Review of Formby Manor Care Home from J M (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 August 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My Mum has been living at Formby Manor for over four years now, and she is so happy there. The food is fantastic & there's always plenty of variety, and they regularly update the menu to keep things fresh. The home itself is always spotless and has such a warm, welcoming feel the moment you walk through the door. What really sets it apart is the team. The management and staff are always approachable, incredibly kind, and so attentive. They constantly go above and beyond for the residents. They've genuinely become like a second family to my Mum. Knowing she is safe, loved, and so well looked after brings me so much peace of mind.
I really can't recommend Formby Manor highly enough!

Review of Formby Manor Care Home from V G (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 August 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Moving dad into care wasn't something we wanted to do, but from the moment we walked in, we knew Formby Manor was the only place we would consider. The management team immediately instilled confidence and have proved exceptional. As a family, we have benefitted from their kindness, compassion and willingness to listen. Care staff on dad's department are outstanding. They have worked very hard to develop relationships with him, treating him with respect and dignity. His smiles when he sees them say it all. Their welcoming attitude and ability to find humour have made a difficult life transition easier for all of us. The dedication and commitment of the care staff is a reflection of the management team, who very much lead by example. A happy, friendly environment, very clean, with excellent facilities and delicious food delivered by a first class and caring hospitality team.
Staff have started to feel like an extension of our family, they care for dad as if he was their own.

Review of Formby Manor Care Home from Rachel P (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 August 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Mum has received excellent care all round since moving in a few months ago. The staff are fantastic. For instance, even if they are taking a break outside, they still offer to help getting Mum into the car. And when she had a fall, they brought a nurse from upstairs to check her over and kept me informed about calling the paramedics and progress. They also encourage her to join activities and even helped her create a quiz for the other residents. I highly recommend them.

Review of Formby Manor Care Home from John C (Brother of Resident) published on 15 July 2026 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
I cannot find fault with Formby Manor. Everybody in the home takes time both with the residents - their families. The facilities are exceptional. It is like being in a hotel. The home is spacious. The garden areas are well maintained. The food is of a high standard & the dining rooms are like a restaurant with tablecloths and menus. Nothing is too much trouble. The residents are all treated as individuals. The care shown is genuine. The daily activities cater for all & the trips out are just another nice touch. Highly recommend. Thank you all

On our initial visit to enquire about respite care we were impressed by the surroundings and general friendliness of the staff. When we took mum in she was made to feel welcome and at home. She was well looked after with excellent meals and thoroughly enjoyed the activities making several friends.

Review of Formby Manor Care Home from L P (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 June 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Formby Manor Care Home has provided exceptional care, kindness, and support for my dad and our family. The home manager gave instant urgent support when first contacted making everything so seamless and easy. From the moment we walked through the doors, the staff made both residents and relatives feel welcome, respected, and valued. The care team are compassionate, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to the wellbeing of every resident. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and it is clear that they take the time to get to know each individual personally. The home itself is warm, comfortable, and beautifully maintained, creating a safe and reassuring environment. Communication with families is excellent, and we have always felt informed and involved. The activities, social opportunities, and attention to residents' emotional wellbeing help create a real sense of community and belonging.

Review of Charlotte House Care Home from Michael J (Son of Resident) published on 18 June 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mother came to Charlotte House in mid February 2026, having been in residential care elsewhere for five and a half years. Mums dementia/alzheimer's had become more challenging and it was mutually agreed that she needed a different form of care, albeit not EMI. Charlotte House was just the answer. Mum had a lovely room which was kept immaculately clean and she always had clean clothing available in her dressing table. The clothes cleaning regime was excellent, particularly as mum was incontinent and had very little awareness of her daily needs. The food was good and her carers and all staff were lovely, with good senses of humour, which mum liked, and they provided quick attention when interventions were required. Sadly mum passed away very suddenly at the beginning of May, and we received a very nice condolence card from the home.
↩Reply from Scarlett Ward, Relationships and comms coordinator at Charlotte House Care Home
We were very sorry to learn of your mother's sudden passing, and we extend our sincere condolences once again to you and your family. It was a privilege to be part of her care, and we hope the condolence card brought a small measure of comfort during a difficult time. It means a great deal to us to...

Review of Formby Manor Care Home from Julie E (Niece of Resident) published on 11 June 2026 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
When you arrive at the nursing home, always say "hello"; sometimes management acknowledges you. Now I am in customer service, it takes nothing to say hello. I know people are busy, but in front of visitors, always pass the time of day. When you ask a problem, you feel as if it a inconvenience, but when being shown around. completely different. Very dissatisfied as pay a lot of money

Review of Formby Manor Care Home from Helen W (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 May 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mum moved into Formby Manor in February 2026. She had always been adamant that she would never "go into care" and was very independent. When it was clear that she could not manage safely at home anymore, mum thankfully made the decision that she needed residential care and I was so lucky to find Formby Manor as the solution. Mum was still very unsure and concerned about what it would be like, but the staff instantly made her feel so welcome! They were warm, reassuring and caring. Mum has flourished and is far more socially active now than she was at home. With the encouragement of staff she decided to join in the numerous activities (including a recent day out, something that would never have happened if she had remained at home) Mum has a lovely room, proper home cooked meals, frequent social contact throughout the day - and her mood is so much brighter than when she was at home.
She has nothing but praise for the staff - and I feel the same. Recommend 100%

Review of The Waterside Care Home from Margaret H (Daughter of Resident) published on 5 May 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Mum has settled well into her new home and this is down to the wonderful, hard working and dedicated staff, which are extremely well led by the management team. There is always a warm welcome when we visit mum and we always find mum happy and enjoying her day. Mum finds her room comfortable and enjoys her meals and snacks throughout the day. We all enjoy going downstairs to the cafe area and enjoying a drink together, in comfort and meeting other residents families. There is always a lovely ambience. Mum also enjoys sitting within the lounge area which has a lovely view of the lake. Sometimes the garden area is her choice which has comfortable seating. A settled, happy mum takes a lot of stress and worry from us as a family. We can only thank everyone at the Waterside for this.
↩Reply from Scarlett Ward, Relationships and comms coordinator at The Waterside Care Home

Review of Charlotte House Care Home from M A (Wife of Resident) published on 5 May 2026 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
I would have given a higher mark if the dining area had a quieter section where those people who did not require as much help with eating etc could be seated together. Some facilities i.e. bed, bed table, shower (lack of maintenance?) (due to ongoing work being carried out?). Staff good, maybe a few more needed because of number of people needing facilities (i.e. different needs).

Review of Formby Manor Care Home from Lisa K (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 April 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mum moved into Formby Manor mid February for end of life nursing care. I had been advised to visit a number of other care homes in the area, which I did, and none compared to Formby Manor. I visited un-announced and from the moment I walked in I knew it was the right place for my mum. The care home itself is spotlessly clean, welcoming and the decor / surroundings are exceptional. Due to my mum's illness, her deterioration was quick but all the way through her care I was notified of every change in her condition. The nursing team and care assistants that looked after my mum did so with genuine compassion, sensitivity, kindness and respect. I really could not have asked for more at such a difficult time. The kindness to me and dignity you showed to my mum at the time she passed away will stay with me forever.
Thank you to every single member of the Formby Manor team. You are an absolute credit to your profession.
