Reviews for Adlington Manor Care Home

Fiona and her team cared for my beloved Uncle towards the end of his life. He had a special bed, lovely room and his favourite ice cream and tipple. They sorted him straight away on his arrival, laundered his clothes and made him comfortable. We could visit him anytime. We are so grateful to them for there kindness and great care

"After 5 months of disruption the refurb is finaly done. The overall view is great, very homely and comfortable, the carers did a great job during the refurb under dificult conditions well done all."

"The staff in ALL departments at Adlington are very helpful, professional, & patient with residents in the Rowan section where my mum currently is. I have no complaints with the care she has received or the staff. On her first day she was up, washed and dressed which is something I had not been able to get her to do for years whilst caring for her at home. I visit nearly every day & at times it can be a challenging job for the staff who do long shifts and dealing with dementia requires a lot of patience & compassion. With regards to activities some residents are unable to engage or want to, so it's a difficult one to comment on & my opinion has changed on this over the last 4 months. I feel the rooms could be better but you are allowed to do whatever you wish i.e. hang pictures change furniture etc., There are qualified nursing staff which are always available to assist in any queries you may have & put into action, also a weekly visit from a Doctor. Adlington is a lovely home with beautiful decor (recently been refurbished Rowan Suite during which time the staff coped very well). With regards to value for money putting a loved one into care is expensive, although if you break it down for 24/7 care including everything it isn't, although it's still wrong and no reflection on any care home. The only reason I would move my Mum would be due to ease of location for myself or to have her home."

"The home has gone through a period of changes and refurbishments. It has been difficult and challenging but the staff have been superb and really looked after the residents and visitors. Nothing was too much trouble. I hold my hat up to them all."

"Rowan Unit is a well-managed nursing home with caring and friendly staff where I feel confident in leaving my wife knowing she is safe and well cared for. The decor was a bit shabby but the recent refurbishment has made a great improvement. I am kept well informed and very happy with the experience."

"There are no words to describe this care home, everyone is so caring to residents and families alike. Everyone is so friendly it's incredible, my father could not have been in a better place at the end of his life, and when he turned 100, everything was done to mark this incredible milestone. Thank you to everybody who works so hard to care for residents and assist families to visit and care for their loved ones."

"Overall care has been excellent, especially because of ongoing problems from the pandemic. All the staff are very kind. More daily physio would be helpful as I had a partial hip replacement and more regular visits on Wednesday from the Doctor."

"My father had two spells at Adlington for over four months with an admission to the hospital in-between. He became increasingly frail. Throughout, we were kept fully informed of his needs and situation. Every cue was given to him medically. It was clear the staff took time to know him, comfort and support him when we couldn't due to Covid. We were able to speak with or Skype him, and carers would help. It was clear he was fond of the staff. We are grateful to all for making him as comfortable as possible."

"Nothing is too much trouble for the wonderful staff. I live 200 miles away and with all restrictions in place it has been hard to visit, it is wonderful to live so far away and have total peace of mind in knowing my mother is being cared for and treated so very well. Excellent in all aspects."

"All the staff were pleasant, helpful and efficient. The bedroom was clean and had ample space. Food was passable and the only comment I would like to make is the meals could have been better."

"I'm so glad granny is here. The staff are all so kind and whenever I visit, they make me really welcome, however busy they are. The whole ethos of the Manor is led from the top down and is so professional. They combine love and care with clinical excellence, in a way which reassures me so much, as I worry about granny and we have difficult decisions to make at this time of life. Thank you for being so open and available through all the ups and downs and for allowing our beloved dog to visit granny too. P.s On a lighter note, I love that the ladies and gentlemen can have a glass of wine and watch whatever they would like on the smart tv."

"Period of stay is nine months. Every effort is made to achieve a high standard. The major problem is they need to use agency workers. It is hard work trying to maintain standards when a chunk of the team does not have the level of commitment as your own employees. The management style is theory y rather than theory x, so the permanent staff do go the extra mile when but is not guaranteed. Agencies should be forced to show the people they send have minimal training. My stay has been enjoyable and comfortable. The staff have been supportive throughout. My thanks to all those who work there."

"My husband has been a resident for a few months, initially for assessment but then became a permanent resident. As can be expected there was a getting to know you period but things became routine after a short time. The staff are absolutely wonderful nothing requested is too much trouble and delivered with a smile and are always friendly. My husband has no complaints."

"The care home was very warm and welcoming. Everybody was very kind and helpful. respite for my husband was first-class - I had no worries whatsoever about his care. I do hope to be able to have more respite care in the near future."

"We were accommodated at short notice for a week's respite stay for our mum. She was quickly welcomed into the body of staff and introduced to fellow residents. Any incidents that occurred during her stay were reported to us immediately. The standard of care was very good and Mum developed a particular bond with a certain member of staff who has been extremely attentive to Mum, but very understanding of our needs as we used this type of service for the first time. Would definitely recommend and will be reusing this service provided."

"From the minute my mum arrived, she has been well taken care of and her interests considered. Staff have taken time to get to know my mum. They often have a joke with her and the other residents. It is nearly always a calm environment, and the staff are thoughtful and diligent. I completely trust the team to put her health first, ensuring she has all her medication. I am always told if she is unwell and what course of action will be taken. I can't recommend them highly enough."

