I (Lee) believe on review picked the best care home I could have chosen to suit my dad's needs, the staff are very attentive and efficient, friendly, and accessable.

My son was in hospital from March to August with lots of medical issues. As he started to improve it became apparent that he needed a different surrounding. He was transferred to Branfield mid August and after the initial 'changes' my son soon settled into his need care regime. All staff were very
helpful, informative, respectful and pleasant, carrying out their duties to a high standard. A timetable of activities for residents always available on the notice board near the main entrance door. My son made very good progress at Barnfield and I'd like to thank everyone for making his stay happy and comfortable.

This will be my last review, for the weeks leading up to my husband dying at the end of October 2025.
He had been at Barnfield for sixteen months and in all that time he had been very settled. All the staff took so much care, whether it was personal care, joining in with activities and being
encouraged to do as much as he possibly could. His communication became very poor as time went on, but he always had a smile for all the staff. Whenever something happened, whether it was through a fall or a medical concern, I was always informed and I was able to go up to the Home to reassure myself. In the last weeks, as he deteriorated, the care the staff gave him was exemplary. They also looked after family members, who came from all over the country and abroad, to see him. Being with him during his last week was particularly stressful and I cannot give enough thanks to all the staff, day and night, for the care and support that allowed my husband to have a peaceful death. Thank you Barnfield.

My husband moved into Barnfield in April 2025. From the first visit looking round to the day he sadly passed away, we were all treated with dignity l, kindness and respect. The care and compassion shown was excellent. Whether it was a quick hello as I came to visit or needing a shoulder to cry on if
it wasn't such a good visit, the staff were always there for us. The home was always clean and bright and the food cooking smelt lovely. Thank you will never be enough for how grateful I am for all the staff and their support.

Barnfield is clean, tidy and bright. Staff are helpful, approachable and responsive to mums needs. Her room is a good size, quiet and well lit. We are also able to add personal items in her room. Mum seems to be enjoying her food. It is nice that they bring snacks and drinks mid morning and
afternoon. They have activities going off most days and live entertainment occasionally.
I know mum is in safe hands and treated with respect and dignity.

It's all been very easy to transition from hospital to care home. The staff are brilliant. My mother-in-law will be happy and rejuvenated with this warming welcome to Barnfield Care Home. Well done team and thank you.

The staff are compassionate, friendly and very supportive. The overall care that my mum has received has been excellent during a very difficult time in her life. The management staff are informative and any questions that I have are answered quickly and are approachable. Mum has settled in and more
importantly has a better quality of life, whilst still retaining her independence. She is regularly encouraged to join in with activities and also to join other residents in the communal areas. I would highly recommend Barnfield to anyone who is seeking care of a loved one.

My husband is being cared for at Branfield Care Home. Everyone is making his stay as good as it can be. I visit many times a week and nothing is too much trouble, would highly recommend this care home. People really care.

I have found the management and care staff extremely friendly and helpful at all times. It took my mum quite a long time to settle in but now she is happy being a resident in Barnfield Care Home. I would recommend the home to anyone seeking care for a loved one.

Having been a councillor on three authorities and the fire authority totaling some 50 years and at the same time working in care for some 23 years.. whilst being a trustee on a number of caring charities, I'm in a position to be able to assess what is good or bad quality care. I can honestly say I
can't fault the staff or the care in Barnfield Care Home in any way. With regards to the facilities where activities take place they do look a little dated but the rooms and eating area are quite adequate.

Very pleasing to see carers who care. All the clients were clean and dressed. Friendly staff. Nice and warm and homely. Even Dad, who doesn't like having or being given a shave, was smart, sat in a chair.
Thank you all for the hard work and dedication looking after my parent.

My wife was moved to Barnfield Care Home because of her need for nurse care.
On arrival, which was one day later than planned, she could not be taken to her agreed room because the lift was not suitable. I was not happy. She was allocated a ground-floor room. I visited her the next day and was I
surprised. The room was very good, clean, well fitted and I was amazed to see how she had adapted to her new home. The staff were welcoming and I was delighted. Well done Barnfield.

Mum is well looked after and always kept warm and safe.
She is protected from falls which was previously a big problem. Although she is still underweight, she is encouraged to eat and various methods have been used to achieve this. The staff are very understanding about her own ways. The home is
clean and a safe space.
I find the home well-managed and can only congratulate the management.
19 February 2024
Friendly. Always check on you, make sure you're ok and if you need anything.
When down and really not coping too good, they're always there to listen and support you. Can't thank the manager and all the staff enough for all they do for me and others daily.
Dinks are good, meals not so good.

I have been at this care home for eighteen months. In this time, I have been looked after with great care and respect from all the staff, both daytime and nighttime.
The management have been very helpful if I had any concerns
27 March 2023
Excellent! From my arrival, I was made to feel both welcome and safe. The staff have been wonderfully patient with me. I do wish to say how helpful they have been about me being 'ovo-lacto-vegertarian!' I am grateful to have somewhere safe to stay. A huge sincere thank you!

I am very well looked after. I like it here and wish to stay. My experience has been very good.

I'm really impressed by the care that Dad is receiving at Barnfield. The staff are lovely, and clearly think a lot of him from their interactions with him that I've witnessed, and he likes them very much as well. I think they have all done a sterling job during which has been a very difficult time
due to Covid. I've been really impressed by the cleanliness when I've visited, and feel confident in the care that he is receiving. Thank you all so much.
