Halls smell 👃 like toxic cleaning chemicals, urine or foul food. 🍲 Food quality awful. 😢 In patient treatment awful. 😢 The facility and contracting health care workers clearly focussed on bottom line money accounts over patient care. Also ask to taste the food 🥘 on a tour… Tasteless and sickly. You can hear in parts 👂 some patients screaming 😱 day and night. Making it difficult 😞 to rest or sleep 💤 as an in-patient. My mum deteriorated quickly at Susan Barton House. 🏡 Made me concerned. They never gave me a working entrance key 🔑 as the staff could not work out their security. I had to remove my mum from this facility in a hurry due to patient neglect and evidently breach of contract.
My Dad was staying at Susan Barton House while my Mumma had an operation, and we couldn't be happier with the level of care! All of the staff are so wonderful and the accom is clean and comfortable. Dad loved the food too, especially the desserts. Its such a relief to know this option is available to us when we need it :)
My Mother Phyllis Stewart was a resident in Susan Barton House for 5 years and 11 months. It was Mum's choice to become a resident as she experienced the early stages of dementia. As a family we are so grateful for the incredible care Mum was given as her dementia advanced, she was loved and cared for by the most amazing staff. They enjoyed and had fun with her when she was happy and calmed her when anxiety was at its worst. They loved her in the final days and they gave Mum the most beautiful farewell any one could ask for. My family will be forever grateful to Susan Barton House. Love Glenda Jones

Extremely rude staff, don’t know how to talk at all. I seriously bursted into tears after talking on phone to the staff, it hit me mentally. Should give some training on dealing with people nicely.
Very spacious rooms and a very big building beautiful and clean RIP Phyllis 15/10/2022
