  • Barony Lodge Residential Care Home, Nantwich
Barony Lodge is a beautiful modern home, where the dedicated team provides residential, dementia and respite care breaks, which can be pre-booked.

They follow not-for-profit provider Sanctuary Care’s unique Enriching Lives framework, based on the six senses people need to be fulfilled and happy – a sense of security, belonging, continuity, purpose, achievement and significance. By working closely with their residents, they support them to meet these senses and achieve their goals. Like resident ambassador Edith, who is so proud of her role, which includes everything from interviewing potential staff to showing new residents around the home.

The 60 spacious bedrooms are beautifully decorated and have ensuite wet rooms. Some rooms also have direct patio access to the gardens, as do the main lounge and garden room. Residents are very much encouraged to bring personal ornaments, pictures and small items of furniture to make their rooms their own.

Barony Lodge has beautifully decorated light and airy lounges. The home also has a themed art deco cinema room with a popcorn machine. And residents enjoy home-cooked meals in the dining rooms.

There is an on-site vintage tea room; a lovely spot to catch up with loved ones, who are welcome at any time, over tea and home-baked cakes.

The team also embraces the local community into life at Barony Lodge, running a monthly dementia café.

The sensory gardens have been landscaped with raised flower beds, for residents who enjoy gardening. There are fruit trees and lots of places to sit and enjoy the sunshine - and the resident rabbits!

With a hair and beauty salon, complete with a nail bar, residents can enjoy being pampered. The home also has a giant tablet, for interactive games, especially designed for residents living with dementia.

Barony Lodge is located in the market town of Nantwich, with excellent transport links and close to local shops.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We couldn't be happier with the care and support our dad is receiving and feel very reassured that he is happy and safe living in his lovely new home. Living locally, we asked around about a suitable home for Dad and Barony Lodge came highly recommended on many occasions.
Dad has been a resident for
6 months. He loves living there and has settled in so well. You can tell the team enjoys working there and they genuinely care for their residents. They are very knowledgeable and professional, with a wealth of experience. Dad's needs are constantly assessed and we are encouraged to be a big part of this process.
The activities are fantastic and are tailored to both groups and individuals. The food is delicious and the building, gardens and Dad's room are always kept pristine and immaculately clean.
It really is quite an exceptional place to stay and visit.
Thank you.

Barony Lodge Residential Care Home has been, and continues to be the best choice of care home for my mother who has dementia. She is well cared for, and enjoys living there. The staff are all excellent. The home is kept super clean. Laundry is super efficient. I haven’t tasted the food, but my mother
enjoys it, and always has a good supply of refreshments.
There are many varied activities going on, for which Mum is given the opportunity to join in.
The best thing for me is that Mum always says that she loves it there, and that is the main thing.

Review from Edwina F (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 January 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum went into Barony Lodge after she continually suffered with cellulitis and constantly being hospitalised, originally for respite, although her date of admission was 23rd March 2020 - same date the UK went to lockdown due to covid. Over the course of lockdown the staff were amazing with her, assisting
her with video chat with the family, keeping her occupied, but mostly ensuring she was cared for and safe from infection, providing peace of mind to all the family.
Over the next 3 years (or so) Mum built friendships, mainly with the staff and became notorious for her crocheting and making blankets for many, many people, together with her many stories about her growing up and her family. Over the three years the staff have been amazing, had it not been for the fact Mum now requires nursing care, I know she would have gladly returned to the Barony family, I know this because she told me. Thank you to all those who either met, or came into contact with Mum.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From initial enquiry, through the assessment process and the first week's respite care for my mum, the professionalism, thoughtfulness and understanding from all the staff at Barony Lodge Residential Care Home have been exceptional.
Their care not only to my mum but to myself and family has been welcoming
and tailored to her/our needs. I was able to go away for the first time in twelve months knowing Mum was safe, cared for and well and truly entertained. Her rekindling of an old friendship with another permanent resident on a lower floor was facilitated and encouraged, making Mum's first stay much more happy and homely for her.
She is looking forward to her next respite soon and we hope to be able to use this valuable service on a regular basis to support Mum's and my family's needs.

Overall, the care is good.
Very challenging for the staff at times who cope very well.
The entertainment staff try to involve as many clients as possible to join in with activities, but some of the clients recline.
Family meetings are regularly arranged, which have shared information for families
and care staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum originally went for six weeks of respite at Barony Lodge in March 2020 after a short stay in hospital. She loved it there, was very happy and well cared for, so much so she didn’t want to leave and made the decision to stay permanently.
The manager and her staff are amazing and so helpful. I have
peace of mind that Mum is safe and happy and being treated with care and respect.
The atmosphere is great, staff are friendly and happy to help from as soon as you walk through the door to when you leave. Everywhere is clean and tidy. Variety of different activities and the staff always try and encourage the residents to participate. Meals are excellent, and the tables in the dining area are set with copies of the menu for the day.
I would not hesitate to recommend Barony Lodge to anyone who is thinking of moving a relative in there.
You all do a great job - keep up the good work.

My mum came to Barony Lodge four months ago after a lengthy stay in hospital following a fall at home. She was very confused and unsettled after being in the hospital, however, the support from the staff transformed her day-to-day life. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff and I also see this in
their interactions with other residents when I visit. As a family, we appreciate how we are welcomed when we visit and it's a huge relief to know Mum is in a safe environment and is well cared for, well fed and happy. Thank you, everyone.

Fantastic care was given to my mum by the members of the staff and their caring nature following the surgery has aided my mum's recovery.
The home itself feels like home, the rooms are warm and inviting and the food is excellent! I would highly recommend Barony Lodge to anyone looking for care for
their relatives. I cannot thank them enough for the care given!

My mother is cared for very well. She is always well dressed and carers make an effort to get her out of her bedroom and into the lounge. My only fault is that there should be more activities to stimulate her mind eg. more fun days and people coming into sing etc. There used to be an entertainments
person, but he has not been replaced.

Our friend has just completed four weeks respite care at Barony Lodge Residential Care Home having visited each week I was impressed with the lovely light, clean bedrooms and communal areas but even more impressed with the staff. Without exception they treated each resident with respect and kindness,
taking care to find out the particular needs of each. For our friend, it was hygiene, food and anxiety that had been a problem, but each was addressed and helpful. The hairdresser and chiropodist weren't available during these weeks unfortunately but otherwise excellent.

My mum came to stay here for 14 days for respite, she is a nervous woman but soon relaxed when she was greeted by the staff. I have to say when you see TV documentaries on television you think twice about letting a loved one stay but not the case with Barony Lodge. One word to describe - excellent,
in all departments.

So happy Mum is in the care of such amazing staff. All areas are covered so well for care. While in the pandemic of Covid, everyone has been more than helpful in keeping our loved ones safe. When you call, staff are always so helpful, and when possible they have had loved ones out in the garden which
cheers everyone up.

I moved my godmother from another home because she needed her own bathroom. The home is beautifully decorated and there is a lot of interaction. Residents are not left to sit in the dayroom all day, like her previous home. She is well cared for and the communication through lockdown has been very good.
I have a couple of comments - it would be good to get at least a quarterly update, in respect of her care and health. In addition, clothes go missing, even when marked.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.806)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.806) out of 10 for Barony Lodge Residential Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.806 for Barony Lodge Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (284 Excellents x 5) + (49 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 341 Ratings = 4.806
  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 Barony Lodge Residential Care Home is based on 28 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 28 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.
