum continued to have increasing difficulties and did not improve despite the heroic, continuous and supportive care of staff and management. Everything that could have been done was done for mum. No other team could have done more.
Thank you for your kind words, and taking the time to leave a review.

Your professional standards were exhibited from the very first day my sister arrived, and the staff at all levels had very good interaction and communication with the family. You catered for my sisters every need and helped her gently through her difficult times. I know my sister appreciated your care as she would speak about how she found the staff friendly and that she was happy with the way you treated her.
My family would like to say thank you for the respectful and dignified way you treated our sister right up to her final hour.
Thank you.

We have been very happy with the person centred care provided. All staff showed a positive desire to make mum feel as at home as possible and her interests were considered when staff engaged with her and with us.
We are particularly grateful for the compassion and gentle care given to mum and to us as a family when it became apparent that mum was dying. The team at Barrogil were professional and sensitive to all our needs.
Thank you Team Barrogil.
Thank you for your kind words and taking the time to leave a review. It is much appreciated.
My mother-in-law had been a resident in Barrogil House from July 2021 until she sadly, passed away in October 2024. During these three years, she was cared for to the highest standard by a wonderful staff team led by an excellent management team. The communication from the team was top-class,...
Staff always treated my mother-in-law with full respect and tried wherever possible to adapt their activities to suit her specific needs. The care that was given to her after a period of hospitalisation was nothing short of remarkable. One nurse simply wasn't going to accept the poor prognosis from the hospital and tried everything in her skills to help... in the first three days after discharge, more progress was made getting her to eat/drink than the entire time in hospital. This determination must be commended.
Overall, we will be forever grateful for the care and love shown during these three years.
Thank you so much for your kind words and taking the time to leave a review.
Very friendly staff. Nothing more to add.

My only regret is that...
My only regret is that we never found Barrogil sooner. It is in a lovely, peaceful location with countryside views, and the accommodation is to a high standard and is kept scrupulously clean. But it is the professionalism and caring attitude of all the staff that really impressed me.
All the staff - nurses, carers, housekeeping, and management - treated my dad with great respect and dignity. And were very supportive of our family.
I witnessed many many acts of kindness from the staff towards various different residents during my daily visits.
I know from personal experience that it is very difficult to find a good nursing home for your loved one. But I would recommend Barrogil as being one of the best.
Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to leave a review.

My dad has Alzheimer's Disease and had to eventually go into full-time care in July of 2022. We were so lucky to find him a place in Barrogil House! He has been there for almost six months, and I could not be more impressed with the facility. The staff are all very friendly and know every resident by name and treat them so well. There is an upbeat, light atmosphere all the time, and it's never dull. They have an entertainment coordinator and often have singers and entertainers come in to keep spirits high. The rooms are very spacious, all with an ensuite shower and toilet. Cleanliness is to a high standard, and my dad is always clean and fresh when I visit. I try to visit every few days and always know he will be well taken care of when I'm not there. Meals always look tasty, and there is always a constant tea and snack service if needed. Having had a very bad experience with the emergency care home my dad went into first, Barrogil House was a breath of fresh air. Highly recommended. A+.

I just want to say how impressed and in awe of Barrogil House Care Home I am. My mum has now been a resident for over a year and I have seen her mental health improve due to the care, social interaction and safe environment and nothing is a problem. The manager and covid lead are doing an amazing job and communication is excellent. My mother's care has been outstanding and would highly recommend any family to consider this care home.

Outstanding care home on all levels. As a retired CEO organisations reflect the values of their leaders. This home has an outstanding focus and value-driven leader. This is reflected in the staff and therefore the professional and caring way that residents are nurtured and looked after. During these challenging times, the home has coped and flourished. My aunt was 100 years old recently it was a pleasure for the family, my aunt and the staff to celebrate such a great day together.
Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to leave a review.
Very welcoming when visiting. Clean, bright and airy and very clean rooms. I am comforted to know my husband is well cared for. The staff are excellent. A very well run care home and management is excellent.
