The Cottage Wing

Amazing lovely staff, friendly and polite. The place is spotless and clean. The food is varied and tasty. Highly recommended.

When my father arrived at Barton he was immediately assessed and placed into a private room with ensuite. His care throughout has been exemplary, the care staff and nurses are very caring and kind with plenty of time to talk. The cleanliness and hygiene standards are second to none (brilliant) and the food very good. Thank you to all of team for the care and compassion shown to my father.

Excellent care in the lovely, friendly and efficient cottage wing. The staff especially go to great lengths to be helpful and caring. I can't thank them enough for making my stay so happy and memorable. Thank you to you all.

A wonderful old style 'cottage hospital' with staff that have time to both care for their patients physical needs but also mental ones. They treat people with compassion and respect while looking after them and build relationships which really help. A really nice hospital wing with a team of dedicated staff.

My mum was placed at Barton Cottage from October 24 to February 25. During her time there the care she received was exceptional, my mum was very poorly and had bed sores when she arrived at Barton, due to the care and attention she received she was a different person. No bed sores, always clean (no smell) and the staff were confident, kind, empathetic and attentive. My mum would have loved to have stopped there.

My mum was transferred to The Cottage Wing from hospital for palliative care. My mum was only expected to last a few days but was actually at Barton Cottage for 7-8 weeks. The Cottage Wing itself is a lovely, peaceful, spotlessly clean place and the facilities for patients and relatives are excellent. The staff are all very friendly, kind, compassionate and caring. They treat both patients and their families with care and respect. They are always willing to answer any questions regarding care. On the day of my mum's death quite a few family members were at the hospital to say goodbye. My daughter had to bring her youngest daughter with her and the staff supplied her with a box full of crafting supplies to play with. We, as a family, cannot thank the whole team of staff enough for the care and compassion shown to my wonderful mum in her last few weeks. I would highly recommend Barton Cottage to anyone.

This is an excellent care facility. The rooms are high class, meeting toileting needs, meals are ample and varied, whilst management staff are available for help and advice. The tension built up, in a NHS hospital, after a complex leg/knee operation, was soon alleviated by the caring and kind staff. The physiotherapy is especially to be commended. The tactic to build up strength in the leg and body was a noticeable improvement on earlier experience. The approach using exercises (well-explained) was very thorough, not rushed, but a build-up to give a gradual improvement to mobility. Many thanks for your good work.

Thank you, Cottage Wing!

Current resident receiving end-of-life care, I have been treated with kindness and compassion by all the staff. Nothing is too much trouble, they have helped make a very difficult time more bearable. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Cottage Wing.

Overall, while the time was difficult for us, the compassionate care and calm environment at Barton Cottage were invaluable, and we are grateful for the support they provided during this period.

Bedrooms are pleasant and spacious, reception area, hallway and my nan's bedroom always appear clean with no bad odours. Staff are friendly, willing to assist and approachable. Meals seem nutritious, and warm and are presented well. Menus provides a choice of meals for Nan to choose from and I was present to see a carer help Nan choose her options. Some staff have offered me a drink on arrival, which has been appreciated with me travelling 40 minutes away to visit Nan. So far my nan has received good care and has been treated with respect. Staff have been gentle when having to assist Nan with her personal hygiene. Also, the manager was very supportive and compassionate towards me.

Excellent facility. Staff friendly and caring. Food excellent. Enjoyed my stay here. Physios excellent and they helped me get back on my feet and moving again.

Clean, comfortable and very friendly. The staff appeared genuinely pleased to help.

Excellent, friendly staff. Professional, attentive and caring for all needs (nothing is too much trouble). Clean, pleasant, modern facilities. Food very good - freshly made and provided hot/cold as needed. Very welcoming. I am very fortunate to be provided with this care, they cater for all needs (mine being physical due to an accident at home). I'm thankfully on the road to getting better with this help and support and physio input too.

Although our mom was only with Barton Cottage for a short while, the care that she received was excellent. The nurses and carers were compassionate, and attentive, and took the time to explain things to us as a family. They helped make Mom's final few days as comfortable as possible which was a great help to us as a family. Special thanks go to a particular member of staff who was on duty the night Mom passed away, holding her hand so she wasn't on her own.

Barton Cottage Hospital has friendly, professional staff. Set in a lovely location and the rooms are very clean and homely. They cater for Mum's needs with a smile. Mum's health definitely improved while staying here and she is sad to leave here.

The care, the food and attention have been first-class!

My uncle received wonderful care and support following his spell in hospital. Everything about his stay at The Cottage Wing was faultless. We were told that no one wants to leave The Cottage Wing, much to our surprise this was the same case for Uncle. We really did not expect him to settle so well at a place so out of his comfort zone. Thank you to all of the staff who supported him during a very difficult period in his life.

My wife was only in one of the two palliative care rooms for six days. I cannot fault the care and support she received from the staff. They succeeded in making her pain-free during the last days of her life, so died peacefully.

Thanks again to everyone at Barton Cottage.
