Our home
Opened in 2018, Barley View offers respite care & short term and long term residential stays.
Our purpose-built care home is of a size and scale that offers all residents the care they need in an environment that places great emphasis on interaction, activity and enjoyment.
Split over two levels, the 28-bedroom home comprises two 14-bed communities named Willow Lane and Forest Grove.
communal spaces
The community lounges, kitchens, dining areas and garden are available for residents to enjoy together and with their families.
Careful attention has been paid to make each area comfortable, with specially chosen fabrics and colours. Intelligent, pictorial signage helps guide residents around the facilities, and clever use of colour helps our residents who have additional needs, manage spatial awareness. A hearing loop and level access are also available throughout Barley View.
Food and nutrition at Barley View
We have a team of in-house cooks producing delicious home-cooked meals. Meals are balanced and nutritious in accordance with the needs of the individuals and can accommodate any special dietary requirements.
Snacks and drinks are also available throughout the day from communal kitchens and snack stations in individual bedrooms, and family and friends are welcome to join residents for meals by prior arrangements.
