The standard of hygiene second to none. I cannot put into words how I feel about the care. Attention and friendliness given to me and every single person in Barton Brook - amazing. I would not hesitate to stay here again if need be. Even the garden is pretty to sit in with seats and benches. I can not
thank all the staff and HC-One enough. Very grateful.

My husband was well cared for. Staff were always accommodating and friendly and we could discuss his care with ease. The treatment given to him was the best. They gave the best care and advice. It took all the worries away from us regarding his welfare. Thank you for everything.

During the time I have been here in Barton Brook Care Home I have received care, understanding and friendship from all the staff. I was poorly when I arrived but upon leaving I am now ready to go home and cope with help at home. I have kept my dignity and it has been a pleasure to have been a patient
at Barton Brook and also given me my confidence back.

We had been caring for mum at home with the help of carers. Mum's dementia became worse and she no longer safe and she had lost weight.
On admission to the home, everything improved, the care and attention to detail for her wellbeing improved in the first week.
Our worries were taken away and mum
is settled and happy. Cannot fault the care she receives.

My mother-in-law has been in Moss House, Barton Brook now for 12 months. She is very happy and enjoys the company of others. Staff are very caring and helpful and she enjoys the food she is given. Her room is always tidy and she always looks clean and well presented.

Excellent care, great food with varied menus. Staff and carers treat my dad with care and dignity, making him feel at home and listening to him. Management are always onsite to talk to. The office staff are brilliant and very helpful - they all made the transition into a home very easy for the family
and my dad.

My mum has been on intermediate care for 5 weeks on Irwell House and has today been discharged. Our opinion as a family would like to say thanks for the care, kindness and respect from all the staff on this unit, you have all been absolutely brilliant and although you have a hard job to do you still
found time for my mum who is trying to keep her independence and you the staff let her do that, so thank you all so much.

In the short time my father has been in the care home, I have found the staff to be very caring, friendly and lovely with my father. The home is very clean, smells fresh and tidy. The atmosphere in the home is very relaxed and the residents seem happy whenever I visit.
My father is cared for well in
the moss care section.

Friendly and helpful staff. It seems a little understaffed for the number of residents. My aunt said the food was poor.

My father has been a resident since March 2019. He suffers from Alzheimer's disease and was very reluctant to go into care. Despite that, he has settled in very well and has accepted being in a care home. He is now the most relaxed and content we have seen him in a long time. The staff are kind, caring
and enjoy having him there.

Staff are most helpful as they can be. They work hard and don't mind giving assistance when needed and they treat you with dignity and understanding. On the whole they are very caring and helpful as well as talking to you as a friend and have a laugh with you.

We were apprehensive at my mother going into a care home away from everything that was familiar to her. How our minds were eased when we walked in to see the residents all sat smiling and happy being entertained by a wonderful singer after an afternoon tea party.l We cried. Thank you so much for making
my mother feel so welcomed. Such caring staff 10/10.

My son was in for some time whilst he recovered from several operations after a RTA last year. I can honestly say the staff were fantastic with him, very polite, friendly and professional. The standard of care he received was brilliant. The home's standards were just as good. The home was clean each
time I visited which was daily, the standard of food was good. Overall I certainly would recommend Barton Brook to anyone who was thinking of using the service.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.293)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.293) out of 10 for Barton Brook Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.293 for Barton Brook Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (225 Excellents x 5) + (99 Goods x 4) + (42 Satisfactorys x 3) + (13 Poors x 2) + (14 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 393 Ratings = 4.293
  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 Barton Brook Care Home is based on 29 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 120 registered maximum number of service users is 24, which has been reached with 29 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.
