Reviews for The Manor Care Home

"From the first time I entered Barchester The Manor Care Home to look around, I was struck by the warmth and friendliness of the staff - from the cleaners upwards. Even when they were obviously busy, the staff still made the time to chat with the residents, their families and visitors. Nothing is too much - super attitude. Now that both Mum and Dad have been in full-time residence there for a few months, nothing has changed - if anything, it's even better, as the staff now know their characters and regularly bring out their naughty sides! Mum and Dad have got to know and like most of the ground floor staff - it's a lovely, welcoming community that has been able to deal with my parents differing physical and mental needs. They always feared being separated and this is what stopped them from going into a residential facility months ago! My brother and I can now relax, for the first time in months, knowing that they are safe, happy and well cared for. Thank you to all of the staff."

"When I arrived I was unable to walk, after my stay, I was able to travel home. I cannot praise too highly the physiotherapy I received; care and competence of the first order. The nursing staff were uniformly kind and competent. The meals provided the best institutional food I have ever eaten outside an RAF canteen. I would thoroughly recommend Barchester The Manor Care Home in all respects."

"Although my dad only spent a few days in the home before he passed away, the care and support he received was outstanding. This allowed him to spend his last few days in peace and comfort, and it was appropriate that he passed peacefully in his sleep. The team in the home were also brilliant in their interaction with family and friends who visited. Always friendly, caring and with a smile when appropriate. Thank you, everyone."

"I came into Barchester The Manor Care Home for a weeks respite after helping to care for my husband for 18 months after a stroke. Coming into The Manor meant I was looked after but could still visit my husband every day. The care and experience I had was excellent. I had dinner, bed and breakfast"

"My mum moved to Barchester The Manor Care Home in August of this year. From the moment she arrived, she received outstanding care and was treated with kindness and respect by all the staff who could not do enough for her. They did everything to make her last weeks happy and contented, just as if she had still been in her own home. The Manor is special and I cannot recommend it highly enough to anyone considering care for their loved one."

"My aunt moved into The Manor in March of this year. Sadly, she was only there for about three months before she died, but in this time received outstanding care in every way. All staff were kind and considerate, ensuring that she settled into her new home well. In addition to excellent nursing care all the staff carried out their roles to a high standard. They gave her time, which is so very important. Staff tailored some activities to my aunt's interests, something she appreicated. The management team developed a good relationship with myself and family members, kept us informed, listed and gave sound advice."

"Following a fall and broken hip, I stayed at The Manor for two and a half weeks. My family and I have really appreciated the wonderful care and service shown by all staff in all departments. Everyone was kind, and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Professionalism with a human face! Thank you so much."

"All the staff without exception are happy, caring and cheerful. More like staying in a 5-star hotel. I could really get to love this life. The food is wonderful, and the chef and staff working under extreme difficulties still manage to turn out 1st class meals, I can't praise everyone enough. The laundry, cleaners and carers, nothing is too much trouble. I wish I could stay, thank you so much to everyone."

"My father-in-law had to go into The Manor for nursing and end-of-life care. He was 96, his wife (my mother-in-law) had to go into the home with him, physically good but a lot of memory loss, she is also 96 years old. The Manor provide extreme nursing care for my father-in-law and the end-of-life care was brilliant. They continue to give loving, kind care to my mother-in-law and are helping her to cope with the loss of her husband of 73 years. I cannot speak highly enough of the manager and all her staff, from the cleaners, chef, handyman, care staff and the incredible nursing staff. So lucky to have found The Manor"

"My husband has been a resident since February 2022. We are very pleased with the standard of his care and the way he is treated with compassion and courtesy. The atmosphere in the home is peaceful and calm and his quality of life has improved totally here, rather than existing we are both living our lives to the full as much as we can in the circumstances. The activities are good and the food is excellent."

He has enjoyed it so much and been made to feel so welcome that he has already said he would like to come back! He has said all the staff are so kind. Thank you all."

"My mother has been at The Manor since August 2021. From the minute I walked through the door, I knew it was the right place for her. She is always treated with respect and kindness, and all of the staff go above and beyond to make her happy. The food is extremely good, with fresh flowers on the table and even a glass of wine."

