Barking Hall is a well-established care home set in beautiful surroundings just outside Needham Market in Suffolk. The dedicated team provides quality residential, nursing, and respite care, offering long-term carers a well-deserved break or holiday. Barking Hall supports residents with a range of needs, including dementia and frail physical health.

The home’s scenic countryside location, with its tranquil fountain and the sound of nearby church bells, makes it a sought-after choice for those needing palliative care. Many of the warm, caring staff are from the local community, adding to the home’s welcoming atmosphere.

Each en-suite bedroom is fully furnished, complete with telephone and TV points, but residents are encouraged to bring their own furniture and personal belongings to create a true ‘home-from-home’ feel.

Residents have access to an optician and chiropodist by appointment, and the in-house hair salon offers everything from cuts to manicures and hand massages. The head chef and catering team serve tasty, home-cooked meals, with special diets fully catered.

With two activities coordinators, residents can enjoy a variety of engaging options, from social events to quiet, individual pursuits – all tailored to personal interests and preferences.

My Father went to Barking Hall for end-of-life care and was greeted by caring and friendly staff. His room was clean and comfortable looking out to the courtyard. Staff were always very caring towards my Mother as well when visiting and always had a smile and offered a cup of tea and cake making visiting
very much easier in the circumstances. Was always kept up to date regarding his care. We would highly recommend Barking Hall to anyone looking for care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum was a resident at Barking Hall for almost two years until she passed away in December. During that time, she was so well looked after by all the staff and could not have been in a better place to care for her advanced dementia. I don't live locally but felt totally confident that my mum received
the best possible care and was treated with dignity. My dad visited her every day and was always made to feel welcome and involved by all the staff, whether management, medical/nursing or domestic. The home itself has the feel of a traditional country house and is beautifully located in peaceful surroundings. Mum's room was comfortable and clean, with its own bathroom. I cannot thank Barking Hall staff enough for the kindness and respect they showed me, Mum and Dad, as Mum reached the end of life.

Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Food is bland and poorly cooked. Fabric of the building is tired, dated and in a poor decorative state. Carpets stained. Staff poorly motivated, local managers do not last long! Non-UK staff tell residents that they have to send wages back to their country of origin. This care home lacks the ability
to care. Maintenance is very poor (two weeks to fix toilets in rooms). Cooks do not last long in this establishment, hence poor food. The upper level fire escape is constructed of metal and very slippery when wet. It also has brambles growing into it from the adjoining bank and partially blocking it, not ideal for elderly patients. Management lacks the ability or compassion to run this establishment.
Reply from Rebecca Watkins, National Operations Manager at Barking Hall Nursing Home

We very much understand your frustration that we felt it necessary to take the extreme measure of removing your right to visit your friend at the home, and naturally it concerns us that you have now taken the action of leaving this negative review to express your frustration.
We are enormously proud of Barking Hall and the standards of care it provides and our otherwise positive feedback reflects this.

Review from L H (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 5 April 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
After being advised our grandmother is now having end-of-life treatment, myself and my sister visited her today. I asked the frosty lady who "greeted" us on arrival if a syringe driver was in situ as yet as this is what I was advised by members of my family who had spent all night with her. I was met
was a snappy "she doesn't need one". There was clearly some confusion which can happen but the response we received was as though we had personally offended this member of staff just by asking a question. She continued to be hostile with us so I asked why she treating us that way. She denied being hostile, she advised us she is the deputy manager and when I asked for an apology she stormed out of my grandmother's room and slammed the door. I'm very upset, it was very distressing and couldn't have happened at a worse time. It's a shame as other staff members have been wonderful. I'm so shocked to have this kind of treatment from management.
Reply from Sue Oates, Manager at Barking Hall Nursing Home

I am so very sorry that your family has had this experience at such a sad time in your lives. How really awful for you and what a great shame you didn’t come to speak to me about this, as I would have actioned this immediately.
Whilst I realise nothing can detract from this experience, please rest assured I am taking the strongest possible action regarding this incident
Barking Hall is generally a warm and friendly place where people choose to come and spend their last months or years and your grandmother was I know highly thought of amongst the staff team and is very much missed by us all.


I will contact you to discuss the matter further.

