Overall Experience

We as a family are very happy with the service and care given to our 92 yr old mother. They have taken care and looked after her extremely well. Mother is very happy there, the accommodation is everything you could ask for comfortable rooms and the communal areas are always very well kept. Mum as made new friends since moving in and it is a comfort to us knowing she is safe there.

Review from David N (Nephew of Resident) published on 28 October 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I am very lucky to have Barton Mews so close by because Barton Mews provides a standard of life to its residents that would simply not be possible in either their own or a fully provisions care home.
The concierges are brilliant, without them the whole place would not tick - literally, nothing is too much trouble, they really do care.
The hotel-style offerings really help. To have the feel of your own home but with the security, support and importantly, community of Barton Mews around them is a fairly unique and helps make it a wonderful place.
Some of the apartments are bigger and better than others. At 15 years old, most of the apartments are ready for a little updating but this is the responsibility of the owners and not Barton Mews.

It is very important to highlight that Barton Mews would not work without the care providers who operate within but as a totally separate entity. The whole concept needs them in order to work and Forget Me Knot are, in particular, simply incredible.

Overall Experience

Since the first time I came to Barton Mews for an interview, I have been so happy. I was put at ease by the manager, who explained everything to me about Barton Mews. I was given a tour round and taken to speak to some residents who were at 'knit and natter'. I was made very welcome and offered a cup of tea. I really felt that I would be very happy here. Since moving in I have been made welcome by staff and residents. I have made some lovely friends. The staff are so good.

Review from Janet R (Daughter of Resident) published on 31 January 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Mum was one of the first to move into Barton Mews. For six months she came every Thursday for the day, until the family home had to be sold. Within the next few weeks, it was hard to get her to leave. The staff were so wonderful, helping her to settle in and realise how wonderful the complex was and still is. She arrived aged 80 years and thrived for years, loving her extended family, until at 92 years it was time for her to leave us. Only due to their standard of care and love for all their residents did we find out from them that the care package put in place by the hospital was not being delivered to cater for Mum's needs. Due to their liaison with us we were able to get this rectified, ensuring that Mum's final days were pain-free and happy, with a team who go that extra mile for all those in their care. If you are thinking of bringing a loved one to Barton Mews, be assured they will be cared for by the highest standard you could possibly wish for, from a team who you will come to think of as your extended family.

Review from Richard B (Son of Resident) published on 31 January 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Barton Mews has been a thoroughly excellent place for my parents to live when they were unable to carry on their independent lives in London. The quality of the service from management and concierge staff has been inevitably first-class over a number of years. Also, I would like to compliment the kitchen and restaurant staff, altogether first-class.

Overall Experience
Having visited friends in a number of these homes, all I can say is Barton Mews is quite outstanding, I cannot praise it enough.
The staff are always cheerful and helpful and cannot do enough to help the residents.

I have visited my sister at least twice every week and regularly had meals here so this is a long-term observation.

Review from Gavin C (Son of Resident) published on 17 October 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

We have been so impressed from day one with the care and service provided by Barton Mews Care apartments. Not only has my mum settled in quickly but she has already found new friends in the other residents and the kind and caring staff that work tirelessly there. Nothing is too much trouble. My mum feels safe, secure and happy. She is thoroughly enjoying the food available and the opportunities to socialise within the apartment's recreational spaces. Knowing that she has someone on call 24 hours a day gives us and Mum real peace of mind and we are so pleased that we picked Barton Mews for Mum to live in.
