Abberton Manor Nursing Home

I was resident for care at this nursing home following a stroke from March to September 2020. At no time could I fault the treatment I received. It was excellent!

I have been a resident here since the new year of 2019. The staff have always been professional, friendly and helpful. Our kitchen staff works very hard - ensuring that food is prepared in the home - not prepared elsewhere and carried in. Laundry is dealt with quickly and efficiently. With registered nurses always on duty, advice and care are always available. This is far better than I ever imagine a home might be.

Came to see my Grandad for a visit in the garden. Brilliantly organised, the staff were very helpful and brilliant throughout the whole process. Never seen my grandad so happy in such positive homely environment. I would highly recommend Abberton Manor to everyone.

Thank you to all the staff that helped Mum. What with the covid 19 virus and Mum forgetting she had a memory problem, it must have been difficult at times. Special thanks goes to one particular member of staff for her understanding of Alzheimer's. Kind regards.

My father resided at Abberton Manor for just over a year, until he recently passed away. I have nothing by admiration and thanks for all the care my dad received whilst in Abberton Manor. He was looked after with so much compassion and love from all the staff, nothing was too much for them. The whole home had a lovely family feel to it and all were treated with great dignity and respect. I loved the way Abberton Manor had an amazing community feel to it. Often visited by the local school and various other outside organisations. We (the family) were also made to feel so welcome every time we visited - often daily! I would also like this opportunity to thank you and all your staff for the care and attention Dad received from all at Abberton Manor. Although it was a tough year for Dad, we couldn’t have asked for better care. All your staff are amazing and deserve a medal, they were so friendly, caring and compassionate. And made us all feel so welcome as a family when we visited.

My wife spent seven months at Abberton Manor whilst terminally ill with cancer. She was happy and content there, in spite of being bedridden. The staff were very friendly and very caring, she was completely lucid and was able to chat with the staff, several of whom became her friends within the limits of their duties. The food was good and she especially liked that if what was on the menu was not to her liking she could request something else and it would be provided. When she suddenly became very ill and was in her final days her passing was well managed and made to be peaceful and pain-free. I would strongly recommend Abberton Manor.

The staff at Abberton Manor Nursing Home were very friendly and helpful. I was so pleased my father was accepted into the home. My sister and I appreciated their kindness and attention to my father at his time of passing. We had total trust in the staff who helped our father to pass away peacefully.

Although our experience of Abberton Manor was a short one, we were able to appreciate the professionalism and high level of care from everyone working there, helping to make each resident feel important, and 'at home'. Thank you, everyone!

The resident is my best friends mum. Lovely caring and friendly home. Very supportive. Clean and lovely food. The staff are so kind and friendly. I would highly recommend.

Excellent care in all aspects.

From the time of my admission, I have been treated with the greatest kindness, consideration and respect. The staff are friendly and competent. I cannot think of anything more they could do to enhance the comfort and happiness of the resident.

My husband had a wonderful 90th birthday with friends and family. Thank you.

My Nan was in the care Abberton Manor from October to March. The staff were very kind and welcoming whenever we came to visit Nan. Towards the end of Nan's life, she became very poorly. Abberton Manor did everything they could to make Nan comfortable and supported our family through this difficult time. The care and attention was amazing, I can't thank Abberton and its staff enough for taking care of our Nan for us when we could no longer give the care that my Nan needed.

Abberton Manor is like a home from home for older folk, food good home cooked meals, staff very friendly, activity team are always planning something different every day. My nan was only here for four months, she passed away on Wednesday 21st March, the nursing staff were 5* with their end of life care towards nan and us. I can't thank you all enough.

I come here as a visitor to chat with residents and am always made welcome by staff and residents alike. It gives me a sense of wellbeing and I hope gives some meaningful time to them.

Dependency of residents is constantly increasing yet all are treated as highly intelligent individuals.

Thanks so much you are all amazing!!

Help and financial advice have been forthcoming and I have no hesitation in recommending Abberton Manor highly.

My mother lived at Abberton Manor for the last eight weeks of her life. The care she received was excellent and responded to her changing needs as her health declined. She was consistently treated with respect, kindness and sensitivity to her individual needs. Abberton Manor is a beautiful building in lovely grounds. It has a very welcoming and homely atmosphere created by the lovely staff team who always find time to chat with both residents and visitors. The food is good and the activities programme is varied and imaginative, taking into account the preferences of residents. It was a huge relief for me and my family to know that mum was being so well looked after in the final weeks of her life. The nursing staff always kept me informed about what was happening and I felt well supported and involved in mum's care at all times. I would have no hesitation in recommending Abberton Manor to anyone looking for a nursing home in the Colchester area.

The manager is so accessible, always around to help or talk to you about any worries. We recently held Xmas day at Abberton and nothing was too much trouble, she totally knew how important this was to us all and went the extra mile to make it absolutely perfect!
