Overall Experience

My husband deteriorated very quickly (3 months) with undiagnosed dementia. Two care homes, with dementia facilities, refused to take him, with his needs, but Townsend Manor welcomed him, he has settled very quickly and his symptoms have reduced markedly. The staff, without exception, have been fantastic.

I will be eternally grateful.

Reply from Sarah Ward, Home Manager at Townsend ManorThank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. We are truly honoured that you entrusted Townsend Manor with your husband's care during such a challenging and emotional time.

We know how distressing a rapid deterioration and uncertainty around diagnosis can be, and we are so pleased to hear that your husband has settled well and that his symptoms have reduced. Your kind words about our team mean a great deal to us - our staff are deeply committed to providing compassionate, person-centred care, and your feedback reassures us that this is being felt by families as well as residents.

We are grateful for your trust and wish you and your husband continued comfort and support.

from B D (Son of Resident) published on 14 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Townsend Manor is a recently built care home with modern facilities and a range of activities designed to stimulate the residents. My mother is cared for on the upper floor along with residents of similar age and condition. She is happy with the meals and facilities and loves being able to furnish her

room with her own things. Opportunities to exercise by walking, especially outdoors, are limited on account of the small garden. The building has no integrated AC, and rooms upstairs, especially on the sunny side of the building become unpleasantly hot on sunny days, requiring curtains to be closed. Attempts to mitigate this with fans were only partly successful. Professional staff are all very pleasant and seem highly competent. Carers are attentive enough during the day, but i.m.o. spend too much time on their phone and are insufficiently attentive to residents needs during the evening shifts when supervision is lacking, resulting in some safety issues and potential loss of dignity.

Reply from Sarah Ward, Home Manager at Townsend ManorThank you for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review of Townsend Manor. We're very pleased to hear that your mother is happy with her meals, enjoys the facilities, and appreciates being able to personalise her room - we know how important it is for residents to feel at home.We also appreciate your constructive comments regarding the garden space and temperature on warmer days. We recognise that maintaining comfortable conditions throughout the home is essential, and we are currently reviewing options to further improve cooling and ventilation during hot weather.Your feedback about evening care and supervision has been noted with concern. We take issues of attentiveness and resident dignity extremely seriously, and your comments will be shared with our management and care teams to ensure that the standards we expect are consistently met across all shifts.Thank you again for your valuable feedback.

Overall Experience

My father's wedding ring disappeared and no-one seemed to care. They made all the right noises at the time but I had to push continually for any information as to where they had looked and what they were doing. Now they have washed their hands of the whole thing.
I am not confident that, if it is discovered,

it will be returned.
They said this is the first time it's ever happened but, I hear from another of the relatives that it isn't.
Appalling!!

Reply from Sarah Ward, Home Manager at Townsend ManorWe are very sorry to hear of your distress regarding your fathers missing ring. We take such matters extremely seriously and carried out a full and thorough investigation as soon as this was reported. All staff were interviewed, rooms and communal areas were checked multiple times, and no evidence was found to suggest theft or mishandling by any member of our team.We also offered to contact the police so that an independent investigation could take place, but this offer was declined. If you have since changed your mind and would like this to be pursued, please contact the home and we will support you in arranging it.We understand how upsetting it is when a personal item cannot be found, and we share your disappointment that, despite extensive efforts, the ring has not yet been located. The safety and wellbeing of our residents and their belongings remain our utmost priority.

from K B (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

It is now 6 months on from
When we made the difficult decision to entrust the care of our mum to all at Townsend Manor.
We have seen Mum thrive in the environment, she has settled in and refers to Townsend as 'home' which is reassuring. She interacts with other residents and has enjoyed day trips

out which seems to have boosted her general well being. All staff are friendly and caring, although at times they appear to be overworked and under pressure which is a shame as they do a wonderful job in difficult circumstances. Mum enjoys the food and we have seen her weight increase from when she first became a resident. The home is clean and tidy and well cared for. There will always be room for improvement and sometimes it's about thinking outside the box, but I guess that takes extra resource!
Mum is happy and has a lovely rapport with the staff, which is reassuring and as a family we can sleep easy at night knowing she's well cared for 24/7

Reply from Sarah Ward, Home Manager at Townsend ManorThank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful feedback. We are delighted to hear that your mum has settled in well and is thriving at Townsend Manor. It means a great deal to the team to know their care and support make such a positive difference. We truly value your comments and will continue to do our very best for your mum and all our residents.

from Claire P (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Overall very happy with my Mum's care. However, there are not enough staff at weekends. Often one person is trying to serve lunches along with dealing with any problems from bed bound residents. A care home as expensive as Townsend's should have enough staff to be able to take their time with residents.
The

tables in the dining area are not suitable for purpose. They are circular and the table legs are not sufficiently wide apart to allow a person in a wheelchair to sit properly at the table.
Making sure the bed bound residents have their hands washed before meals and their teeth cleaned at least once a day would be helpful. I think this doesn't happen as there aren't enough staff to make sure this happens.
On the positive side Townsend Manor is clean, smells fresh and is a very pleasant place to visit. Food is good,
carers are kind and very hardworking. The manager is efficient, understanding and very kind.

