Review from E M (Wife of Resident) published on 22 August 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband has settled in really well. He likes his room and it is nice and private when family visit. The staff are all very polite and helpful. One big bonus is the lack of "bells" ringing continuously as in other care homes - so much more restful and less stressful for the residents (and visitors)
He is always ready for mealtimes which he enjoys. When looking for a place suitable for my husband, we liked how we were shown around, the general atmosphere and the welcome we were given. We made a good choice and thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was a bit dubious about having a 3-week respite stay in a care home but my worries were definitely unfounded. I couldn't have had better treatment and care. All staff were helpful and friendly and literally couldn't have done more to make my stay a happy and comfortable one. The food was good and
the room clean. Nothing was too much trouble. If I ever need to go into care again I would not go anywhere else. Management and staff deserve a round of applause.

My 90-year-old mother is at Manor Court awaiting assessment. The premises and facilities are of a very high standard and spotlessly clean at all times. The food is always hot and freshly prepared in the kitchen on site and enjoyed by mum.


The staff are always attentive and nothing appears too much

trouble for them. Extremely happy for the care, dignity and respect shown and all with good humour.

My father who is a resident at Manor Court Care Home, has been seriously ill. The care given to him has been outstanding. We have to travel from Lincolnshire and we are always treated well and given tea and biscuits, sandwiches, even a room if one is free!

When my Father went to Manor Court he had just come out of a hospital.
All the staff at Manor Court made him very welcome.
Their kindness and care have made his recovery very much sooner than I expected.
I would recommend this care home to anyone.
I send my love and thanks to everyone who cared
for my father.
I can never thank you enough.

My father was admitted to hospital on 10/5/17 with a suspected hip fracture. This proved to be the case and he needed his special tablets/medicine. One of the carers delivered them in her own time during the late evening. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. They are simply outstanding.

I truly believe that the staff at Manor Court have the best interest of the residents at heart and strive to do their very best for them. The staff also consider the needs of those who visit to ensure that any concerns are addressed and are always kept up to date with the condition of their loved one.
A very caring care home long may it continue.

I live in New Zealand and have been visiting family here. I work in Elder Care in New Zealand.
I found Manor Court very warm, welcoming and friendly. The residents appeared well cared for and were enjoying an Easter Party. We were made very welcome by all the staff and encouraged to join in with the
activities.
I was impressed with the resident's personal room space and facilities.

Review from Derek P (Son of Resident) published on 24 April 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
My Mum is happy to be in the care home, she is now comfortable in her surroundings she now calls home. In the last month, she has been involved with all the activities that are simple to remember such as cake decorating and listening to the entertainers who visit the home. During the month she has also
felt vulnerable as another resident has been entering her room and is sometimes in a state of undress which has frightened her as this is a male resident. I have asked for a hallway camera to be installed but privacy issue does not allow this, staff cannot be around her room all the time so we find this is a problem. She has just celebrated her 91st birthday.

My dad came to this home as a temporary arrangement from hospital, I felt instantly my dad was at home he seemed happy and laughing and joking with staff, but the thing I liked the most of all is the openness, we as a family can visit, we can come and go as we please, which makes me feel my dad isn't
in an institution but a home, and he has since then made the decision to stay and is happy and a pleasure to go and see him.

The care home staff have been excellent dealing with my mother and father in law. They have given us peace of mind knowing they have been looked after and are in a safe place. The staff are very willing to go the extra mile and nothing is too much trouble.
The sympathy and sincerity of the staff when
my mother in law passed away was genuine and very much appreciated by all the family. Excellent service.

Manor Court is a real home from home. My mother loves it here and she has a beautiful room. The staff are all very friendly and are always very helpful. There's always some activity or entertainment going on so there's always something for the residents to do. The home itself is absolutely spotless
and I can't praise it enough.

Nan has dementia and has not been very well. She has received very close attention to ensure she does not deteriorate further. All staff treat her with dignity and respect and with so much care. They can't do enough for her. It is a lovely home with good sized rooms and lots of activities and communal
areas if individuals want it.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Mum has been at the home for several weeks, obviously, confused and afraid. The staff have been really great, friendly and helpful. The only criticism I have is that the doors to the rooms should have a door handle and catch (not necessarily locking but more secure) as the door tends to open on its
own if there is a slight breeze or if someone touches it (as older confused folk tend to do including my mum) when the door does open involuntarily it frightens her and she loses the "feeling" of being in her own house.

This was the first-time mum has been away from home and myself. I am very happy with the care given and made mum settle very quickly. I asked my mother if she should stay at Manor Court when social services said there could be a need to move. Manor Court dealt with this very quickly, giving me little
time to worry. Mum is always happy. Mum loves the accommodation as she is not a good mixer, very slowly joining in which I was pleased to see, Staff always ready to talk and help out with anything you ask.

My mother-in-law lived very happily at Manor Court for two years. She had an excellent room- spacious, light, spotlessly clean. She was very well fed and cared for. The staff were superb and greatly enhanced her experience there. They were exceptionally caring, cheerful and helpful in every way. I
cannot praise them highly enough.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.985)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.985) out of 10 for Manor Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.985 for Manor Court is calculated as follows: ( (128 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 130 Ratings = 4.985
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Manor Court is based on 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 37 registered maximum number of service users is 7.4, which has been reached with 11 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
