Barchester Caldy Manor

I was impressed with the genuineness of the care and how deeply it was embedded in the culture. My impression was that this caring attitude was so strong it would survive a change at the senior leadership level. An example was the tenderness with which a carer held and stroked the hand of a very immobile lady. Wow! It was not the only example of this kind. The compassion came shining through.

Caldy Manor, at present, is not as good as it was in 2012.

The care and nurturing both my parents receive is extraordinarily good.

They are treated with respect, (which is paramount) subjected to high levels of communication and guided when making choices. The activities stimulate them and keep them content.

A heartfelt thank you. We could not have found anywhere better.

Caldy Manor, on the Wirral, is a warm and friendly place with excellent attentive staff. My mother has a lovely room overlooking beautiful gardens. She feels safe and well cared for with new friends made and activities to do. Her condition has improved since living at Caldy Manor these last 12 months and I am pleased that she is no longer lonely and now more content. I can fully recommend Caldy Manor.

The staff always make you feel very welcome. Its such a pleasure to come and see the residents. I sometimes stay for lunch with them.

I have had a very restful week doing nothing! It has been a learning experience realising how selfless the staff are when dealing with all the residents and also I have learnt a lot about folk who can no longer cope on their own.

It is a friendly, warm home and home is what it is for mum now. The rooms are well kept and clean and very comfortable. We are happy with our decision.

Caldy Manor is set in peaceful surroundings with lovely gardens and a large terrace. The rooms are comfortable and the home has good facilities and a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. The staff are kind, considerate and caring and I am very happy with the choice we have made for my father who needs care as he is now quite frail.

When I came here after having a hip replacement operation I was in so much pain, but the staff were all so kind to me. Nothing was too much trouble. I would absolutely recommend Caldy Manor without hesitation.

I am very pleased with the care for my mother (91) and my father (95). They share a room and every provision has been made for them. The staff are friendly and professional. They are treated with respect and patience. No problem is too much and they get excellent care. The manager is always available and have been so helpful with the financial aspect of their care. I am delighted and relieved they are at Barchester Caldy Manor.

Pleasant companions. Walks in the lovely gardens. Nice comfortable room. Varied meals. Music in the afternoon. Taken to Grosvenor Hall to vote.

All the seniors and staff are very approachable. The staff turnover has been exceptionally high over the last 1 and a half years and I hope we can go through a more settled period. One of my concerns has been 'stimulation' and entertainment, these areas are being actioned positively with new initiatives and a new staff member.

This is, without doubt, the most impressive home from among the 18 I contacted/visited when looking for appropriate medium-term respite for my 86 year old dad. The settings are fantastic, every single member of staff that I have met are genuinely interested in dad's welfare and well-being and the facilities are excellent. Caldy Manor represents excellent value for money and has the added reassurance of good ratings by the Care Quality Commission.

In addition, the weekly 'surgery' held at the home by the local GP, as well as the determination of the staff to ensure that all external health care providers fulfil their duties ensures piece of mind - not least because prior to dad's stay, trying to co-ordinate, chase or manage his health needs from among the various providers was almost impossible.

Dad, who has previously been averse to the idea of a care home, is happy, settled and enjoying his time at Caldy Manor.

The food seems okay and the staff have always been friendly. We have discussed this with several other visitors to this elderly couple and found they were of the same opinion. Very recently there has been some improvement with refurbishment of some of the room contents.

Barchester Caldy Manor is an amazing care home. Beautiful environment, wonderful gardens and spotlessly clean. The staff are so patient and kind, all the time. Nothing is too much trouble. They know the residents well and always have time for a chat and a laugh. The food is very good- with a good choice at every meal.

To find a care home, showing compassion and dignity for ones loved one, is of paramount importance. I have found this to be the case at Caldy Manor, where the caring staff and management, always on hand to listen and help with any questions a relative may wish to raise. My husband is at present receiving respite care, with a view to longer term care.

My Mum has been in Caldy Manor now for 2 years she has Alzheimer's. Although initially this was a difficult decision we could not have been happier with the care we have received. The staff are outstanding, kind and thoughtful - nothing is too much trouble. All residents have their hair done weekly and there is entertainment on a daily basis. In the warmer weather the residents can be found outside eating ice lollies and enjoying the lovely gardens. The atmosphere is friendly and happy and you can always help yourselves to a cup of tea or stay for lunch or dinner. I feel really lucky that my Mum is here at Caldy I feel that her care is excellent and the little touches throughout the home, flowers etc make it a lovely warm welcoming home. Smells lovely and your welcome anytime at all. As a Nurse I feel that I can recommend Caldy both as a professional but most importantly as a daughter.
