The staff are caring and attentive. I appreciate that they acknowledge and respond to my mother's interests and wishes. Any requests (/and repairs) are dealt with quickly and efficiently. I also like that I can tell there is always an effort to improve things in the care home rather than simply maintain the status quo. Overall, I am impressed with Barnes Court Care Centre and recommend it when people ask about the place.
Thank you so much for the review and the kind feedback. We aim to continually improve as a service and as a team to ensure our residents are given the best care, their families feel welcome and supported.
We were worried about how...
We were worried about how he would settle, as he is very active and needs constant stimulation, but the staff have been absolutely brilliant with him. Before moving in, he rarely ate full meals and refused to shower. Within days, he was eating three full meals a day and showering regularly, which shows the experience and dedication of the team.
We were also concerned about losing contact, but we're encouraged to call anytime and we always receive detailed updates from all members of staff we speak to, which is very reassuring. We know he is safe, cared for, and in the best hands.
I cannot recommend Barnes Court's management and staff enough!
Thank you for your kind review, its always are main priority to ensure the health and happiness of our residents and to help make the transision as smooth as possible for their loved ones.

My mother has been in residence for just over 1yrs there were several issues early on. I now feel very comfortable with her situation. The home is now a pleasant, comfortable and moreover safe place that is the closest to home as its ever been. The staff and management are approachable and responsive and care now seems to be the main thing.

The carers, nursing and management staff are all very friendly, compassionate and professional making me feel very welcome. Accomodation is comfortable and the food is delicious. I would recommend the care home to those who need care.

Since my husband was transferred from hospital to Barnes Court I have felt he is receiving the care he needs. He settled in quite well and seems to be comfortable. The staff have been very warm and re-assuring, they are always attentive and do what they can to meet his needs. From carers, domestics...
When my husband first arrived he wanted to stay in bed all day but the staff have gradually got him up and integrated with other residents in the lounge and now he really enjoys it.
Overall the home has a welcoming and positive atmosphere and I would definitely recommend it.
Thank you so much for your kind review, we are happy to hear that you and your Husband have had a great experience with us at Barnes Court so far. We will pass your lovely words on to the wider team.
Overall, very happy with the home and care my mother is receiving. All staff are very attentive and caring, and my mother is very happy in her surroundings. She has a good, spacious room and is very well fed. The home is very clean and tidy, and all my mother's needs are well catered for.

Thank you for leaving such a lovely review, we are glad your Mother is happy in our home, and will pass your comments on to the team as this is much appreciated.
Basic care is ok, it's the small things that get missed, i.e. false teeth not in, no glasses on, hair brushed, teeth not cleaned. Often short-staffed, so care is unable to be given to the standard the staff want to.

Always someone around if there are any questions. My aunty is there on a temporary basis until decisions are made but currently, she is quite happy there.

My sister was admitted to Barnes Court Care Centre following a spell in hospital. It was the first time she had stayed away from the family home alone. Due to her mental and physical disabilities, it was very difficult to start trusting others to understand her very special needs. Over a year down the line, my sister is thriving at Barnes Court. She interacts with all the staff and other residents and seems to enjoy her days there. The staff are very caring and attentive and it's a comfort to know nursing staff are at hand 24 hours. Knowing that my sister is settled and happy and in good care is a huge relief.
Since moving into Barnes Court Care Centre, my daughter has settled into her new environment with ease with the brilliant support from the staff and carers. She now has a structured bedtime, now sits at a dining table for meals, has company throughout the day, both with carers and other residents,...
She always looks clean and tidy which I found difficult to do. Her communication with others has also improved as she had very little stimulation on a day-to-day basis. I would recommend Barnes Court 100%.

After visiting my husband every other day since he settled in at Barnes Court Care Centre on 27th February 2024, I feel confident enough to give my opinion of the care system to residents at Barnes Court. I am pleased at the way my husband has settled here and am happy at the way food and activities are handled. The staff are all very respectful and warm-hearted to the residents. I would certainly recommend this care home to anyone needing the support they can give.
It was a very difficult and stressful time when my mam, who has dementia, went into Barnes Court as it was in the middle of the pandemic. We were on lockdown, so I was unable to settle her in, and then later only able to see her under very strict visiting restrictions. From the first moment, the...
Nearly 4 years later, the staff are still great. They are warm, friendly and nothing is too much trouble. From the domestics, admin, nurses and manager, they are all approachable.
The nurses have consoled me a few times, when I have been upset after some difficult visits with my mam, which I appreciated.
My mam is always clean and presentable and it puts her family's minds at rest knowing she is safe, well and secure.
I know I will be contacted if she is poorly etc., and will be kept informed of her progress if I am asked not to visit for a few days.
I have had nothing but help and care since I have lived at Barnes Court Care Centre. If I haven't been happy with something it is quickly resolved with new management.

I'm not one who normally posts reviews, however, I feel I need to on this occasion. My father has complex needs and I was very worried about his needs being met and being treated with respect and dignity. I have to praise every single member of staff from the manager, nursing staff, caregivers, kitchen and laundry staff and last but not least, the cleaning staff. I find every single one friendly, open and honest, open to listening to any concerns. There's nothing too small that is not taken seriously and addressed. They show genuine empathy and make the home feel like a home for the residents and the families of the residents when visiting. I would highly recommend Barnes Court.
