My 90 year old sister in law is more like she used to be - loving the banter with staff. Now joining in lots of activities which she never did and so enhancing her life. Trips out around the village in the good weather, to other care homes, birthday parties, garden party. Even a trip out to a Tom...

I visited Mum together with my two brothers and partners. Manor Farm made us welcome by letting us meet in the dining room. The chef had made a delicious Victoria sponge and we had plenty of tea and coffee. A lovely afternoon for all of us. Mum thoroughly enjoyed herself while we were together.

The staff are so beautiful with mum, she loves then all as do we, their care and respect is 2nd to none, they are her extended family.
Yes her room could be a bit bigger and a bit more homely but she has everything that she needs.
Whenever we visit which is often, mum is always clean, her clothes are always clean, no food dribles etc like in hospital. Any medical worries are dealt with immediately and brought to our attention.
Mum has a lovely relationship with all the staff and in return she is thriving, yes she has her off days as do we all but that's when the carers come into their own and do everything they can to raise mums spirits.
Kylie has chosen her staff perfectly and is to be praised for running a warm comforting and loving home. Thank you all. Karen & Sue XX

My Nan has been at Manor Farm for about two years. The staff treat her with respect and dignity at all times and they are like family to our Nan and the other residents. Relatives and visitors are always made to feel welcome. The home is very clean and the food is cooked on site and always looks lovely. Nan suffers from Dementia and the activities organised take this into consideration and Nan loves getting involved. Manor Farm has been an amazing home for my Nan and I'm so thankful for the staff for all that they do. I always recommend Manor Farm when asked as it is a lovely place to be.

My sister has lived at Manor Farm since July 2025. The staff have been marvellous with her. She loves the entertainment- singing and joining in the choruses. The staff have encourage her and her enjoyment is evident. She has been taken out in her wheelchair to cafes, parks and visits to the sister home for lunches and even a 100th birthday party, all clearly enjoyed. Having previous experience with family in a care home we appreciate this and how it improves her quality of life. We visit, and the staff encourage without expecting anything from us.They have looked after her and called the doctor when necessary keeping us informed of progress. Last week she celebrated her 90th birthday and the staff made her feel special reading her card messages. There were lots of emotions and happy tears. She feels part of the Manor Farm family, which in turn allows us to visit our children, who live abroad with the knowledge she is being well looked after and feels safe.

Kylie and the lovely team at Manor Farm made a very difficult time that little bit easier. From the start Kylie was approachable and welcoming. I slept a little bit better at night knowing mum was well cared for. Sadly through no ones fault mum has had to move on after a few months. If the building had a lift then mum would still be there. So sad to have to move. Thanks again to everyone for your patience and taking your time to listen to mum chat, have a laugh with her. She really was happy at Manor Farm. Thanks again and lots of love. Julie & family xx
the staff are very attentive to her needs which have increased as time has gone on.
The home always appears to be clean and the food is excellent.

The staff at manor farm have given mum excellent care , as a daughter I am so grateful for the love and kindness given to her ,they are absolutely wonderful ,nothing is too much trouble for them.
Mum celebrated her 90th birthday in November, the staff were so very kind allowing us to have a small gathering of our close family, and kindly provided a beautiful afternoon tea ,we will never forget the memories that were made that day .
Thankyou for everything you do for mum and us as a family we appreciate everything xx

Nanny has always been treated with so much respect, kindness and care, and for the first time i can happily say i am absolutely sure that she is being looked after very well and she is in safe hands when we aren't able to visit. There is nothing that the team won't try and accommodate for and they are more than willing to help in whatever way they can.
When my nanny has taken a decline in her health recently, the team are always so helpful and making sure that she is checked on regularly, and she is always given fluids and whatever she needs, and they have been so kind to my family at difficult times. I cannot recommend this care home enough, wonderful place.
I can honestly say he has flourished, he joins in all the activities offered (of which there are many!).
His health has improved, he's happy, stable and I cannot praise the staff and management enough.

From the very start my Dad received excellent care at Manor Farm, he really started to thrive after previously going downhill at home alone, he got a new lease of life, his hobbies were encouraged in every way, I know he felt valued and respected, he was taken to the pub on his Birthday, to the barber, the seaside for fish and chips, he loved the activities and the positive and encouraging attention he received, he especially loved the music and getting up for a dance, I could not imagine a better place than Manor Farm , he really received excellant , kind, loving care, Thankyou

Mum went through a difficult period after suffering a chest infection and the care home staff supported mum through this illness, increasing the bed visits to ensure mum was comfortable and keep the family informed of any updates following medical visits.

My mum has been at Manor Farm since the spring of this year. It has taken mum a little while to adjust to her new surroundings, having lived in her former home for over 60 years. With the help, care and support of the staff, she has now settled in well. The dedication of the staff is obvious from the moment you enter the home. The residents are treated with dignity and respect and their needs are met with diligence and compassion. Recently I joined mum for lunch at Manor Farm; the food was excellent. Good, nutritional, well balanced meals are served on a daily basis, along with refreshments throughout the day. I am extremely happy with the care my mum is receiving here.

My Mum has been a resident of Manor Farm care home for almost 2 years now and has been treated with kindness and respect since day one. Initially Mum found the transition from living at home and a life of independence quite upsetting but with the care and support of Manor Farms brilliant staff she soon settled and felt safe and at home. Manor Farm is unlike most care homes as it is a home not an institution nor hotel, family and friends are welcome and encouraged to spend time with their loved ones. Food is exceptional cooked by Keith and Donna breakfast is when the resident wakes not at an allotted time and can be a full English if they want. Dinner is a choice of 2 meals tasty and nutritious plus a choice of 2 desserts (Mum has even put on some weight) teatime can be sandwiches or special requests plus of course refreshments in between meals. It seems wrong to say staff as they are far more than that to the residents when you see the genuine affection as they cuddle your confused mum.
