Reviews for Caldy Manor Care Home

"I am so glad that my mother spent her last four years at Caldy Manor Care Home, this really is a special place - not only are the house and grounds wonderful to live in but the love and care from every member of staff was exceptional. The manager leads a fantastic team by example, showing real love and respect for all of the residents. Every effort was made to make my mother feel at home and a valued member of the family and, despite her growing dementia, she regularly joined in with many activities and outings that added tremendously to her quality of life. During the last few days of Mum's life, the care staff did everything possible to give support to the family and allow my mother to die with dignity in her final home. The manager herself joined in with shifts of sitting at Mum's bedside and kept us updated when we could not be there. Staff members even turned up to the funeral to pay their respects. I can't say a big enough 'Thank You' to all!"

"My father received excellent care at Barchester Caldy Manor Care Home. All the staff were kind, attentive and efficient. They should be very proud of the service they provide. The room was warm and comfortable. Lovely gardens and places to walk."

"My relative has been at Caldy Manor Care Home for a few years and always had super love and care. This year she was in hospital. The Caldy Manor team, through this time, were absolutely exceptional with their care and support. They visited our relative when they had finished their shift, brought in perfumes, photos and creams to make them comfortable. They sat and talked to our relative for hours. The manager was an absolute rock for my brother and I, sending us messages of support, checking in on us and how we were coping, offering to bring us food, sit with our relative to give us time to sleep/shower, we felt like her number one priority. She was there with us every step of the way. We couldn't have gotten through it without her. The hospital said our relative wouldn't walk again but the manager didn't accept this - she has supported with care, arranging physio and now our relative is standing again. They never gave up on our relative and the care is above and beyond - truly exceptional."

"We recently attended the care home for a family day. We had the best time, the atmosphere was so happy, the residents were all included and the staff made sure no one was left out! The company that brought the animals for us all to look at where amazing and were fabulous with the residents."

"We have been very pleased with Caldy Manor since Mum moved in 30 months ago. Mum has become relaxed and far less anxious than previously. The staff and their care have been the primary reason for this. Not only are they attentive, but their time in the role makes for an ongoing, familiar environment. Add to that the diverse and frequent range of activities, and it is easy to see why Mum has improved. We are very happy that Mum moved to Caldy Manor."

"My Father-in-Law has lived at Caldy Manor for seven years so we have got to know the colleagues there and the premises quite well with family visiting every couple of days. I have visited a number of care homes and Caldy Manor stands apart as having a beautiful environment, quality surroundings, food choices and levels of cleanliness. This is a beautiful old Manor House staffed with a full range of highly skilled and caring people. In summer the gardens are more accessible and are beautifully maintained. The level of care - and clear love - that colleagues at Caldy Manor showed for my Father-in-Law was exceptional; he clearly had become part of their family and nothing he required was too much. Thank you so much to everyone at Caldy Manor for making my Father-in-Law so comfortable and to feel so welcomed."

"Caldy Manor is unlike many purpose-built care homes and doesn’t have a clinical feel. It is a lovely old Manor House set in a pretty garden with a terrace residents can sit out on. The welcome I received was warm and genuine. The staff were professional and caring and treated residents with kindness, dignity and respect. The home feels like a family."

"My mother moved into Caldy Manor four months ago. Considering her circumstances, 90 with dementia, Mum settled into the home so quickly. From day one, I have been very impressed with the quality of care; all interactions I have seen between staff and residents have been incredibly friendly and supportive – a very caring, professional and well-run home. The relatively smaller home, in terms of the number of residents, helps create a supportive family atmosphere. Considerable efforts are made to provide a range of events for the residents. The facilities, including lounge, bedroom, communal areas, dining room etc, are all maintained to a high standard, with a lovely area outside for drinks and/or walks in the garden. Moving an aged parent into a care home is never an easy decision, but I can honestly say moving Mum into Caldy Manor was the best decision we could have made, and we are extremely happy with the standard of care and attention. Thank you."

"It is eight months since my parents' arrival here. The staff supported them in their greatest wish to stay together till the end, when Mum passed away in February. The staff have always been kind, respectful and cheerful, trying hard to care for each person individually, whilst balancing this with the needs of other residents. They have an intuitive sense as to just how much care will be accepted without irritating or aggravating residents. They try to encourage residents to get involved in group activities and outings, and to live as full and happy a life as possible but respect Dad when he chooses to be in his room. Staff do everything they can to facilitate family and friends visiting, for meals in and trips out. My family and I have talked often over the last few months with the manager and other staff, and are always made to feel valued, even when staff are busy. The manager is a very caring, perceptive, readily available, and she leads a fantastic team of people. Thank you."

