My mum has been at The Manor for the last six months and is very happy. The staff are all friendly, very patient and are lovely with her. They are happy to chat to me anytime I have a query. My mum really loves the entertainment that is provided during the week and thoroughly enjoys it when the entertainer visits. During these sessions, they often sing, quiz, play games or participate in craft projects. It is the highlight of her week! I feel she is well looked after here and enjoy my visits to see her.
We are delighted with the improvement in my mother since she moved into The Manor last September. Although she suffers from dementia she is much more animated in limited conversations and enjoys all that The Manor provides in the way of care, food, entertainment etc. The staff are all excellent...
It has been a really positive experience for both mum and us and in her words "she loves it".

There is a friendly, open feel to the Manor. Staff are polite, professional and helpful. Recent changes to staffing have resulted in a new, dynamic with the greater emphasis on interaction and stimulation of residents. As a former carer, I believe this is a very hard environment to work within and I applaud the Manor for the care they provide.

My mother has been living at The Manor for over a year. She settled well and is very happy. The staff are wonderful and very caring. My mother is obviously very fond of all of the staff and they are very fond of her. It is a lovely, caring, supportive atmosphere. I also feel very supported and look forward to visiting. All the friends and relatives that I have taken to visit have been very impressed with the happy, friendly atmosphere. The manager is very 'hands on' and is always available for a chat. She is very enthusiastic and efficient. I am confident that my mother is being cared for well, and that she is safe and happy. I am glad I found The Manor!

Good morning Judith. Many thanks for taking the time to write and post this lovely review of your own (and your mum's) experiences at our care home The Manor in Exminster. It's always really nice to get feedback such as this as it's a great way of recognising the hard work that our care teams put in every day. I know I am always impressed when I visit The Manor and see so many fun things going on and so much engagement between residents, care team and visitors.

My step-mother's transition from home to The Manor Exminster was handled slowly and carefully. There had been serious safety issues while she was living alone in her own home due to her dementia as well as blindness from glaucoma. She had no insight into her condition, was wandering into town at night, leaving gas taps on and was losing weight, so the family had to make the decision for her to be cared for in a residential home. She was admitted with minimum disruption and the staff helped her to settle down in a remarkably short time. I feel confident she is warm, fed and well cared for physically, emotionally and socially. We are all very relieved and grateful to the manager and the staff.

Good morning Sharyn O - thank you for taking the time to write and post this review. It's a lovely story to read and we're all really proud of the role that the Care Team at The Manor has played in it. Moving into a care home is frequently a stressful process for residents and family and friends alike - everybody naturally worries that they might not be doing the right thing. More often than not, because the process is handled at a pace to suit everybody, it is the right thing and we see positive outcomes as you have described in your review. It's really important that people share these positive experiences, as you have done, as it will help to reassure others who find themselves (often with little forewarning) at the start of the process. Thank you again for this review and for choosing The Manor.
She enjoys the activities, food and help from the staff.

It's also really great for our care teams to see such feedback as this - so thank you again for it.
If it were not for the superlative quality of care that my aunt has received, following breaking her hip in May, I very much doubt that she would have been able to be there to celebrate her 100th birthday and enjoy the day.

I am likely to recommend The Manor to others and have done in the past. My mother has been there for two years and is happy and well looked after. Since the current manager took over it has been a pleasure to visit and my mother's care has been a lot more consistent.

The Manor is located in a pleasant village setting with plenty of opportunities for quiet walks and local outings. The care my mother receives is excellent. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the home provides many opportunities to socialise and take part in daily activities. A community hall in the village serves as a welcome second venue for such events, offering an opportunity to interact more widely with the world. Families are always welcomed warmly and encouraged to take part in the daily schedule. Menus are set, but the staff are always open to providing alternatives when residents feel peckish outside of regular mealtimes. The C18th building seems to be being maintained reasonably well, though the home is on two floors with only one stair-lift between them. If you're on the second floor it can be a bit of a wait to get up and down. The windows are also old and heavy, which makes opening them a little difficult. All in all though, The Manor seems very well managed.

Hello Glenn - thank you for taking the time to write and post this detailed and very positive review of our care home and care team at The Manor in Exminster. It's great that your mum receives excellent care. With regards to your point about the stair lift, we have investigated in detail the opportunity to install a passenger lift - this comes up against significant problems owing largely to the fact that The Manor is a Grade 2 listed building. The stair lift was found to be the best all round option. From memory, I believe we have 8 rooms on the first floor, so congestion should not be too much of a problem most of the time. We do our best to let those rooms to people who are more physically able of course. The sash windows, again, we hear what you say and again, we're very much restricted by the Grade 2 listing in what we can do about these - can't change the style, can't install PVC etc.
Anything can be delivered to the room whenever required within...
Mum would like a few more activities at times but it seems many residents are reluctant or unable to join in.

It's great to learn that your mum is very happy and has such positive things to say about the care team, food, environment etc. With regards to activities, I'll make sure that the Registered Manager is aware of this so she can speak to your mum to see if there is anything else that she can get involved with at The Manor.
Thank you for making the effort to understand my Dad!

My mother has lived at The Manor since June 2015. When selecting The Manor the choice was based on a number of reasons eg: the wonderful homely atmosphere, the rooms and clean facilities plus the home cooking! I must say that I didn't it could be improved but have recently noticed a stronger leadership with some exciting new ideas re entertainment etc. I Like the new arrangement - swopping the dining room with the lounge. The newsletter is great too! When I said 'good-bye' to mum a couple of days ago she said 'I love it here, I want to live here forever'!
Good morning Heather H. Firstly our thanks to you for taking the time to write and publish such a fantastic review of your own and your mums experiences at The Manor. We're all really pleased that you and your mum have been so happy at The Manor since June 2015 - the parting comment from your mum is indeed wonderful to hear.

After moving my mother from an excellent care home in Hampshire at one stage we were considering finding an alternative home, but since the new manager has taken over things have changed, activities have been arranged a choice of meals are now available and generally things have improved. Mother seems much happier now and we feel no need to move her.

My grandmother became a resident of the Manor in December 2015. The care she has received since then is first class. She and I are delighted with the Manor. The food, care and activities are catered specifically to the elderly with dementia tendencies. I would highly recommend the Manor.
