My Dad has been a resident at Abbotts Barton for two years now and felt right at home from the beginning. He struggled at home to come to terms with his advanced care needs and straight away the team were professional, warm, caring and reassuring and he has settled in so well. He has a lovely group
of friends he meets for activities, minibus trips, chess, dinner and drinks. He also values the relationships he as grown with all the staff, the care staff and companion team in particular. They have all taken the time to get to know him well and I know he has so much respect for the amazing work they do. The nursing team and care staff understand his care needs brilliantly and when he has been poorly, they have noticed straight away which is reassuring for my family and I that he is in the best hands. Having a nursing team in house has been invaluable. He wouldn't be anywhere else. What an amazing home!

We have been impressed with the outstanding level of care and genuine support shown to our mother during her move to Abbotts Barton care home.
They have also been very supportive to us as a family, together with showing consistent professionalism.
The staff are caring, kind and cheerful. And we
are confident that our mother is being well cared for.

My mother has been a resident here since 2023 and has been so happy and content every day.
The care that she has every day is 100% and always given with so much love and attention.
Mum feels like it is one big happy family.
Mum has been poorly recently and I cannot fault the wonderful nursing
care she has been given.
It helps me too, allowing me to be her daughter and not her carer. Priceless.
Thank you to the whole team here @ Abbotts Barton.

I am so impressed by the care and kindness shown to my father. The staff got to know him and understand his sense of humour very quickly, and how he is increasingly showing his great age, they remain endlessly patient and helpful. His choices are respected while he still receives the support he
needs. He loves the food and never complains about a thing. I also feel well supported. They are very quick to respond to any pain.

Mum now requires a lot of help. We are very pleased with the care she receives and the kindness shown to her.
Conditions and facilities at Abbots Barton are excellent, and we have every confidence that the level of care required is delivered. She is treated with respect and dignity is maintained,
and probably most importantly, she is happy.

Very enjoyable stay and thank you.

I have been in for a fortnight's respite care and have been really well looked after.
The cleanliness, facilities and staff have all been excellent, the food too and very much enjoyed. I was treated with great kindness and respect at all times, and help was always on hand should I require it. My
room was lovely and the roses were a much appreciated extra touch.
I would be very happy to recommend Abbots Barton.

Excellent 1st impression continued through my mother's stay at Abbotts Barton. The care and medical assistance was top quality in particular. My mother commented on how impressed and happy she was with the food and staff in particular. This was only a short three week stay for her this time, but if
she ends up returning to Abbots Barton in the future, I am sure she will be happy.

I have been here for two weeks. I have found the place efficient and welcoming with kind and friendly staff. The food is delicious and varied, although I would prefer a supper later that 5:30pm - Sandwiches at midnight are a delight! The gardens are beautiful.

My Mother has been a resident for over 4 years. She is incredibly happy and the care is outstanding. All staff are kind, highly competent and caring. These very high standards are set by the Home Manager and cascade through to all teams in the home - nurses, carers, activities, catering and
housekeeping.
My Mother's strong relationships with staff and residents are vital to her. She enjoys engaging in the wide ranging activities and having the beautiful garden. In her words:
"Abbotts Barton do everything they can to make everything right for you. They know your fancies and foibles. Automatically get for you the things you like and need. It makes me feel relaxed. I am in control of my life, people here listen to me."
My Mother also has very complex health issues. The nursing team's prompt and skilled actions have probably saved her life on a number of occasions.
This is an excellent Care Home with a lovely culture that treats all residents and their families with respect and care.

I have had four weeks in Abbots Barton care home - respite care following a fall when I injured my hip. I have felt safe and well cared for and all the staff have been without exception, polite, respectful and helpful.. I have had all my prejudices about care homes and old people completely blown
away and I found everybody to be interesting and intelligent and good company. I love the fact that there are 20 nationalities represented amongst the staff and even more languages spoken.. I particularly appreciated the activities that were on offer - an exercise class nearly every morning and some sort of activity to stretch the brain in the afternoon such as a quiz or a crossword or number games. I have also been on some interesting trips and particularly enjoyed the trip to Chichester and boat ride around the harbour..
The food has mostly been good and sometimes very good, varied and imaginative. One thing I would criticise is that the vegetables, to my taste, usually, were overcooked.

My stay has been very happy, and has improved my recovery from hip surgery. I would chose Abbotts Barton if I needed permanent respite care. I met a very old friend and school mate and that made both our stays richer for it.

After 8 days in hospital with a fractured pelvis I needed some respite before returning home. Abbotts Barton was recommended to me and it lived up to expectations. Wonderful staff at all levels. Thank you all.

I have been visiting Abbotts Barton for over 3 years. It is by far the most caring and person-centred home from home. The activities are stimulating and fun. The staff work together to provide the best.

My mother had a lovely, quiet, peaceful time at the home.
Thank you for everything.

I have stayed in Abbotts Barton many times due to accidents, I always found them to be excellent in all areas. I am now a permanent resident.

Abbotts Barton give residents of all ages the "home" they will always appreciate, the comfortable personal rooms, service rooms and lounges give pleasure. Physical and mental activity is important and residents receive the best. Strolls and sitting out in the garden is very welcome.
