Having had experience of several care homes in the area, this is by far the best managed, cleanest, friendliest and supportive home I have found. I have no hesitation in recommending Barton Lodge to anyone, based on having two family members in residence currently.

My mother spent the last 10 months of her life in Barton Lodge Care Home, requiring care and end of life nursing care. Barton Lodge, Laura as manager, & the whole team were brilliant. Such a lovely caring environment. I don't want to name anyone as stand out, because they were all so special, an amazing group of individuals who together made the perfect team. I am so grateful to the whole team for taking such good care of Mum, and for making our visits so welcoming I honestly can't thank them all enough. I don't know how we would have managed without them. Top rating! Thank you.

My wife has been at Barton Lodge since September 2025. She is settled and content there. It has been hard for me to see her in a carehome but I know it is the best place for her, she is so well cared for, it is lovely to see her relationships grow with the other service users and staff, it gives me piece of mind knowing she is so well cared for. I even join in with some of the activities when I am there with her (not the nail painting one though !) All our family members are always welcomed, even when its 4 generations, and the great grandkids are running around, the other ladies really enjoy seeing them also. The staff also look after me when I am visiting, if I am unable to walk down to her they will bring her to me in the reception area or garden, offering us tea/coffee and cakes.

The staff are friendly, caring, and always willing to go the extra mile-nothing is ever too much trouble. They make both residents and families feel valued and welcome. The residents always seem happy and engaged, with a great range of activities to enjoy. The lovely, well-maintained garden and tasteful décor create a comfortable environment. The home feels safe and secure without ever feeling restrictive. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this care home to anyone looking for compassionate, high-quality care in a place that truly feels like home.

My wife has dementia and has been a resident at Barton Lodge for the last 17 months. On the day that we arrived at Barton Lodge, we were met by the manager, and made very welcome as she showed us up to what would become my wifes room. We were told that we could bring pictures and ornaments from home to help my wife settle in. The room was spotlessly clean and spacious with room for her wheelchair as she had a broken ankle at the time. All of the staff that we have met at Barton Lodge are very considerate and sympathetic to all of the residents and we know that my wife is getting the best care possible from a caring and professional staff.

Staff and management are friendly, approachable and professional, always willing to help.
The unit is immaculate and beautifully decorated throughout. Mum has a large spacious bedroom, we have brought pictures and such from home to help make it a home from home for her.
There is a cinema room, hair dressing and beauty salon, refreshments are always on offer for service users and visiting family members, we have made use of all facilities regularly.
Activities are enjoyed by all service users, they vary from bowling, darts, singing, colouring, board games, manicures etc.
I would rate Barton Lodge as Outstanding. It is not just a care home, it is a home from home.

I find the staff very accommodating and genuine care / nursing staff who take a real interest in the residents.
The environment offers residents many spaces and activities due to its modern layout.
I noticed a great selection of foods being offered which take into account all residents preferences, cultural and dietary needs.
The staff whilst I recognise work within what sometimes could be considered demanding all seem to enjoy their work and get a long in an inclusive workforce. I suggest the management within the home deliver great management and supervision to the staff.
I would suggest this home for all types of residents needs as they assess and place within a suitable space.
It is very hard to send loved ones into care and I would suggest that you visit the home and maybe send your loved one on a trial basis before decisions are made.
Laura & Rebecca from management are very approachable.

The staff are always kind, patient, and respectful, and it's clear that they genuinely care about her wellbeing and happiness. She is always clean, comfortable, and well-presented when I visit, and the home itself is warm, welcoming, and well looked after.
What stands out the most is how you treat her with dignity and compassion. You take the time to understand her needs, listen to her, and make her feel valued. I can see that she feels settled and cared for, which means everything to those of us who love her.
Thank you for the amazing work you do every single day. It truly makes a difference.
The home is immaculate, the staff are so kind and caring and I know Mum is safe and being so well cared for .
