Mum appears to be happy here. She said everyone is very kind to her.
The carers and nurses will listen to any concerns we have. I feel there appear to have been improvements to the care home in the past few weeks. The staff appear more settled and happier working here too.

My husband has been in the care home just over twelve months.
I wasn't impressed with the home the first few months.
But over the past six months, it has improved, the staff are very pleasant and helpful.
I am sure if there is room for improvement they will achieve it.

My sister has been a long-term resident at Barton Brook Care Home and now resides in Irwell House where the unit manager leads a team of staff who are always helpful and upbeat.
They are always happy to engage with my sister and help in communicating with her despite aphasia after a stroke.
The unit
has a happy vibe and a good team of care staff.

This morning, the lovely lady from the office walked around with me to Moss to let me in, this was a great help as I can not stand for very long and sometimes it does take a long time to be let in. I also think it would be a good idea to have some disabled parking, I sometimes find it very hard to park.

Staff are helpful and approachable and under the circumstances, do an excellent job of looking after residents overall.
Any medical issues are dealt with promptly and relatives informed speedily and kept up to date.
In general, amongst care homes, I personally rate Barton Brook Care Home highly.

Cannot praise the staff enough. Caring, efficient and friendly. My dad's happy and enjoys the meals so much. All the staff from carers, cleaners, office staff, management and maintenance workers know the residents by name and often interact talking to them and high-fiving them, so nice to see. The home
is warm, clean and welcoming. Having dementia, he can have good and bad days, but he is always well cared for.

The staff are very caring and efficient. My husband has been a resident for just over a year. Sometimes, his behaviour is challenging, but I have been very impressed by the patience and kindness of the staff. I visit several times a week, and he is always clean and well-dressed. I wouldn't hesitate
to recommend Barton Brown Care Home.

Thank you for taking the time to submit a review for Barton Brook. It is good to hear that overall you think the home is very good. We have been tidying our garden areas up over the last few weeks so residents can enjoy the outdoor space in the summer months.

My husband has been in the home for four weeks, much improved from his hospital stay of 12 weeks. Now eating, food is excellent here. Although he has advanced dementia, he is now much more aware. Nurses are very kind, but I would like him home and have applied for this as I think his quality of life
would improve surrounded by all our family.

Reply from lynn Billingham, Business Development Manager at Barton Brook Care Home

Thank you for your kind review. It is lovely to hear how much improved your husband is since moving into our home. We hope you are able to get your husband home; if you do, remember we would always love to have him back to give you a respite break if needed.

There is a lot of room for improvement and with poor previous care standards, hopefully, 2022 will bring these changes. Currently not a facility to recommend.

Our aim is to always deliver the kindest care to our residents and relatives, and we are sincerely sorry this has not been your experience and for any upset this has caused.

I can only praise all the staff at Barton Brook. Their kindness was apparent at all times. The switchboard staff must be included in that as well. I felt my father was in good hands at all times. Nothing was too much trouble. I thank them all.

For some considerable time now I have been a visitor to your home on a regular basis. I feel that I am in a position to make a due comment.
First I would like to thank ALL your staff for their care and consideration towards my wife and myself, especially during the present situation.
When choosing
Barton Brook as the home for my wife was the best decision I have ever had to make and I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending your home.

Although mum was only admitted in February, meaning I have not been able to enter the home, it is clear from her presentation and demeanor that mum is well looked after and happy in Barton Brook. She always says that everyone is very nice and that nothing is too much trouble (although she would like
to go out!)

I have lived here for 15 years and have found the situation at the home totally acceptable. The home is adequately comfortable and spacious and the facilities are very acceptable. The staff are very helpful and more than capable in their roles as carers. The little garden adds to the general standard
of the home as a whole.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.483)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.483) out of 10 for Barton Brook Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.483 for Barton Brook Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (231 Excellents x 5) + (88 Goods x 4) + (22 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 354 Ratings = 4.483

  • b) 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 Barton Brook Care Home is based on 28 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 120 registered maximum number of service users is 24, which has been reached with 28 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
