Barley View

My mother has been in Barley View Care Home for over a year now. From Day 1 every one of the staff members reassured mum (and myself) wonderfully and I truly believe they have the best, caring and the most warm staff around. The warmth and care is outstanding and they have got to know my mum as a person and not just a resident. They treat her with dignity and respect which is so important. Thank you to each and every one of you at BV.

The home is very well organised, always extremely clean and mums room is beautiful and welcoming. She has a gorgeous view over the hills. The home has a outside enclosed safe garden area with a patio, and there is a balcony at the rear to sit out in the warmer months.

The activities co-ordinator is amazing and there is a variety of days out, meals out and indoor activities and entertainment.

I leave my visits very impressed and I know my mother is in excellent hands.

Our Mam came to this home from another home in October 24. Her room was absolutely beautiful and from the window deers roaming around. The food wonderful, fantastic cook, tea and and cake offered, birthdays recognised and celebrated. Music and dancing, homely atmosphere, and lots of entertainment. To the most important part, the carers, all I can say is each and every one of them are stars hand picked from the sky, mams family and now ours. From walking through the doors and having the best meet and greet ever, it has helped our Mam live her Alzheimer's journey in peace, safety, making friends with all the love and care she ever could have needed. We have never felt as secure with our Mams care until she came here. We can't thank you enough, you are all beautiful Angels.

Excellent service. I would highly recommend BV for older population care!

I cannot stress enough how the wonderful staff at Barley View were in caring for my brother in his later years. He was treated with kindness, patience, love and total professionalism. It was very comforting to me and my family knowing that he could not have been in a better place.

The home is always immaculately clean.

After visiting many care homes we chose Barley View. We are so glad we did. It is great. The staff are all so welcoming and friendly. My parents love it. They enjoy the food and hospitality. They love the days out and the entertainment, especially the singer! Can't fault the care they are getting.

I am a friend of one of the residents, I come a few times a week since she moved in a few years ago. Before I was her carer until she needed full-time care. What I have seen with most of the residents is a wonderful change, they have a lady who started not long ago who does entertainment, the residents join in more and seem very happy, she is so friendly and caring, she is a credit to Barley View. All the staff and management are wonderful.

Mum has been a resident for nearly five years. She is on Willow as she has vascular dementia. She has deteriorated over time but throughout she has been happy and jolly. I have been very happy with her care and of her carers. A little disappointed to have had many managers and different structures to work with. Overall, the systems work well. Now we have full-time activities, should be even better for residents.

From the minute I contacted Barley View in regards to my Mum's care the management have been amazing- they did everything they could to help me make the move as seamless as possible. The care my mum has received over the last 6 months is first class. She looks great and is always clean and tidy and nicely dressed. In every photo she has a cup of tea in her hand - I can see what she’s doing from the wonderful photos that are posted. The activities are varied and they try so hard to make them meaningful to the residents. Moving Mum into a care home was a hard decision but I know she’s in a first-class environment.

I would like to give special thanks to the exceptional staff, who, daily, go out of their way to care for the residents, especially during Covid and the resulting lockdown. Nothing is too much trouble. The carers have looked after my mother superbly through a stroke and she has a wonderful rapport with them. My family and I are very grateful to them. I have recommended Barley View to several people. Many thanks team. x

My father had a very happy last three months of his life at Barley View where he was (in his own words) "treated like a friend". He made friends with the staff (four of whom even attended his funeral) and with other residents. It's a shame this period of happiness could not have continued but his health took a turn for the worse. I would certainly recommend this care home, it is quite pricey but worth every penny. I am happy that we persuaded Dad to relocate here and so was he. I have recommended it to two people.

The residents I've seen all seem contented and the staff appear to interact with them very well. It is a very pleasant environment and my uncle is very happy there. He has had a few problems, not related to his care, that I've had to sort out, but I must say the manager and her team couldn't have been more helpful and understanding.

My Dad and I have peace of mind that she is being cared for and looked after.

Making the decision to put your loved one into a nursing/care home is not easy, particularly when they do not understand it is in their best interest. Finding Barley View was the best thing we ever did. The care, patience and kindness displayed by all members of staff is exactly what we wanted for our loved one. As every day goes by we realise how lucky we were to discover Barley View. We cannot express how much it means to know that your loved one is safe 24/7. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Barley View. Thank you to every single member of staff.

We have been very satisfied with the care received. This has resulted in a marked improvement in appearance and general health.

Barley View is an excellent facility and the care provided is first-rate. My Mother moved there four months ago and is extremely happy. The carers have formed good relationships with her and they have fun together as well as providing a high standard of professional care. The food is good and the courtyard garden is a lovely, safe place to sit out.

Good activities although some carers don't seem to help her. Gardens are lovely.

Excellent.

As a family, we know Mum is being well cared for and the management team are always available for a chat.

Mum always looks very well cared for and often says, "I like it here".
