Review from Geoff S (Son of Resident) published on 18 January 2021

Overall Experience

My father was a resident at the Cyder Barn for 3 years where he received a good level of care. Despite his worsening condition (dementia - which often made his behaviour challenging) the staff remained very professional and caring of his needs. Being quite a reclusive man when he moved into the Cyder

Barn, the team were able to get him motivated to join in activities that he thoroughly enjoyed. The strength of a care home is in its staff, and at the Cyder Barn, they all work very hard to ensure the residents are their number one priority.

Reply from Jo Baker, Manager at The Cyder Barn Ltd

Thank you, Geoff, for your kind words. Dad was a very special gentleman to us all.
I will pass your comments onto the staff.

Overall Experience

My late mother was at The Cyder Barn for 9 months and previously for daycare and respite care. Throughout her time there, she received the very best of care and support delivered by professional and caring staff from the manager and all levels of staff in the team. She particularly enjoyed the food

and the activities provided. I would highly recommend The Cyder Barn to anyone thinking of being a resident or to a family who wants the best for their family member.

Overall Experience

My Mother's care at her end of life has been exceptional and I am extremely grateful to all the staff for their care and sensitivity towards myself and my family at this difficult time.
All the staff deserve praise and there are certain ones that I feel very touched by and who I will always remember.
I

hope the management can extend my thanks and gratefulness to the staff at the Cyder Barn they have gone beyond their roles as care staff and that is something exceptional.

Overall Experience

The staff and management are very caring, friendly and helpful. Lovely meals and homemade cakes every day. The atmosphere at the Cyder Barn is very relaxed and easy-going and visitors can come and go at any time of day and stay as long as they wish. Lots of interesting activities available for the residents.

Overall Experience

A new experience for me: four weeks under the roof of Cyder Barn. I experienced great kindness from every member of staff. I was made to feel that nothing was too much trouble. My room was comfortable. I came to feel a member of the of the community even though my stay was only for 4 weeks in all, and

despite having Parkinson's and restricted mobility.

Overall Experience

A few problems but no doubt they are being reviewed.

The main lift being out of operation yet again is causing a lot of discomfort and problems for the residents as well as the staff. I appreciate it is something of a high priority but the unreliability does not enact urgently with the suppliers

or a new installation should be considered.

Food does not seem as good as before and maybe down to chef holidays but it is a matter of concern for residents.

To date, the care and facilities have been excellent but food is a main part of any residents stay an daily routine and should be watched for any lowering of standards.

Review from Tom P (Grandson of Resident) published on 6 April 2018
Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My grandmother has been resident since Sept 17 after a particularly harrowing year of ill health. I cannot stress the sense of relief and comfort I feel daily knowing that she is safe and happy in the home. The staff - from senior management and carers to those responsible for activities - are simply

superb. They are attentive to my grandmother's needs, providing reassurance and support through her anxieties and illnesses. Staff make me and other family members feel extremely welcome when visiting or calling the home. They are friendly, and clearly take the time to engage with my grandmother; to talk to her about her day, and to encourage her to participate in activities in addition to supporting her hygiene and medical needs. Management and senior carers are entirely approachable and professional and demonstrably work hard to ensure The Barn feels warm and welcoming where other homes can feel clinical or stifling. We're lucky to have found The Barn and I can't thank them enough.

Review from Rosie B (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 April 2018

Overall Experience

My Mother became too poorly to live on her own in her flat so going into a care home was very much forced upon us. She had a little dog that was her life so we knew finding a place that they both could stay wouldn’t be easy. However, the first place we found mum lasted a couple days ... it was so an

“old people’s home“, lines of rooms and everyone sat in a big circle in one room doing nothing.
She was taken into hospital re a flare-up of her condition and swore she was never going back.
This put a lot of pressure on us as a family. My son and I went to visit The Cyder Barn. The guy who gave us a tour was a very caring senior at the Home. My son and I got the same vibe from him and the Home. They were both very individual based. Cared for the residents like they were their own family.
The room we were shown was just right for mum and her little dog. It was bright and airy with a door that went out onto a patio.
The day she moved in the smile on her face said it all.
