Mum is always comfortable, and well looked after and her needs are met appropriately. The staff are always cheerful, helpful and friendly. We are delighted with the outstanding care Mum has received at Barty House for the past 3 years.

The staff have been outstanding in responding to her needs. There is a genuine level of compassion.
The environment is friendly and sympathetic and she has been well supported throughout. Often the staff have gone well above and beyond the expected level of care.
Our family are very grateful for all the efforts provided by the staff at Barty House.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Simon, I will make sure they are shared with all the staff.
My husband has lived at Barty House Nursing Home for nearly two and a half years. He is very settled and calm and is always treated with love and respect. The support which he and all the family have received has been amazing. We are so grateful to all the staff for their love and attention to...
It is a difficult decision for any family to take to place a loved one in a home but it was not long before we realised that My husband was happy and stable.
The activities team make every day interesting and the office staff are always on hand to help with any worries. The nurses are amazing and the carers really do care!
Thank you Barty!
Thank you so much for your kind words, Pat, and thank you for all your support of the home, we are lucky to have you as part of our family!
Very pleased with every part of my mother's care at Barty House Nursing Home. She is safe and very comfortable, as she had a lot of falls at home, now we have peace of mind and we know she is well looked after. Many thanks to all the staff at Bethany House Nursing Home.

My father spent the last three and a half weeks of his very long life in Barty House Nursing Home. He was treated compassionately and with respect. Nursing staff were on hand to answer our questions and were quick to make any adjustments necessary to my father's end-of-life care. All staff,...
The care home is welcoming and clean and my father described staff as 'kind' and his treatment 'excellent'. Thank you.
Kate, thank you so much for your kind words. I shall make sure all the staff who helped care for your dad are aware of the lovely comments.

Mum spent her last month of life at Barty House Nursing Home. It was a very difficult time for us. By the time she arrived at Barty House, she had suffered a head injury in hospital which left her almost completely uncommunicative and in constant and intense pain. The staff were courteous and compassionate. The nursing staff, one in particular, were very patient with us, talking us through how her condition would deteriorate and how they would adapt the care to reflect this. As her needs escalated, the home provided an enhanced level of care, over and above what the local authority had agreed to pay for. Care staff were very respectful of Mum's religious beliefs during her stay, including in the treatment of her body after she passed. The deputy manager made herself available outside working hours and the manager attended Mum's funeral. I can't stress how much we appreciated Barty House's care and attention and how much difference this made to us in the final stages of Mum's life.
Thank you so much for your kind words. All the staff at Barty were so fond of your mum and she will be much missed, as will all your family who spent time with us helping us care for Mum. I will pass your kind words on to everyone at Barty.
She...
She was treated as a much loved family member and whilst it is true that she did not want to be in a nursing home, it is also true that she was settled and content there. In spite of her lack of ability to move and to communicate, staff showed the utmost patience and respect for her, always treating her with dignity and how, I suspect, they would want to be treated themselves in similar circumstances,
A well-led home, nothing was too much trouble, adapting diets, bringing activities to her, accommodating and responding to requests - all delivered promptly and appropriately. I have no hesitation in recommending Barty House. For those more able there is a wealth of activities to benefit from and a great chef too!
Thank you so much for your kind words, I will make sure they are passed on to all the staff, David.
The staff at Barty House are amazing. The care they have shown to my parent has been exceptional. My parent was extremely lucky to get a placement here. As a resident they are listened to and their needs are met in a compassionate way.

My Grandma is so happy at Barty House. Considering her age, she is doing pretty well and she loves the atmosphere and services at the home. There is always a nice greeting from staff and everyone seems in good spirits. Lovely place to visit and a fantastic home to stay in. Excellent place.

Hi Richard. Thank you so much for your kind comments, your grandma is a big part of our family at Barty House and much loved by all the staff and other residents. I shall pass your kind words on to all the staff who help care for her.
The staff were absolutely brilliant, the care was wonderful, the room was very good, nice and sunny with a lovely outlook and the food was great too. It would be really hard to find fault with anything there.