"My mother came into The Manor unable to walk. One staff member has helped her gain strength and confidence. He expertly judges when to encourage her with a new challenge and when to slow her down a bit. Last week Mum walked all the way to that lounge with her wheeler; this would not have happened without his skill, patience, positivity and perseverance."

"Mum has been at The Manor since July last year; the staff made her feel safe, secure and welcome right from the very beginning. It's such a relief to know she's so well looked after. All the staff work so hard and are so kind. The food is amazing; I visit several times per week and every visit she's eager to tell me all about the food and how wonderful it is. I'd just like to thank all the staff from maintenance, reception, housekeeping, carers, activities staff, physios, nurses and, of course, the kitchen team for making The Manor such a special place."

"My husband was dealt with well upon arrival. All staff have been polite and courteous and responded positively to any requests. The available physio is very good and encouraging. Food is variable and mainly good but only 12-14 residents go down to the dining room for lunch each day. The conversation is very limited there. Weekly activity sheet is useful but when distributed we feel it would be useful if discussed with the resident."

"Prior to pandemic, I visited my mother in her room every afternoon but since the 'lockdown' the staff have been very good at keeping us up to date as best they can. At Christmas, the activity staff even gave me photographs of my mother opening her presents. The trained staff are excellent in keeping me updated when she has had health problems. The manager and staff have had a really difficult time and do try do keep Covid out of The Manor, their efforts are much appreciated. No hairdresser since last March, she is very much missed."

"Mum has been very well looked after throughout the pandemic, which sadly is still continuing. The visiting changes have not been easy for her but we wanted to thank the manager, the lifestyle co-ordinator/activities, and the nursing team on Victoria for reassuring Mum. The excellent communication/changes of events now in place and a special thank you for setting up the FaceTime video calling facility. This has been a gamechanger for Mum as it relieves the isolation and gives her visual contact with her during difficult times. We all now feel connected as a family so thank you all especially nurses, carers and catering staff. We really appreciate all you are doing for Mum and the rest of the residents at The Manor during difficult and uncertain times. Best wishes - all the family."

"I have had a very good experience during my two months in The Manor. The food is very good. I am a vegetarian and the options are very good for me. The care has been excellent and the carers are kind, friendly, capable and patient. Only they are always very busy having to answer all the bells!! It would be helpful to have three carers on each unit, not just two if possible? Because it has been such a positive time here we have now brought our 91-year-old mother to be a permanent resident here too."

"Keeping in touch with my mum during the pandemic has been particularly important. Obviously I had to cancel my annual visit (I live in Canada) for her 93rd birthday. The time difference does not help with communication but the homes lifestyle coordinator has done a great job of setting up several FaceTime calls for Mum and I to be able to see one another and have a good chat. As I have not been able to visit England since Mum has been at The Manor I have not met any of the staff in person but I have developed a great relationship with many of the staff through regular phone calls. Mum is always telling me she is being looked after very well. Kudos to all the staff! One small thing to mention is that I think they could do with more staff, and/or more phones, particularly at the weekend as it is sometimes difficult to get to speak with someone. I know all health care services are stretched more than ever right now and know I am really appreciative of all you do for my mum."

"At the beginning of 2019, we knew that we would have to place both of our parents in a care facility. You may be in the same position and it's tough. The decision and the moving in process was helped enormously by the team at The Manor. One of the things you may notice, when you look around, will be the way all of the staff engage with your loved one. The most important aspect of life at The Manor is the people. The management and teams there do everything they can to ensure our parents are happy, safe and well looked after. After over a year there, many of the team have become like part of the family. And I'm serious about that. Of course, the facilities are important. The room our parents are in is lovely and homely and you have the opportunity to contribute to that. The food is good, some days it's not brilliant but the team take any feedback and act on it. One thing I can say, hand on heart, neither my sister or I have any regrets. This is a lovely place full of caring people."

"Immediately, you walk into The Manor, and there is an ambience which is welcoming and reassuring. An extremely committed and helpful care team, nursing, all support staff in their various ancillary duties and the lead and enthusiasm generated by a capable and good management team. Together they look to genuinely provide for the care and needs of the resident; in a friendly and supportive manner. I have spoken to our relative and a couple of other residents by Video Link during the lock-down, and clearly, the good work of the care team continues and their work has been extraordinary and selfless. Thank you."

