Reviews for The Manor Care Home

"David was only a resident here for a few days, but was made comfortable & peaceful. All staff acted with dignity, care and friendliness. Can highly recommend Manor Care Home. Top marks from our family. Wonderful people."

"I am a retired doctor with experience of Care Homes. During 8 days, I visited Manor Care Home to see a friend who was dying. He had a cardiac condition, which made it too difficult for him to be cared for at home, and he was too old for heart surgery to correct his problem. The first thing which strikes you when visiting Manor Care Home is the absence of the characteristic smell of Care Homes. This is only achieved by meticulous housekeeping. The Care Assistants who looked after my friend were always calm, kind and gentle, even when he displayed his highly developed stubbornness. Because of his illness, he was not keen to eat or drink, which did not help his condition, but it is a choice that people with mental capacity can make. This situation was handled splendidly. I have given Manor Care Home a 5-star rating and would happily recommend it to anyone considering care of a loved one."

"Too long responding to a toilet call for patients such as my wife. Her lack of mobility means that the response is often too long and the result is she often wets or soils herself. In most other respects the staff are excellent, very caring and friendly."

Manor is a welcoming home where staff go above and beyond to make residents feel comfortable and cared for

"I am very happy here. Everyone is very helpful."

"In my time here as a resident I have been very happy with most things but in particular I have enjoyed the activities groups, in particular the knitting club."

"My mother-in-law was admitted to The Manor for palliative care. She was admitted quickly and her admission was smooth and she was treated with dignity. She was only in The Manor for a week, but every care professional treated her with such care and dignity and that extended to our family too. Thank you for making her last few days as comfortable as possible."

"My husband was very happy here and sorry to leave. The staff are wonderful."

"My dad moved into The Manor in August 2023. He was there until his death early February 2025. The care he received was excellent, as was the communication I received from the nursing staff regarding my dad. The respect shown to Dad as he was ill + after his death was wonderful - thank you. The unit manager was really helpful + caring. A huge thank you to all staff involved in his care."

"After a very serious stroke 2 and a half years ago, my husband was diagnosed as needing 24 hour nursing care. The managers at the Manor Gate Care Home, Bishops Hall were extremely kind and helpful when my daughter and I visited her to ask for a room for him. He lived there until January this year when he sadly passed away. While there he considered it as his home. His room was spacious, all of the staff there were very kind, friendly and helpful to all the residents and cheerful. They were most considerate to myself and our two daughters. He loved the meals, as did we all, and thought everything tasted homemade. The Manor was always warm and cozy. All the staff were extremely cheerful, friendly and helpful. He was always clean and tidy. We would recommend this home to anyone, and often do."

"Excellent food and helpers and nurses."

"I have been at Barchester The Manor Care Home for five years now. I was in another care home but I was not making progress with my mobility and my husband had to return to his work in Cyprus. So my family brought me to The Manor because of the physio care and physiotherapist on site Monday to Fridays. I am still doing physiotherapy every day (I am confined to a wheelchair. I have had two strokes and need a hoist to get in and out of bed to my chair). The carers here are very good to me, only them or me often sharing a conversation. The provision of daily activities is excellent and especially, for someone like me with and interest in music and arts and crafts. I am blessed by children (grown up, over 40 years) living nearby."

"I enjoy living here and everyone is very helpful."

"Clean, spacious, homely spaces. Residents are treated individually and good relationships with all staff adopted. Food is delicious and hydration facilities available. The general manager is hard-working, professional, friendly, positive and exceptionally kind. Overall, wonderful home."

Visited this care home yesterday and was completely over-awed by the ambience, location, facilities, and welcoming, caring staff. Such a homely feel and first class conditions, you could feel like you were at a 5-star hotel. Lovely gardens and quiet courtyards. The food provided by the kitchen staff for the occasion was ample and delicious. The Manor Care home, Taunton, would certainly be at the top of my list for consideration as a place to live if I needed care for myself or a family member.

Recently attended a celebration garden party at The Manor care home and it was wonderful. Residents families were invited along with past staff members and many more, the atmosphere was fabulous. Sunshine showed off the beautiful well maintained gardens that are easily accessible for all to relax and enjoy. Staff made sure that residents from the whole home were helped, where needed, to enjoy the afternoon and were attentive throughout. Homemade food of a great standard was offered, barbecue went down a treat, live music and choir performance. Everyone had big smiles for the duration, well done to all who attended and assisted with the party, you truly went above and beyond. Couldn’t recommend The Manor enough.
