Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Barons Park Nursing Home is the first of three homes that have been able to meet my mum's needs, and they did this with compassion, dignity, respect and patience. I can't say how much this means to myself and my four siblings.
A recent Jubilee family event of Barons reinforced this when it was evident
how much our Mum and other residents were thought of and cared well for, and it was a wonderful event that will always have the meaning of precious time together.

Staff at Barons Park are very friendly and are very caring with the residents. They always appear genuine and compassionate. The amount of organising and effort made for the Jubilee was amazing, resulting in residents and their families having a fantastic day. Well done to the manager and the staff
at Barons Park.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad is currently a resident. The staff are lovely, and they treat my dad very well, which is not an easy task as he can be a nightmare, and even I have fallen out with him on numerous occasions because of his bad attitude! He complains if they don't come running as soon as he rings the bell, which
I've explained to him they are very busy and have other residents to look after. From my experience of working with the elderly in community hospitals, I know how they can exaggerate the truth, and my dad is one of them! The staff just take it in their stride. They are always giving him drinks and lovely food, his clothes are washed, ironed and folded beautifully, and they have great banter with him. Also, took him out for Sunday lunch, which he loved. My dad is very happy there. I highly recommend this place. The manager, receptionist, carers, students, kitchen staff and domestics are all wonderful.

I felt supported throughout the last year of my husband's life. Very caring staff. My husband's room always smelt and looked clean although a couple of sockets needed repairing. My husband was spoken to with respect and attention was always given in recent days an activity lady gave my husband things
to do. Clothes were put away clean and tidy.

I would definitely recommend Barons Park to anyone. My mum has been there for nearly two years. She settled in very quickly and is always happy and content. Alwats smartly dressed and kept clean. Covid has been difficult, but I am confident knowing Mum is being looked after. All the staff have been
wonderful, from management, carers, cleaners, everybody! Thanks.

An amazing care home, staff are so lovely, they communicate with the family very well, informing us about everything. During the hard times of coronavirus, they set up a visiting pod outside so we can still see my grandad which is amazing. Would recommend this place to anyone, really an amazing carehome.

I would recommend Barons Park, as he is well looked after by the carers especially, and the nursing staff. My only criticism is when they have bank staff in, they are not briefed enough on the residents and how to treat them.

Review from Kate G (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 May 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Dad has only been at the home for a few weeks, in the Hastings Unit. It was a difficult decision choosing the home as we didn't want dad to be moved again. He has complex needs. I was given my own fob to access the home, whenever I visited, and I did most days, at different times (up until the home
went into lockdown). My sister and I decided on Barons Park as we felt that the home would be able to meet his needs (We were completely reassured of this when we were first shown around the home). It was a gamble but wow what a great decision. The carers are of different ages, some early twenty's - my sister and I could not be happier with the level of care provided. There is a genuine adoration for all the residents, the carers really do show so much affection to each and every person even during the difficult times. Sadly, COVID-19 has prevented us from visiting dad but we phone nearly every day and these amazing carers always provide us with an update. Thank you so much. Be proud. Amazing.

Having never heard of this home, we were slightly unsure of what to expect. But once through their doors, we found it to have a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The staff are well trained and look after the residents in a caring and considerate manner, in a safe and secure environment. The rooms
are very clean and comfortable and the home-cooked food is excellent. After the excellent care my husband has received, I would be very pleased to recommend Barons Park to anybody.

Mum has had excellent care over the (nearly) six years she has lived at Barons Park. The staff are always friendly and welcoming and treat mum with affection and kindness. I would recommend Barons Park to anyone looking for a care home for a loved one.

All round the staff do a good job despite being called in on days off due to a shortage of staff. My wife has been in Barons Park for just over 2 years and the information I receive about her is excellent. My only concern is when my wife is in her room alone how often is she checked especially at night.

I was recommended by a psychiatrist to go to Barons Park Nursing Home and was able to get in as my wife had been there on respite. A doctor said she must go into a nursing home and I went with them in Nov 2011 after several years of caring at home. From stories I have heard, it was so much better than
many others. No fixed visiting hours. Friendly welcome.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.854)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.854) out of 10 for Barons Park Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.854 for Barons Park Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (201 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 233 Ratings = 4.854
  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 Barons Park Nursing Home is based on 20 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 46 registered maximum number of service users is 9.2, which has been reached with 20 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.
