Our mother is increasingly frail with multiple care needs. The Manson team do everything to ensure she is comfortable, safe and cared for. She enjoys the varied meals cooked on site. We live a distance away so appreciate being kept up to date should any issues arise. Great job.
We really appreciate you sharing this. Knowing your mother feels safe and cared for, and that you feel well informed despite the distance, means a great deal to our team.
Since arriving in the spring I have been receiving excellent care from everybody in Manson House and a lot of personal kindness and cheerfulness. Everything (including me!) is kept lovely and clean and the food is excellent - well prepared and served and very tasty. What more could a resident want!! Thank you for all that and for the varied and interesting activities offered.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We're delighted to hear you've felt so well cared for since arriving and that you're enjoying the food, activities, and kindness of our team at Manson House. Your comments mean a great deal to everyone here.
Cynthia is looked after so well. She cannot speak more highly of all the staff...I will be eternally grateful to Manson House. She enjoys the variety of activities available and has has connected well with a number of fellow residents.
Thank you for your kind feedback. We're so pleased to hear that Cynthia is well cared for, enjoying our activities, and building friendships at Manson House. Your appreciation means a great deal to our team.
My Dad has lived in Manson House since February 2024 and he is very well looked after by the staff. When I visit, the staff are always very friendly, helpful and chatty. Manson House itself is a lovely building, with plenty of sitting and meeting areas for residents, and beautiful gardens. Also the central location in Bury St Edmunds is great for my father because he still likes to go out for a walk around town, or meet friends.
Thank you for sharing your experience. It's great to hear your father is so well supported at Manson House and continues to enjoy the home, its gardens, and the local area.
The property is a pleasure. Domestic staff are helpful and cleanliness high. Fresh food is nutrition researched and excellent: Delicious treats for visitors now, too.The activities team is kind, creative and inclusive. Admin and management approachable, engaged and prompt. Christmas joy is spread here
We really appreciate you sharing your experience. It's heartening to hear such positive reflections on the care, communication, and dedication of our team at Manson House.
I requested a very last minute respite placing for my Mother, and she was found a place at Manson House, at the beginning of the heatwave. The room was on the top floor and overlooking Northgate Street, which was hot and noisy. After an uncomfortable night, they moved her to another room at the rear of the property, which was cooler, quieter and on the first floor. Such a relief to both of us. I visited every other day, only so as Mum didn't feel abandoned, but soon realised that not only was she getting the rest she needed, she was very much looked after. Without exception, all the staff members were cheery, chatty and caring, keeping Mums spirits up and making her feel safe. The food was excellent and varied, the building spotless and the gardens were full of interesting plants, quiet and calm. Our family have viewed the words 'Care home' with fear until now. The staff here really care and we are planning another stay in couple of months.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. We're so pleased that we could help accommodate your mother at short notice, especially during such challenging weather. It's wonderful to hear that the move to a cooler, quieter room made a positive difference to her comfort and peace...
The family are very happy with their choice of this care home. We like the relaxed atmosphere and feel its the best place for our Dad
Thank you so much for your review. We're delighted to hear that your dad has settled in and feels at home with us. It means a great deal to know that you and your family feel confident in your choice and are happy with the atmosphere here.
This care home is well led and managed and the influence and values of the manager resonate throughout. All the care staff are immensely patient and attentive to individual care needs and ensure the stay is as comfortable and fulfilling as possible.
Thank you for your kind words, the team at Manson House will be so pleased their efforts are seen and appreciated.
I have been extremely happy with the care Grandad has received since being at Manson House. Grandad was unsure that a care home was for him, but he has fully embraced the activities that have been offered. He enjoys going to the garden room and socialising with other residents. I have been very pleased with the care Grandad has received. The staff are very kind, caring and approachable.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're so happy to hear that your grandad has settled in and is enjoying the activities and socialising in the garden room. Our team takes great pride in providing kind and caring support, and it means so much to know it's appreciated!
I have found the care for my father not only professionally administered but provided in a genuinely warm and caring manner. Like anyone, I was anxious about him making the transition to the care environment but they have really made him feel at home.
It's wonderful to hear that your father feels at home with us. We understand how challenging such transitions can be and we're so glad our approach has helped ease the process. Your review means a lot to our team.
My mother, very reluctantly I have to say, went to Manson House for two weeks of respite care on October 3rd 2023. After only a week she told us she didn't want to leave and has been a resident ever since. As a family, we are so grateful to the exceptional staff for taking such good care of her and most importantly making her feel safe. I don't think Mum could be any happier than she is at Manson.
Wow! What a fantastic review to receive! We are so pleased that your mum is doing so well and is really happy - we couldn't ask for any more. We agree our staff are exceptional and we are very happy they make such a difference to your mum!
All members of staff have been really supportive of Mum's needs and a special mention must go to the food on offer, I've had a few meals at the home with Mum and they're fantastic!
Thank you for your positive feedback. We are pleased to hear your mum feels well cared for and was able to move into a room more to her liking. Ensuring comfort and meeting individual needs is our priority and we're glad you've enjoyed the dining experience as well. Your comments are greatly appreciated.
