What our families say: Boroughbridge Manor Care Home

"Over the last 5 years we have seen the hard work and dedication of the team at Boroughbridge and particularly the manager. It's wonderful to say that every effort has been made to make my aunt more comfortable. Clearly, the COVID restrictions made life more challenging, but again the staff were outstanding. Thank you."

"Every time I have been to visit my mother-in-law, I have been greeted by professional, friendly staff. Manor Care Home is very modern, clean and bright; the pictures on the wall are very interesting. The staff looking after the residents obviously enjoy their job and encourage motivation. Even the maintenance staff enjoy being part of the team."

Mum has settled amazingly well, and the staff are responsive to her needs, reacting quickly when needed.

"The initial phone call, as with everything, was very welcoming. My mother had been a resident there roughly 2013-2015. Extremely lucky I have used it for every area because everything was faultless, and I was reassured every night about my husband, who was a respite client. He has offered to go back so I can rest. A brilliant stay."

"I have now visited the Manor three times and on these occasions, I have found one particular member of staff exceptional in her pleasant demeanour and application to her job. Your rules do not allow me to mention her name but I feel she is an attribute to the Manor. This has made my visits easier as I have not had any previous experience of dementia. Although I am not a relative I have been very close to the resident for over 25 years and probably have more personal knowledge than her family, who do not live locally but are caring and visit as often as possible."

"This was the first time I had visited anyone in a care home so it is a bit soon to give a detailed recommendation. However, I found the staff extremely helpful and friendly.

"My father was admitted as an emergency last weekend to Boroughbridge Manor. The staff have treated him with dignity, compassion and have helped the family to settle him into the manor. The manager and his team have done everything we have asked to help dad to settle in. I couldn’t have asked for a more loving home for him to be in. Thanks to all."

"My father was recently admitted to Boroughbridge Manor on the advice of his GP following a fall and a rapid deterioration in his cognitive ability. This was a new experience for the family. The care home manager and his team have been extremely kind and helpful both getting my father settled into the home at very short notice and answering any queries we had. I would highly recommend Boroughbridge Manor for care of our elderly family members."

"My father moved into Boroughbridge Manor during Covid-19 lockdown and whilst I have not seen the inside of the building, I have enjoyed socially distanced meetings in the garden and hope for many more visits to the new visiting suite. My father loves being outdoors and it is good to know that he can wander freely in the secure gardens. The staff are kind and caring. Nothing is too much trouble for them."

"Boroughbridge Manor admitted my Brother-in-Law in difficult circumstances. Their procedures and staff were sensitive and caring throughout. Ever since the staff have continued to provide a level of care which can only be described as exemplary. Regular medical assessments and check ensure that any potential problems are identified early and dealt with. The comfort, happiness and welfare of their residents is always their priority."

"I booked a visit with mum in the Covid 19 safe suite. It was sunny when I arrived, warm and comfortable. The staff brought mum in to her side and we had 30 mins 'together' with a glass screen and intercom. I was pleased to see mum had received a haircut - long overdue but the visit was hard work due to mum's dementia. I feel the visit benefitted me more than mum. She was tidily dressed and clean and engaged with staff well."

"Mum has been in residential care for a year and the care has been very good overall, the care staff have, throughout this challenging time, been friendly and approachable though at times perhaps a little understaffed and not able to spend as much time with Mum or the other residents as we would wish. As with all homes, there are always a few niggles; the odd lost piece of clothing but nothing out of the ordinary and the food is good and flexible to suit which is important. The admin staff are all great, can’t praise them enough, as are the nursing and care staff. The home has been excellent in its dealing with COVID in our minds and experience, including creating a visitors' room that allows face to face communication in a COVID secure manner. The home staff have been diligent in supporting Mum in securing her needs with the local GP and ran an excellent programme of engagement in crafts etc pre-pandemic. So, all in all, we are very happy as is Mum."

"I arrived at Boroughbridge and there was a little confusion about my booking. The Home Administrator couldn't have been more helpful - immediately sorted and my mum was brought into the garden and the administrator fetched her a blanket. One of the activity coordinators came over and chatted and gave my mum a hug (very genuine) as I know she can't at present hug her own mum. The home and staff have always been excellent to both my mum and us as a family."

