What our families say

I'd like to thank Laura at Barchester's Moors Manor for an excellent networking event this morning. Plus we got the opportunity to talk about our recent podcast initiative 'The Family Carer' on Spotify and YouTube. And wow the room was buzzing, great initiative to bring in local business from the area.
I'll let Laura tell you when the next one will be :-) definitely worth a visit. Excellent venue, a lovely breakfast and good networking opportunities.
Caroline Somer

Attending the business networking event at Barchester Moors Manor Care Home was an absolute pleasure! Wonderfully facilitated by Laura Morgan, the event was smooth, engaging, and well-organised.
The care home itself is truly impressive – modern, welcoming, and comfortable. It's the sort of place you'd feel happy to settle into when the time is right (though not just yet!). The building and surroundings are worth a look for anyone curious about a top-notch care environment.
It was fantastic to meet new connections and enjoy catching up with familiar faces. I'm already looking forward to the next event in 2025! Highly recommend.
Thank you! Heath Waring

What a fantastic place! Beautifully decorated and in a gorgeous setting. Attended a wonderful networking event at Moors Manor today and looking forward to attending again soon. Friendly welcoming staff and a variety of wonderful events!

Visited the home via the Business Network. The care home is spotless with a welcoming smile. Great news that its "Nursing" floor opens February 2025, offering a facility to those who need a little bit more specialist care

I have been attending Moors Manor for Networking Meetings for the last 4 months, which are hosted by Laura. These are fantastic events where like minded people come together to talk about their businesses.
The setting for the meeting is really lovely and I can fully understand why the residents and their families have so many good things to say about the premises, facilities within and staff.
I look forward to seeing you all again next month.

I visited Moors Manor for the first time in March whilst visiting a fond friend during her respite stay, and i really was so pleasantly surprised!
The home is absolutely stunning and the staff could not be more welcoming to me and so warm to my friend.
I know she very much enjoyed her stay and i loved being able to visit her in such a beautiful home.

"My father started at Moors Manor on respite care, to give me a rest. He liked it so much, we asked him - would you like to move in - yes please. He enjoys the company, care and activities, and endless supply of tea and cake. Good for my sister and I to know he is happy and well cared for."

"Dip in attention to detail this month. Not the high standard of continuity previously encountered. Front door still open on occasion early evening, cleaning of high traffic items such as door handles slipped, couple of occasions of no towel in bathroom. Closing missing or other persons clothing in cupboard. Uneven staff distribution at night?"

"This home is quite insperational with Activities, care and wellbeing. It's like a five star hotel with care. Nothing is too much trouble from all the lovely staff from management down. My sister is very happy here + would happily book myself in when the time comes! But please change the 'Brown' carpet on Memory Lane to the lovely turquoise of downstairs! Having said that, 'carer' is more important than decor. This is a 1st class care home - Thank you Moors Manor."

"My father-in-law was admitted to Moors Manor for a short spell before we lost him to dementia. But the kindness, care and compassion we were all shown in his final days was amazing. The staff did everything they could to make sure he was comfortable, and they cared for my mother-in-law, husband and sister-in-law just as beautifully. I cannot fault this service. From the staff to the facilities. The manager has built a fantastic team and as a family, we thank them."

"Since my sister came to Moors Manor following a short hospital stay. We have received nothing but kindness, care and support from all the staff at this difficult time, which is a huge comfort for relatives. The home is luxurious and my sister could not be more comfortable and cared for. Thank you so much."

"Everything about the care home is absolutely perfect - lovely, comfortable room with shower room included. Staff are so caring and helpful. Daily menu throughout my stay has been excellent with a variety as at home! I have enjoyed my care/stay and will hope to return again in the autumn when my family will be away. My grateful thanks go to all the staff who have supported my stay. Meals greatly enjoyed, just as home! You all deserve a very large thank you for your great kindness and care to detail. I have been well blessed. Will hope to come again when my daughter and son-in-law are away sometime in the autumn."

