Review from Astella F (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 28 November 2023 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
All of the staff have always been happy to greet and meet. I have approached the staff with various questions, and if not their remit, they have helped me find the person available to assist with my query.
My mum (in-law) has been so happy since moving here. With the carers popping in during the day, a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
↩Reply from Krista Plowman, Manager at Barley Court
Thanks for such a kind review - it is a pleasure to look after Mum, and we are so pleased you are all happy that Mum made the move to Barley Court. We pride ourselves on being one big family and glad you have been a part of this.

Review from B G (Resident / Service User) published on 3 August 2023 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
The overall quality of carers is good. They are friendly, helpful and efficient although there is a problem with communication. The team leaders are also friendly and helpful although once again communication is really poor. Appointments are made and not notified, the same with cancellations. I have asked to see a team leader for the past week but no visit and no message!

Review from Meryl P (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 June 2023 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
I would like to say a big thank you to all of the staff at Barley Court. Mum has lived here for 4 years and they have been the happiest since Dad passed away. Everyone works so hard to look after the residents and during Covid I felt positive that Mum could not have been in better hands.
Mum has a lovely relationship with the staff as do I when I visit. Mum's flat is lovely and spacious, looking out onto the garden and fish pond. We couldn't ask for more. Thanks again.
↩Reply from Krista Plowman, Manager at Barley Court
Thanks for your very kind review - it's wonderful to see your mum so happy and to see her joining in with our social events - we are especially grateful for her help with activities and as our resident ‘HOY’ caller we are thankful for her support.

Review from Lynne E (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 26 July 2022 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
Since my grandad moved into Barley Court in 2019, he has been really happy. The staff are excellent and very caring. They always have time for him, and he gets all the care he needs. He enjoys the activities the staff provide. In June, he turned 100, and thanks to Barley Court allowing us to use their facilities, we were able to have a get-together with all the family, including his grandchildren, great and great-great-grandchildren.
↩Reply from Sarah Hill, Customer Relationship Manager at Barley Court
Thank you for your kind words. Our team at Barley Court really appreciate it. We are so pleased to hear that you and your family were able to celebrate your Granddad's 100th birthday together.

I would say they are on a par with anywhere else. It has been quiet so I can sleep. I've joined in the activities. The carers are friendly and helpful. I've made some friends while I've been here.

Review from Linda P (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 February 2016 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
From the time of moving into Barley Court my mother was made to feel welcome. There was a friendly, family atmosphere and she felt happy and safe. The care team were so supportive and quick to respond to situations such as 'black dog' days as well as periods of illness.
Everyone was approachable and helpful, their presence was reassuring to both my mother and I. She was so happy and felt lucky to have such wonderful, caring people around her.