"My mum has been at The Manor for several years. Mum has always been content there and we have been happy with her care and would absolutely recommend it as a home from home. I am writing this now as it is really important we (my Dad and I) now flag the care during the pandemic. The team and the manager have been above and beyond to make sure Mum during this uncertain time, was cared and looked after. A FaceTime schedule was put into place and calls made to us, making communication really work during this stressful period. We cannot thank them enough for this. It felt like we really knew what was going on and how Mum was, to be able to see her on a daily basis like that. She was entertained still, albeit in her room for her safety so nails were painted and biscuits decorated. Sometimes just the Sound of Music on TV was enough! I feel Mum is safe, cared for and always looks well. The team there care. And that's all you can hope for isn't it if we can no longer help due to their needs?"

"I have lived here for 7 years and the staff we have here are exceptional and they always go out of their way for you and they are a very good team. It's great to have an in house physio here and they help you out whenever you need it. During this period due to the virus, the staff have gone out of their way to keep me smiling whether it is coming into my room for a chat and the occasional manicure or taking me out into the gardens for a gin and tonic."

"My parents have been at The Manor for the last 18 months. They are both in the same room which is lovely. The care they receive from all the staff is exemplary. The whole team are friendly and helpful and are a credit to Barchester Healthcare. At the beginning of the COVID- 19 pandemic, they took the time to set up FaceTime on my Dads iPad and this has enabled both my sister and I to speak and see them every day. I can’t thank them enough for sorting this out for us. During this trying time, the home has constantly kept us informed of what is happening which has been very reassuring. I would recommend The Manor to anyone who might be looking for a care home for their loved ones. I was unsure when we first started looking for a care home but I am so glad my parents are here as they are happy and are being cared for so very well, it’s such a relief, especially during these very strange times. Thank you to all the staff and management."

"Both my father and mother have been/are residents of The Manor. I have read the CQC's summary of it's October 2019 inspection and concur with most of its findings. This review covers the period for the last few months of 2019 and the first few months of 2020, when it is clear that things are improving. The level of care has been very largely to a high standard. If something is not as it should be, the staff have been receptive to being advised of such and have quickly rectified the situation. The staff looking after my mother have done so in a dignified and caring manner, sometimes in difficult circumstances. I look forward to this progress continuing."

"The staff at The Manor are second to none. They have looked after my father since December 2019 and the care has been impeccable and carried out with dignity for the patients. They have handled the Covid-19 crisis as well as can be expected. No request was too small or too big for any of the staff to carry out, including the general manager. Regular updates on their current situation and the activities they have managed to carry out during this difficult time have been a great solace. I would like to thank every single member of staff at The Manor for taking such great care of my dad. A special thanks goes to the manager and three members of staff who are a true credit to the place."

He has received a high standard of care, consideration and courtesy from the care staff, catering staff, entertainment staff and others. He has had physiotherapy on occasions. Every time I am able to visit, I am greeted with friendly recognition. My spaniel is allowed in too and is a great favourite! There is a warm and welcoming atmosphere in the home and everyone is very friendly."

"My mum has been a resident at the Manor Care Home since 2011. The care and attention she has received there has continually been first class. The staff are kind, take their time and look after Mum's every need with not only complete professionalism but with empathy and compassion and alter her care as any changes have occurred with Mum so she always has the best attention. I would not hesitate to recommend the Manor Care Home to anyone considering this. I have been visiting here for a long time and the staff are always lovely, friendly and willing to help with anything you need to know or even just for a chat, from the moment you step inside the home. I have always had complete peace of mind, faith and trust in the home and the people who work in there, knowing my mum is in the very best place she could be to be given the attention and complete care she needs."

"My mother has been at The Manor for just over two years. She is very happy there and has a nice room with a view of the garden. The staff are all very kind and caring and will try their best always to accommodate any of my mother’s or the family’s requests. Also during this difficult time with Covid-19 my mother had her 100th birthday and we had planned a party with relatives, friends and staff but of course, this had to be postponed - the staff were amazing and made a big fuss of her on her birthday and made her feel very special. We can’t thank them enough for helping us go through this time of being unable to visit by going beyond the call of duty."

