Review from R T (Wife of Resident) published on 9 September 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Very welcoming on admission to redecorated attractive room with flowers and a welcome card - appreciated! Came in on respite care now permanent and finding it difficult to settle. The staff are very friendly and caring, but sometimes the wait when needing the toilet is difficult but realise many residents need 2 carers at a time as my husband does and have complex medical needs. Lovely not to hear continuous bell ringing all day as can happen in other homes.

The garden and "garden club" we used and enjoyed by ourselves and other residents. Usually a quiet, friendly atmosphere. Thank you to all the management and staff.

My mother has lived at this care home since 2014. The standard of comfort and care has mostly been excellent. The few problems that have arisen over the years have been swiftly resolved.

Review from J M (Resident / Service User) published on 18 July 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I have been here for 2 1/2 years and in that time this has been my home. I am contented and have become used to the routine and the staff who are helpful, cheerful and discreet. Visitors are always made welcome and my daughter is pleased I am in a safe place. The team in charge of entertainment work hard to find ways to keep residents happy. My pre-lunch sherry is something I enjoy with the opportunity to meet other residents, mid-morning and afternoons, tea and coffee are provided. I consider myself lucky to be here in my old age.

Review from S M (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 July 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
I thought it would be difficult for you to live up to the glowing recommendations I had heard from people whose parents are with you. In fact, you have exceeded our expectations.

My mother arrived at Abbotts Barton lonely, exhausted and stressed and after just a few weeks, she's back to her old self. She's eating better, enjoying the company and keen to join in with the activities and repeatedly stresses how kind all the staff are. Thank you.

Review from Natalie C (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 June 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Very impressed with every aspect from first impression to accommodation and lovely gardens. All staff and management friendly and caring. Lovely that residents can invite visitors for meals and coffee/tea. The newspaper service is a good idea. The welcome flowers followed by the "thank you for staying" flowers are a joy. The activities are very good and mum particularly enjoyed the outings with picnic provided. Hair salon is also excellent. Do good to have lovely baths. Wonderful.

I much enjoyed meeting many great carers from overseas who are so content to work in this occupation and very gentle and cheerful.

The garden is so enjoyable and you care for the local bird population (see blue tit babies!).

Overall Experience

We were invited to lunch with a resident and were delighted to be served in the sitting room so we had privacy. Our 'waiter' was extremely attentive to us all and took particular care of our friend. The meal was superb and an excellent choice was available. Our friend is very happy living there. Thank you.

Overall Experience

Although my mother had a place at Abbotts Barton, due to a deterioration of her condition she was unable to leave the hospice. The arrangements for making her welcome at the setting were first class. The team could not have been more caring, welcoming and genuine in their approach and the dignity with which they dealt with our family We would not hesitate to recommend Abbotts Barton.
