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 husband spent the last week of his life at Barking Hall. He was very poorly with Parkinson's and the staff, carers and nurses were so kind and gave him excellent care with dignity. The staff were very kind and helpful to all the family when they visited him.

Review from Maureen M (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 August 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our mum came to Barking Hall in May 2015 from hospital and the wonderful staff addressed her medical problems and despite her dementia, restored her dignity and quality of life, enabling her to experience 4 years of comfort, companionship and expert nursing care.
As a family visiting regularly, we
were always made to feel welcome and we were also kept informed of mum's needs and her situation. She sadly passed away on August 6th aged 93. As she declined, my sister and I were able to spend her last 3 precious days sitting with her and see at first hand the intense, personal and dedicated end of life care, which was superb.
As her daughters, we were looked after at such a sad and difficult time with kindness and empathy. Throughout mum's residency, each and every member of staff has shown her great respect and genuine affection.
She was a valued part of the Barking Hall family, for which we will always be truly grateful.
Reply from Sue Oates, Manager at Barking Hall Nursing Home

Thank you for your lovely review. It was a pleasure to look after your Mum, she was already part of the Barking Hall family when I got here. I am so glad you got to spend time with her before she left us.

I've been visiting Barking Hall for the last 6 months with my sister. All we see are friendly faces working and caring for the residents. The activities and entertainment days out are excellent. Both I and my sister wish we had come to Barking Hall with our dear dad, we chose one closer to home but
the journey would have been worth it. We also noticed how all the staff have such good teamwork, they all muck in together.

Today I visited my aunt. Since coming into Barking Hall, she has gained self-confidence and become mobile, thanks to the efforts of a great home. I have to say staff are extremely polite, I am greeted by all.
The home manager has an open door policy and is approachable, which is excellent.
The food
served is of a high standard.
We are always offered refreshments.

My mother stayed in Barking Hall 6-18 months and the family were extremely pleased with the quality of the care, kindness and compassion shown to her and ourselves.
The Hall was a cosy, welcoming place to visit and always smelt fresh and clean. We looked at several nursing homes before Mum moved into
Barking Hall and this one felt the most homely. I would thoroughly recommend it for a relative/friend.

Review from Paul S (Son of Resident) published on 4 January 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
My mother was not treated on the whole with dignity. Staff had no knowledge or training of my mother's needs, which on occasion left her in distress. This is a home that requires a major overhaul on all practices. Despite numerous requests on how my mother liked her food, most of the time it was inedible.
Reply from Sue Oates, Manager at Barking Hall Nursing Home

Paul, I am so sorry we did not meet your expectations for Mum. As you know our nursing team were fully versed in dealing with Mums needs and worked hard to achieve a solution that was workable, efficient & comfortable. We arranged several visits from the local nurse specialist and GP and these professionals really felt we had achieved a good result.
Several of our care staff developed a really warm rapport with mum, she enjoyed her trip out with our activities team and loved the picture they made for her bedroom. She said that no one had ever made a picture for her before and she always had a good word for the team
Most of our residents and their families love the food here at Barking Hall. I understand Mums tastes were quite specific. However, the catering team put in a lot of time and effort to try and tempt her palate, even visiting the local butcher for that pork chop she wanted. You know they kept a diary of the things she liked to eat and were so pleased when they got it right. She complimented the Regional Head Chef on his apple strudel and definitely enjoyed her fish & chips or scampi on a Friday.
I realise we can't always please everyone and am more than happy to discuss this with you further at a time of your choosing. We welcome input from all our families. I do hope you and Mum had an enjoyable Christmas and wish you both a Happy New Year

My father was admitted to Barking Hall several weeks before his passing. From the time of admission he was treated with care, dignity and respect by all of the care providers and management. I was able to visit at any time and stay as long as I wished. I was notified of any changes to his condition
by the staff and offered any assistance I required. I couldn't fault any aspect of the care and facilities at Barking Hall and would have no hesitation recommending this establishment. I am very grateful that my father's last weeks were spent here as was he.

My Grandad was looked after by some of the most caring members of staff I have ever net. The hospital never gave him long to live however he picked up a lot while in your care until we lost him. His last few weeks he was alive were almost the best he had been for a few months. Your staff deserve medals
for what they all did for my Grandad.

When my dad came to this home from hospital he wasn't a well man. The staff at Barking Hall was absolutely amazing. They supported him and us throughout his stay, they were very attentive. All the nurses and carers really did work hard to provide for his needs and they delivered every single time. They
really are worth their weight in gold. Thank you so much for bringing my dad back to us! To the management... if there is any in-house bonus or reward scheme then they definitely deserve to be recognised for their commitment that they showed me and my dad. THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN.

My grandma was always well looked after and happy at the home.

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.
