CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?
Barnby Court Care Home is a 25-bed residential care home in Retford, Nottinghamshire, run by Ashall Care (Barnby Moor) Ltd. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment.
Of the 5 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in August 2026. 89% of homes in Nottinghamshire also score 5. Across Nottinghamshire, 85% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England.
In September 2019, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. That matches its previous rating, from October 2016. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 36% of ratings in Nottinghamshire are as old (how rating age varies by council).
