Our experience has given us peace of mind for the mental and physical care of our family member. Who is always happy to go ‘home to Barty’ after a day out with the family. Thank you for your support and dedication.
Thank you very much for your kind words, I shall certainly pass them all to all the staff involved in your mum in laws care. She is very much part of our Barty House family and it is an honour to care for her.

Barty House Nursing Home offers a very friendly, caring ambience where residents are well catered for. My wife became a resident recently and has settled in well thanks to the caring way in which she has been treated. Having looked at several homes I would thoroughly recommend Barty for the care offered. It is nice to see the management getting involved with the residents who the seem to know personally.
Thank you so much for your kind words Richard. We are so pleased how well your mum has settled in to life at Barty. I will pass on to all the staff your very kind comments.

Barty House also looked after my dad at the end of his life too and he received the same compassion that my mum now has. I would not hesitate to recommend.
I shall pass on your kind comments to all the staff involved in her care.
Overall my wife is content with the level of care she receives from all members of staff. Response times to the call system could be faster but this may be down to recruitment issues.

Thank you very much for the comments made, I do note the comments with regard to call bells and I can assure you that this is a priority to ensure prompt response at all times of day or night. I hope that the new system to be introduced that we discussed will help with this.
Thanks again

Mother moved. Piles of fluff and crumbs under the bed. Someone else's property was found in the empty chest of drawers.
Requested numerous times for electrical equipment to be checked as per policy, but still not done.

I would like to say a very big thank you to everyone for all the kindness they showed to my uncle. He was diagnosed with terminal cancer and got admitted in October 2021 till he sadly passed in January 2023 after a long fight with his illness. I feel so grateful knowing that he got the best care and that his needs were met night and day. The support I got from all the staff was second to none and for this, I am so grateful please keep up all your hard work. I have no problem recommending Barty House.

I visit every day so have been able to get to know other relatives of residents and everyone seems to agree Barty is a lovely home with staff who have an infectious energy to ensure they are putting the resident's needs first

My brother and I cannot thank Barty House Nursing Home and all the staff enough, for the love and care and kindness that they showed our Mum. She was diagnosed with terminal cancer in February 2022 and went to Barty House Nursing Home in March 2022, her room was in Monckton Ward. Her illness was short as she passed away at Barty House Nursing Home on 26th June 2022 but during that time she had security in the knowledge that at any time of the day or night her needs were met whether it be more medication or just someone to hold her hand when she was frightened. As a family, we were given so much support and guidance by the nurses and carers through each stage of her illness from beginning to end. We will always be grateful that we chose Barty House Nursing Home for our Mum's final days. Thank you so much Barty House Nursing Home.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Even though only at Barty House for a short time, your mum was very much a part of our family and will be much missed. I will pass your comments on to all the staff who helped care for her, I know it will mean a lot to them that you were so pleased with the care that they gave.
The care given to my beloved partner was quite exceptional, always with a smile and a chat but always with gentle professionalism. Nothing deemed too much trouble in the need to give comfort and support. The home itself is welcoming with its relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. The rooms are...
The care given to my beloved partner was quite exceptional, always with a smile and a chat but always with gentle professionalism. Nothing deemed too much trouble in the need to give comfort and support. The home itself is welcoming with its relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. The rooms are light, airy, spacious, well-furnished and clean. The garden is a delightful place to sit and recharge mind and body, all while being entertained by the wildlife. Barty House Nursing Home is a home from home, and we owe it so much during the time we were there.
Thank you so much for the lovely review. The staff work so hard to make Barty House such a special environment and to hear such kind words is always appreciated. Your loved one was very much part of our family at Barty House, and he is greatly missed. I will pass on your kind words to all the staff that helped care for him.
All of the staff at Barty House were amazing. They all made sure that my dad's final days were as comfortable as they could possibly be. Myself and my family felt that everyone really cares about the residents. Thank you so very much to you all!

Thank you so much for your review and kind words which I will pass on to the staff. Your dad was very popular with all the staff, and he will be much missed at Barty House.

