My husband was in Barnet Grange for 4 weeks recovering from surgery.
He was well looked after and the staff were caring.
The nursing needs some improvement but the other staff were competent.
The activities were well thought out and the food was good.

My husband was a resident for one week for respite care.
Very welcoming, caring staff, always friendly.
Had one issue;
I had a telephone call from a nurse asking for a medication to be sent in. It was not appropriate as I was away and the medication could be bought over the counter. I did bring this
up on my return and was agreed it was not correct. I feel these sorts of issues need to be addressed.
The admission lady was absolutely amazing, very helpful and caring as were the staff at the desk.

So much good is ruined by poor food, high in fat and sugar and low in protein. Quality meat only Sundays otherwise cheapest varieties. Dishes served frequently do not resemble the written menu. Last week's Turkey Escalope was 3 small 1/4 in thick sliced chunks of tasteless meat in gravy. Meat Pie was
4 bite-sized chunks of meat, all bulked up with sauces. This problem applies throughout. I, and others, buy food to supplement meals. Luxury living paid for but not delivered. Lunch is better than dinner or high tea.
If catering was the same quality as the building and staff, it would be ideal and value for money.
At present, I am judging as a resident suffering from old age, not just yet an invalid. I would appreciate more feedback results of frequent blood tests if possible.

Reply from Kate Lippiatt, Client Liaison Manager at Barnet Grange Care Home - Avery Collection

Thank you for your valued feedback. Here at Barnet Grange, we aim to please all dietary requirements and we always take into account residents personal tastes, requirements and intolerances. On the whole, we strive to deliver a varied tasteful diet which caters for all, and we are sorry to hear that your experience does not match with our food & beverage strategy. Although most of our feedback in relation to our food/dining experience remains highly positive, we are sorry that on this occasion we have not exceeded your expectations. We will address your comments personally and look into ways to improve your overall dining experience here at Barnet Grange. With regards to blood test results, I will refer this to the Nurse Care manager, and she will discuss this further with you.

Mother has settled in very well. She says the staff are lovely and friendly and helpful. There is so much to do there which is exactly what she needed. The entertainment section and staff do a wonderful job that really suits my mum.
She enjoys the food mostly and the 'cafe' is brilliant for when visitors
come and sitting room area. It is very clean and always looks wonderful.

My old school teacher and my friend, who suffers from dementia, recently became a resident of the care home; it was a complete shock. I visited Barnet Grange Care Home to see my friend, and all the staff are very welcoming and friendly.
The staff at reception were amazing, and I know how well looked
after my friend will be whilst staying there.
I just wanted to add a huge thank you to all the staff for their amazing work so far and in the future but for mainly looking after our old friend.

As we were coming for respite care, we did not know what to expect. We were very pleased with the care that we had! We found the staff very friendly and very helpful. The place had a very good atmosphere; everyone was friendly. The other residents were very friendly too and welcoming. Overall, it was
a very good experience for us, and we were sorry to go home! We both felt relaxed and refreshed and will not hesitate to return if needs be. We shall recommend it to friends.

Although not familiar with respite care, my experience here has been a good one. Signature is a clear and highly professionally operated company and ensures its staff are well trained throughout. This is a comfortable and pleasant place to be, from the location to the quality of the whole service provided.
Of course, this comes at a cost, but you get what you hope for, and in my case, leave feeling more able to cope with the world outside, as it really is.

The whole team at Signature at Barnet are friendly and approachable. Have made the whole process of my father's move very easy to ensure he was not stressed about the change in his lifestyle. This has given me comfort that he is happy and has taken the day-to-day worries that I had about him trying
to care for himself away from me.
Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.473)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.473) out of 10 for Barnet Grange Care Home - Avery Collection is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 18 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 4.573 for Barnet Grange Care Home - Avery Collection is calculated as follows: ( (141 Excellents x 5) + (64 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 218 Ratings = 4.573

  • 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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Barnet Grange Care Home - Avery Collection is based on 18 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 100 registered maximum number of service users is 20. 18 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.9

  • 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.
