Mum entered the home on the 20th of August as a temporary resident. The fact that she settled so well says a lot about the staff who run the home. We decided to make this a permanent residency because of the staff and how well the home looks after its residents and also their families.

My mum lived at Barnston Court for six months. she was severely brain damaged and needed 24 hour care/nursing. All staff treated my mum fantastically. They keep her clean and treated her with dignity and respect at all times. I felt extremely comfortable leaving her after visit knowing she was being
cared for. Staff also treated myself and family very well.

My partner went into Barnston Court for end-of-life care. Although he was only in for 24 hours the care and attention he received was very good one carer sat with him through the night as his condition worsened. All staff were excellent and it is a comfort to me that he was cared for with respect and
dignity.

Although he was only there for 24 hours, the dignity and respect were second to none for our (step) dad and our family. His end-of-life care was excellent and he was never in pain or uncomfortable. Rest assured if your loved one goes to Barnston Court Care Home they will receive A1 treatment.

The care he received when at Barnston Court Care Home was fantastic whilst looking after other residents. They also made sure we were all ok too, made us feel comfortable at all times - made us tea or coffee, kept popping in to make sure we were ok and especially the resident that was there for end-of-life
care. They were caring, respectful and very understanding.

The staff are friendly, they could be around more to see to mum's needs as she is bedbound.
The food is great, the room is tired-looking and needs redecorating.
Mum's left in dirty pads so sore underneath. not encouraged to use a bedpan.
Reply from lynn Billingham, Business Development Manager at Barnston Court Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to submit a review. We realise how difficult it is for family members when their loved one moves into a care home. We'd like to reassure you that the Manager has an open door policy and is always happy to discuss any concerns you may have, even the option to move your mum to another room. The Manager is arranging to meet with you to discuss your concerns in more detail.

My brother was very happy with the care he received at Barnston Court. He was treated with dignity at all times and was clean-shaven, clean and comfortable. He was the most comfortable he had been in a long time and thought of home and wanted to end his days here rather than go into hospital.

Mum was admitted via a fast-track discharge from the hospital at short notice, and as a family, we could not be happier as this was our first placement of choice. The care and support offered to our mum have been excellent, as stated. All the staff are caring and compassionate, and our mum has settled
well.

Mum has been living at Barnston Court since July 2021. She has been very well looked after and cared for by all the staff. All staff are extremely hard working and dedicated to the residents. The home is very well led by the manager and her team. The family are kept well informed, and nothing is too
much trouble. Mum has had a number of health-related issues whist she has lived at Barston Court, which have been dealt with quickly, efficiently and kindly, keeping us informed at all times. Throughout Covid, measures have always been in place to prevent cross infections. Family is very happy.

My Aunt has lived at Barnston Court Care Home for just over three and half years and I know she is very happy, safe and well cared for by a friendly dedicated team of staff. She has a lovely room and she tells me the food is excellent. My communication experience with the home is very good, I am contacted
if there are any concerns, and if I ring or message them, I always get a speedy response. Barnston Court seems to provide many different activities for the residents and they make super efforts for special events. Everyone went above and beyond to make my Aunt's 100th birthday last year and her 101st birthday last weekend wonderful and memorable occasions. I live quite a distance away so it is nice to feel reassured that my aunt is so well looked after, and in her own words, 'we couldn't have picked a better place for her to live'.

Always find everyone in the care home friendly and cheerful, always happy to help, not just my mum but myself included. I ask my mum every time I come and visit if she is happy with her care, and most importantly, safe, and her answer is always yes. Mum especially likes the night staff.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.748)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.748) out of 10 for Barnston Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.748 for Barnston Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (109 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 139 Ratings = 4.748
  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 Barnston Court Care Home is based on 12 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 12 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.