Review from Ron R (Husband of Resident) published on 26 March 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife went into Barking Hall on 16th February 2023 for four weeks respite care and from the minute she set foot inside the home she was treated with care and compassion from all the staff. Nothing was too much trouble and everyone was so caring and happy in their work and went out of their way to
ensure that she enjoyed her stay there. From carers to domestic staff, to the nurses and the kitchen staff, all were so kind to her and to myself when I visited. They must have gotten fed up with me spending seven hours a day there, constantly getting in their way! Two staff members were very helpful and always had time to stop for a chat. The food was brilliant, my wife ate better than she has done in a long time. I will certainly miss my daily visit and the best thing for me was when she said If she ever have to go into a home permanently she would want to come to Barking Hall. Thank you again for all you have done for my wife.

From the initial visit to look around and subsequent stay of my father, I was highly impressed with Barking Hall Nursing Home. All of the staff were extremely friendly, and nothing was too much trouble. The food always looked nice, and the bedrooms are of a very high standard. The deputy manager was
especially helpful with everything. I would not hesitate to recommend this care home to anybody considering having a family member reside there. Well done, everyone, you are doing a marvellous job.

My nan stayed at Barking Hall recently for some respite care. She lives on her own since my Grandad died last year. Barking Hall is just great, they welcomed her with open arms and treated her really well. The food she says was really lovely, home-cooked meals - just what she likes. Her favourite was
the cream tea she had for her birthday. The staff have been in touch with her since she came home, just to see how she is doing. Can't fault anything. They all work so hard trying to help everyone. The Manager is first-rate, running everything behind the scenes.

The staff at Barking Hall have worked very hard to keep standards of care high within all the Covid restrictions. At times staffing has been stretched to their limits but somehow they have coped. I would like to see staff rewarded when restrictions are lifted in some way. I feel they need to know how
valuable they are. Thank you.
Reply from Bela Bogacs, Deputy Manager at Barking Hall Nursing Home

Thank you so much for your lovely review. I know our amazing Home Manager has worked really hard to support all our lovely staff to give the best care to our residents throughout the Covid pandemic. She even moved in to the home in June last year when Covid was at its height to ensure our residents were safe and well looked after and the staff properly supported. Be assured their efforts have not gone unnoticed.
I know I speak for all the staff at Barking Hall when I say they couldn't have done it without the leadership of our Manager. Our whole team really is the very best - I am so glad I have recently joined them.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I went to stay at Barking Hall Nursing Home at the end of May. This will be my third respite visit. Since my husband died in the summer of last year I have lived on my own and became rather unwell of late. The stay at Barking Hall resolved my appetite loss, lovely home-cooked traditional food every
day. The staff who looked after me were really sweet, I was assisted to have a soak in the bath nearly every day I was there. Such a delight, I can't manage my bath at home. I had my hair done and they decorated my room with balloons for my birthday and I had a cream tea and a lovely birthday cake in the afternoon. Although I enjoy my independence, it is so lovely not to have to worry about anything and have a smiling face waking me up in the morning with a nice cup of tea and breakfast in bed. Barking Hall staff really are lovely and caring, thank you. I will miss you all

After looking at a few nursing homes before Mum moved into Barking Hall, I felt the this was the homely one for her and close to her family. Mum was always treated with kindness, caring, patience and a sense of humour! Entertainment staff, in particular, have been excellent in enabling me to either
FaceTime or speak with her on the phone during these difficult times. All the staff worked very hard to keep her happy and comfortable through this difficult time. We knew she was in safe hands and her final days were made a little bit easier by the staff kindness to Mum and also to me and my family. Thank you, everybody, for your outstanding care and compassion and I'd highly recommend Barking Hall for a relative/friend.

My sister-in-law was a resident for the past 2 years. She was very happy and thought of the staff as her family. She joined in all the activities and really loved the days out the staff organised.
I and my sister were also made very welcome when we visited, and we cannot praise Barking Hall enough

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.480)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.480) out of 10 for Barking Hall Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.480 for Barking Hall Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (177 Excellents x 5) + (80 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 281 Ratings = 4.48
  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 Barking Hall Nursing Home is based on 23 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 49 registered maximum number of service users is 9.8, which has been reached with 23 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.