"My mother has been a resident at Boroughbridge Manor for five years now, I can't begin to explain how much respect and admiration I have for the staff there, my mother is stimulated and happy. I've seen my mum turn from an anxious and unhappy person when she was still in the family home into jolly, approachable and relaxed person who has a constant smile on her face, she participates in various activities and enjoys a well balanced diet, all whilst being secure and kept in good physical health. Myself and my family could not have offered my mother the stimulation and care she has experienced had she been at home with us. Thank you, thank you, thank you Boroughbridge Manor for everything you do for my mother the resident, for my father when he visits and for myself when I need clear explanation of what is going on. That goes to every single staff member, thank you."

"My wife has been resident at Boroughbridge Manor for around 8 months now and my son and I (husband) have visited her nearly every week. We have been very impressed to see how well she has been looked after from the beginning. The staff at all levels are so helpful to her, kind and understanding. We could not wish for any better treatment of her. She is improving by having a number of people to talk to and to join in some activities which are well encouraged. We have had lunch with my wife there and lately on Xmas day which was most enjoyable. Overall Boroughbridge Manor together with staff, is a rather impressive establishment."

It stood head and shoulders above other homes we looked at. The staff are helpful, approachable, caring and cheery with the residents. The home is clean and homely and the food is good. I feel my father is well cared for and content. I would recommend this care home to other people."

"I have no other choice but to take my wife to Boroughbridge Manor Care Home because of the severity of her Alzheimer's condition. She would not respond to me feeding, washing and the necessary attentions that I was trying to apply to her. She lost 1 and a half stones in weight and the care home was the only answer. Since her admission to this care home she has gained 4 and a half pounds in 6 days. The staff are absolutely first class. She is cared for by extremely competent and caring staff. She now has showers daily and is given clean clothes every single day. This is an extremely well run care home."

"My Mother was assessed by the team who work at the care home at her home address, they acted quickly on the results of the review. My Mother was allocated a room very quickly and was taken in. The care home is clean and very well run, the staff are always very helpful, and the improvement in the well-being and outlook on life has improved with my Mother. My Mother is very settled in the home, the only issue we have is with the local authority and the funding of the care that my Mother needs. My Mother has Alzheimer's and Vascular Dementia so the Boroughbridge Manor is the correct care home for my Mother's needs."

"As soon as we arrived with mum for her respite care, we were greeted very warmly. This continued all through her stay. We were always offered a drink. The staff always smiled and addressed mum by her Christian name. Every effort was made to make mum's stay pleasant. She was encouraged to join the other residents for lunch etc but if it was not her wish then meals were served in her room. We could not fault the staff as they helped us with care issues for mum and their knowledge of care matters was very encouraging."

"My parents were both at another home before moving to Boroughbridge Manor to obtain the more specialised care that they had begun to need. The move was organised by the two homes, went very smoothly and they have settled well. I find visiting difficult as it breaks their routine and my father especially is reluctant to engage. The staff are all extremely helpful in trying ways to improve these visits. They are also very kind to me."

"My mum has Frontal Lobe Dementia and when looking for a Care Home it was awful. As soon as I walked into Boroughbridge Manor though, straight away I knew this was the home for her. The manager came out to mum's home to assess her and was so nice and caring and professional during this hard time. It took mum a good few months to adjust to Boroughbridge Manor but the staff were absolutely brilliant! Now, mum has a great relationship with many of the carers there and it's so nice to see. Whenever there has been an issue with mum the home have always called me promptly and been very professional and caring. Mum has been there for over a year now and she went in at aged 57 and I couldn't be happier with her care. Thank you much to everyone who works there, including the cleaners and chefs and of course the carers. I could say so much more but there's not enough room. Thank you!"

"I found Boroughbridge Manor whilst looking at care homes for my friend with double dementia. The home is superb, clean, modern, bright and airy with en-suite shower rooms. The staff have all been amazing especially during the initial settling in period. The transition went really well due to the care, compassion understand and friendliness of the staff. The events and activities laid on everyday help my friend to become a part of the home. No problem is too small to be dealt with immediately. I have nothing but praise for giving my friend the best quality of life she can attain."

"When my brother reached the age of 65 he had to leave the home for disabled young people in which he had lived for 40 years. We had a long and depressing search to find a new home for him. Finding Boroughbridge Manor was a great relief. It was the first home we had looked at that had wide corridors and doors, suitable for my brothers electric wheel chair together with a well maintained and accessible garden. The manager at the time could not have been more helpful in settling my brother into his new home. A profile bed with ripple mattress was arranged and his sky television service set up. Boroughbridge Manor has now been my brother's home for two years. During this time the home has been extensively redecorated and the communal areas refurbished giving a bright and open feeling to the home. A new manager has recently been appointed and she could not have been more helpful in dealing with day to day issues relating to my brother's care. We remain very happy with the services provided by the home."
