Ultimately I am looking more forward to when he is properly back with his family permanently. Glad that we can take him for days out and bring him back to the family home
Thank you for your feedback, I am glad that your brother being here with us at Barleycroft means he can now spend more time with his family, both within and outside of the care home. Lets hope he is back with you soon. Natalie

Thank you for sharing this, and I'm truly sorry for the loss of your aunt. Losing a loved one is incredibly hard, and we understand how emotional and difficult this time must have been for you.We are saddened to hear that your aunt often felt unhappy and that this experience was distressing for both of you. Situations like this can be very challenging, especially when residents are experiencing confusion, loneliness, or changes in their mental health that can affect how they feel about their surroundings. Please know that our team always strives to provide compassionate care, comfort, and support to every resident, even when they are struggling in ways that are difficult for families to witness.
We genuinely appreciate you taking the time to share your feelings. If you would be open to it, I would really welcome the opportunity to speak with you personally to better understand your concerns and talk through your experience.

Mum came to the home in December from a previous care home; Mum has settled in very well, rooms are very modern and clean, regular staff helps with Moms familiarity with people to make her comfortable. She has put on healthy weight now and is smiling more. It makes a big difference to be able to see Mom during feeding times, as I can help and spend more time with her, security is good and it feels like a nice place to visit loved ones. I feel happy that when I am not there Mom is in the best care.
Thank you for your kind words the feedback is always appreciated. We are pleased that you are happy with the care your mother is receiving.
Mum has been very well looked after by all members of staff throughout her stay. I couldn't be happier with her care.

Natalie has been a qualified nurse for 23 years, although she started in Healthcare 31 years ago.She has a passion for Frailty and End of Life care
Natalie had worked in care homes for over 8 years in senior roles, and uses the ethos that " She works in her residents' home, they do not live in her place of work".
Natalie understands that moving into a care home can be difficult, as this is your last piece of independence, but she believes that when residents move in, their care must be tailored to them and person-centred. She encourages residents to maintain as much independence as they can.
