The only thing that does worry me sometime, is weekends and skeleton staff, which I know is a problem.

Any concerns or worries please do not hesitate to come and see me. We really appreciate the time you have taken to support Abberton Manor with this review.

As a family we are absolutely delighted that our my mum is receiving exceptional care here. Without exception all the staff are caring and nothing is too much trouble. Not only do they look after our mum but have supported our family too. The building and grounds are beautiful, spotlessly clean and well maintained. It is a restful and peaceful environment. Residents have lovely freshly cooked meals every day. Visitors too can have a two course lunch for a very small charge. The frequent entertainment programme is fun and offers a huge range of activities. Without doubt we would highly recommend Abberton Manor and are very grateful for all the love and care they are providing.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Karen. They truly mean so much to all of us here at Abberton. It's a pleasure looking after your mum.

My brother has been a resident at Abberton Manor for nearly two years, two years of exceptional care! The staff are caring, attentive and, most important, recognise each resident as an individual, not a 'task'. A comfortable environment, excellent meals, attentive nursing and personal care and also a creative activities program that includes bringing the local community to the residents. As a residents relative I particularly appreciate the good communication with the staff. First rate!
Hello Adrian, thank you so much for your kind comments and praise, the team here appreciate every word. It's a pleasure to care for your brother.

During this call with (Lisa care home manager), we explained our Father's condition at length, Lisa seemed more interested in 'glossing over' our Father's health concerns, to upsell Abberton manor to us!. We were totally transparent about the fact our Father was blind, had dementia and was traumatised by the very recent loss of his wife of 60 years. The main reason for choosing Abberton Manor was location to my Father's beloved Mersea. On admitance (January 10th 2026), we were greeted with agency nurses who didn't seem to be aware of our presence, let alone my Fathers complex needs!. He was assigned an upstairs room ( he's blind!), I insisted on a sensory mat, to avoid my Father falling down a winding staircase!. Even when the mat buzzed no one came!, this happened regularly!. Abberton Manor has an ethos of money over care!
We are all sorry that we were unable to meet your demands; we feel your comments to be grossly inaccurate. There was very little understanding of your father's condition,and upon arrival it was very clear that he required urgent medical attention. It was highly frustrating that you would not...
We are all sorry that we were unable to meet your demands; we feel your comments to be grossly inaccurate. There was very little understanding of your father's condition,and upon arrival it was very clear that he required urgent medical attention. It was highly frustrating that you would not permit a hospital admission to treat your father's delirium, and from the outset our strong recommendations to help your father were overturned. On the day of his arrival, one of our nurses came into the home specifically to make him welcome, and so he was not "greeted by agency nurses". We are fully staffed without need for agency. He was not assigned an upstairs room, it was a room that your family member chose based on our shared understanding of his needs. Clearly his condition had worsened to the extent he required one-to-one care, which we duly put in place to keep him safe, at no expense to yourselves. We therefore find it hard to read your comments of "ethos of money over care".
Wonderful staff each and everyone who works at the Manor, are kind and enthusiastic with fantastic personalities with all of the residents. The nursing staff, are great and extremely knowledgeable the residents have the kindest of care. All the boys and girls on the care team are extremely hard...

The nursing staff, are great and extremely knowledgeable the residents have the kindest of care. All the boys and girls on the care team are extremely hard working and yet always have the time to sit and chat with residents as well as there visitors and keep everybody upto speed.

I could not recomend this carehome highly enough.My father has been a resident for over a year.The staff are delightful and do an amazing job. Food is always freshly prepared and delicious . I have been able to order lunch and eat with dad for a small cost. There are many activities during the week and visits from musicians choirs and more. I didnt think care homes could be like this ! There are lovely grounds to wander in including a walled garden ...my dog is welcome too!
Thank you so much for your review, family and friends are always welcomed, we have such a ranged of activities to suit everyone. It is an absolute pleasure and honor to have your father here with us. Thank you.

My sister was looked after at Abberton Manor for the last three months of her life, following a terminal cancer diagnosis. She always felt well looked after by the caring and supportive staff who took a really interest in her. She was treated with respect and dignity and always found the staff...
The staff at the home were also always ready to help us too, the family and to take time to talk to us. We found the whole atmosphere relaxed and friendly.
Thank you for your kind words. Your sister was a remarkable lady and It was an absolute honour to have known and cared for her.

My brother has been a resident full time for the previous 7 months, having received earlier intermittent respite care. I have been impressed by the care provided by all the staff at Abberton Manor, which is professional, prompt, and above all, kind and thoughtful. My brother has multiple needs, both physical and mental, and at times can present challenges, but he is treated with patience, in a friendly, cheerful and open environment. Family members are always warmly welcomed and encouraged to participate in the life of the manor, as well as being kept up to date on care issues in a timely manner.
It is our pleasure and privilege to care for your brother. Thank you for your review. We appreciate you taking the time to submit it.

I moved here at the end of October 2023 after 28 years in a certain area. My brother lives close by and I asked him and his wife to find me a nursing/care home in their area. After some time and many visits to other places, they decided Abberton Manor fulfilled my exacting requirements, not too many residents, great architecture, rooms with high ceilings and in spring/summer a garden to sit in. It has been an eye-opening experience for me, the staff day and night (nursing, catering) in fact everyone from top to toe has been very caring and attentive at all times. I cannot answer value for money as I have no input for this, my brother deals with all financial matters.
Thank you Pamela for your kind words, we are glad you are enjoying your new home.
Me and my family would like to say a big thank you to all the staff at the Abberton Manor Nursing Home for the truly great care that they gave my brother during his time there before he passed away. We were so very happy with the way we were welcomed when we visited my brother.

I was worried about my dad spending his last days in a care home but as soon as we got to Abberton Manor Nursing Home, the staff where lovely. The respect and the care he received were beautiful. Couldn't ask for a better place for him to spend his last days and can’t thank the staff enough.

I have worked in the Care sector since 1998 working my way through the roles from Care Worker to Area Manager, each role learning and developing along the way, each bringing its own reward and making a difference. As the years have gone by, my role changed from hands-on one-to-one care to support and mentoring and then management. Most importantly, getting the balance right with a focus on the ethos ‘nothing about me, without me’.
I love the Heritage values and transparency, and from my first visit to Abberton I knew the moment I walked through the door, what a good feeling the home had - so homely, and both residents and staff supported and happy. We are passionate about ensuring all residents live life to the full and make each day the best and as fulfilling as it can be.
I started at Abberton Manor in 2017 as a Care Assistant and was promoted to a Team Leader in 2022. At the end of 2023, I was promoted to Head Housekeeper.