"Six months in as a permanent resident with Alzheimer's and staff are now getting to know the nature of my mother's illness and how it manifests. She regularly tells me she is happy there when questioned. Staff turnover doesn't seem to be too high which is reassuring and most staff are approachable and actively listen to feedback as my mother's condition can often give the appearance of not being as bad as it is - she is very believable! Myself and relatives attend several times a week. As my mother is currently very mobile and vocal, I cannot comment on the care of those in a less fortunate position but remain observant of this for future reference! Management has previously been suggested to attend site randomly some evenings to check the level of care continuity. Garden maintenance and variety/delivery of enrichment activities have rather declined since the spring but I acknowledge these may be related to staffing issues which should be rectified in the coming months."

"My Father came in to the home for 2 weeks respite care approximately 2 months ago and after the first week he said that he wanted to stay as a permanent resident. He has always been able to take care of himself and after a fall where he was down on the floor for 24 hours plus, he was left with quite a few issues. He has since been able to become a new man, he goes to various entertainment experiences, and gardens, does yoga, eats unaided any meal he fancies, and loves to joke with all the staff. You always feel welcome and nothing is too much trouble. Since coming to the home Dad had a stroke in the night, but he was found quickly by the staff and was only in hospital for 2 days and now is better than ever."

"Brilliant place. We were worried that our family member would not feel comfortable or settled in "a home". We need not have worried at all. He loves it. Lots of social and mental interaction. All care needs are met. The food is superb. It's like a 5-star hotel. The decor is lovely and everything is very clean and fresh. Well done!"

"The carers on Memory Lane are always attentive and go the extra mile to make my mum and the other residents feel at home. The shared dining and lounge areas, along with her room, offer a lovely view of the gardens and forest. She loves the dancing and singing social activities and is quite the entertainer! It's nice to see her smiling on social media, even from afar. Being able to call in anytime, day or night, to chat with someone on the floor or speak directly with my mum is incredibly reassuring. As her dementia is progressing, knowing that she's well cared for brings us some peace of mind."

"My mum has thoroughly enjoyed her fourth respite stay at Barchester Moors Manor Care Home. She is full of enthusiasm for the caring and supportive staff and the lovely environment that she experiences when she stays. We are confident to leave Mum whilst we get a break because we know the staff are kind, helpful and competent in their roles. The entertainment and activities provided that they manage Mum to engage in are brilliant! The food is fab. Thank you all very much. We appreciate you all."

"My wife came into respite as her condition has deteriorated and I needed time to sort out her future. She was very well treated as far as possible by the carers. I was her only contact during the covid period and she must have found it all strange and frightening. A very difficult situation which was dealt with very well by the home."

"My father has been suffering from Alzheimer's for around 4 years. Following a recent 9 week stay in hospital, it became clear that Dad would not have the mobility and mental capacity needed in order to manage in his own home. We therefore sought a suitable care home for Dad, and were very fortunate to find that Moors Manor were able to cater for his needs. From the outset, we were impressed with the staff and the facilities, and in the time Dad has been a resident, he has been treated as a valued member of the community at the home, and has been looked after with respect and dignity. Apart from the excellent catering, the home also offers a wide range of stimulating activities, and it is lovely to see Dad starting to engage with fellow residents. We are delighted to have found such a lovely new home for Dad!"

"The accommodation and facilities at Moors Manor are excellent, but what really makes this place exceptional are the team of friendly and caring people who have created an environment that feels warm and totally inclusive. My Dad has been a resident for around 4-months, and it's so refreshing to say that nothing ever seems to be too much trouble, there are always activities for him to enjoy participating in, and the highly professional staff have given me peace of mind that my Dad is receiving the very best support at all times along with fun and friendship. Most importantly during this time, my Dad has always felt welcome, safe and part of the team which he really appreciates."

"My experience of Barchester care home at St Leonard’s is only positive. My dad moved into the care home last October after not coping at home. The care home have been very welcoming to him and included him in lots of activities. The food is excellent and they even cooked his favourite dinner and pudding on his birthday. The staff are always happy and attentive to my dad's needs and I feel very satisfied and safe that he is in good caring hands. As I live many miles away, if I have any problems I just email or phone the home and everything is sorted out immediately."

"First impressions were extremely good, but unfortunately, this didn't continue. It took 3-5 weeks for my mother's medication to be sorted out. Food was poor - welsh rarebit consisted of a slice of bread toasted on one side and a slice of processed cheese! My mother's constant request for fresh water was ignored. Staff appeared to be unsupervised and lazy. My mother had to advocate for residents that were unable or unwilling to speak for themselves."
