Barty House Nursing Home

Recommended without reservation.

My sister went into the home in January 2010, at the age of 60, due to a brain injury and needed 24-hour care. She passed away in October 2018. In the 8 years she was there all her needs were taken care of by the excellent staff. In the last 18 months of her life, she needed a lot of special care which was given with love and consideration. As a family, we are so grateful that she found the perfect home for the last years of her life. Thank you so much.

My mother was only in Barty House for the final two weeks of her life but their care of her was excellent, every single member of staff treated my mother with dignity and warmth. The staff also looked after our family as my mother passed on, again with great care, respect and we could not have asked for more.

My mother went to Barty House for end of life care. Although she was only there a short time, she commented that it felt like home. It was a great comfort to me to know that she was treated with care, kindness, dignity and respect during her final days. I would have no hesitation in recommending Barty House to others.

The ultimate in care and kindness. My husband was very well looked after during his time at Barty House. We can't speak highly enough of "team Barty".

Throughout his stay, the dedicated staff could not have been more supportive of Dad and also to ourselves. In his final days, they treated Dad with dignity and respect and were so kind to us at such a painful time.

When we first viewed the nursing home the staff were very happy to show us around and were very helpful and efficient after getting the patient moved to the nursing home. Since being at the home the staff provide an excellent standard of care for the resident and are always helpful and friendly towards the residents and their visitors.

No words can express the level of support that both my mother and I were given in the last weeks of her life. Every conceivable effort was made not only to give mum her dignity and the care she needed but also to me who needed the support to see me through these dark days. Every member of staff whether it be nursing, caring, office or activity were there to show that they fully cared and understood what we were going through.

Mum had been at Barty House for just over 15 months (after I had done a huge amount of research on other homes in the area). Although at the beginning she was a little unsure, it did not take her long to feel wanted and cared for. Something that was very important to me was to see her settled and for her to experience the care, getting her involved in all the activities and she made a lot of friends with other residents and staff along the way.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Barty House no matter what level of care is required.

Having visited a few homes, as soon as we saw Barty House Nursing Home, my brother and I both knew that this was the most peaceful and caring home I had visited.

The staff and nurses are all wonderfully kind and helpful people who treated out mum with nothing else but care and compassion. When mum got poorly the care and respect they showed her was amazing and the home is a fun and happy place, full of laughter, fun, games, and above all care. We will miss our visits to Barty House Nursing Home. Thank you all for looking after our beloved Mum until the end.

My family were impressed by the staff's caring attitude to my mother, she found her experience in the home somewhat frightening and struggled to come to terms with being away from her own home. At all times we met with efficient helpful staff, who would take time to listen to our concerns and to the needs of my mother, despite some very trying circumstances with regard to her physical and mental conditions.

With all my family we can only say a big thank you to them all for giving my mother the best care possible during the last 9 months of her life.

I have recently retired from the NHS after 37 years as a paramedic and have visited many care/nursing homes. On entering Barty House it immediately gave off an aura of calm, friendly, and professional care. The staff are totally focused on delivering first-class care to both service users and their family relatives. The service users are happy and content, nothing is too much trouble, sadly our family member passed away only 5 weeks after admission to this facility. I cannot commend the staff enough, the end of life care was very special to both the service user and very upset family members. The room and facilities at Barty House are the best I have ever experienced, and full credit to the nursing staff, managers, reception, catering and every other staff who make Barty House a very special place. Thank you so much for all you did for our family member.

Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and they always had a smile and a kind word for dad and us when we visited. When the end came, they treated dad with dignity and respect and were so kind to us at such a painful time. Not for one minute have we regretted the decision we made for dad to live out his final months at Barty House - it was a wonderful and humbling experience to witness the care and dedication of the wonderful staff. We will always remember you and will be forever grateful.

Thank you to everyone at Barty House

My father received the very best care at Barty House. The staff are fabulous and can always find time to answer your queries, they are unfailingly professional, friendly and kind. My father enjoyed the activities and was encouraged to join in. The surroundings and grounds are lovely and make you feel as if you are visiting a country house rather than a care home.

I never heard a cross word or nasty comment from them, even when dealing with other residents, not just my dad.

My siblings and I often met the same carers when we visited my dad and they were always accommodating and friendly. Barty seemed to use few agency staff which is always a good sign. They had an excellent range of afternoon activities, lead by a dedicated and very friendly activities team.

The facilities in the care home were always of a high standard and kept very clean.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Barty House as an excellent care home.

The food smells wonderful, and staff have been wonderfully accommodating of her likes and dislikes, as well as her freedom to make her own choices. Thank you so much!

We are in the care industry and the care that my client received was fantastic. So welcoming, approachable, caring and so compassionate at the end of her life. The care she received was out of this world. This is all down to the home managers who were always there for us. I still like to visit the home and just pop in for a chat.

In particular, we would praise the staff under the watchful eye of the manager who were great with dad and us making it easy also to spend those last vital days continually with dad.
