Barton Mews

My parents have just moved into Barton Mews Care Home and our early impressions are excellent. From our first viewing of flats through to moving in, all staff have been wonderful, treating my parents with kindness and dignity. The culture established by the manager and team is clearly one of getting to know residents well and understanding their different needs. There is a clear determination to move forward, following the limitations imposed by Covid, and to restart a programme of more activities and opportunities for residents to meet and interact. The facilities are immaculate and well-maintained. The meals in the restaurant smell delicious and staff going round to take meal orders in the mornings makes it so easy for residents to get the food they enjoy. Little things, like the figure of the soldier on the external wall to commemorate remembrance, really make the facility feel like part of the community. Above all, I am already totally confident that my parents will be safe, secure and well supported at the Mews which has removed a huge stress from my family.

I would recommend Barton Mews to anyone looking for a home where they will be safe and genuinely cared for. The staff go the extra mile for all of the residents, especially in this year's hot summer. I can rest assured that my mum can live independently but with someone on hand if needed - 24/7. Thank you, Barton Mews!

My mum had lived independently until the age of 90 when she began to suffer with ill health and needed some help. She moved to Barton Mews at the age of 94 and it is the best thing we ever did. Although she moved away from her friends, she soon made new ones and participated in activities that she enjoyed. I cannot speak highly enough of the staff who were always kind, caring, helpful and respectful particularly when mum came home after several bouts in hospital. They work exceptionally hard to provide a cheerful and happy environment.

During my mother's residence at Barton Mews, she has been looked after well by friendly caring staff. COVID has brought many problems for all of us but I felt mum was safe. Many thanks to all the staff.

Excellent care during the pandemic and before taking every step possible to keep everyone safe. The concierge team are always polite and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. Consistency is key, "Mum does not like change". (The problems for us arose when care went to an outside agency. We needed double up calls which were difficult to accommodate initially).

My mother was extremely well cared for while at Barton Mews. The staff were always friendly and helpful. My mother was very happy there.

Barton Mews is being refurbished at the moment. I have settled, happily, into my flat. I have it the way I want it and it is comfortable and warm. It is good to know that someone is available at all times and the staff are friendly and helpful. I look after myself and find the kitchen adequate for my needs, though the high shelves can not be reached by me. There are few activities going on at the moment because of Covid but I'm impressed by the way we were protected from the virus making sure we were all safe from the beginning of lockdown.

We needed mum to move out of her bungalow into an extra care apartment to make life easier for her. She was also near to family in Barton Under Needwood. Staff always friendly and professional. Mum felt safe and happy at Barton Mews. Covid restrictions always adhered to. Activities ceased due to Covid mum missed mixing with residents and activities.

My mother has been a resident at Barton Mews for 12-years. During her time there, she has always been treated with kindness, and our family is grateful for the ongoing support of all the members of staff, who provide a very caring, secure environment.

Lovely caring environment. Residents maintain their own independence whilst having support of a caring team available 24/7. Fun activities happening throughout the week, bingo, fashion shows to name just a few. Restaurant available with lovely food either to eat in or have delivered to your apartment. All in all a great place to retire and relax, you deserve it.

One further facility which should not be overlooked is the location of the surgery on the ground floor.

We were apprehensive to make a move, no longer the degree of independence but with first call concern and carer have met our need exactly. The staff at the root of this, caring, experienced and thoughtful. The facilities are well maintained and clean

Overall a good assisted living environment.

However, I am very content here - comfortable and caring.
