Tuxford Manor Care Home

The staff from the manager down work with you to give a lovely atmosphere and are always very helpful.

Cannot fault.

Tuxford Manor: A Care Home Like No Other. Located in the picturesque countryside. Tuxford Manor has gained a stellar reputation as the best care home in the area. Residents have access to the secure outdoors and enjoy fresh air, and plants and are allowed to do a little gardening. As a concerned individual, you want nothing but the finest services for your loved ones. The dedicated staff at Tuxford Manor is truly exceptional. The manager is an expert on dementia and care. They provide personal hairdressing, beauty and care services to the residents. My mother who had dementia had her remaining time spent in care with amazing staff. I could not wish for a better final resting than Tuxford Manor. A big thank you to all the staff, especially my mother's personal carer. I mention Tuxford Manor to anyone looking for a care home within the area, amazing place!

Wonderful, caring staff, nothing's too much trouble. All staff are very kind.

Dad would like to pass on his comments that in his view "they are all absolutely wonderful".

My mum is in Tuxford Manor Care Home suffering with Alzheimer's disease and went into the care home early summer 2023. She settled in very quickly and has a lovely bedroom overlooking the garden and fields which has always been important to Mum. The staff are lovely and always come over to say hello to me too. My dad was also in there for a few years but his issues were more physical. He also enjoyed the company and was able to talk to staff. Mum enjoys having other people around and can walk around freely, both in the home and garden. Some of the staff are still there from when my dad went in which was nice when I had to take Mum there last year. My dad kept falling over and Mum has had a couple of falls but I've always been kept informed and helped in different ways. My dad passed away during the second Covid spell but the home was very helpful at this time. The manager and all the senior members of staff are always happy to oblige. Thank you.

The management and care home staff know how to meet my mother's needs, and are very supportive of not just the resident, but mindful of the impact on the family. This is something we have never experienced in other care homes. The statement that resonated for me was, we are not just responsible for the welfare of our residents, we are also responsible for the welfare of family members, especially those who are struggling to cope with seeing loved ones with dementia/mental health problems.

Overall, we have been very impressed with Tuxford Manor and rate it very highly.

If I had a choice of going to a care home, Tuxford Manor would be my choice.

A high standard of care is given at all times. The manager always has time to talk to the family about any concerns we have, in particular while Mum has been ill. The home is clean and welcoming, and the gardens beautiful.

Last July my mum passed away at Tuxford Manor after five wonderful years in the home. My mum truly loved everyone who works there, and has worked there previously. On her final day, my mum was cared for by the whole team and each one of them came to say their goodbyes to her as we knew she was passing. I couldn't have asked for more from them, their care and consideration was exceptional. From the day she went in there she was safe and that meant I was able to feel settled and have a mother/daughter relationship again.

Mum has lived in Tuxford Manor Care Home for the last three years. She initially moved in with Dad and they were together there for eight months. Dad loved his food, joining in with the activities and chatting to everyone, whilst Mum who has always had a quieter personality likes to watch the world go by. Mum's dementia has progressed during her time there, the staff have adapted to this and treat her with dignity and patience. Tuxford Manor has a homely feel, excellent food and very caring staff.

My mother has been at Tuxford Manor for a couple of months and she settled in immediately due to the warm welcome, care and kindness shown to her by all the staff. She really enjoyed the activities and entertainment over Christmas and had a wonderful Christmas Day. She had been very lonely living on her own but now has made lots of friends and enjoys having so many other people (residents and staff) around her making her feel safe and looked after.

They also put on activities for residents and include everyone.

This is a top care home with top-rate care. My mother has been at Tuxford Manor for a number of years now and loves it. The carers at Tuxford Manor Care Home do genuinely care for the residents, my mother is always treated with dignity, me personally I am also genuinely impressed with the homely atmosphere and attitudes of the staff and carers, there’s a great atmosphere and lots of laughter with the staff and plenty of fun. Don’t think there’s any other care home that comes close to Tuxford Manor in my opinion.

My dad had bad chest infections twice over the winter and received excellent care whilst he was recovering. I have seen his positive response to the smiles and care he gets and I know he is very happy with being there.

The care home staff and manager have been so considerate and showed true care and compassion. We started with a respite for a few weeks and after the original assessment the local authority decided to move my dad but we appealed as he had settled so well and built trust in the team and fortunately, the decision was changed so he remained there until he recently passed. Highly recommend Tuxford Manor.

Staff very approachable and helpful. Any changes adhered to. Dad seems settled and happy.

My mother has been a resident of Tuxford Manor for 4 years since she was unable to care for herself in her own home. As I live in Australia I am only able to visit occasionally. My latest visit was in June 2023 and I continue to be impressed at how well my mum is doing and how eager she is to tell me how well she is being looked after. The staff and management are very receptive to any requests and I am always updated with any developments regarding my mum when I am back home in Australia. On my last visit, I spent most of the time with my mum in the garden which was a wonderful oasis and a feast for the eyes with all the roses in full bloom. I also experienced a visiting singer who was a real hit - resulting in lots of feet tapping and dancing by the more able residents. All in all, there is a great atmosphere at Tuxford which is grounded on the patience, competence and friendliness of the staff.

My mother has always been very independent and looked after herself till the age of 95, until a fall and rapidly progressing dementia resulted in her going into care. I moved my mother into Tuxford Manor in January 2023 after experiencing poor care at her initial care home. Tuxford Manor could not have been more different. The manager and her staff proved so much more professional and I was told more than once that they see it as a privilege to care for their residents in their twilight years, which was quite striking. The home is clean and inviting with plenty of different areas to sit including a lovely garden. My mother’s dementia progressed very rapidly over the last 9 months of her life but the staff at Tuxford Manor were able to adapt her care accordingly. If there was anything that you wanted addressing, then you just had to let the manager know and it got done. This was a difficult time for my mother and myself, but the manager and her staff managed it with care and compassion to the end.
