Only a short walk from the seafront and a few minutes from the beautiful South Downs, this Art Deco style Home has been restored to its former splendour to include a purpose built extension and conservatory.

The elegant gardens are attractively landscaped and have lots of seating areas and pagodas to shelter from the sun. There is a large lounge, which is comfortably decorated for residents’ use, with lovely views of the garden.

The level of care each person receives will depend on their individual needs. This is continuously monitored and reviewed to ensure each person receives the right level of care. Please contact Barford Court for further information.

My sister recently became a permanent resident and has settled in extremely well. Our family are relieved that she is in a safe and caring environment with dedicated staff.
Barford Court is in a great location with lovely gardens and a short walk from the sea.
I highly recommend Barford Court.

My father died suddenly and we had to find emergency care for his companion. Barford Court offered her immediate respite care and she moved in the following day. After a month she became a permanent resident which was the best decision I could have made for her. She has settled in well and most of the
time appears very happy. I cannot thank all the staff, team leaders, carers, housekeepers, maintenance team and admin team for the kind and considerate care which I see on a daily basis towards all the residents. The home is always clean and warm and comfortable for residents and visitors alike. The food is healthy and I often take in her favourite treats for her and her friends. There are also several pampering sessions she enjoys on a weekly basis. I would highly recommend this care home for anyone looking for a safe and caring environment and I would also like to say a big thank you to you all for what can sometimes be a very difficult job.

Barford Court staff have been fabulous with my partner as he has had repeated and unexpected trips to the hospital. It has been a frightening and confusing time for him and they have been kind, caring and attentive to his medical condition, raising concerns with medics when needed. It always feels
safe and friendly when I visit, several times a week.

Entrusting your loved one into the care system has many concerns. Ours melted away within days of our dear Mum who stayed at Barford Court for what turned out to be her last few months of life. There is an atmosphere within the building that I can't quite explain, but one that has an overwhelming feeling
of peace, calm and confidence.
The dedicated team are some of the most caring people I've ever met, observing their daily challenges in their calm, respectful, professional manner filled me with confidence that I had found the perfect home for her. Mum always praised the cuisine, and we sampled this ourselves when we joined mum for Christmas lunch. The domestic team were constantly cleaning all areas (no unpleasant odours!).
I can only praise the entire team for their love and compassion shown to Mum and myself, I shall be eternally grateful to them all for making mums last months safe, secure and content, and giving me peace of mind that I'd chosen the best care home for her.
Reply from Deidre Johnson, Home Manager at Barford Court

Thank you for your kind words. I am pleased we had the opportunity to care for your mum and make a difference while she was with us. She settled really well in such a short space of time. We will all miss her.

It is not always easy to get dedicated staff who are prepared to become part of a dedicated team but are employed by an agency when they are committed to obtain a wage/salary; by and large, the staff do a great job, which is much appreciated myself and others. I apologise that my condition is not as
good as it might be, but age and lack of mobility do not allow it.

My mother has lived at Barford Court for two years. Her declining health caused anxiety, weight loss and loneliness despite our continued best efforts. She was sure she did not want to "go into a home". However, she is so happy at Barford, and now is a picture of health and contentment. Our visits are
joyful events, and we no longer have to worry about her wellbeing. We also like the fact that staff are so well trained in dementia care, and there is such good continuity of care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad has only just gone to live at Barford Court, but the difference in the atmosphere and the staff's willingness to assist is fantastic. Covid has been difficult for many of our elderly loved ones, and I knew I needed to move my dad to a home that supported personal family visits in a secure and
private way. Myself, my daughters and my 2-year-old granddaughter have been made to feel very welcome. My dad had never held or hugged his great-granddaughter as she was never allowed inside his previous home as considered a risk. Thank heavens Barford Court values the importance of physical contact, and it was truly magical this week when an 87-year-old man got a cuddle with the little girl he had only been allowed to see at a window for two years. That's definitely a photo for the mantle piece!
The BBQ party for the Jubilee was a much-needed boost for the residents and their families, and it was lovely to see my dad socialising again. We are looking forward to afternoon tea on Father's Day!

My Father and Mother-in-law are both in Barford and have been for a couple of years. From day one we have been met with smiling welcoming staff. Both have been made to feel at home. Our hats go off to the team and residents who have endured so much during the pandemic. As relatives, it has been hard
to know how our loved ones are "really" doing not seeing them as much but being able to communicate with the key team has been vital for us. We have a new appreciation for what carers deal with day in day out. Barford's shift leaders and carers are diamonds. The home always feels and smells clean. The residents are cared for and the care team is creative in helping our loved ones to be comfortable. We have been able to visit them in lots of different ways during the pandemic thanks to continually evolving processes. Thank you to the team and know you are appreciated.

