My Dad has been at Barons Park care home for nearly 5 months now and has settled in really well. Placing my Dad into a care home wasn't an easy decision to make. But on reflection it has been the best thing for him. All the staff treat my Dad with respect and dignity and it really has a homely/family
feel to it. He genuinely seems happy there.
There are plenty of activities that residents can participate in if they choose to and you can tell that the residents happiness and wellbeing is number one priority for the staff.
Any matters relating to Dads condition are always communicated to me in a caring and professional way from either the nurses, carers or manager.
The home is clean and my Dad enjoys the food on offer. Overall very pleased.

Initial contact with this care home was reassuring, the staff were friendly and professional and we felt reassured. Our first impressions were good and continue to be so. Very positive attitude with a can-do ethos, have only observed good standards of care and we are more than happy with all aspects
of care/support we receive.

Mum had only been with you for six months, the care and love she received throughout showed each time I visited. She was a character and will leave a hole in many hearts.
All staff were very helpful, nothing too much trouble and treated everyone as family.
Thank you for the care she received always.

My father has been a resident within Barons Park Nursing Home for a couple of years now. The level of care he receives from the nursing staff is fantastic. The food is freshly made by the in-house chef and changes every day. The manager of the care home is very helpful and supportive with both residents
and relatives. The staff are so friendly and helpful and nothing is too much trouble.

Following a traumatic experience in a previous residential home, which left my husband fighting for his life in hospital, he was transferred to Barons Park Nursing Home which the family felt was a Godsend! The overall care, from the cleaners and laundry staff to the carers helping with meals and the
nursing delivered by the medical team, I found was given with patience and understanding. The aim was to make my husband as comfortable as he could be and it showed. I will be ever grateful.

Mum was a resident of Barons Park Nursing Home in March 2024. As a family, we were apprehensive about her going into a nursing home but we were struggling to cope at home. Mum was treated with kindness, compassion and dignity by everyone she came into contact with at Barons Park. We, as family members,
were fully informed about Mum's care. The home was always very clean and warm. Genuinely nothing was too much trouble for anyone.
The social activities were varied and very appropriate. When Mum passed, we were fully supported.
A terribly, sad difficult time was definitely made easier by being at Barons Park. Many thanks to the manager and the rest of the team for everything.
Would definitely recommend this home.

I was daughter-in-law of a resident who died in the home recently.
During the time she was there her care was excellent. They tried to motivate her and encourage her to socialise.
We felt fully informed of what was happening and the manager especially was open and approachable.
Excellent work - keep
it up! Thanks.

Dad moved to Barons Park in lockdown so we weren’t able to view the home, but came with good recommendations. Dad came to the home with some challenging behaviours and the staff have handled these well. Dad is happy, well cared for, the staff love him. From staff to management everyone is lovely and
helpful, nothing is too much trouble. I’m kept up to date with any changes concerning Dad. I would recommend this home.

My grandad was a truly amazing man who deserved the best care, dignity and respect and I can honestly say this was delivered at Barons Park Nursing Home. He was here for his last few weeks and the staff were brilliant with him, despite rapid deterioration, engaging with his care needs and our family.
For me, I've seen a lot of caregivers not so worried and quite neglectful of patients with dementia because they can't communicate so well or have these complex needs but not here, I never worried he wasn't being looked after right. From the bottom of my heart, I want to say a massive thank you to everyone at the care home, they should be very proud of their high standards of care, communication with relatives and all-round support. We had a tough time but they made it easier.

Our mum was only a resident at Barons Park Nursing Home for a few months but during that challenging time, the care, compassion and kindness she received was amazing. As a family, we were worried about her going into nursing care but her needs were so complex we had no choice. We should not have worried
because from the moment she arrived, she was treated with respect and we were also treated with kindness, never feeling like we couldn't ask any questions or given the impression they were too busy to speak to us. The level of communication from the nursing staff and manager are faultless, we were kept up to date and fully informed all of the time. Their knowledge of dealing with residents with dementia is brilliant, calming and kind in what can be very difficult situations which was a big comfort and reassurance to us at a very difficult time.

A big thank you to all the staff for their kind and considerate care of my auntie, who was a resident at Barons Park for 17 months. It was very reassuring for the family to know that my auntie was being so well cared for. On each visit, we witnessed the genuine kindness shown to her to ensure that she
was comfortable and that all her needs were met. It was also appreciated that members of the nursing staff would contact us in between the visits if there was any updates on her condition that we needed to be aware of.

I am very happy with the level of care shown to my husband by all the members of staff, from the care assistants through to the nursing staff. The management is excellent at communicating all aspects of my husband's needs and comfort.
I have had experience of other care homes but the knowledge of dementia
and how to treat the patients is far superior.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.835)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.835) out of 10 for Barons Park Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.835 for Barons Park Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (265 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 309 Ratings = 4.835

  • 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 Barons Park Nursing Home is based on 27 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 46 registered maximum number of service users is 9.2, which has been reached with 27 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.
