A very warm and friendly place, my partner and I were made very welcome on arrival (dinner and drinks all round). Thank you. My partner has various issues, but all are met admirably. All management & staff are very approachable & keep me informed on any concerns. The home is spotlessly clean & the food excellent all freshly cooked. Activities are good. On visits I am made very welcome and go home knowing my partner is getting the best care possible Thank you all.

My mum has been a resident at Barnby Court for over 3 years and is very happy here. The staff are always very courteous and friendly to residents and visitors alike. I would definitely recommend Barnby Court to anyone who asked.

The care home, albeit a bit dated eg no en-suite facilities, is homely and comfortable. The staff are friendly, caring and professional, providing a first class service to residents and relatives. Ad hoc activities are enjoyed by the residents and relatives are always invited/included if present. Food is always home-made and varied. Residents independence is always respected, as is their privacy and dignity. My father is well cared for by all.

My mums has been a resident since last June 2024. She initially went in for rest bite but due to her decline in health I decided she needed more permanent care. It was such a relief knowing my mum is looked after so well, the care team at Barnby Moor are so lovely and they look after there residents with compassion and empathy. My Mum is happy and content living at the care home and I would not hesitate in choosing this care home in the future.

My aunt has been a resident for over two years and the care and attention she is given by all staff is amazing. My aunt doesnt like to join in with others very often, but all the staff take time to spend with her and encourage her to take part in all activities and events. Such a lovely warm and homely atmosphere here and I know my aunt is very happy.

Was really welcomed into the home. I really found that nothing was too much trouble even when they were rushed off their feet.

My nan came in after she broke her wrist and damaged her elbow from a fall. She has been extremely well looked after and cared for. All staff are extremely friendly and accommodating and have made my nan and us very welcome. They are always on hand to speak to and reassure her. Very well-run care home.

Sadly not a positive experience and a total lack of care for my mum who stayed at Barnby Court Care Home for respite care. Staff ignored the buzzer and kept her waiting for an hour and half before she could use the toilet. She could not go to the bathroom herself because she felt dizzy and needed help. On her first day, they did not give or offer mum any breakfast at all. She had a drink of orange juice and that was it until lunchtime. When she wanted to go to the toilet there was no toilet paper and the toilet was filthy. When mum was downstairs the care assistant told mum she had to walk up the stairs herself. She cannot climb stairs as she has had 2 knee replacements and also is out of breath because of her heart condition and it would have been totally unsafe for her to even try. They left her sitting in a chair downstairs until after 11 pm that night. She was absolutely exhausted and feeling very unwell. She had just come out of hospital.

My lovely mum spent 3 weeks at Barnby Court before her death. I couldn’t fault this place, the love and care they show the residents is amazing. All the girls are so lovely and caring. The food is home-cooked. I would recommend this place 100%. I was grateful to every one of them. They give amazing hugs when needed.

Dad has been in Barnby Court now for nearly two years, sadly suffering from advanced Alzheimer’s. The home is very well-run and spotlessly clean. The residents are regularly entertained with music and games to which family is always encouraged to join in where possible. The food is all home-cooked on-site and is of a very high standard with lovely homemade cakes. Dad is always kept well-groomed and seems very happy and content. It was a very difficult decision to put Dad into care, but I couldn’t be happier with the choice we made. The staff are so dedicated, friendly, caring, patient and always happy to help, I cannot compliment them enough. I would not hesitate to recommend Barnby Court if you are looking for residential care for your loved one.

My mum has been at Barnby Court for 3 years now. She is extremely happy there and in a safe, caring environment. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and great with the residents. They are also extremely helpful when I phone or visit. Communication with the care home is excellent. I receive phone calls from them when they have any concerns and regular emails with details of events that have taken place. When I have needed to visit to fit around my work hours or pick up my mum for an appointment, they have always been extremely accommodating. My mum is extremely happy there and I am happy that she is well looked after by lovely people who do care.
