Barleystone Court Care Home

My mother moved into Barleystone in December 2026, following a major deterioration in her health & not being safe at home. I also had to move up 350miles from home to be near me. I have nothing but praise for the care my mother is recieving. Staff are caring, polite & make her feel valued & special. The interaction with all residents from staff is always polite & caring. Yes there have been issues with management but the day to day care is fantastic.

I cannot thank the team enough for the incredible care they provide to my father. Moving a loved one into care is never easy, but the staff made the transition seamless. They don't just provide medical support; they treat the residents with genuine dignity and warmth. It truly feels like a community rather than a facility

Thank you to everyone who has made my grandas journey so calm and helping him settle so quickly.

My husband has been in Barleystone Court for nearly 5 weeks and previously went there for respite. I find the manager & staff very approachable and so helpful. I struggled when he first went in, but everyone was so understanding. Going by my experience in Barleystone, I know my husband is in good hands and is being well cared for.

Most importantly she is very happy in a safe place.

The care for my aunt has been great all staff are very pleasant any queries they take them on board as she struggled to settle but is now looking great we have no worries about her safety, we can visit any time it suits us which is great

I find the care my wife receives is very good. Attentive oh yes caring yes. It would be very remiss of me not to mention people who should deserve a special mention namely the manager, a staff member on reception and 3 of the carers.

Thanks to your staff, really pleased to see my Dad in a place where the staff obviously care. Myself and my Brothers are really comfortable with him residing at Barleystone Court Care Home. Thank you, staff were so welcoming, we were offered a coffee and my old Uncle even got a free lunch!! Actually looking forward to visiting my dad there, I live in Aviemore, so cannot visit every week. Your staff are managing the home very professionally, giving me great peace of mind.

My dad has been in a couple of care homes in the past and this one has been the best, by far. The staff were very caring and accommodating to his individual needs. We've only used this care home on an emergency placement but I am now looking at using this care home for respite in the future.

The staff are so good with Mum and really do provide a huge lifeline to us in the care they provide. Mum is much safer here and we can breathe a little knowing she is under regular care and supervision. The care home manager is and has been exceptional.

I have had a lovely time during my stay here, the staff were lovely and very caring. Food has been lovely. My bedroom was lovely and clean and very comfortable. I would come back here for a break if ever needed.

This was my husband's first-ever residential respite. Barleystone Court Care Home gave a very pleasing ambience on arrival. Staff were quick to answer and use security measures at admission. Staff were professional, helpful and friendly. My husband's room was bright and clean and well-furnished. The whole place was also clean and bright and other service users looked very happy. As I was so pleased, I have made further bookings. I would also recommend Barleystone Court to others.

In the short time, my mum has been a resident of Barleystone Court, all staff and management have provided an excellent level of service and care and have gone above and beyond for us as a family, including giving additional support to my elderly father with the transition of my mum moving into a care home. The whole Barleystone environment feels very welcoming and friendly, and we have been kept up to date and informed with every aspect surrounding my mum's care. My mum's room is lovely, bright and clean, and we were able to bring additional bits and pieces into her room to make it feel more like home. It is also lovely to see the residents taking part in all the activities which are organised and to be able to see the photographs on social media. All in all, as a family, we are delighted with the level of care my mum is receiving at Barleystone Court and would like to thank the staff for all their support.

This was a great first experience of care home living and would not hesitate to recommend Barleystone for respite care for their loved one.

Short term respite care. My Grandmother spent some time with this establishment, not seen her is such a happy/peaceful place for a good while. Thank you!

Will keep this establishment in mind in the coming future years.

My dad stayed at Barleystone Court Care Home for 3 weeks of respite. What an amazing place very well organised. The level of care and kindness to my dad and myself visiting was outstanding. I can't thank each and every member of staff enough for their incredible dedication to the residents. The surrounding gardens are a joy to sit in and even entertainment is thrown in to bring a smile to everyone. Well done Barleystone staff you are all invaluable.

My mum has been in Barleystone Court Care Home for 2 months and I cannot fault the care she has been given. On every level, from medical and health care to everyday housekeeping and support, the staff are professional, kind, courteous and pleasant. The management team are approachable and friendly with a very positive attitude. Cannot recommend it enough!

My mum has been a resident for a week. I visited for the first time today and absolutely delighted with the care that is given. I felt so guilty that I couldn't take care of my mum anymore but I know now that she is in safe capable hands and is receiving the expert specialist care that I could not provide. All the staff have been so supportive and gone the extra mile to help my mum settle in and become part of a lovely new family with the other residents and staff. I am getting my mum back after being the carer for a very long time and getting to spend some quality time with her in a lovely environment.

For that, we will be eternally grateful. Thank you all.

Great staff. I can sleep easy knowing my mum is in good hands at a great home.
