Everybody from maintenence personnel to care assistants to management are very professional and sympathetic with dealing with all residents in their care.

As a Care Home, I cannot recommend Barlavington Manor highly enough!
The emphasis has to be on both 'care' and 'home,' where both entities are taken on with pride.
We managed to secure Dad a room the week before Christmas, which enabled him to be fully immersed in the spirit of the season. He was
welcomed at the door on his first day of arrival, by name, and walked through to his room and settled in, with all Carers who passed him also welcoming him.
He was taken into the dining room, where they had paired him with another gentleman, and we set up his room, with the help of the maintenance guys carrying in furniture for us.
We actually felt redundant, because everything had been thought of and prepared, enabling us to fully relax and feel confident that Dad would be well looked after.
Dad's words last week were, 'I don't know why I haven't moved in sooner.'
Thank you for giving back my Dad to me.

The home my mother had been in for just over a year suddenly announced they were closing for redevelopment. After having found her a home and getting her settled this announcement was a great worry. From the initial contact with Barlavington they couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. The
home environment is welcoming and immaculately decorated and furnished. It really doesn't feel like a care home, more like a country house hotel. The move went smoothly, with everyone helping her settle in and adding personal touches like making sure her pictures were hung.
We have found all the staff very friendly, and nothing is too much effort. She loves her new room along with the views of the south Downs plus the wildlife in the gardens. She enjoys the daily activities as well as the social trips out.
Moving a parent into a care home isn't easy but the support from the whole team has been a relief for us knowing that she is safe, enjoying nice meals and so well looked after.

My mother went to Barlavington Manor after being unwell. Everyone was helpful, kind and welcoming from the outset. My mother flourished as soon as she arrived and is now relaxed, comfortable and happy and I have peace of mind, confident she is safe and well cared for. Clean, tidy, well organised,
beautifully decorated with warm welcoming staff, gives Barlavington Manor a relaxed, comfortable feel.The management and staff are professional, easy to communicate with, flexible and friendly. The atmosphere upbeat and happy, staff sympathetic and caring and everyone seems to genuinely care about the residents. The activities and daily news sheets seem eminently appropriate to the residents, give pleasure and evoke interesting and stimulating memories and discussions. Barlavington Manor stands out from all the care homes I have experienced. It really does feel unique. I'm delighted to have found it and hugely grateful to everyone there for making such a positive difference to our lives.

Barlavington Manor has been an excellent care home for both my parents of which one is in the residential side and the other is in the dementia unit.
All the staff have gone out of their way to be helpful and their level of care is commendable.
The cleaning staff are extremely thorough and the
gardens are well maintained which gives more of an air of a country hotel rather that a residential care home!

Barlavington is a wonderful home, my father has been really happy and settled quickly here. He recently celebrated his 100th birthday, and the staff were fantastic. The home is located in very pretty surroundings and grounds. It feels like every bedroom has a wonderful view. The property has lots of
character, but at the same time all the facilities are modern and the food all freshly cooked by the chefs. The team even baked my father a cake specially on his birthday. There is lots of parking, easy access, and very relaxed visitation rules, so you really feel like you can come and go as you please, and are always made to feel welcome, being greeted by smiles.

Barlavington Manor has always been a special place for my father and our family. Our mother was in the care home a few years back, so we have had a long standing relationship with them. When the time came for us to admit my father, we did not consider anywhere else. It was lovely that there were so
many familiar faces for him, and he was welcomed with open arms. We also love the fact that they are very flexible with visits, and you never feel like you are overstaying your welcome. It is so nice to be able to pop in for a cup of tea, or take him out for the day. In this day and age, it should not be taken for granted to be treated like an individual.

I was very apprehensive about admitting my wife into a care home when it became obvious that I was unable to care for her myself at home. I needn't have worried as after taking her to Barlavington Manor Residential & Dementia Care Home & Assisted Living Village to be cared for, I could see she was
in safe hands. The staff are very compassionate, caring and loving towards their residents who are constantly watched all the time and their needs dealt with immediately. I can't praise them enough.

It was almost two years ago today that we discovered that my mother was not coping well at home. She had had a couple of falls and it was clear she was finding it harder and harder to take care of herself. Since she came to Barlavington Manor Residential & Dementia Care Home & Assisted Living
Village, she was like a different person. For my sister and I, it was a huge weight taken off our shoulders. Everyone has been amazing and she adores the setting, food and activities.
