Care shaped around you

When considering care for yourself or a loved one, it’s important to find a place that values you for the unique person that you are. At Barchester, our dedicated teams seek to understand more than care needs. We get to know each person’s life story, passions and preferences to shape their care, support and experiences.

Meaningful moments

We believe it’s important to find joy, purpose and fulfilment in each day, whatever that looks like for you. Whether it’s enjoying your favourite hobby, joining a group activity or being supported to try something new, we’re always finding ways to nourish the mind, body and soul. With close connections with our local communities we’re able to bring the outside in, as well as planning regular trips to places of local interest.

Mount Tryon Care Home

Choosing a care home for your loved one is such a difficult thing to do. When I went to visit Mount Tryon for the first time I was so pleased and instantly put at ease. The home was so clean, well presented and more like a small friendly hotel. My relative has now been there for a few years. They look after them, care for them even when times are tuff and their condition can be very challenging for them and others.
From my experience I would definitely recommend them but go and visit them and make your own mind up.

Fairview House Care Home

My mum spent 3 months in Fairview House Care Home for end of life care. The staff are exceptional, the care was 1st class and all the staff are super friendly. Although she could not participate in any of the activities there I could see during my visits how much they do there for the residents. So happy she spent her final months there. Thank you to everyone there.
