Review from Odile Maria (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 April 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Last week I visited my ninety year old mother who is in this care home for a period of respite care, and was astounded at the excellent service provided.
I must say that the staff put a lot of effort into seeing that the elderly guests are comfortable and happy. They are efficient and organized. The
manager, is kind and helped me with my mother. There is even a creative lady who designs pictures so that the guests know exactly what season of the year it is. As it is springtime, she has drawn a tree with green leaves, surrounded by daffodils. She has made beautiful collages of olden times, for memory's sake - lovely!
When the staff finish feeding the guests, they always offer you something to eat and drink, which I think is considerate of them.
There is a family feeling, which makes you feel as if you belong. It is altogether a very agreeable place - recommendable.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.388)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.388) out of 10 for Barleycroft Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 41 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 38 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.388 for Barleycroft Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (307 Excellents x 5) + (115 Goods x 4) + (28 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (28 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 482 Ratings = 4.388
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Barleycroft Care Home is based on 38 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16, which has been reached with 38 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Eleni

Job Title: Head Chef Joined: 2015

Eleni has been our head chef at Barleycroft since we opened.


Eleni is originally from Cyprus and lived in England for 36 years. She has been with us for 18 years.


Eleni said she has a passion for healthy eating, providing a healthy, balanced diet, nutrition and keeping fit.


“We started ready meals with Apetito, and I was not very keen to serve ready-made meals to the residents. Slowly, slowly, we started with one meal created from scratch per week, which was a roast dinner.


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

Job Title: Deputy Manager Joined: 2025

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 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.