Reply from Sarah Ward, Home Manager at Townsend ManorThank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback. Were so pleased to hear your kind words about our carers, the home environment and the care your mum receives. We also appreciate your constructive comments around staffing, dining arrangements and personal care, which we take very seriously. Your feedback will help us continue to improve, and we remain committed to providing the highest standards of care for all our residents

Mainly good at location, management team are currently very hands on and supportive.
HO very slow to respond if at all to any communication.
Home has lovely family feel.
Some areas need to be worked on.
All care homes are expensive so questionable for value for money but safety, security and wellbeing

of family members is the most important.

Overall Experience

Mum is enjoying her time at Townsend manor. We do however constantly have to monitor her clothing & personal items. Many items of clothing have gone missing. All of her shoes have also gone & her mobility aid. We have raised these issues & still awaiting an outcome.
When you call the home

to speak to managers the messages dont always get through. Mums finances have still not been addressed after being there for nearly 1 year.
The staff are lovely. Very friendly & mum loves them all.
There is always something to do & mum enjoys the activities most of the time.

Overall Experience

Going into the unknown and leaving my mum in someone else's care is extremely heartbreaking & difficult. The staff were great on mums first day and even put me at ease. 99% of staff are attentive and caring. I have been informed each time mum has not felt well, and have confidence in their care.
Sadly

the home is understaffed which puts pressure on all aspects of the care home.
The cost of care is considerably high, the salaries for those who look after our loved ones is considerably low, this is one of the most demanding jobs to do, all credit to those who genuinely want to do this work.

Reply from Sarah Ward, Home Manager at Townsend ManorThank you for sharing such heartfelt feedback. We understand how difficult it can be to entrust a loved one into our care, so we are very glad to hear that you and your mum felt reassured on her first day and that you have confidence in the care she receives.We are equally grateful for your kind words about our staff team, who work hard to provide attentive and compassionate support. We acknowledge your concerns regarding staffing pressures and truly value your perspective. Please be assured we continue to do all we can to support our team and maintain the highest standards of care for our residents.

Overall Experience

My father has been resident at Townsend Manor since shortly after it opened and in that time as his dementia with Lewey Bodies advances so had the care from all involved.
The best thing I can say is that my dad is content in the home, And cares deeply about staff as they do for him. The increased needs

have been dealt with through technology advancements, learnings and care, and I feel that Dad remains on the best place for him at this advancing stage of his life.
Finally, I witnessed the care and emotion along with professional approaches of many staff at the time of a recent end of life for one of Dad's neighbours and friends. It was dealt with dignity, integrity, compassion and care. At that stage of this journey for my father I know he will be loved and cared for, as will immediate family and friends.
Please strive to do better as you always should but thank you for what you do, the empathy shared and the over riding compassion at abounds at Townsend Manor Care Home.

Reply from Sarah Ward, Home Manager at Townsend ManorThank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words. It truly means a great deal to all of us at Townsend Manor to hear how content your father is, and how much trust you place in the care we provide. We are privileged to support him on this journey, and it's reassuring to know that the developments in care and technology have made a meaningful difference to him and your family. The strong bonds that form between our residents and staff are at the heart of everything we do, and it's clear from your message that this connection is felt deeply. Your mention of the recent end-of-life experience was particularly moving. We take great pride in providing care that is not only professional, but grounded in compassion and dignity - especially at such a sensitive and important stage of life. We are always looking to improve and evolve, and your encouragement to continue striving for better is truly appreciated.

Overall Experience

My father has been a resident since may 2023
We have found the home short staffed on a lot of a occasions especially Sundays
The home has been through a lot of staff sometimes you feel they are only there for the money some of them not because they want to help with their heart
My father has been

in 3 homes now and they are pretty much the same
Morar has fantastic facilities and was lovely and new when dad moved in
We are finding now that dad is more bed bound with his condition which is where he needs most care that this is not happening it seems too much of a chore for the staff to help him some of the time
He is not capable of reaching to get a drink or food off the table nearby so he starves and don't drink much sometimes as the staff don't have time to sit with him on occasions
My family could complain a lot just lately but we don't as we don't want dad kicked out
Dad has a sore on his bum which don't
heel after months just got worse to grade 3 grade 2 is bad lays in wet pad

I was never sure how my mum would adapt to living within a care home environment after living in a house that was isolated , but with us having the ability and support from the home management we personalised her room with pictures and some furniture from home and we created her a tub garden outside

her door . Mum now has a real connection with the staff who look after her and her sense of humour can be quite infectious , she now very much feels at home at Townsend and has become very settled , she can never speak highly enough of the staff and the care and consideration they show to her , my sister and feel if we have an issue with anything we can talk to someone to resolve it
