Stanton Manor

Stanton is and stands for it has been an exceptional experience and we are so grateful that mum got to spend the last few years of her life in this amazing home.

Stanton Manor is homely, and staff build up good relationships with all the residents. Food is home-cooked (relatives are encouraged to join their family members for meals), and entertainment is regularly provided either within the home or through trips out. All medical issues are dealt with efficiently and detailed records are kept. Whatever you wish for your relative, the Management and staff go above and beyond to provide it.

My Dad has been here for 5 months and I can't express my gratitude enough for how amazing and approachable every single one of the staff is. My Dad spent 6 months failed by the NHS and previous care home. This left him extremely untrusting of anyone but myself. I was shocked on his first meet with staff as it was the first time in 6 months I had seen him engage with anyone other than myself (apparently they had nice smiles), I instantly knew I needed him to be at Stanton Manor. I visit Dad numerous times a week unannounced and I am always met with a smile and a cuppa. I never thought I would find anyone to care for Dad like he deserved and every day I count my blessings and even trust their judgement over my own. They organise lots of events and even when no organised activities are on laughter and chit-chat is heard from the lounge. The cook is more than a cook, I see the rapport she has with the residents and her persistence with Dad is amazing. I feel like I've gained a new family.

Stanton Manor is a really lovely caring home. Nothing is too much trouble. From the moment my mum entered we were all made so welcome. All the staff work so hard to make sure the residents are well cared for. They have lovely meals and great entertainment. I am always informed and kept up to date about my mum. She is so settled and loves being there. It was the best decision we made, Mum has come on leaps and bounds, we couldn't wish for anything more. So thank you to the manager and all the staff. You all do a fantastic job.

I would absolutely not recommend Stanton Manor, particularly if your loved one has dementia even though they claim to be Dementia/Alzheimers friendly. I will never forget how Stanton Manor robbed my family of precious time with my Grandmother by denying visits. She had only been in there a few months before it started to become 'prison-like'. It got to the point where her last 5 weeks at the home were restricted to 1 visitor, once a week! All because they said she got agitated after her family left and found it hard to deal with her behaviour! We couldn't even visit Christmas day. Turns out the agitation had nothing to do with family visiting, it was to do with the disease itself. No home should deny any family visits! It makes me so sad and angry to think of how my Gran and family were treated during her short time there.

Lovely small care home, the staff are friendly and caring towards my relative. The home is always clean and tidy. Like that pets are allowed in the home, as the residents do like them. Food always smells nice and they have a choice of meals. The only thing that concerns me is when I see the cook going out for a cigarette break in her apron and hat, surely that isn't good practice for handing food, especially with vulnerable people.

It's an old manor house which offers a homely space, home-cooked food, and lovely gardens. If compared to the corporate purpose-built homes, you may think it is lacking....but it doesn't. What is not present in matching bedding and posh surroundings, is made up in the relationships that the staff build with each and every individual who lives there and their extended family. The humour and kindness is so appreciated. I can confirm from experience that records and systems are meticulously kept, the cleaning standards are high and the food is adapted to individual need. Sadly from November 2023, my mum's health declined and she died in January 2024. The staff worked closely with me to enable Mum to spend her last days with them... looking after us as well. So appreciated.

I can't thank the staff at Stanton Manor enough for the care they showed my mum over the past six months. She passed away recently and the love and care over Mum's last few days, and to us as a family, was exceptional. We, as a family, will always be grateful to them... Thank you.

After my nanna going downhill for a few years we made the tough choice to move her from North Wales to live closer to us so we were able to support her more easily and the staff at Stanton Manor could not have made the transition any easier or more pleasant... Nothing was too much trouble and they made the whole family feel really welcome not just my nanna... over the few months my nanna lived with them they really managed to build her confidence and bring her smile back... we really enjoyed being able to spend her last few months laughing with her again! I can't thank them enough.

I would like to thank all the staff at Stanton Manor for looking after Mum so well over the four and a half years when it was her home. Also for the care and concern they showed to myself and my brother during all this time and especially at the end, which was quiet and peaceful. Nothing ever seemed too much trouble and the communication over even minor details was excellent. Whenever we visited the smell was always of fresh baking, a true homely atmosphere. Relatives are always invited to the regular events with barbecues and refreshments, giving a real sense of normality for residents and visitors alike. It is hard not to feel guilt and sadness at having to 'hand over' the responsibility of care to others, but the manager and her staff make you realize that you can't do it all and they could provide the safety and care 24/7 which would be beyond most of us. They did the heavy work, leaving us to enjoy good times with Mum for as long as we could and for that we will always be grateful.

Grateful thanks all.

Mum moved into Stanton Manor in March 2011, she was suffering from severe dementia and Stanton Manor had been recommended to me as a specialist in dementia care. I could not have made a better decision. She had already been rejected from other homes because of her challenging behaviour, but Stanton Manor welcomed her with open arms and told me they would provide a home for her until she died, no matter what. Over the next ten years, the wonderful staff were true to their word and could not have provided Mum with better care - their Outstanding rating from the CQC is absolutely deserved. Mum settled well and although her dementia continued to be challenging, her needs were always met with kindness and patience. The home always communicated with me promptly and clearly by phone and email and always made me and other visitors very welcome. At the end of Mum's life, Stanton Manor did everything they could to keep Mum comfortable so that when the end came, it was very peaceful.

Following my relatives death the staff could have not been more supportive, even going the extra mile to ensure we, as a family were ok & took time to attend the funeral. My biggest compliment is that, if I should require residential care in the future, I hope I receive the same quality care as my late relative did at Stanton Manor. Thank-you to all staff and especially the Manager.

My Mother was Resident at Stanton Manor for 20 months, in that time we witnessed exceptional care to her, professionalism and attitude of staff from Management, Carers and cleaners, they always greeted with a smile. It was a pleasure to have Mam stay there.

My mother received excellent care from all the staff. I am so grateful that they were able to deliver end of life care. They made my mother's passing peaceful and I cannot thank them enough for the exceptional level of care and respect that they willingly provided.

I only have good things to say about Stanton Manor, it's manager and her staff. My mother was a resident there until she died last week surrounded by her loved ones, which included the care home staff! I couldn't have asked for better care, kindness and love to help my mum through not just her final difficult days but also the whole 18 months she had been a resident. The care shown was exemplary, but the staff are so compassionate that I felt that they wouldn't have given any better care to their own parent and the kindness shown to me and my family have made the whole sad experience so much easy to bear. As they know, I thank them from the bottom of my heart.
