All the staff from the cleaners to the manager have been very supportive and although I need only a little help, they are always around when I need them, they recognise that I am usually a very independent person, they always know my name and there is always a smile to accompany this.

Since mum has arrived at Abbotts Barton the care that she has received has been outstanding.

My Dad has been a resident at Abbotts Barton for two years now and felt right at home from the beginning. He struggled at home to come to terms with his advanced care needs and straight away the team were professional, warm, caring and reassuring and he has settled in so well. He has a lovely group of friends he meets for activities, minibus trips, chess, dinner and drinks. He also values the relationships he as grown with all the staff, the care staff and companion team in particular. They have all taken the time to get to know him well and I know he has so much respect for the amazing work they do. The nursing team and care staff understand his care needs brilliantly and when he has been poorly, they have noticed straight away which is reassuring for my family and I that he is in the best hands. Having a nursing team in house has been invaluable. He wouldn't be anywhere else. What an amazing home!

I have been here for two weeks. I have found the place efficient and welcoming with kind and friendly staff. The food is delicious and varied, although I would prefer a supper later that 5:30pm - Sandwiches at midnight are a delight! The gardens are beautiful.

My Mother has been a resident for over 4 years. She is incredibly happy and the care is outstanding. All staff are kind, highly competent and caring. These very high standards are set by the Home Manager and cascade through to all teams in the home - nurses, carers, activities, catering and housekeeping.
My Mother's strong relationships with staff and residents are vital to her. She enjoys engaging in the wide ranging activities and having the beautiful garden. In her words:
"Abbotts Barton do everything they can to make everything right for you. They know your fancies and foibles. Automatically get for you the things you like and need. It makes me feel relaxed. I am in control of my life, people here listen to me."
My Mother also has very complex health issues. The nursing team's prompt and skilled actions have probably saved her life on a number of occasions.
This is an excellent Care Home with a lovely culture that treats all residents and their families with respect and care.
Thank you for such a wonderful review. We're so pleased to hear how happy your mother is at Abbotts Barton, and that she feels respected and supported and enjoys the activities, garden, and friendships here.
