My mother was given a very warm welcome on her arrival in August 2013. A very professional, attentive and caring service was provided to mum throughout her stay, she greatly valued the friendship and camaraderie of the nursing staff, whom she saw each day and formed close bonds with.
The nursing staff
stayed with her in the closing hours and minutes of her life, and we are grateful to all of the nurses for being there with her, knowing she was not alone when she passed. Our sincere thanks.

My mother was brought here in February 2016. She was in a very bad condition, suffering from cancer/kidney failure and heart valve failure. Since then her heart has improved vastly with the care and attention to detail that she has received. All the staff have very open and friendly way and give help
to any resident who ask, whether they be sister, nurse, secretary or administrator, they are all very willing to help all residents at all times. Well done and thank you all.

Arriving at Barty House on the 28th May 2016 I was made to feel warmly welcome. My friend left me and went home. The staff helped me to settle in and put my clothes away. The room is clean, airy and the view is splendid. A longer telephone lead would have been more convenient. A key for the safety drawer
would have been useful could not be found.

Barty House is exceptional in the way the residents are cared for, looked after and treated with dignity and respect. Carers are loving and spend quality time with residents. They all have a difficult job but carry out their duties with a professional approach. from the first time you enter Barty House
as a relative you are treated by all staff with a genuine smile and greeting. It is a difficult time for residents yet the facilities and daily activities are so well organised, makes everyone happy. An excellent team from everyone.

Our mother benefited from the caring environment delivered by the lovely staff at Barty House during the last 2 and a half years of her life. The surroundings, standard of care, facilities and environment of this care home are of a good standard all round and any criticisms/concerns were quickly addressed.
We would recommend Barty House for quality nursing care.

My husband has been in Barty House for 4 years after a very debilitating stroke, unable to communicate, and has been cared for with extreme care and dignity. I cannot praise the staff in all areas highly enough. Barty House is a happy place, always buzzing with activities and laughter.

My mum became a resident at Barty House in November 2015 for end of life care. She passed away on 20/1/16 with the fantastic care of all the nursery staff. The staff from day one fulfilled all her wishes and treated her with the dignity and privacy that was befitting my mum and as a family we cannot
praise or thank them enough.

My mum was only in Barty for seven weeks respite but it was like checking into a five star hotel! I found it to be light, airy and toasty warm. The staff were first class. Always smiling, always helpful, treating the residents with much dignity. Mum loved them, she thoroughly enjoyed the daily activities
and judging by the weight she put on she loved the food. Mum really enjoyed her stay here and if I were a millionaire I would have loved her to stay forever. I would highly recommend Barty House.

My husband has been a resident since October 2014. He is well looked after by all the staff and is very happy. The carers are all very friendly and caring. If there is a problem the manager and her staff are usually able to sort it out. The food is excellent, the home is very clean and the laundry is
very efficient.

Two weeks spent at Barty House following major surgery for bowel cancer. My husband spent his last 2 weeks there in October 2012. Cannot praise it too highly. The nurses and staff were always helpful, kind and in good spirits. The amentities and rooms cannot be faulted. Should I need a nursing home
in the future please let it be Barty House. Residents always looked cared for and rooms tidy and clean.

Provided excellent respite care for my mother. I was apprehensive about her going into a home but she settled in very quickly and felt safe and happy to be there. The staff were caring and friendly and the food excellent. I shall certainly use them for respite again and long term if necessary.

My father spent a week respite care at Barty House after leaving hospital. His experience was a wonderful one. Happy, kind, caring staff, wonderful food. Excellent facilities, fun-loving entertainment team and a warm and comfortable environment. His every need was met with kindness and in a very prompt
way. My thanks go to the whole team, management and staff alike.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.685)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.685) out of 10 for Barty House Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.685 for Barty House Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (257 Excellents x 5) + (60 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 337 Ratings = 4.685

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Barty House Nursing Home is based on 29 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 59 registered maximum number of service users is 11.8, which has been reached with 29 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
