Overall Experience

My dad has been a resident at Lincombe Manor Care Centre for several years and became very poorly at the end of November resulting in palliative care being in place up to when he passed on 1st December. I couldn't have asked for better care for my dad and have always known he was loved and cared for

by the staff. However, how the team dealt with the last week of his life was exceptional. As a result of the care Dad assed peacefully, without intervention, he wasn't in pain and the end was very dignified. I still have another relative as a resident who is equally well looked after.

Reply from Nicola Grace, General Manager at Lincombe Manor Care CentreThank you for your review. We feel so lucky to have been trusted by your family to care for your dad and are glad that Lincombe was the home that you chose for him to come to. He holds a very special place in our hearts and was a bit of a Lincombe legend. We take pride in knowing that you found our care to be exceptional and were able to feel the love and care from our team.

Overall Experience

I was advised by nursing staff that my father was approaching end of life. I drove to the centre to hold vigil. From the moment I arrived I was subject to the most fantastic support. Staff were courteous, respectful and most of all, honest with me and my family. Nothing was too much trouble and I shall

forever hold those individuals in my heart for their spport.My father died after three days and I am grateful for the advice and support, and privacy, proffered by the team, thank you is not enough.

Reply from Nicola Grace, General Manager at Lincombe Manor Care CentreThank you for this heartfelt review. It was a true privilege to care for your father. We were all so fond of him and he is deeply missed. We are very fortunate at Lincombe Manor to have such a great team, they will all be so proud of your lasting memory of the fantastic support you and your family received during what was a sad time for you all. Your feedback means a lot to all of us.

from S N (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 November 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

My mother has stayed at Lincombe Manor Care Centre twice this year. Firstly when she needed 4 weeks nursing care having been discharged early from hospital following a fall when she broke her leg.
The second time when she was moving house and needed two weeks care between selling and buying her new

home.
Both stays were exemplary. All staff were attentive, timely, very friendly and reassuring. The nursing care was thorough and sensitive to her needs. The staff were so welcoming and helpful to both mum and the family when necessary and we always felt that they had gone that extra step to ensure mum's comfort and safety.
I would recommend this Care Centre without hesitation.

Reply from Justine Thelwell, Director of Operations at Lincombe Manor Care CentreThank you so much for your wonderful review. With the GM on leave I have the pleasure of saying thank you to you and your mother for being such advocates of Lincombe Manor care centre. The team will be bursting with pride when they read how much you appreciate them and what a difference they make to peoples lives. Thank you for everything. Our doors are always open and you would be welcome visitors at any time.

Overall Experience

Lincombe Manor home is a superb home. Great staff and manager. Sea views from windows and roof terrace. My mum has been here ten weeks and I have visited her every day. The nurses are very good, keeping you up to date on care given. The home enjoys fun activities. The food is freshly made and of a high

standard. Coffee and tea offered to guest. As a daughter I would highly recommend this home to anyone wanting a place for a loved one. They go above and beyond.

Overall Experience

Excellent right across the board! Does this mean that Lincombe Manor is perfect? Of course not. Perfection is impossible, especially considering the ever changing requirements and issues associated with caring for the elderly. What I can say is that my wifes mother has been cared for with compassion,

dignity and dare I say it, even love by the staff at this really lovely facility. My wife and I have visited every day for the last nine weeks and have observed very speedy responses to all situations that have arisen and both staff and management have been really cooperative and communicative throughout. Plus, the food is great too. We thank all who work here from the bottom of our hearts.

Reply from Nicola Grace, General Manager at Lincombe Manor Care CentreThank you so much for taking the time to write such a fabulous review. What lovely words you have used to describe the care that you have observed. We are blessed to have such a dedicated and compassionate team. Your mother-in-law has made such an impression on all of us, we are so pleased that we have been able to assist with her care and get her to a place of being able to return home to you which is where she wants to be. There has been a lot of emotion surrounding her leaving us. Be assured that you are all always welcome to join us for some of our great food!!

