Over all time Barham Care Home has 50 reviews.
The staff are very friendly, nothing being too much trouble. Both their respective care needs are met on a daily basis, without question. I would without a doubt recommend this care home to anybody.
Nice care home. Staff are very friendly.Home is well laid out and very clean. Rooms are nice, great care home.
I have been visiting Barham for about 7 years. The management are always helpful and encourage to visit patients who are like minded or who would enjoy a visit.
My wife, now deceased, and I (a few years ago), invited a group of them to our home and garden for a BBQ and a wonderful time was had by all.
The doctor comes in every week so I am able to discuss anything which I am worried about.
When my husband first went into the home he was able to get in his chair with help from carers and a hoist and go into the lounge and join with the activities which he was encouraged to do. Every Monday the staff bring round a program telling you what goes on for the week.
They even take residents out on little trips if they are capable and want to, my husband went and enjoyed it very much.
Food very good, the staff very good if people don't like what they order they will make them something else, so obliging.
And enough staff to help feed residents if needed.
Visitors can always make themselves a drink and sometimes homemade cakes.
The cleaners come into his room every day more than once as some people forget you use the bin.
The wash is done to a high standard, all his clothes are looked after well.
He had a drawer come out and could not put it back and a clock stopped working. Just spoke to staff and was done that day.
My husband's sight is very bad from the stroke and he was very frightened so he used to hit out and swear at the poor carers. They are very good and now he has got to know them he is a lot calmer most of the time.
Until you go into a care home you don't know how hard the staff work.
They are special people and Barham Care Home has a lot of them. I for one say thank you.
Mum is always clean and fresh and well looked after.
We visited a few homes but Barham was the one we walked into and immediately knew it was the 'home from home' we wanted for mum. There is a lovely friendly, calm atmosphere and we always felt mum was happy and comfortable there. The staff made us feel welcome and that nothing was too much trouble. We very much like that residents are able to wander about their home and there are no long corridors with a locked door at the end. The staff made an effort to learn about mum's life, interests and favourite food and drink all helping to make her time there happy and enjoyable. At the end of mum's life she was treated with exceptional kindness and compassion and everyone helped us through the difficult time. I am so happy that we found such a warm and welcoming 'home from home' for mum.
Our mum was well cared for and happy. There are activities each day if they want to join in. Our mum was treated as an individual and the staff made time to learn what she liked. We felt she was safe. At the end of our mum's life she and us were treated with compassion and staff showed they cared which helped to make a difficult time easier.
We were so lucky that Barham Care Centre made a room available for Dad. Their care for him, and us, was exceptional. You could not find a better home. Every single member of staff went out of their way to provide the best care possible. Dad's medical needs were quite complex; the nurses met these needs better than the hospital, and in such a caring, friendly way, with a sense of humour and with a focus on maintaining Dad's dignity. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
The staff went out of their way to ensure this happened,and we are so grateful they did.
Their care for Dad (and us) was exceptional.
Everyone,regardless of their role treated Dad with kindness,
consideration,dignity and love...as if he was a part of their own family.
There aren't enough descriptive words to express how great they all are!
Highly, highly, highly (to infinity) recommend.
I find Barham to be a very welcoming and friendly atmosphere. I would gladly recommend the service to friends and family who need a nursing home. One of my favorite things about the Centre is that there are regular outside entertainers that visit the home.