Covid-19 has brought untold stress to everyone but my stress level has been greatly reduced knowing that my husband is comfortable and happy."

"My mother has been at The Manor for just over two years. She is very happy with her room which is bright and overlooks the garden - the only drawback is she doesn’t have a walk-in shower. She and I have been very happy with all the care that she receives, all the staff are kind and friendly and go out of their way to be helpful and look into any requests. Also, my mother had a very special significant birthday during lockdown so no family members were able to visit. The staff went above and beyond to create a special day and make a big fuss of her for her big day. I cannot say enough times how grateful we as a family were, for them being with her on that day. Thank you to all the staff for making her feel cared for every day. My only wish is that there were more carers, as they do seem stretched thin sometimes."

Most professional staff and fully capable. I am dependant on full personal care and assistance following a stroke.

"My husband has been in The Manor Care Home for a year and a half, and I have found that the carers are really attentive and try very hard to accommodate my husband as much as they are able. Whenever I have asked for anything for my husband, they pull out all the stops to help. They not only care for him but also listen to my concerns and comfort me too. I would recommend this care home to anyone who is thinking of which care home to chose for their loved one. Also in these trying times of the COVID-19 pandemic, they have arranged for me to video call my husband regularly to try and keep that very important social contact, which is so valuable for his wellbeing. Thank you."

"In the short time, my Mother has been a resident at The Manor Care Home we have been extremely impressed by the friendliness, medical care and professionalism shown by all members of staff. The fact that she settled in so quickly and happily was due to the warm welcome we were all given on her arrival. Her room on the ground floor overlooking the garden is ideal, as due to her condition she spends much of the time sitting in her chair watching the birds and squirrels. The food seems varied and nutritious, and there is the opportunity to tweak the menu if desired. The various communal areas are light and bright offering alternative places to sit whilst visiting. During the Coronavirus lockdown, the staff have gone out of their way to set up video call opportunities when visiting has not been possible, for which we have been hugely grateful."

"In need of updating. Call buttons are like bricks and no call button in the bathroom. Bathroom in need of modernisation as no commode access to the loo is possible.

The patient is beginning to look much brighter, nails painted, her hair looking good and encouraged to sit in the chair. Staf chat with each other and patient. Only criticism is that on each visit a smell of urine as we go to reception and a smell of urine on all floors and corridors."

"The hardest decision of my life to entrust my husband to others' care but in the brief period he has been in The Manor it has proved to be the wisest move for him and he is so loved by all the staff and everyone involved in the nursing home. I would not hesitate to advise anyone unsure about their loved ones to please be reassured they will be taken great care of and be as happy as my husband."

"Having visited many care homes where family were residents. The manor is by far the best in so many ways. The ambience, the care, the staff, personal attention, medical attention and communication. My cousin suffered from Huntington's Disease and as he deteriorated his care never diminished. Well done and keep up your standards and amazing work."

"I'm so thankful my daughter found this extremely caring and lovely home for me. My room has become my home where friends and family may come and spend as much time as they want with me and we're not a bother to anyone as we are self-contained. It's kept very clean each day and the bathroom also for which I'm extremely grateful. The cleaning staff are a very loving team and works so well together as do all the staff in their various fields which of course gives a very happy and caring atmosphere to the home. Food is varied with multiple choices so no-one need have something day after day unless they choose to. With the window to the floor, it gives so much light to the room and with the heavy curtains which are lined gives the warmth and blackout one needs at night. I am so thankful I can end my time here."

"I am so thankful my daughter found this lovely home for me to be near her, and somewhere that I could call my home, where all my friends and family could come whenever they choose, and not be a nuisance to anyone having to be around to care for them. All of the staff are so caring, meeting all our needs whether they are many of just a few. They are always there whether day or night giving us all the help or encouragement we might need to truly make it our home. I am so thankful for this encouragement as it keeps us independent for that much longer, which is good for us and we're not relying on others to be doing everything for us all the time. It's special seeing the nurses and carers working together to get the very best from us."

