Canford Manor Nursing Home

He did not want to be there but staff looked after him as well as he would let them. We visited often and at all times and always found an open, warm and professional welcome. The nurses particularly were heroes. The home made his death as bearable and dignified as possible. The manager told me, "This is your Uncle's home, not ours." She meant it.

My Mum is very happy at Canford, her personality is welcomed. She is cared for and her requests dealt with. The staff are patient with her, joke with her and she enjoys that. She loves the entertainment and the people who visit to provide that. As a 94 year old, she feels safe, care for and happy. The care home is clean and bright. Thank you.

I would like to thank all the staff that looked after my mother. We can't thank you enough for being so caring, not just looking after her, but all her family as well. Can't recommend the home enough. Once again. Thank you.

100% service.

All the staff were supportive of my mother and her family. Queries were answered in a clear and informative manner. Concerns were always promptly dealt with. As her health deteriorated her care was adapted to deal with her changing needs. Her end of life care was dignified and kind and we her family were fully involved in all the decision making.

My husband is very happy at the home and the home was fantastic in getting him a room downstairs which makes life so much easier with the use of his wheelchair.

All the management and staff really do everything they can to make it a proper home for their residents. They not only took care of my grandma but all the family as well. It is a happy home. The staff could not do more to help their residents and families. The food is amazing plenty of it and home cooked! The home itself is beautifully decorated, light and airy and smells lovely! There are plenty of activities most days, ranging from flower arranging and arts and crafts to quizzes and music sessions. The summer fete was amazing, outside entertainment, raffles and bric-a-brac all made to a perfect summer day! The management team are welcoming and have an 'open door' policy where families can have a chat. All of the staff, not just carers have a great rapport with all of the residents and their families. Would definitely recommend this home to anyone!!

Can't recommend them enough.

It is very good value for money and my nan's room is lovely and not at all hospital like.

My wife became a resident at Canford Manor Nursing Home for a short time before unfortunately passing away.

During that time, myself and my son found that she was being cared for by a fantastic staff who showed complete empathy and compassion and attended to her every wish and need, making her stay as comfortable as possible.

The quality of food was excellent and they even went out of their way to satisfy her particular culinary desires.

Both management and staff made us and other visitors most welcome and were forthcoming in reasonable information requests in a helpful, competent and efficient manner.

Words cannot express how grateful we are to everyone there for their generosity of spirit and making a difficult situation as endurable as reasonably possible.

We would highly recommend Canford Manor to anyone who requires top quality nursing care for their loved ones.

Canford Manor has provided a very homely environment for a short end of life spell. The management and the professional nursing team are excellent and treated Mum with so much dignity and care. They were sensitive, kind and caring to all family members. The transition from Mum's home to Canford was simple and relaxed because of good management and understanding. Canford Manor sets a very high standard and clearly, resident care is of upmost importance.

My Husband became a resident of Canford Manor in Aug 2015. I had looked at several homes and was in despair as they were all so awful. I was impressed before I had even seen it as the Manager rang me quite late in the evening after assessing him in hospital to assure me that she would accept him. When I visited the following day I was even more pleased with the choice. The home is like a home from home, with lovely furnishings and everything is done for the benefit of the residents. Everyone of the staff are wonderful and it is not just a job to them. They are good with every resident and I am sure at times there must be difficult ones but they are always happy and are obviously attached to the people they look after. Nothing is too much trouble. The food is good and it seems if a resident has a particular wish for something it is readily available. There is a varied program of events which residents can join in. The staff discuss everything with relatives to make sure they are aware what is going on and will make time for this whenever suits you. Not only have I been impressed with the care given and the whole atmosphere of the place but every visitor that my Husband has had over the last 6 months has said exactly the same. Sadly, my Husband died this week and the staff have been nearly as upset as I am. I have made friends of them and they have helped so much with many ups and downs over the last 6 months. I would highly recommend Canford Manor to anybody who will listen!

Thank you.
