Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
On Saturday 7 th July Barton Brook , Eccles held their Summer Fair.
As we arrived we were met with a colourful array of stalls manned by dedicated staff and supporters.
The atmosphere was full of energy , happiness and dedication.
The staff went over and beyond their roles by dressing up , dancing
and being full of energy .
The residents were treated to a very special day .
Thank you to all.

The staff at Barton Brook are always very helpful and caring, they work hard to provide a lovely environment for the residents to live in.
I have just been to the summer fair which demonstrated the energy they have with gazebos, cake stalls, tombolas, music and laughter. All this in a week when the
residents had also had a day out at a local pub function.


Well done to all and thank you for your care.

When I visit my Mum on Montonhouse at Barton Brook, I am always given a warm welcome by the staff. I am always updated about my Mum by the Manager. She and her team are a lovely bunch of staff. I know my Mum is always looked after, I have no doubts. Never worry as I know Mum is happy living there.
Keep up the fantastic work you all do.

My mums care over the last five years has been excellent. The staff brilliant, approachable and where possible solve any problems that we have had.
Obviously, the cost is a big factor. Everybody would like one to one care but not possible because of the cost. Barton Brook have looked after my mum
for five years. There have been issues but every one has been solved to everybody's satisfaction.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.503)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.503) 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 4.5 out of 5 from 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.503 for Barton Brook Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (230 Excellents x 5) + (79 Goods x 4) + (20 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 342 Ratings = 4.503
  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 27 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 120 registered maximum number of service users is 24, which has been reached with 27 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.
