My 99yr old Father stayed at this care home for respite care so I could go on holiday.
He was quite nervous at first but within minutes he felt at ease as all the team were so welcoming and friendly
He told me how much he enjoyed his stay and commented that it was more like a 5 star hotel with the addition of an attentive care team.
He is now encouraging me to book another holiday quite soon.

My grandma lives here, she seems to like it.

Staff who have made a difference...Shelby, Martyr, Debbi, Hanner. Standard of care has declined since the pandemic.

Care homes don't come any better than this! from the welcome you get when you arrive to all the brilliant staff doing a wonderful job caring for the residents
Edward Hodgkiss

We looked around a few care homes for my father-in-law who has dementia issues among a few other issues. 9 months in we have found it to be great - staff are excellent all-around from Mark, Hannah and Louisa through to the care team (hi Nii), catering and entertainment team as well as the maintenance lads (hi Ian) we could not have wished for a more friendly warm environment. I recommend looking at the home’s Facebook page as they post pictures of events and outings that they do - all in all could not recommend this care home more…

"We had little choice where my mother in law would go but we feel we've hit the jackpot. Mother in law has always been a worrier but she loves Barchester and considers it home. Every time we go (at varying times) the place is spotless and the staff are genuine caring people. Lots of activities and great social media so can see mother in law nearly every day. We feel so blessed. Thank you to all, a credit to Barchester."

"We received excellent service all round and so friendly - no hesitation in going back again. We were well received, well looked after and my sister enjoyed her stay with you. Next time she hopes to get into the garden if the weather is warm enough."

"I visited my father just before lunchtime. I apologised for the bad timing. The staff made me feel welcome and suggested perhaps I could eat with my father even at such short notice. The wonderful staff sat myself and Dad down together and set a table in the conservatory lounge area. It was incredibly generous to allow us to experience this precious quality time together. Moments like this mean a lot. The food was delicious too. Many thanks."

"My friend was increasingly needy - requiring all physical care including feeding. She always looked clean and tidy, well dressed and cared for. She was usually up and positioned so she could interact if she wished. With more qualified nurses or physiotherapists care could be improved - my friend developed foot drop and contractures. Overall the staff were kind and gentle in their interactions."

"Fantastic place for people to call home. We didn't have chance to look round Boroughbridge Manor before my mum was taken there. We cannot believe our luck, Mum loves it there. The staff are so very kind, always a lovely warm welcome for families visiting."

"Mum has Alzheimer's Disease and has been resident at Boroughbridge Manor for 2 1/2 years. Over that time, and certainly since the last CQC Assessment, there have been changes. The Management Team have been working hard to improve procedures to improve quality of care and experience for residents. Staffing is an issue everywhere in the care sector, but also the quality. All staff I have dealings with are kind, caring and work extremely hard to provide the best environment possible. All Care Homes are dealing with challenges at the moment, and there are always improvements to be made, but overall I think that Boroughbridge Manor remains the best Care Home in local area that is able to meet Mum's needs, and I cannot thank all of the staff enough."

"Emergency Respite was prescribed by mums district nurses and organised by the Council Adult social care team. A place was found at Boroughbridge Manor and mum has been there for a week now. Communication with the staff is excellent, they are all well presented, very helpful, kind and caring towards my mum, and other residents. I have noticed a massive improvement in mum already.! The rooms are kept immaculate, it's lovely and warm, mum is enjoying the lovely food menu, visitor drinks are readily available, even fresh cake. All the staff seem very happy in the hard career they have, so I'd also like to take this opportunity in thanking them all also."

"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."

"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."

"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 really do find that the staff are very caring and considerate. My friend seems to be very well looked after. However, I do believe that persuading her to have a 'bubbly' bath may help her relax, as at times she seems quite agitated."

"The best thing about The Manor is the staff. They are so friendly and helpful, and although my friend is not always kind and appreciative, she is dealt with in the best way possible. The Manor is clean, modern and welcoming. What would make you believe me is the fact that I say to my kids I would like to end up here!"

"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."

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."

"I was most impressed by the attitude of the carers and administration staff towards the patients in their care. Problems were dealt with in a gentle but effective manner and they were quick to come to assist when needed. I was pleased to hear that recreational activities such as armchair exercises were included in the itinerary. The food looked excellent and the clientele was obviously enjoying it. Congrats to the chef!"

