Barnes Lodge

In a world that isn't always kind, Barnes Lodge consistently proves itself to be full of kindness. All the staff have shown my Nan kindness and care since she moved in and I have seen first hand the staff going above and beyond for her.

I find the staff very friendly & helpful, and always when we go to see our friend she is very contented and happy, which is all we can ask for.

Since has moved to Barnes Lodge he is now finally getting the care he needs and deserves. The staff and nurses at are attentive, kind and treat my husband well. They always keep me up to date with any concerns about his health or well being. There are staff members who go above and beyond to ensure his well being and are a great comfort to him. I am happier knowing he is happy.

Overall, I highly recommend Barns Lodge for anyone seeking compassionate and high-quality care for their loved ones. The positive changes we've witnessed have made a significant impact, and we are incredibly thankful for the outstanding care he receives.

She likes the library, where there are books to borrow and board games to play.

My brother has been a resident at Barnes Lodge for eleven months now, I can compare his care because he was at another care home previously. I cannot express my thanks enough to the staff and management! Nothing is too much trouble, from when we arrive to visit until we leave, I have noticed a vast improvement in his care and cleanliness from his previous care home. Staff are always kind and engaging with my brother, who I must say, doesn't always appreciate this because of his learning difficulties.

So clean and pleasant surroundings, polite staff and I'm very happy that my father is being looked after at Barnes Lodge.

Best care home I have found in the area.

Thank you everyone.

I have been extremely happy with the care given and the staff have been very pleasant. Thank you.

The home is bright and airy and has recently undergone some redecoration and work to improve safety measures. All this helps to make a better environment for residents and visitors.

Mum has lived at Barnes Lodge for two years. Overall, she has been well looked after by caring staff. Although she is physically frail with diminishing mobility, she still has good mental capacity, I think this is not always recognised fully. It would be helpful if a 'who's who' board of staff could be displayed. It would also be good to see a weekly menu and weekly activity programme on display. Refurbishments look good.

Selecting a care home can be a hit-and-miss exercise but my family and I give thanks that we found Barnes Lodge and I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending it as a caring and safe sanctuary.

I am very grateful for the excellent care that my Mum received at Barnes Lodge during the final few months of her life. She was always treated kindly by the nursing and care staff who helped her to keep her dignity throughout and tried hard to respect her preferences. We felt that there was a positive, helpful attitude from all the staff that we encountered. The visiting GP service at the home was excellent too. The facilities provided to Mum in her room and elsewhere were practical and fit for purpose. Visiting procedures at Barnes Lodge worked pretty well during a difficult time and the administrative staff were always friendly and warm towards us, whether in person or on the phone. I strongly recommend Barnes Lodge.

My mother has been a resident at Barnes Lodges for five and a half years. The family have always been very appreciative of the excellent care given to her. Last year my father was also a resident for a short period of time, until his death, and again excellent care shown. In the current pandemic, we have appreciated the virtual contact and recently distanced visits.

My mum has been in Barnes Lodge since it opened, I work in the care sector so knew what I wanted for her. Barnes Lodge has exceeded my expectations, with a dedicated team who always give the residents just that little bit extra. The manager is outstanding, always prepared to give her time to me, my mum and all the residents. She has made Barnes Lodge "a home". The laundry, the kitchen and the cleaning staff, and the wonderful care staff make Barnes Lodge a wonderful place. Thank you.

My mother constantly comments on the kindness that the carer is.

Staff very attentive and friendly.

Care and environment are very good.

The staff in general are very friendly and helpful to patients and visitors and caring to patients.