My husband went to Barty House from the hospice, he was as well as he possibly could be at the time but he did not receive the care that was expected. He only had 7+2 parts of a day. In that time he had very little care and felt isolated. His first day he never got a drink after breakfast until 3.15. I did ask at 12.30 if he would be getting a drink. Water jug empty on 3 occasions. Took all 3 blankets away, left 3 windows open all night. Then he was not given some of his medication, leaving him feeling ill. He rang buzzer, no help so he passed out. He had a visitor pop in to see him at 8pm, finding him unconscious rang again for help. It was 8.25 before help came. Then the day before he died he was feeling well and at 4.30 he was sitting up eating an ice cream then at 5.15 he was not answering his phone. We tried 4 times. The home phoned at 8.30 saying he was having a reaction to the morphine. When we got there he was barley conscious but managed to say his very last words. Take me home.

Dear Pauline, having spoken with you in detail beforehand about these issues, I am sorry that you still have concerns. As you know, your husband came to us from the hospice for end-of-life care. Our electronic records show he was regularly attended to, his buzzer answered and his water jugs continually refilled. Due to the heatwave staff took actions to keep the room cool for his comfort. His medication was prescribed by the doctor when needed, rather than on a regular basis. When his visitor arrived at 8pm, he was deeply asleep, not unconscious. On his final day, he received his medication and did not experience any negative reactions to it. He was at the end stage of his illness and we are truly very sorry for your loss. If you wish to raise a complaint, you can write directly to me and your issues will be investigated thoroughly. You can also contact our quality team in confidence via 07810 487150 or quality@canfordhealthcare.co.uk.

My sister and I spent time choosing the right home for dad and Barty House stood out from the rest. The understanding and acceptance of dad as a person and his likes and dislikes were established early on and taken on board. It took time for him to settle and any difficulties were dealt with quickly and the care he received was very good considering covid restraints and staff absence. He settled well and liked the home, especially the humour and caring attitude of the staff. As his health deteriorated the staff acted in a prompt and professional way to support dad. Having access to his notes was really helpful in order to keep up to date with his progress when covid restrictions were in place. The staff at the home were very supportive to my sister and myself as dad reached the end of his life and dealt with every aspect of his and our care sensitively. Thank you all at Barty House as a senior nurse myself I would highly recommend this home.
Thank you so much for the lovely review. Your dad was very much a part of our family at Barty, as were yourself and your sister! I will pass on the comments to all involved in your dads care. Please feel welcome to pop in and say hello whenever you are in the area.

My mum moved in at the end of November 2021. Unfortunately, she is mostly bedbound and unable to participate in the majority of the many varied daily activities on offer. However, the staff frequently chat with her and she has a television in her room. They do a great job ensuring she is kept comfortable and pay close attention to her physical health. The staff are very polite and always helpful however due to workloads they sometimes forget to follow up requests but a gentle reminder usually resolves the issue. The food is freshly prepared on-site and of a good standard, mum enjoys most of the selection available and I believe this has significantly helped her recovery. My relatives and I are happy to recommend this home.
Dear Colin, thank you for your kind feedback, and for working with our team to ensure that your mum receives the best possible care and support. We’re so happy to have you both as part of our Barty House family. I will pass on your comments to the team, who will be very happy to receive them.

When visiting Staff are welcoming and make time to update the family. They are especially supportive to my 92-year-old Dad who visits my mother 4-5 times a week.

During that time he was looked after and nursed with care, kindness and respect. He made new friends and spent happy times with other residents on the lovely veranda overlooking the garden. The team at Barty House made us welcome, never treated us as an inconvenience, and did all they could to make daily visits a success.
At the end he was treated with dignity and we were offered every kindness. We could not have asked for more.
Thank you so much for your kind comments, although your dad was only with us a short time, he was a much-loved member of the Barty family. He will be greatly missed, not just by staff but by all the friends he made here.
The home is bright, airy and clean. Have found the staff to be very approachable, friendly and helpful and the care of the residents is excellent, with lots of interaction and activities. Feedback is very good and any concerns or queries are dealt with promptly.
