My Aunt had been in Barleycroft for nine and a half years before her recent passing. There had been a number of staff changes during that time. She was always treated with care and respect. As her dementia worsened her care was increased .The home was very welcoming and I was always treated well. the home was regularly updated with the decor and furnishings. The cleanliness was very good. The activities team work hard to provide things for the more able residents to take part in and organise Family summer and Christmas fairs. Seasonal celebrations always have decorations put up to make a homely atmosphere. All in all a good place.

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.

Eleni has been our head chef at Barleycroft since we opened.
Eleni is originally from Cyprus and has lived in England for 36 years. She has been with us for 22 years.
Eleni has a passion for healthy eating, providing a healthy, balanced diet, nutrition and keeping fit.
The meals we serve in the care home are all cooked from fresh ingredients. We are able to cater for the needs of our residents with modified diets, and we are happy to listen to what the residents would like on the menus
We now serve four weekly menus prepared from scratch.I like chatting with the residents and getting their feedback about the meals.
After a long, tiring day, it is good to hear positive comments about the meals from residents