"Having been some three months at The Manor Care Home, I am very pleased to write in appreciation of everything I have experienced. Individual accommodation is well appointed and maintained. Public areas are attractively furnished and decorated. The highest standards of cleanliness apply throughout. Personal laundering is efficient and of very high quality. Varied and carefully chosen menus are well prepared and presented. Personal choices can usually be met if a menu really does not appeal. All staff consistently show thoughtful care, friendly courtesy and great patience and good humour with residents often suffering serious physical or mental failure. I can think of no occasion when some complaint has been justified. The Manor Care Home is to be very strongly recommended."

"Furniture and fittings are like those of a luxury hotel. The staff are caring and friendly. I was taken to the dentist by my carer in my electric wheelchair in the homes fully equipped wheelchair bus. The availability of a cheerful full-time physio is a bonus."

"Not being able to care for myself due to my health and becoming permanently in bed, my daughter found The Manor to be the best home for my needs. The staff despite being few in number are so extremely kind and caring and do their best to make my days as happy and comfortable as they can, always answering the bell as quickly as possible. It takes 10 minutes to reach an emergency, which when only 4 or 5 carers isn't much time for them tho of course when urgent for toilet seems a long time for a resident. I am so grateful for all they do as they work very hard as nothing is too much for them. Everyone in the home works together as a team trying their best for each of the residents. I am grateful my daughter found this home as it gives me my private room to make a home for my friends and family to visit without affecting others and spend time together."

"I am very happy with The Manor Care Home for my mother. Helpful and caring staff, lovely location and surrounding, ensuite rooms - good size. My mum has been here for 5 years and she is happy. Her health needs have always been helped and met. Good food. My mother is very happy here. She is bed ridden but enjoys the happy and friendly environment."

"My wife moved into The Manor August 2016. She was somewhat confused, to begin with, but every member of staff expressed concern for her constantly taking any opportunity to make her feel safe and comfortable. That has continued every day and my wife is happy and has made friends with all staff. Myself, I feel happy knowing she is in a caring, friendly home."

"The Manor is first class at the moment the carers and staff have done a great job in supporting my wife. I ask the staff every day how she is and they update me. They have done an amazing job in healing a pressure sore she has had - I am very pleased. The food I can't fault or the care - it's fantastic. I am proud to say my wife is at The Manor."

"A lovely home. The staff here are very kind and caring. They feed us well and have physio which is great, they take us out on the minibus to different places and are always doing different fun days. The manager and deputy are nice and funny. The nurses are very kind and helpful. The kitchen is good too but it's the carers who sell it for me. They look after us very well and our friends. They are always busy doing something but also always make time for us."

"It's not just December, but all year round. That my wife is looked after exceptionally well at The Manor. Their love and devotion is second to none. I live 17 miles away and there is a care home in my village and other nearby, but I don't think they come close to The Manor."

"I was brought to this home after 7 very happy years in another care home but to my great surprise, I was soon made so very much at home, just as I had been in my past home. It was as if we were one big happy family. My daughter had been able to make my room just as if I was in my own home. All the care staff lived up to their name and extremely caring. The sad thing, not enough when desperate for the toilet - bell system has to go right through to emergency very often. This is not the carer's fault, just too few of them. Most residents need two carers! They are extremely loving, devoted folk who work well with nurses, activities and other staff, who are all doing their best for us residents. This includes household, chefs, hosts and kitchen staff. We have an excellent manager and deputy manager who work well together for the good of the home but also excellent nurses. It is like being one large family so often."

"This care home is outstanding. The manager is wonderful and has taken such good care of me and my wife. I cannot fault her and the team. They have helped me with applications for funding and written letters, put me in touch with professionals and have always come when my wife needed them. I cannot thank them enough for their kindness. They deserve so much more recognition and I am truly grateful. They go through my wife's care with me every month and keep me updated with how she is. The manager even gave me a Birthday card and a little cake as we have no family. They truly care about everyone."

"A fantastic care home in the most beautiful surroundings. The home has recently been refurbished and offers outstanding nursing care. Although the upstairs unit has not yet been decorated, it is the quality of care that is the best. The new manager is very friendly and kind and her deputy is very knowledgeable about the home. You can hear lots of laughter around the home. It's nice to see that staff treat residents as equals. My relative is so well looked after. Has recently put on weight, has plenty to do and has all her needs met. I will soon be booking my room."