"Mum has been resident for 2 years now, and I am so pleased that I moved her to The Manor. During the last 12 months there have been issues with staff/management changes but throughout all the upheaval the staff continued to be caring, kind, and helpful. They treat Mum with dignity, and engage with her regularly in passing. I should like more interaction from the carers with her, but they do not appear to have enough time to sit and chat. The food is very good, and the numerous activities keep Mum occupied. It appears that there may have been a head office directive recently, which has reduced the number of social media entries each day, relating to daily activities. Social media is an exceptional way to keep on top of what Mum does on a daily basis. The photos not only give me peace of mind, but also help to remind Mum of activities that she has undertaken. I would highly recommend Boroughbridge Manor, the new management team have made noticeable improvements and the staff are amazing."

"I found this home to have a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff: smart, efficient, courteous and seemed happy in their work. High standards of care, hygiene and comfort apparent. The gorgeous 'scottie' dog, an essential member of the team, making it feel so homely. My brother was treated with dignity, humour and always kindness. Staff always went- the extra mile, to make life comfortable or happier. For example, taking the trouble of bringing the phone to my brother to chat with him; keeping a Christmas cake aside until family came after it arrived in the post. Switching football matches on television at the time for an important game. This despite being overworked and under paid for caring for such vulnerable people as my lovely but challenging brother. Thank you all so very much. I would rate this home to be the best on offer in the locality!!"

"The Manor had a warm, happy feeling as soon as we walked Dad in through the door. Dad said he thought the place felt "very jolly". My sister and I have both experienced support for us as we hope to see Dad settle in well. Dad has his own appointed carer who closely helps him each day and monitors his progress, as he familiarises to a new 'home' and routines. It is difficult for Dad to accept change at this stage of his life and settling him in can be challenging at times, but all the staff, from manager to activity, catering and maintenance staff, are to be highly commended in welcoming him and helping him to adjust to new surroundings, routines and have encouraged him to join in with the varied activities. It has been impressive to see the numerous and wide variety of activities provided daily and Dad has enjoyed his first group outing on the minibus. We are reassured to see his happy smiling face."

"I was very taken with the gentle way my very fragile mum was cared for during my visit yesterday. She resides on the middle floor. She was beautifully dressed and well-presented. She isn't well and after lunch, she was put ti bed, tucked up and looked so comfortable. Her own bed linen had been used on the bed for the first time which again, touched me. The staff are gentle. Thank you everyone. Your tender care is a great comfort to me."

"Everything is done to accommodate residents' interests as well as their care and well-being. Staff all show patience and care and the surroundings combine homeliness with a high standard of furnishings. Management's presence and availability are apparent and they and staff seem to be very observant regarding residents and visitors. In my own case, management quickly observed I was very stressed about my husband's financial situation and gave me opportunities to "off-load" saying relatives were of concern to them as well as residents!"

"My Aunt was very reluctant to move into 'a home'. However, from the moment she arrived, staff went out of their way to say hello, introduce themselves and help settle her in. She is encouraged to participate in all the lovely events, but also given the chance to sit out should she wish. The regular social media postings show her confidence has built and the beaming photographs comfort us in knowing she is happy and the right choice was made for her own health and safety. All staff are approachable and she enjoys the food and other residents company. The home and rooms are spotless. I would wholeheartedly recommend Barchester Boroughbridge Manor Care home, you could not be in safer hands!"

"When you can no longer look after your loved one and a family needs help to do that, you think nowhere will be good enough! How wrong we were. All the staff at Boroughbridge Manor Care Home go above and beyond to care for and support that reason. They give so much more than we could do ourselves or even with a package of care in their own home. Certainly, the best choice we made. But most importantly mum is happy and safe! Thank you"

"My friend suffers from dementia and was frightened and anxious upon her admission. The staff were amazing and brilliant through this transition. We are two weeks post admission and she has completely settled, this is down to the staff who clearly know how to work with residents and issues created through this awful disease. My friend is going from strength to strength and as a result, I can highly recommend this dementia unit with no qualms at all."

"I can recommend The Boroughbridge Manor for the highest accolade, they are taking great care of my father and go above and beyond to ensure he has the best care from the kindest, most caring team. The team are outstanding and has a wonderful sense of humour and is always very positive, I was worried about taking the steps for Dad to move into care but he is better now than he has been for some time and I cannot thank the excellent team enough. They are always very welcoming when family visit too and the place is immaculate in a lovely location too."
