My father-in-law has been a resident at the care home in excess of a year. He is treated with respect and dignity at all times, despite how difficult he can be. He is very settled and appears very happy. I am always made to feel very welcomed when I visit, even the staff I don't know well are informative and approachable. The team are considerate to his, and the needs of other around him, and I am sure this can be difficult at times. Each member of the team are important for his care and work in harmony, they are amazing!

Mum has only been at Manor Farm for a short while, but what a difference a couple of weeks in the right environment can make. She is so much happier. She has company and people to talk to. The staff are all amazing. They are caring and respectful of all the people in their care. I am made to feel very welcome whenever I pop in to see mum. There are activities and entertainment which mum loves. Especially the sing-alongs. Thank you to the manager and the staff.

As a visitor I have been greeted by friendly and helpful staff who have welcomed me into the home and encouraged me to join in with them to make the residents time as lovely and 'normal' as possible.

I have best mum (mother in law) a man could wish for and vowed to care for as long as possible, when it became I became impossible to do the middys daughters chose Manor Farm over many others visited. The main reason for this decision was the attitude of the manager and her team, one of those rare time in life when you know you've done the right thing, the 4 less than excellent choices only reflect on the age of the property but I feel the home is homely and comfortable, not feeling at all like a hotel, clinically clean and austene, my mum in law is being looked after in a way I could only dream of.

Mum moved to Manor Farm in November for palliative care. During her 4 months there she received exceptional care and kindness, compassion and just the right amount of friendly banter to suit her personality. She often said how happy and safe she felt in their care. Every single member of staff, not just the carers, made her final weeks happy ones. At the end they not only cared for mum but cared for and supported me too, for which I will be forever grateful. An outstanding team of people who feel like part of our extended family.
My mum is a new resident at Manor Farm and already I feel the need to show my gratitude towards all the staff. They are all very friendly, helpful and always acknowledge me and my daughter with a smile and a hello.When we visit in the lounge there are always carers in there being very attentive and...
All in all I am so happy that my mum is here as i know she is being really looked after and cared for, I know mum is happy here. Thank you so much.

I am very happy with my mums care, always looks nice and tidy in the care home friendly staff. Mum always looks very happy and clean and tidy and her room. Had a lovely Christmas dinner on the 11th December in Manor Farms dining room, with other residents and loved ones. It was most enjoyable Christmas meal and all food is cooked from scratch very nice indeed.

My mother has been a resident at Manor Farm Care home for over 4 years now. I think the home is excellent in that the accommodation is good, she has a lovely room. The food is excellent and the kitchen staff are part of the team and interact with the residents. They frequently have entertainment and are taken on excursions, for example, some of the more able residents attended the local pantomime. The Christmas dinner for residents and their relatives was so well organised and the staff had to work very hard which they did cheerfully making it a good experience for all. The staff are always kind and understanding of those residents with dementia and the whole place has a homely atmosphere another plus being it is not too big.
The team here is incredibly...
The team here is incredibly compassionate, attentive, and professional. They treat my grandmother with respect and kindness, always ensuring her needs are met promptly.
The facilities are clean, bright, and thoughtfully designed to create a homely atmosphere, which has helped my grandmother settle in beautifully. The staff go above and beyond to keep families informed and involved, which brings us so much peace of mind.
Additionally, recently the family where invited for a Christmas dinner event which went fantastically well with everyone enjoying the day! We were given a table in a spacious offset room which accommodated all of us really well and the dinner was very nice.
Thank you to the entire team for all that you do!
There are activities to do...
There are activities to do each day and trips out to different places and my mum enjoyed the fete last Sunday. The food is very good with a good variety of meals to choose from and the home is always very clean.
Thank you to all the staff you do an excellent job caring for my mum and making this a welcoming and happy home for everyone.
My nan's overall well-being...
My nan's overall well-being has greatly improved since moving into Manor Farm. She is very well-fed and is putting on weight for the first time in decades! The home organises days out, events at the home and simple touches like having her hair and nails done at the home.
It is genuinely the best care home I have visited, and I feel very reassured knowing that Nan is being looked after so well.
Whenever I visit, the staff are so welcoming, and it is clear to see how much they care for the residents, as well as what a happy team they are. Their positive and uplifting attitude is exactly what's needed.
Thank you to all the staff who take such good care of my nan.

My mum moved into Manor Farm recently and I cannot praise them more highly. She has advanced Dementia and has become unhappy and withdrawn. Since being at the home she's made friends and she's told us how happy she is there and she has returned to her bubbly self. The carers are amazing there is no rush, they give their residents all the time they need. They really do care as do all the staff there. The activities staff are always doing things and Mum is always up to something new. The managers are so supportive and helpful it's truly been the best decision I could have made for Mum to go there. If in doubt go and see for yourself.

Mum came to Manor Farm in January after being in hospital for 14 weeks, the welcome she got was lovely and warm from all the staff, who are amazing by the way. As a family, we are very happy to see Mum being looked after in such a lovely place, her room is pretty, with all her own things, the food is good with plenty of cups of tea for all visitors to enjoy while listening to the entertainment in an afternoon. I know my mum will be happy here, thank you!
Manor Farm has made my mum very welcome. They are warm, friendly and very caring. A very professional welcome to the family too as it is always a difficult decision. We feel confident Mum will be happy here. The food is good and so is the entertainment. Nothing is too much trouble.

My 90-year-old mum was in a home in London and was very unhappy there. Sometimes we would visit and find her in tears. My brother found Manor Farm Care Home near where he lives. We feel lucky to have gotten her a place there. The home is a very attractive building set in green and leafy surroundings. It is just outside a small village of Kessingland which is very close to the sea where she can get some sea air and be walked (in her wheelchair) along the beach paths. There is also a nice pub on the beach where Mum can take a glass of her favourite tipple. The staff at the home are amazing. They chat and are jolly all the time to various residents, and are attentive to all their needs. They also laid on a very nice 90th birthday party for Mum. She is being looked after well. We believe she is very happy there at Manor Farm Care Home.
On my sister's arrival at the home, she had a warm homely welcome, all the staff were very good and have looked after my sister very well, she seemed to have settled in and was happy. Thank you all.

We decided to transfer her to Manor Farm as a last-ditch attempt, the best decision we ever made. She has been here since August and is so happy. She, and us, love the staff who are all so caring, crazy, funny and so attentive to everyone's needs. Mum actually gets up and walks a little with her walker and isn't left in her wheelchair all day.
My mum is so much better now we actually get to take her out for short trips to the theatre, for lunches, etc. and each day we visit she is so happy and always laughing. It's great that everyone is encouraged to sit in the communal lounge or dining room and mix and are not left in their bedrooms.
The food is great, the home is great and the staff are fantastic.
The staff are very friendly and attentive to the residents.