"Although the decision to transfer my husband to this care home was made by the hospital, without my agreement, I am glad to say that I am very pleased with the care he has received over the last three months. The nurses, care workers, manager and all the other members of staff I have spoken to are friendly, kind and willing to do all they can to make my husband's life safe and contented. It is a very welcoming environment, visiting is encouraged and both facilities and meals are excellent. All his visitors, friends and family, have been very impressed by his new home."

"Adlington Manor Nursing Home's Rowan Unit is a truly exceptional facility. My friend resides in the Rowan Unit and I must say, they are very well taken care of. The residents in this unit are always happy, engaged in activities, and receive the highest level of care. I have personally witnessed the incredible job that the senior nurse and unit manager are doing. Their leadership and dedication to the residents are truly remarkable. They ensure that each resident is treated with respect, dignity, and compassion. The residents have formed a strong bond with the staff and it is evident that they are well-loved and well-cared for. Overall, I highly recommend Adlington Manor Nursing Home's Rowan Unit for anyone looking for a caring and supportive environment for their loved one. The staff's dedication, compassion, and leadership make it a top-notch facility for seniors in need of quality care."

"The care residents receive in the Rowan unit at Barchester Adlington Manor Care Home is excellent. Staff always strive to ensure the best outcome for residents. The only area for improvement that I would highlight is the furniture in the lounge, especially the sofas. Inevitable these receive constant use and abuse from residents. Currently, these are far past their best, with one even having lost its seat cushions, having two odd ones covered in a blanket."

"Barchester Adlington Manor Care Home is truly a lifesaver for our family. Our mum had been so resistant to going into a care home and so we supported her independently living at home as long as we could. After many falls and despite a lot of support, her needs became too much to facilitate care at home any longer. I saw several care homes that definitely did not meet Mum's needs (one was an absolute shocker, obviously not naming here and can only hope they buck their ideas up) but Adlington, from the moment I walked through the door, I felt was warm - as in friendly - professional, clean and the staff were super attentive. As I've got to know everyone, it's the staff that make this place very special. They are so lovely and are making my mum's last few months and hopefully years the very best they can be. She is happy and safe. That's the best outcome for our family right now. Thank you all at Adlington."

"I think the care is outstanding. Nothing is too much trouble. The staff are very friendly, both with residents and visitors alike. The staff all work well together and are totally professional while being gentle and caring to all. The food and presentation are absolutely top-notch which is so important when caring for people who don't always have the best appetite."

"Excellent manager, finger on the pulse, kind to residents and staff. I could not single out any member of staff for being excellent as they are all lovely, caring people who do a wonderful job. To me, they are very special people. Regarding food - Mum eats very little and the staff are always willing to provide alternative meals, should she not want what is on offer. The roast dinners are beautiful. Regarding value for money - (no reflection on staff) more than willing to discuss with Barchester "owners"> Of course, Mum would rather be in her own home but realises it is no longer possible. She tells me that, in light of her bungalow no longer being an option, Barchester Adlington Manor Care Home is the next best place which is great news and peace of mind."

"My father has been a resident at Barchester Adlington Manor Care Home for several years now, with severe dementia. During that time, the care he has had from the staff and management has been outstanding. From the moment he first arrived until now, the team have cared for him in such a way I have never had to doubt his welfare needs are taken care of, which gives me great comfort. It hasn't been inexpensive but what price peace of mind is where my lovely dad is concerned? Thank you."

"My father spent the last five years of his life at Barchester Adlington Manor Care Home. They were brilliant from start to finish. All of the staff were skilled, patient, caring and committed throughout. There were some tough times however, they created a good place for him which meant he was settled and peaceful, giving his wider family peace of mind too. We were always made welcome. Can't thank them enough."

"Easily the best care home in the area. I've visited many homes searching for a possible permanent care home for my mum. Adlington Manor is easily the best I can find. My mum has been here for about three months now and I've found that the staff are really lovely, kind and so patient. The rooms are large and each has a full ensuite including toilet and shower. There are nice gardens which are wheelchair friendly and several places to sit out together with conservatories too. The food looked good and there is a nice coffee lounge with fresh tea, coffee and cake available all day."

"Having seen the care and support that has been given to my mother since she just came to Adlington Manor on 29th November 2017, it is amazing to see what dedicated and professional staff can do for residents! My mother has been treated both medically and care needs, with the utmost attention to detail, resulting in a very improved quality of life for my mother (all round excellent)."

"Myself and my family are so pleased that my wife their mum has settled in at Adlington, she has challenging behaviour so is on a one to one but the staff manage her really well. My wife has been treated with dignity also so with her being so young gets pampered quite often. All of the staff are all lovely to get on with have time to listen to any concerns."

"My Mum stayed for several weeks at Adlington Manor as part of her intermediate care, prior to returning home. I cannot thank the staff for their care, kindness and genuine interest in my Mum. For example, on her birthday, I was able to join Mum for lunch at an area set aside for us. The nursing staff were quick to identify a chest infection and sought medical help quickly. There is a super range of daily activities available as well as regular entertainment. The whole care home is run extremely well by a general manager who is accessible and knowledgeable."

"Mum has been in Adlington Manor since November 2016. When she first arrived, we didn't think she would be with us for long but has made an amazing recovery. The care from the majority of the care team has been very good in difficult circumstances (she can be challenging and not accepting of help at times). She finds weekends challenging as some agency staff aren't as understanding of her needs but we are able to talk to the management team frankly about this."

"Barchester Adlington is a first-class Care Home. The staff are excellent and look after the residents well. The rooms are well furnished and comfortable. The only downside is the cost of the monthly rent as we are paying the full charge, but at least we know my wife is comfortable here."