Mum's room is light and welcoming. She has much of her own furniture there. Always kept clean and tidy by super staff who are second to none in my opinion and I've worked in a fair few nursing homes in the past and Manson House outshines them all.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We're thrilled your mother has settled in so well and is enjoying Manson House with new friends! It's great to hear our team's care and dedication stand out. Your kind words mean so much to us!
I couldn't be more happy with finding Manson House.
Thank you so much for this glowing review of the home. We'll be sure to pass on your comments, the staff will be delighted that they are having such an impact on people's lives and experiences.
Very pleased with the care and attention taken by all staff to our mother. Those visiting have commented to us on how well she looks and responds. Very happy with all the facilities. The catering is very good and happy with the food options and the snack trolley.
We are delighted to read your comments. Thank you for taking the time to submit a review for Manson House. Best regards.
I am so pleased to have found Manson House for my mother. She is happy and safe - I couldn't ask for more for her!
We are absolutely delighted to read your review. It is such a pleasure you care for your mother and she brings such a lot to the home. We are delighted that Manson House is working out so well for you all and so happy that your mother is enjoying such an active life with us!
Manson House has such a positive feel about it. It is a lovely location and the staff are so engaged and caring with the residents. There always seems to be something going on, to interest and stimulate the residents. I know that my father wished he had moved in sooner, as he has enjoyed his new life so much there.
It is so wonderful to hear how happy and settled your father is at Manson House. Thank you for taking the time to submit a review, we will of course share your comments with the team. Best wishes.
All of these things make Manson House a place anybody would be happy to spend time and I feel very lucky that it is here in Bury St Edmunds.
Thank you for your thoughtful and considerate review. Your kind words and positive feedback really mean a great deal to our team!
My mother has been at Manson House since June 2022. She always said that she did not want the family to put her in a home, however, after several short stays in hospital in early 2022, it became clear that Mum was not coping at home. I researched several care homes in Bury St Edmunds and would say that Manson House is, by far, the best one. Since being in the home Mum has improved greatly and although she prefers to stay in her room, she is now content. She is well looked after by the staff who are always very helpful. When I visit, the staff are always welcoming and I feel Mum is well looked after with nothing being too much trouble.
What a lovely review. Thank you so much for taking a moment to share your thoughts with us. It is a pleasure to be able to care for your mother and to hear how she has improved whilst staying with us. Rest assured that your warm and positive feedback will be shared with the team at Manson House. Best wishes.
The carers are very friendly and helpful. The food is good. Management deal with any problems very quickly. Housekeeping, excellent service with cleaning the room to doing the laundry and are very prompt in getting it back. The nighttime care is excellent and I feel very safe.
Thank you for taking the time to submit a review. Your comments mean a great deal to us and we will of course share them with the Manson House team. Kind regards.

Hi, I'm Kate, and I've been working in elderly care since 1999. It started with a college placement at a nursing home, then something clicked, and I've been drawn back ever since.
I've worked my way through almost every role a care home has - carer, senior, shift lead, deputy, and now manager. Every role except cooking, and I'll be the first to tell you that's probably for the best! What that journey has given me is a genuine understanding of what it takes at every level, and a deep respect for the people who do it every day.
If you visit Manson House, I'd want you to know that my door is always open. Honesty, communication and trust are everything in this job, and I don't take lightly what it means for a family to place their confidence in us. I walk around the home every day, spending time with residents and staying close to what's actually happening. That's not something I'll ever stop doing.
What I love most about Manson House is the people. There's a warmth here you feel as soon as you walk through the door. It's a small home with a real intimacy to it. Everyone knows everyone. And the gardens are something else entirely.
The moment that stays with me is watching a resident arrive anxious and withdrawn, then gradually settle, open up and find their place here — building friendships, joining in, laughing. And seeing the relief on their family's face. That's why I do this.
When you visit, please ask me anything. Come and see the home for yourself. I think you'll feel the difference.
I have over three and a half years’ experience working in health and social care recruitment as Head of Compliance, where I was responsible for ensuring social workers met all regulatory and safeguarding requirements to work safely with children and vulnerable adults. In my role, I am guided by resident-centred values, striving to be dependable, consistent and compassionate in everything I do. What I enjoy most is knowing that the work I carry out behind the scenes has a direct and positive impact on residents’ lives. Although my role is administrative, I understand that accurate records, strong organisation and effective communication all contribute to safe, high-quality care.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my partner and our dogs, exploring new places and enjoying good food together.
I’ve worked in the care sector for over ten years, starting my journey as a Care Assistant and progressing through senior roles before joining Manson House as Deputy Manager. My experience spans residential and dementia care, and I’m passionate about creating a supportive, person-centred environment where residents feel valued, and staff feel confident and empowered. I believe in leading with empathy, consistency, and integrity, always striving to maintain high standards while nurturing a positive team culture. What I enjoy most about my role is building meaningful relationships, supporting residents to live fulfilling lives and helping colleagues grow in their careers.
Outside of work, I’m very family-oriented and love spending time with the people closest to me.
