Barrowhill Hall provides nursing and dementia care in a peaceful location which offers extensive views of the surrounding Derbyshire and Staffordshire countryside. The home provides high-quality care in a homely and welcoming environment.

With two independent care households, Barrowhill Hall provides both early stage residential dementia care through to nursing dementia care. The design of each household, Churnet Lodge and Barrowhill Hall, is influenced by the innovative Stirling Academy guidance which aims to enhance the living environment for those living with dementia and memory loss.

Residents have access to a range of living space and facilities, including large and quieter lounges, film rooms, a library, spa and hairdresser.

Bedrooms are finished to a high standard and offer en-suite accommodation. Couples can also be accommodated for in a studio with a private lounge.

Residents can also spend time outdoors tending to the gardens or simply enjoying a drink with friends on the terrace while appreciating the far-reaching views of the local countryside.

Barrowhill Hall is a multi-award winning home and reached the 2016 National Finals for the Dementia Care Awards in the category of Best Interior Dementia Design and was a finalist in the 2017 Care Home Awards for Best Architecture and Interior Design.

My mother had been a a resident at Barrowhill Hall for the past three years before she sadly passed away in February. The staff are so caring, patient, understanding and gave my mother 100% care and attention. She was treated with dignity at all times and the support for our family was also fabulous.
We wouldn't have wished for her to spend her last years and days anywhere else but Barrowhill Hall. We thank all the staff for the wonderful care she received.

My sister, father and I are very pleased with the care and quality of service provided by Barrowhill Hall staff to my mother. She is very well looked after, content and the general atmosphere and location is lovely. We are always made welcome when visiting. There are lots of activities going on to provide
stimulation.

The staff explained everything clearly at the review and answered any questions I had regarding my aunt. The review was very helpful, it gave me an update of my aunts overall health. I am happy she is receiving the best possible care.

As mum has not been there long from what I have seen I am very impressed. I used to be a dementia nurse in charge of 24 residents in nights with 1 carer and this home is a lot lot better than the one I used to work with. As it was a struggle in mornings to get residents up for day staff, we always
did our best (100%+). The staff and management at Barrowhill Hall are wonderful. Always happy to help, very friendly and as I live in Crewe Cheshire I can only get down once a fortnight as I am still at work.

The activities offered are fantastic and day trips out are also provided.
I would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for
first class care and excellent caring staff.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.739)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.739) out of 10 for Barrowhill Hall Residential and Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.739 for Barrowhill Hall Residential and Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (153 Excellents x 5) + (47 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 203 Ratings = 4.739

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Barrowhill Hall Residential and Nursing Home is based on 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 74 registered maximum number of service users is 14.8, which has been reached with 17 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Paula is the office manager at the home.

“It's hard to describe a typical day at Barrowhill for me as every single day is different, you have to react to what is going on. But generally, I attend the morning meeting with all the heads of department, produce daily reports to Head Office and it’s my job to do the induction training for new staff.

“My favourite part of Barrowhill has to be the views. They really are spectacular, especially the walk down to Churnet Lodge from the main building. The view simply takes your breath away, it has to be seen to be believed!

“I hope that when families visit their loved ones they leave Barrowhill knowing that their relatives are being well cared for and they are happy and safe.

“I’ve worked here for just over five years now. Before that, I worked in the construction industry for more than 20 years.

"When the company I worked for closed and I was made redundant, I felt it would be nice to work in a different field and the people here make it a much more interesting place to work.

“I can be quite a sensitive soul, so the best piece of advice I've been given is from my dad and that's "Don't take it personally!"

“Outside of work I like walking, baking cakes and like most women I like to go shopping!

“I’m from Ashbourne where I still live with my husband. We’re lucky as all of our close family live nearby. Perhaps it’s because I come from Derbyshire and not Staffordshire that I don't like oatcakes!”