Since our mum needed to sadly go into a care home, we looked long and hard to find a suitable home for her, however we found that during COVID a lot of the homes that we looked at in Lewes and Brighton were not very helpful or realistic with their fees. However, Barford Court and all the staff have
been helpful, compassionate and kind from day one and have our mums best interest at heart in these difficult times for her and the family and friends. We have been able to visit her and lately take her out for short trips which she has enjoyed.

Review from Nigel B (Resident) published on 8 December 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Overall I am happy with the care and support Mum has received since moving to the home and particularly given the additional overhead the staff/management have had to endure with this pandemic. She feels safe and secure and loves the afternoon entertainment/activities organized by Barford. There has
been a lot of staff turnover and sometimes the level of care has intermittently dropped off as a result. However, I don't think that is a unique Barford Court problem and Brexit has not helped in that regard. The home is spotlessly clean, warm and well maintained and I can always reach the front desk/admin staff when calling. The pros vastly outweigh the cons but there are a couple of areas that can be optimized to make life enjoyable and fun during these sunset years e.g balancing the sometimes overly heavy pandemic restrictions vs the need for residents to have their freedom to go out and/or see family, making sure the food is served hot (hot plates), promoting regular video conferencing.

Since being a resident my mother has received a high standard of care without any loss of dignity. Her needs, including medications, have been met in a very professional and well-managed manner by the staff, who cheerfully look after her. The staff have worked hard to maintain a safe Covid free environment
to safeguard the residents, which provides tremendous reassurance to all relatives in these difficult times. The home is managed to an outstanding standard in cleanliness, safety, food and provision of a good balance in attention to residents, whilst at the same time giving suitable freedom of individual choice. There is a very good range of activities on offer to the residents, I believe this area could be further enhanced by an increase in minibus trips (within current Covid management restrictions).
Reply from Deidre Johnson, Home Manager at Barford Court

Thank you for your kind comments which I will pass on to the whole team. We are continually looking at ways to engage with our residents through social engagement and creative activities. Unfortunately, the minibus trips have been impacted by the current Covid restrictions as our drivers are volunteers who have also been isolating. We are looking into training members of our own staff to support our volunteers with the driving to enable extra trips out.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
In Spring 2021, following various incidents and cognitive decline, my Mother was becoming increasingly vulnerable and could no longer be kept safe in her own home. After much soul searching, hours of research, including reviewing CQC reports, and speaking with home managers, I found Barford Court.
The
move to Barford Court has not only given my Mother an improved quality of life, but she is now in professional hands and happier than I have seen her since the death of my Father in 2005.
The impact on me is immense too. She is encouraged to remain independent, eats well, is cared for, treated as an individual with dignity, respect, and kindness by all staff, not just the carers. To turn up to visit and see her looking well, laughing with other residents, and participating in activities she would not previously have considered brings a smile to my face.
Suggestions made are welcomed too.
Thank you to all at Barford Court for making a positive difference to both our lives.

A caring and welcoming environment for my close friend who is visually impaired, following two Strokes. He and other residents are treated with respect and dignity and he is able to move freely within, and when he desires, outside the complex.
I feel he is much safer and comfortable within Barford
Court than he would be trying to make do in his own home. A difficult choice, but the right choice.

My mother has suffered with many losses in the last 2 years, the loss of her cognitive and emotional wellness and having to move out of her home and into Barford Court. I cannot emphasize more how thoughtful, attentive and hardworking the team at Barford Court are in taking care of mum and helping her
adjust to her new life. They are focused on the resident and getting to know their likes and dislikes and providing meaningful activities that are fun and rewarding for mum to do. Covid has complicated everything and they have worked hard to provide visitation of family that is safe for the residents, families and staff. Even with the extra work and stress that Covid has presented the home with, the staff and management are always cheery when I call to speak to my mum.
In addition to management, two ladies deserve a special mention in coordinating a CarePlan for mum and in taking the time to communicate that to me regularly. Thank you to everyone at Barford Court.

Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
I have had a series of poor service issues both during the Covid-19 lockdown and highlighted now. I have finally got access to my mother in the Barford Court home. I have tried to raise and resolve these serious issues directly but after three weeks they have not been properly responded to or effectively
addressed. There is insufficient room to raise all issues here.
Issues:
1. Mum's hearing aid batteries are not being timely replaced. But, also it is apparent they are not assisting her to remove the hearing aid at night and are not opening the battery slot meaning batteries run down in days not weeks, and she has now developed extremely sore ears. My visits have been spoiled as she can't hear, and she is feeling isolated, depressed, and uncared for as she can't communicate.
2. Mum is given other people's old clothes some badly stained, many of her own new clothes are missing.
3. Her personal effects were not properly unpacked and carefully stored, new items brought in have been damaged.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.788)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.788) out of 10 for Barford Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.788 for Barford Court is calculated as follows: ( (183 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 226 Ratings = 4.788
  2. 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 Barford Court is based on 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