"My mother spent twelve months on Memory Lane. The staff kept her looking immaculate as they do all the residents. However, this home should not take dementia patients. My mother was unceremoniously told to leave between Christmas and New Year because the staff could not cope with her behaviour, but they advertise dementia care. I think training is lacking especially de-escalation training. I was not allowed back in her room, staff bought bags and boxes out to the car park. This is no way to treat a 97-year-old lady. Memory lane needs increased staffing."

"My 90-year-old father had respite care in Clady Manor. He was treated very well, with courtesy and respect. He enjoyed the food and the activities provided. The staff are friendly and fellow residents provided him with good companionship. He was happy and said all the staff did their best. The manager is insightful, intuitive and makes every effort to treat all residents as individuals. She is a superb manager, kind and caring to relatives as well. Thank you"

"My Mother-in-Law has been a resident in Caldy Manor for the past 12 months and the care and kindness shown to her by all the staff is excellent. The hard work and dedication of all the Caldy Manor team is second to none and they certainly go that extra mile to ensure that residents are comfortable and well care for. My Mother-in-law is so happy at Caldy Manor and has made many friends and feels safe and is happy to now engage with people and join in with many of the interesting activities that the team members provide. She is a changed woman and her new home at Caldy manor has improved her overall well-being."

"It's not an easy decision to move a parent into a care environment. We were nervous, emotional and worried about what the future held. However, the understanding, time and professionalism shown by the manager were exemplary. She settled all our nerves and helped us make the right decision showing the right level of support throughout the process. My mum was there for 6 weeks and thrived. She enjoyed the company and structure of the day and looked forward to the afternoon activities. All the staff we met were supportive and helpful and showed genuine care and thoughtfulness to both my mum and us. I would definitely recommend Caldy - Mum is booked back for a return visit this month. Thank you."

"A massive thank you to the manager and her team at Caldy Manor, Dad stayed here for a weeks respite whilst Mum had a well-deserved break. Dad was treated and cared for very well.

"Caldy Manor is unique. As soon as you arrive up the driveway the house has character and a warmth that is attractive. The same is true of the staff and the ethos of the home, we were always welcomed in and their communication with us was reliable and informative. It gave you the feeling that you knew what was going on and how your relative was faring. Their care of our relative was second to none and he became part of their ‘family’. They always went the second mile both for him and for us as we lived a distance away. We were sorry that he needed to go to a nursing home in the end as we knew he loved it at Caldy Manor. Thank you to all the staff for making the home such a special place."

"My parents stayed at Caldy Manor at the end of February whilst my wife and I enjoyed a holiday. The care and kindness they received from the staff was excellent as was the attention to their minor medical needs. The home is spotlessly clean and the food was excellent, I know as I stayed for lunch before leaving them. Neither of my parents (both in their 90's) have ever had "respite" care before and remain quite independent in their own home, so it was with some apprehension that I made these arrangements. The manager too visits their home prior to their stay allayed any fears that my parents had and knowing that they were safe and in good hands made our holiday all the more relaxing. Many thanks indeed to everyone at Caldy Manor and we hope to do the same again later in the year."

"From the moment our frail 93-year-old mum entered Caldy Manor, she was treated with care, kindness and respect. The staff were all 5-star in terms of understanding her needs from the cleaners, chef, carers and management. Everyone saw her as an individual. Sadly, her Dementia deteriorated rapidly and we were advised that a nursing assessment was being organised. This happened very promptly, allowing us to move her to a nursing unit in a timely fashion. Even after she had left Caldy Manor, the staff kept in touch with us to find out how she was."

"Making the decision for a loved one to go into care is not an easy one. However, since our very first contact with the staff at Caldy Manor, we had known the decision was the right one. Everyone on the team, from catering and estates to carers and management, has welcomed my mum and our family with a genuine warmth and kindness that has been really touching. The care my mum has received has been second to none. Nothing is ever too much trouble and there is a family feel to the place that makes it very special."

"We chose Caldy Manor Care home for my Mum and Dad for several reasons but the main reason was the staff. All their daughters live in Australasia! My Dad passed away in March 2018 and the staff were amazing, helping my Mum to cope with the loss. My Mum now considers Caldy as home. The staff look after my Mum as if she was family. I cannot say how grateful I am to them for all the loving care. They try to take Mum out of the home - she is wheelchair bound, so it is hard. But Mum LOVES to go out and the staff try as hard as they can to do this. This month, 2 carers took my Mum to Birkenhead to see Prince Harry and Megan. She actually met Harry - who held her hand and talked to her for 5 mins, then Megan also held her hand! None of this would have been possible without the kindness of the staff involved. The food is amazing - I love eating there! I cannot recommend this home more highly."

