I went to Barton Lodge for respite following surgery. B.L staff were all very welcoming and are all efficient and caring in their roles. Residents were very friendly - It appeared well managed with happy staff. Good teamwork. Admission & discharge process easy to complete. B.L proved to be a lovely
caring home. It has beautiful gardens and stunning views over the Isle of Wight. Food was good, a wide variety & choice of menu and personal diet needs are easily accommodated. A wide choice of activities are offered.
Should the need arise in future I will not hesitate to book in again and will have great confidence recommending B.L to other people

I was struggling to find a suitable care home wit friendly and compassionate staff to provide care for my 94 year old mother. I then had the good fortune to have a friend recommend Barton Lodge Care Home. I cannot praise the manager and her wonderful staff enough. The home is situated in a great
location and very professionaly run. I instantly got a homely feeling when I entered the building and was very taken back on how friendly and chatty the residents and staff were. It was very evident that the residents' wellbeing was at the heart of everything. My mother has been at the home for 11 months. I summarise my last conversation with her 'I fell very safe and happy here. The staff cannot be more friendly and accommodating'.

Mum arrived at Barton Lodge Care Home just after its refurbishment. Immediately I was confident that she would be happy and that has very much been the case. She participates fully in all the activities and I leave after each visit completely confident that she is well cared for. The staff are
always positive and cheerful and willing to go the extra mile.

My dear husband spent the last few weeks in this lovely home. Every-one of the excellent staff were full of empathy and a gentle kind of care.
Our children & Grand children were made welcome and visitors.
Thank you.

An ideal place to recover from knee operation, pleasant surroundings, clean comfortable room and communal areas in fact 5 star accommadation! All staff from housekeeping, chef, carers team leaders and management friendly and approachable. Both my mother and husband have been residents here so I felt
very much at home and was welcomed as an old friend. Loving care a true description as it does matter here.

The manager and the whole BL team looked after my father, following his kidney operation and nephrostomy in Jan 2025 to get his strength and independence back. My father and we his family were delighted with the quality of care and his overall experience. He only left in May, after 4 months, to be
closer to his family in the latter stages of his uretha cancer, to a home in South London; that could offer more comprehensive medical support as his terminal cancer condition deteriorates. Whereas the new home is better suited to his current medical needs, it is notable that the quality, speed of response and genuine affection, attentiveness, care and compassion of the BL staff, and particularly the nurses and all the carers; particularly one carer, but all of them. The staff were much more friendly and caring, to make Dad's stay more comfortable and enjoyable, nothing was too much trouble for them at every interaction. Please accept Dad & his family's heart-felt thanks

I was at Barton Lodge Care Home between May and October 2024. I was in very poor health when I arrived. Right from the word go, I received amazing attention from the team at Barton Lodge. I had a marvellous five months, taking me from the depths of despair to where I am now, back in my own home.
Thanks to the team's close attention and kindness.

My mum was a resident at Barton Lodge for the last 8 weeks of her life. From our very first visit to the care home, before we were even sure we needed it, we were impressed by the friendliness and helpfulness of all the staff. We noticed that the care home manager took a personal interest in
residents while she was showing us around.
Throughout Mum's stay at Barton Lodge, she was treated with dignity, kindness, and real loving care from all the staff. Every single member of staff that we came into contact with was cheerful, kind, and caring. Staff formed a good relationship with us and kept us fully informed of Mum's care and needs. We felt that all her needs were met and the care home was able to arrange visits from the GP, podiatrist, dentist, and optician.
The quality of the environment was excellent, including the furnishings, activities on offer, and the gardens. The care home was able to give Mum some comfort and peace in her last few weeks and she received excellent care.

A wonderful place for respite. Caring, attentive staff, all well-dressed and clean, able to talk clearly. Services provided well thought through, service provided first-rate. All staff willing to help and clean and tidy room constantly.
Home in a very good condition and garden a delight to use.
Plenty of seating and whole site very secure.
My guests were welcomed and very impressed with the whole situation.
I have had a restful recovery period with no stress.
Well done.

My husband has been in here for about a month. He needs an electric stand to move him to his wheelchair or seat. Nothing is too much trouble for them. They are very helpful and always cheerful from the manager down. I could have not picked a better place and he is happy there. The refurbishment is
excellent, the food is great and as a visitor regularly always made to feel very welcome.

Barton Lodge have made my mother feel so welcome during a very difficult time for her. The staff have been so friendly and the manager has given us so much advice and help it's been overwhelming. It's a lovely care home and I'm more than happy that we have gone there.

My father became a resident at Barton Lodge following a period of daycare during the previous months. He has settled in very well. The staff at Barton have made this experience for both my parents very positive. They have been very kind and caring towards my father as well as being sensitive and
respectful towards my mother during this difficult time. The staff are always kind, friendly and supportive.

Attend Day Care once or twice a month. Very impressed. Excellent care and lovely meals. Staff very friendly and helpful. I look forward to coming. I enjoy the activities especially when there is music and singing.
21 February 2024
My husband has started going to the day centre and is very happy there. I have found all the helpers very kind and understanding. It is difficult for me to comment on the daily routine as he has dementia and doesn't remember what he has done on the day but he comes home quite happy.
21 February 2024
My husband became a resident in January after having daycare for a couple of months. Thanks to very supportive staff this has been a positive experience both for my husband and myself. The staff have been very caring and considerate towards both of us. I feel very positive that he is being well
cared for and all his needs are being met.
20 February 2024
Although my mother could not stay long at Barton Lodge Care Home as she became very unwell, we were all impressed by the staff, their care of my mother and us and all in such beautiful surroundings.
We were impressed by the speed anything got done, such as a dedicated telephone line and PAT testing
and picture hanging.
We have all decided we would like to move in when our time comes.

My mum has just completed a three-week period of respite at Barton Lodge Care Home. She greatly enjoyed her time there and found all the staff so lovely. She also enjoyed the lovely, home-cooked food and had fun taking part in the activities on offer. She also loved the view over to the Needles from
her room. It was very reassuring to know that she was so well cared for and we would have no hesitation in her coming for another stay in the future.

My mother-in-law needed new bras, but the staff had noticed that from her "older" bras, she was getting a rash from them. The staff were absolutely wonderful in advising me of the type of bra that could be purchased to stop/prevent this discomfort. They advised on size, material and style - I found
that their care and kindness helped the whole process a lot easier for me, and ultimately, I was able to purchase some that my mother-in-law is happy with!
29 November 2023
The care that all the lovely staff (kitchen, laundry, nursing staff and management - sorry if I’ve missed anyone) have shown to my father and myself has blown us both away.
They have answered any questions and concerns I have had and without exception, have gone above and beyond for us.
Although
my father is temporarily here for respite care, it is of great comfort to both of us that should he ever need to return, he will be starting with a very positive experience behind him.
Gold star, go to the top of the class!
