Barleystone Court Care Home

I would not hesitate to recommend this care home to all members who are looking for a safe retirement home.

As a family, we are always made to feel welcome. After visiting my father each day, I know I leave him in good hands.

Staff were very helpful when I telephoned, family and friends who visited were treated with care and understanding that this was a difficult time. Overall, staff are working hard to provide an improving environment for residents.

I was impressed by the initial meeting with the manager and subsequent dealings with staff. All were friendly but professional and "knew their stuff". My mother was treated with dignity and respect, notably in her final days and hours. Staff understood her interests and went out of their way to encourage her in these. Anytime I phoned someone would be able to tell me what she had done that day and how she was feeling. As a family, we could not have wished for better care or a nicer environment for my mother.

My mother was only in Barleystone Court Care Home for 4 weeks. From the day she arrived, I sensed that all the staff were aware of her, quickly establishing a warm, friendly and respectful relationship with her and so were able to observe when mum's condition started to change. The family were kept updated regularly and as her condition deteriorated, the care she was given was changed to reflect her needs.

Staff very helpful and informative seem to get on well with all residents.

I find the staff welcoming and very willing to provide assistance when asked. I'm unsure which activities are provided for someone who is immobile such as my mother-in-law. She has difficulty swallowing which means the evening meal which we help feed her can be difficult for her. Overall I think the staff do a great job but the residents would probably benefit from having more people there to chat with. I appreciate staff are very busy. The lady who is new on the care team is particularly good with the residents.

Barleystone is a welcoming care home with great staff and facilities. My husband is very settled and comfortable at Barleystone.

Mother in law is well looked after. Always clean, tidy and appears happy. Have noticed interaction with staff (always a good thing).

We found the care home a friendly place for an elderly relative. The home is clean and comfortable and staff very caring.

At the care home you always receive a warm reception from the office staff on arrival, followed by friendly care staff and nurses. Friendly care home with staff willing to assist in all matters.