"Our families have had three residents at Caldy Manor. Sadly one died this summer but the care and compassion shown to us all was above and beyond what would be expected, all the staff put themselves out to help relatives at that difficult time. More recently we wanted to have a surprise birthday party for a reluctant relative again super cooperation and nothing was too much trouble. It was a great success even enjoyed by the person who didn't want any fuss."

"Having visited numerous care homes during the last few months, so that we could assess the various needs required for my brother, at long last, we have found the answer. CALDY MANOR. As soon as we entered this beautiful building we felt such a relief. Invited to stay for a very nice lunch and a tour of the rooms - each being individual and tastefully decorated - we were so impressed. The staff are unbelievable. At all times checking the needs of the residents, making sure that they have everything they want or need, are happy and content/chatting/laughing/discussing/listening, or just sitting quietly, stroking a hand. As we said to each other, "If you had to go into a care home, you would not choose anywhere else" Would we recommend Caldy Manor? Indeed we would."

"I was impressed with the genuineness of the care and how deeply it was embedded in the culture. My impression was that this caring attitude was so strong it would survive a change at the senior leadership level. An example was the tenderness with which a carer held and stroked the hand of a very immobile lady. Wow! It was not the only example of this kind. The compassion came shining through."

"My brother and his wife were living in Yorkshire and they came to the Caldy Manor in April 2012. They had been living in their own home, with some help. My brother was diagnosed with dementia about 12months before they came to Caldy Manor. My brother had had a fall and broken his hip, during the time he was in hospital, his wife, my sister in law, stayed with us in Wirral. They only have one son, who lives in America, he requested I find them a care home in Wirral, for them to have the support of my family. Caldy Manor, at present, is not as good as it was in 2012."

"Caldy Manor is in a beautiful old building set in landscaped gardens overlooking the River Dee. In September 2016 I needed to find respite care for my 88-year-old mother on Wirral. The manager went beyond the call of duty by offering to drive to North Wales to assess her, a round trip of 180 miles! Within days my mother was admitted to Caldy Manor and is now a resident there. We are both grateful to the kind, friendly and dedicated staff for the professional care she is receiving. As a result, I can fully recommend Caldy Manor."

"Mum and dad went to Caldy Manor in August 2014 and were made very welcome - they settled in as well as can be expected - with such a life changing experience. We lost mum this January and I feel that everybody at Caldy Manor have helped dad tremendously. I go to see dad at least 3/4 times a week so I do feel I am in a positive position to be aware of how residents are treated - always with dignity. As expected I have had a few concerns and I find the manager and deputy very willing and helpful, and feel assured that they will do everything to put things right - even if not immediately. All the seniors and staff are very approachable. The staff turnover has been exceptionally high over the last 1 and a half years and I hope we can go through a more settled period. One of my concerns has been 'stimulation' and entertainment, these areas are being actioned positively with new initiatives and a new staff member."

"My Mum has been in Caldy Manor now for 2 years she has Alzheimer's. Although initially this was a difficult decision we could not have been happier with the care we have received. The staff are outstanding, kind and thoughtful - nothing is too much trouble. All residents have their hair done weekly and there is entertainment on a daily basis. In the warmer weather the residents can be found outside eating ice lollies and enjoying the lovely gardens. The atmosphere is friendly and happy and you can always help yourselves to a cup of tea or stay for lunch or dinner. I feel really lucky that my Mum is here at Caldy I feel that her care is excellent and the little touches throughout the home, flowers etc make it a lovely warm welcoming home. Smells lovely and your welcome anytime at all. As a Nurse I feel that I can recommend Caldy both as a professional but most importantly as a daughter."

"This is, without doubt, the most impressive home from among the 18 I contacted/visited when looking for appropriate medium-term respite for my 86 year old dad. The settings are fantastic, every single member of staff that I have met are genuinely interested in dad's welfare and well-being and the facilities are excellent. Caldy Manor represents excellent value for money and has the added reassurance of good ratings by the Care Quality Commission. In addition, the weekly 'surgery' held at the home by the local GP, as well as the determination of the staff to ensure that all external health care providers fulfil their duties ensures piece of mind - not least because prior to dad's stay, trying to co-ordinate, chase or manage his health needs from among the various providers was almost impossible. Dad, who has previously been averse to the idea of a care home, is happy, settled and enjoying his time at Caldy Manor."
