Abbots Leigh Manor Nursing Home

My father was well looked after and cared for. Nothing was too much trouble and they kept us well informed of his condition. I would recomend this care home to anyone.

If anyone is looking for the perfect home from home to leave a loved one then I would highly recommend this perfect home.

This is s truly outstanding nursing home. The staff looked after my mother and father exceptionally well; they were both treated with the greatest dignity and were given friendship and wonderful care. When my parents moved in they were understandably trepidatious, but Kathy and her staff quickly settled them in and saw them through to their ends. I will be forever grateful. A friend of mine is now there and she is receiving the same levels of thoughtful compassion. The place is superbly well run. There is excellent staff retention. It is traditional in its values and in its atmosphere. The gardens are beautiful. I have only the warmest memories.

Mum has been a resident at Abbots Leigh since January 2026. Mum has a lot of needs which requires nursing care. We are a large & close family & we've all found the staff so attentive & caring - nothing is too much trouble. We feel at peace mum is in the best place which provides a warm, friendly , caring professional , safe & calm environment . Kathy the home manager is friendly & approachable. All the staff are very friendly & helpful. The home provides entertainment for all the residents , despite mums disabilities they involve her in all the activities . The meals are plentiful , offering a menu choice to suit all dietary requirements. The rooms are all comfortable & clean. From day one mum was made to feel welcome , cared for , comfortable & at home. Overall I would highly recommend Abbots Leigh.

Mum has been at Abbots Leigh Manor for 8 months and her experience has been excellent. I can't recommend it enough! Don't be put off by the lack of slick marketing and sales.

The manager Kathy, reception staff, carers, nurses, cleaning staff and activity coordinators are wonderful. Everyone is friendly and calm and my mum said she immediately felt safe and cared for.

The activities are on every day morning and afternoon and are great fun and very inclusive. Every couple of months there are professional entertainers who are great to watch (I've been there for several performances!). Mum loves the art activities.

I pop in all times of day and its always welcoming. I do mum's hair in the onsite salon, but there's also a weekly hairdresser.

I recommend a visit. You won't regret it!

All in all, what could have been a very difficult transition has been made so much easier by Kathy the manager, and every member of the team. Thank you.

The doctor visits when needed and the medical staff are excellent.

I would recommend them fully to anyone who is looking for a HOME that CARES.

My father was diagnosed with Alzheimers in 2019. He lived alone in Essex, and I bought him over to Abbots Leigh Care Home in July 2022 after several falls and a cataract op. I had looked at several other homes and knew they would not be suitable. Abbots Leigh came highly recommended by a close friend. It took Dad some months to settle, but the care and kindness of staff; the relief from chronic loneliness; long talks to Carers in the early hours of the morning; the resident cat, beautiful gardens, 2 ponies to visit and home cooked food slowly helped him relax. Dad was never going to be one for 'activities' but he loved the concerts and visits by children. He was encouraged to find his own way to feel at home and found a spot where he could sit and chat all day to staff and passers by. As he relaxed he would laugh and joke and tell long (often fanciful) stories. Yes, of course there were bad days, but I never regretted the move from Essex and the fact that Abbots Leigh made Dad's last years as good as they could be.

Mum and Dad both in their 90's moved to Abbots Leigh Manor in July 2024. Mum with Cognitive impairment and Dad with heart problems. Unfortunately Dad passed in September 2024. During his short stay he was looked after by various members of staff who were all caring and compassionate. The home manager was always available to us during this difficult time. Mum has stayed in the home and all the staff helped her settle in after the passing of her husband of 70 years. Abbots is in a great location with both the home and extensive gardens are well maintained. The activities staff work hard to engage with the residents to make daily life in an old peoples home as varied as it can be. Any issues with mum are recorded and promptly communicated to me. My wife's employment required her to visit most of the homes in the Bristol area and cannot she cannot think of a better place for my mother to be. I would not hesitate to recommend Abbots leigh Manor.

My sister has now lived there for nearly 8 months and is settled and content. Her room is beautiful and always clean and fresh. She eats well and has even gained a little weight. As a family we could not ask for more. I visit 3 or 4 times a week and am always greeted with warmth.

Mum has been at Abbots Leigh for around 18 months following a severe stroke. She has significant care needs and the staff at the home helped her settle in quickly and are always friendly and caring. when mum has experienced periods of discomfort they have identified the problem and taken appropriate action promptly. When we visit we are always made to feel welcome and the atmosphere feels like one big family. There are always different activities happening and the activities team are always open to suggestions for more options. The manager is always happy to discuss any aspect of mums care and any concerns we might have. We are very happy with the care mum has received at Abbots Leigh and would recommend it to anyone looking for a care home for their loved one (or Themselves).

The staff and Management have made her feel welcome and safe. They are very kind, caring, attentive and considerate. My Mum particularly loves the activities as there is always something on that she finds entertaining. We really appreciate the home cooked food and thought that goes into freshly prepared meals. I always talk about Abbots Leigh very highly to others, and so does my Mum.

The village has a lovely cafe in the pub (fire in winter, garden in summer) and we have become regulars. The garden centre down the road has a nice tea shop too. I could not recommend AL more highly.

I feel very fortunate to have found this nursing home and would have no hesitation in recommending it.

During the end of Mum's life, the dignity, respect and care shown by the staff was exceptional and a great comfort to me during that very difficult time.

Glad Mum is cared for here. The room is homely and cosy. She's not demanding but feels a little more attention would do no harm considering she pays the same amount as residents who are completely dependable on carers. She's left to her own devices a lot of the time and moans to her offspring which we can't do anything about. We do our best to make her feel happy but the food is the main issue. It's bland and simple so she looks forward to us taking her home-cooked meals. We aren't a family to judge but for the money to stay here things could be improved.

Dad passed in the most dignified and respectful way. As a family, we thank all the staff for first-class, exceptional care. Thank you.

A meeting was recently held in which residents were given a chance to vent any criticisms. No one could find anything bad to say and instead made a vote of thanks to the manager, followed by a round of applause. That said it all.