The home’s conservatory is a lovely area with a garden view where residents can sit and watch all the wildlife. If you don’t want to join in the many varied activities in the lounge area this is where you can just sit and observe life, rather than staying alone in your room.
Thank you to all the dedicated staff at Barty House for making my husband very happy and settled here.
Thank you so much for your kind words, I will make sure that all the staff who help with care know of your kind words. Dave Willis

My mum had a terrible stroke in 2020 leaving her unable to barely move, speak or eat (whole left side is paralysed) baring in mind this happened at the beginning of the pandemic so obviously was an awful time.

Barty House Nursing Home is a homely, kind and very lovely nursing home. It is managed and run by genuine, skilled, caring and attentive staff. They filled our lovely mum's final weeks with sensitivity, tenderness and kindness. We will be eternally grateful to them for making our dear mum's passing comfortable and compassionate. I don’t think we would have managed so well had it not been for the warmth and kindness that was shown both to Mum and our family at this difficult time.
Thank you for your very kind words, Susan, I shall pass them on to all the staff who helped care for your mum who, although not with us long, was a big part of the Barty House family.
Staff are responsive to his needs and keep his family updated.

Since my mum has been there, her care has been excellent. Nothing is too difficult for them, the staff are lovely and always going the extra mile to help mum. The manager, is friendly and approachable, he is always willing to help you, if needed.

He found...
He found the shared areas overwhelming.
He felt vulnerable. Was not encouraged to eat or drink well, and suffered a number of UTI's, some were only detected after the family requested that he be tested. Regularly being offered tea to drink, when staff were repeatedly told that he liked black coffee or hot chocolate, even when clear notices were put immediately inside his door. Rapidly heading towards being blind, food was put down and he was left to try to feed himself without support.
A hospital transport booking was not made, so he missed a vital eye appointment.
His clothing was often dirty and he was left in bed wearing only incontinence pants and socks on his lower half
Left after hospital admission for dehydration.

We are sorry to hear that you are unhappy with aspects of your father’s care here at Barty House. These really are not instances that we recognise or that are indicative of the high standard of care that we provide. However, we take all feedback, including complaints, very seriously and use this continually to improve our services. We also work closely with our local authority and the CQC and, indeed, involved both organisations at an early stage of your father’s two-month stay with us. Caring for all our residents and keeping them safe is our number one priority. We watch them very closely for signs of ill health and deal swiftly with these, just as we did your father’s UTIs. If you wish to raise a complaint, you can contact our Quality & Compliance team, in confidence, via 07810 487150 or quality@canfordhealthcare.co.uk. Finally, we wish your father all the very best and hope that you find alternative living arrangements for him soon.

My mother was a resident at Barty for more than a year and sadly passed away recently. My father and I were regular visitors. Just a short time before Mum passed, Dad was taken ill very suddenly and ended up in hospital. Mum was taken ill and ended up in hospital too. She was brought back to Barty (her home) to spend her remaining time in comfort, surrounded by the wonderful staff who genuinely cared. Dad wanted to join Mum, and as the hospital felt they could do no more for him, they agreed he could go if Barty would take him, as he was so seriously ill. Well, Barty moved heaven and earth and, along with the hospital, managed to get Dad there within 24 hours. Mum and Dad spent Mum’s last nine days side by side in the same room. Dad is still at Barty, being very well cared for, and is the best he can be under the circumstances. My deepest gratitude goes to the manager and all the staff at Barty for everything they have done for us all and their continuing care of Dad.
Many thanks again.
Facilities for relatives are limited and would benefit from regular cleaning and replenishment....
Facilities for relatives are limited and would benefit from regular cleaning and replenishment.
The management of the home is good, and the admin staff are always friendly and helpful and very much offer a personal touch of kindness if I've been upset, which meant a lot.
The leisure facilities and activities are well thought out and inclusive to all who wish to participate.
The food options can be rather bland, routine and not very appetising. Portions are small for some, and evening meals are not what clients may be ordinarily used to.
Some tweaking is required, but without a doubt, a nice place, where my relative feels comfortable, cared for and loved. Thank you.
Thank you once again
