  • Manor House, Norwich
Manor House understands making a decision for a loved one is a difficult task especially when Residential Care sometimes receives adverse publicity. Manor House is owned and managed by a local family who live in South Norfolk. Professionals pride themselves on always looking to improve the service they offer and making sure the Resident comes first in whatever they do. The family is involved on a daily basis with each home supporting the Managers to ensure an ‘excellent’ service is maintained to all Residents.

Manor House is situated just a few miles East of Norwich in the village of Blofield and is a home for elderly people without Dementia. In the summer of 2012 they also opened a person centred dementia care facility. Tom Ground, the architect, who, having won a number of awards for residential care facilities, has incorporated a number of design features that will help enable residents with dementia to lead a full and as active life as possible.   

The provider is proud of the homes they offer, careful to make sure they feel like a home rather than a hotel, using good quality furnishings and making sure they are well maintained inside and out.

The long standing manager, is supported by a well trained team of staff who proudly deliver person centred care, daily activities, and lovely traditional home cooked food.

Manor House provides both long and short term care.

I came to Manor House for a show around for my father. I was very impressed about the staff engagement with the residents.
The manager was very friendly, giving me the feeling that this is the place where my father should be with no doubt.

The staff have a real understanding of my Mothers needs and are kind, compassionate and patient. She is very happy in Manor House.
Initially, the management also understood the family’s needs and nothing was too much trouble.
The care home itself is well maintained and her room is bright, spacious
and cheerful. I very much feel I made the right choice in placing her there. I am encouraged to visit at any time and am always made to feel very welcome.

A very friendly atmosphere. The staff always greet us with a warm welcome and take great care of our parents. Nothing is too much trouble and they are very alert to small changes in our parent's wellbeing, arranging for the nurse or doctor to call when needed. We feel lucky to have found Manor House
and would happily recommend to friends and family seeking a great care home.

Mum is safe, well and content. She loves the food and her surroundings. Failing hearing restricts her involvement more and more but staff know this and try to engage her whenever possible. When ill in bed we could not fault the care from the staff and the local surgery.

I (we as a family) are extremely happy with all the levels of care, patience, help and understanding shown and given to us all. We have worked in the care industry over the years, things have changed so much since we worked in the industry. We love the way we are treated, including our mum, as with
all the kindness and family orientated awareness, making it feel as if it is our and their own home too. The dedication shown to their work and residents is fantastic.

I cannot speak highly enough of the care my husband received during his short stay at The Manor House prior to his passing. He was treated with kindness, compassion and dignity and we felt one of the family as soon as we arrived. The staff were so caring to him and me and did everything to make a very
difficult and sad time bearable. Thank you.

All kind and very helpful in a situation I'm sure is not easy for staff, I find when I pop over from Toronto, which is often, staff are fab.

The home is lovely. Staff look after residents excellently. My mum came in from hospital with a chest infection and her legs and feet were bad. In the time she has been here she has come on in leaps and bounds. We cannot praise the home enough.

We were not expecting mum to leave hospital as she was so poorly. The care she received during the first few weeks resulted in a remarkable recovery. Mum is very dependent on her caregivers who look after her with dignity and love. You have a wonderful staff.

My Mum was extremely well cared for at Manor Lodge over the five years she was there. She was always kept clean and her personal needs seen to. The staff were kind and caring and the manager always answered any questions we had. In my Mum's last days her carers were especially kind to the family. I
would definitely recommend Manor Lodge to anyone with a family member with dementia.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.910)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.910) out of 10 for Manor House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.910 for Manor House is calculated as follows: ( (272 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 299 Ratings = 4.91

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Manor House is based on 26 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 47 registered maximum number of service users is 9.4, which has been reached with 26 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
