Abberton Manor Nursing Home

My mother spent her last 12 days in Abberton Manor. During this time, her care was excellent. All the staff, especially the nurses and carers, were warm, kind and caring. The family were extremely grateful that the staff ensured she was comfortable and pain-free throughout her short stay. Many thanks.

My Grandmother was admitted here from hospital and to be honest any care setting would not have been a preferred option. However she looks well looked after when I visit her, she is looking far healthier than when she was living at home so obviously needed that level of support in hindsight. Staff have been very welcoming, friendly and helpful both in the flesh and over the phone. It's a lovely environment to visit and is clean tidy and homely also allowing dogs to visit, which is great for both myself and my grandmother. I do feel she is safe and in a good environment where she is thought of very fondly. Thank you.

Following a serious fall at home last August, it was soon apparent that my mum was in need of 24-hour nursing care. I had no hesitation in approaching Abberton Manor as they had previously nursed my dad so well during the last weeks of his life in 2020. I was so relieved to find that they had space for mum, and she was soon settled in a lovely room in which she could begin her recovery. All of the staff were devoted to mum's care and well-being and treated her with such kindness, patience and compassion during those first weeks when she was in so much pain. The staff at Abberton nursed mum back to health and gently encouraged her to get up and dressed every day so she was able to eat her meals in the lovely dining room, and enjoy the comings and goings and activities in the homely lounge. I was so pleased to see mum regaining her weight and strength. Mum now regards Abberton as her home and I am very happy that she is now there permanently where she continues to thrive.

My Mother is staying and being looked after at Abberton Manor. When she arrived she was in a sorry state. The nurses there have brought her back to good health. What strikes me so clearly about this place, is that the staff genuinely care for my Mother. She is very happy there and I feel one cannot ask for more than that.

I also found that many items of clothing and personal belongings went missing. Majority of staff were pleasant, however, the odd one or two were rude to visitors.

The staff were very kind, busy and helpful. The food was excellent and never went hungry. The house was lovely and had nice gardens. A shower in my room would have been nice but appreciate it is an 'old' house. Would like to have gone out for a visit somewhere.

Our mother was well looked after during her stay at Abberton. The staff were extremely caring and helpful; nothing was too much trouble. Mother always looked so comfortable. I particularly like the way they spoke to Mum to engage her in what was happening. Thank you to all the staff at Abberton.

The staff are very friendly and caring. Thank you. Due to a developing illness my mother moved on from Abberton. She stills remembers some of her days there, which is nice to hear. I even shed some tears when my mother left. I do recommend Abberton Manor.

All of the staff are caring, professional, and extremely supportive. My mother has the best possible care with staff going above and beyond to ensure the safety and happiness of their residents. The food is excellent with a varied menu, and the rooms are bright and comfortable, I couldn’t be more grateful for the staff who genuinely seem to care not only about their residents but the families too, thank you.

Abberton Manor Nursing Home is a beautiful care home both inside and out! The gardens are always kept looking beautiful and are fully accessible to the residents and family visiting should they wish to use them. Abberton Manor Nursing Home is a very safe and clean home and the staff always go above and beyond to give their service users the care and support they need to live their lives to their absolute fullest. The activities are always great fun! With staff always coming up with new ideas to give the residents a great time! Should they choose to join in. Like all human beings we all have our down days the staff at Abberton Manor Nursing Home give loving care to cheer up and prompt service users to join in or if they wish to just sit and watch, no one gets left out! I am a relative of a service user at Abberton Manor Nursing Home and I couldn’t have made a better choice, my relative has blossomed during her stay and continues to be very happy and safe and very very well cared for.

We would like to thank all the staff who took care of our mum in the last week of her life. The care and compassion shown to us all especially Mum was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend. Thank you.

Nice to see the home open for visiting again without appointments. Some new faces, possibly agency. All appeared calm at the point of the visit, and all staff encountered were polite. I fed my mother for the first time in nearly two years. I feel the home is gradually returning to normal.

Staff are very caring and helpful - Dad appears well looked after. Visiting is difficult post-covid. Hard to get a convenient time to fit around work due to limited visiting.

Everyone at Abberton Manor was kind and friendly, professional and caring. Dad's every need was recognised and he was assisted and enabled to maintain as much independence as was possible. He and I viewed all the staff as friends. I thank you all for your love and care of Dad.

I thought that the care my mum had was good. Staff were always helpful and kept us up to date with any changes to my mum's condition. She was kept clean and staff dealt with her with a sense of humour which she appreciated.

The fabric of the building is in need of some refurbishment as do the bedrooms and public areas that we saw, especially in view of the monthly charge. There were some miscommunication issues internally but generally, the nursing staff were attentive and compassionate.

My father is terminally ill and my elderly mother could no longer cope. He wanted to go into the hospice but they had no space so he agreed to try Abberton Manor. We are so pleased with the level of care he has received and he is very happy. The manager has been excellent and so helpful, she and her team have gone the extra mile to make my dad feel comfortable and at home. Not being able to visit at the moment is unfortunate and hard but we feel very reassured that he is being well looked after. He said the food is very good too. A huge thank you to you all.

It id difficult to review as we have been unable to visit due to covid. However, we have been kept up to date regarding my mum's condition and her general well being. There is always someone at the end of the phone who will answer my questions and put me at ease. I feel very confident that she is being well looked after.

The team at Abberton Manor all do an amazing job caring for Mum. They are all very friendly, caring and work incredibly hard to support Mum and make her comfortable at this difficult time in her life. We are very grateful and have nothing but admiration for what they all do.

Always a lovely, friendly, inviting environment. Very homely, caring staff and management are very helpful. Definitely would recommend to others looking to put their relatives into a real home from home.