I came here in January following my stay in hospital due to a stroke. All the staff have been extremely caring and helpful towards my recovery. I have had a lot of encouragement to learn to walk again with aids and to use my left arm again for washing and dressing. I am very pleased with my achievements

and will soon be ready to go home thanks to all the help received I recommend this home.
Good entertainment and activities.

Overall Experience

A fantastic home that has given my mum comfort and security - and enabled her to feel settled and at home. She is on palliative care - but I'm certain the friendliness of the staff and the security she feels has helped to give her strength and keep her going - so we have been able to enjoy several happy

years visiting her and sharing meals and laughter.
I can't thank all the staff enough for all their hard work each day - and look forward to visiting. Set in such a beautiful location with amazing views - I know my mum feels very lucky to be there .

Reply from Nicola Grace, General Manager at Lincombe Manor Care CentreThank you for such a super review. It is reassuring to us to know that mum feels comfortable and secure here at Lincombe Manor Care Centre and that the friendliness of our staff has given her strength. I certainly hope there will be many more years of visits and laughter. We look forward to your visits too and feel lucky to have the wonderful woman that is your mum living here.

Well impressed from my first meeting with the manager and her reception staff.
They showed us around the care centre. I found it very homely and warm and all the staff had time for us.
After going around a few care homes this one Lincombe Manor came out of far and above the rest.

from Margaret L (Respite Resident) published on 12 June 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

My stay at Lincombe Manor Care Centre was only for a few days, so it is difficult for me to give an overall assessment, but I would like to say that during that time, I was very well looked after in every aspect. There was always the comfort of knowing that if you needed help day or night, it was there

at a touch of a button. The food was excellent, a great choice, always well cooked and hot. Help with personal matters was always available and the facilities were kept very clean. I cannot comment on activities as my stay was too short, but there appear to be many things available to do if you were so inclined. I am very grateful to the management & staff for a very happy experience. Thank you very much.

Reply from Nicola Grace, General Manager at Lincombe Manor Care CentreThank you for your delightful review capturing your short stay at Lincombe Manor Care Centre. It is immensely important to us that people feel well looked after and made to feel secure in the knowledge that care is always on hand. The kitchen team are thrilled to hear that you found their food to be excellent, a lot of thought goes into creating the menus to ensure, as you say, a great choice of food each day is available. I am glad that you had a very happy experience with us.

Overall Experience

My Father in Law was a resident of Lincombe Manor between 2018 until he passed away in March 2025.
During that time I made numerous visits.
The standard of care, the staff, the building,the facilities, entertainment etc was simply outstanding. Cannot fault one minute of his near 7 year stay.
Cannot

recommend highly enough.

Reply from Nicola Grace, General Manager at Lincombe Manor Care CentreThank you for your lovely review. We certainly miss your father-in-law at Lincombe Manor, he was a larger-than-life character. As a family you would have seen many changes over the 7 years that he was here, and I am delighted that the standard of care and all that Lincombe Manor has to offer remained outstanding. We are over the moon to know that you cannot recommend us highly enough.

Overall Experience

Lincombe Manor is the very best care home I have ever been to. My dad was living there for seven years until he passed away recently. Throughout his time there all the staff without exception have been amazing, very courteous, friendly, knowlegeable, helpful and extremely caring and compassionate.

The nursing care is second to none and the home is run very efficiently.
The home itself is super clean, nice individual rooms, lovely light and spacious lounges and terraces overlooking the town. Plenty of activites for the residents. I would call Lincombe a hotel with care facilities.
I can not recommend Lincombe Manor highly enough .

Reply from Nicola Grace, General Manager at Lincombe Manor Care CentreWhat a glorious review to read. Lincombe Manor Care Centre truly is the best care home, and I am grateful that you recommend us so highly. Your dad was an amazing man and we miss him dearly. He brought a lot of joy to the team with plenty of his wise words of advice being taken on board by many of them over the years. Your recognition of the staff and all of their wonderful qualities is just lovely, and they will be delighted to read your review. All of the team work so hard to make Lincombe what it is, and your words of appreciation is just what they need to keep them going.
