Mum moved into The Manor in April 2025 and has had an excellent experience with this nursing home. The staff were consistently kind, caring, and treated everyone with genuine compassion and respect. They took the time to listen, provide reassurance, and made sure residents felt comfortable and well looked after. It was clear that they truly care about the people they support. I would highly recommend this nursing home to anyone looking for a safe, welcoming, and compassionate place for their loved one.
All I can say is what a wonderful care home. Everyone involved in mum's care have been amazing. Nothing is too much trouble from the cleaner to the maintance man. The cook is fantastic dealing with mum's allergies. All the staff has made it easy for me to sleep at night without stress

My mum lived at the Manor for 7 years. It was like a home from home for her. In her first few years there, she was able to go out for a walk or out with us as a family, and there were many activities and outings. She was very well looked after, her room was always clean and she said the food was...

My sister and I were very touched by the attention shown to mum. When she finally died, it was dignified and calm. Thanks to all at The Manor for making a difficult time a little easier.

Hello Greta. Thank you so much for leaving this really lovely feedback relating to your experiencing with our Care Team and Care Home at The Manor in Exminster. It's lovely to read that you 10 / 10 wish you had moved to The Manor 'years ago'. I have to say, as I travel around our care homes and talk to residents, this is often the feedback that I get - which is always really lovely of course. Thank you again for this feedback - it's greatly appreciated by us all. Kindest regards, Nathan.
The staff are very good, especially in difficult circumstances. Always ready to help.

Thank you for taking the time to publish this review of our Care Team and Care Home at The Manor in Exminster. It's really nice to read that you feel our Care Team are 'very good' and 'always ready to help'. I note that you have rated three items as only 3-Stars. We are keen to always be 5 star and perhaps on occasion 4 - but never 3 or less:) Please could I ask that you talk to the Care Home Manager, Dawn, with any concerns with regards to cleanliness and the room. Value for money is always going to be a very subjective issue - knowing the costs involved in care provision I am confident that we (and the vast majority of good care homes in the country) provide exceptional value for money. The issue may be more that care provision costs a lot of money - we all agree with that - but in terms of value for money I don't think many other products come close:) Kindest regards
Regret that on account of all my disabilities I am unable to take part in any of the activities that go on in the manor. I can't give greater praise to all my regular carers for the lovely way that they look after me. Many thanks.

I continue to be deeply impressed by this Care Home. The new Manager, has been hugely helpful in addressing any needs my mother has. The rest of the team are brilliant and compassionate and deliver excellent quality care. My mother's quality of life has improved so much since she moved in to the Manor. We appreciate particularly how personalised the care is and how residents are celebrated as 'whole people' with all their different life experiences. Birthdays at the Manor are truly a celebration. Thank you all for all you do.

Hello Paul H. Thank you for leaving this really positive review of your experience with our Care Team and Care Home at The Manor in Exminster. It's really lovely to read that your father has settled well and that our care team are caring, attentive and respectful, and keeping you informed. Moving into a care home is a big step for everybody involved, of course for the resident themselves but also for their family and friends. Experiences such as yours will, I'm sure, provide a lot of confidence/reassurance to others who may well find themselves making these decisions. Thank you again.
The decision to put Mum into a care home was made much easier by the warm and friendly advice given by staff. Mum has settled into her new environment quickly and is enjoying the company and safety the home has to offer.

Good afternoon. Thank you for this feedback in relation to your experience with our Care Team and Care Home at The Manor in Exminster. It's really lovely to read that your brother-in-law, though frail, is in better health than when he became a resident at The Manor. We certainly do encourage our residents to go outside to enjoy the secure garden area or the central courtyard where many enjoy being involved with growing plants in the raised beds. The Manor also has the ability to book one of the two company mini busses throughout the year. Please do speak with the Care Home Manager if you have any concerns that your brother-in-law may not be getting as much opportunity to spend time outside as he would like. Thank you again for your feedback. Kindest regards.
