I am delighted to leave a review for the team at Gotton Manor. Everytime i visit i am greeted with a warm welcome. My Aunt has been there since May and is very happy and settled now. She is well cared for and the staff treat her with respect and dignity.
My husbands cousin has been at Gotton Manor since Sept 2016. Which in itself is testament to the wonderful care given by all in the team. She is always treated with respect and dignity and with a wonderful sense of fun. She has thrived hence being in her 9th year. Thankyou all
Thank you for this wonderful review. 9 years really is a testament to great care, and we have the privilege of caring for your loved ones. The care staff always like to make sure everyone feels welcome when visiting and make sure that the residents feel at home and treated with kindness and respect, so it is lovely to hear that this has been noticed. Thank you.
Overall this care home is managed very efficiently and I cannot fault it at all the staff are extremely supportive and helpful with the families of the resident that's staying there and there's no better place that I would want my parents to be looked after in than this care home.

Thank you for your kind review. How lovely to hear that there is no other place that you would rather your parents be cared for. I will be sure to pass on your kind words to the care staff. Thank you.
Both of my parents are now living at Gotton Manor Coach House and I am so happy with their care. Yes, the building is tired and in need of a lot of work, but the care and respect that the staff have for the residents outweighs all that, they really do seem to be like one big happy family and I...
Dad can be quite a tricky chap but everyone is so very patient with him and he (despite his best efforts) has slowly settled in. It's helped that Mum joined him in December as they could be together again. They celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary with the staff and the other residents, which was lovely. Also, when my daughter got married last month, the home management arranged for a carer to accompany Mum to the wedding for the day, which made all the difference to us as we could enjoy having her there with us without worrying about her well being. She had a lovely day!
Thank you Gotton Manor

Thank you for your lovely review. It has been lovely to see how well both of your parents have settled in to the Coach House. They are such a pleasant couple and it is a pleasure to have them here. We all had a fantastic time celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary and it was a great time for all staff and residents included. We all enjoyed hearing about the wedding and we wish your daughter a long and happy marriage. Thank you for the lovely review. The staff will appreciate your kind words.
Mum came to Gotton Manor from another care home , it was a better move for us all , no more long commutes , Mum arrived in August 2024 , in a very hot month , was made welcomed and soon adjusted to the different routine and timings . Mum was well looked after and although didn't join in much...
Well mums favourite , the food , was excellent very high quality and very well prepared by staff , no names but we all know the chef lol ....
Mums room was airy and light and laid out to her needs , she had patio doors which she could have open on sunny days . Sadly Mum lost mobility and found everything hard , but she had her tv which she loved .
Breakfast , morning coffee , lunch , afternoon coffee and usually cake lol , evening meal , always served hot and she never faulted it .
The staff, mum becomes very attached to her carers, i cant name them but a few had a special place in her heart and ours xx
Thank you
Thank you for the fantastic 5 star review! It was our absolute pleasure to be able to care from your Mum, and as you have reflected, although she chose not to join group activities, she was always complimentary about the food and the care staff. It is lovely to hear how the staff have such an impact on peoples lives. Thank you again for such kind words.

My mum moved into Gotton Manor in August of 2024, mum settled quickly and is very happy here. I was anxious about mum moving from her home of many years but I needn't of been , every member of staff and I mean everyone that works here in one form or another is amazing ! Nothing is ever too much trouble and the care mum receives is outstanding, the food is fantastic and I'm always made very welcome when I visit. Thank you to all at Gotton Manor for looking after my mum so well.
Thank you for your fantastic review of Gotton Manor Care Home. It is so lovely to hear how quickly your Mum settled and how happy she is at Gotton Manor. It is good to know that your mind is at rest. The care team really do like to make everyone feel at home and welcome and your Mum really enjoys being in the company of other residents and staff. It is our pleasure to care for her. Kind regards.

This is a beautiful heritage building with outstanding views. The staff are just so friendly and welcoming and they always have time to update you on your loved one staying there or for any questions you need answered. The building smells fresh and no odours like other homes I've visited. The building is warm, homely and bright. My daughter and I are so pleased that our family member is staying here. We've noticed a big difference in her, she's happy and most importantly she's made friends who apparently sit together most of the time especially meal times. There's activities on a monthly plan. The food is very good and my mum can't get enough. Her room is quaint with open beams and the outlook is overlooking the patio with seating and pot plants and up over the hills. My daughter and I feel so happy and we're treated like part of the family. We would highly recommend this beautiful care home.

I am the resident at Gotton Manor Coach House, I am living here for nearly 3 months. The staff are very friendly and kind. Lovely care home with beautiful views of the surrounding area and great atmosphere. Good food. When I order bacon sandwiches I get a lot. Home is very clean. Staff make a nice cup of tea every time and my brother likes it. I enjoy activities and wonderful time with staff.
Thank you so much for your kind words about Gotton Manor Care Home and the team! We do have a great team of friendly and kind people who love to provide lots of varied activities for residents and we're glad you like these.

The afternoon entertainment was very good the day we visited - a good old sing-along! I would have liked to stay longer but we had an impending two-and-a-half-hour journey to return home by 4.30.
Thank you so much for your great review and 5* rating. I'm glad to read how happy you are with the care your brother is receiving. I agree that you can't beat a good old sing-a-long. With best wishes - Managing Director.

First impression, a clean, spacious place, with a relaxed ambience. Superb staff who came every time he accidentally set off his personal alarm! and were very approachable and willing.
Also got to meet the resident cat, who seemed well looked after and in fine shape, a quiet reflection of the home?! I think so.
What a wonderful review. I hope your brother continues to settle in well. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts, with best wishes.

My mother has been a resident at Gotton Manor for nearly 3 years. The home is well managed and the care and welfare of the residents are always the top priority of staff. All members of staff are very caring and compassionate. This covers everyone including nursing and caring staff, management, domestic, catering and maintenance team; I could not wish my mother to be anywhere else except at Gotton Manor and would have no hesitation in recommending this facility to anyone looking for an institution to look after their loved ones.
What a fantastic rating. It's great for the team to be able to read about the positive impact they have. Thanks also for the five-star rating, with best wishes.
I have been a resident of Gotton Manor for the last six years. There have been significant improvements since Harbour Health Care became the care provider. I am currently very satisfied with the service provided and with the accessibility to a meaningful process for resolving any problems.

At first, the appearance of the Coach House unit made my heart sink however I was met with a clear sense of warmth and caring.
This part of Gotton Manor is tired but as it is smaller than the main house it is more like a large home which thoroughly suited my sister. Her temporary stay increased to 3 months. The staff are absolutely amazing. So cheerful and caring. This was a wonderful opportunity for my sister to get used to care home living.
We have had to move her to a care home nearer us but will always be grateful for the wonderful confidence my sister achieved and was made to feel loved.
The directions to Gotton Manor need to be signposted! The sat nav takes you everywhere and we ended up finding it almost by mistake!!
I will definitely look at signage - thank you for raising this.
I hope your sister settles well in her new home.

Dad lived at Gotton Manor Care Home from September 2022 to November 2023. I visited Dad there in September, October and November 2022 and in March, August and September 2023. I was always satisfied that Dad, who had dementia was being well looked after, even though my visiting times varied and were unannounced I never once heard staff raise voices nor saw any unpleasant attitudes, nor found unpleasant smells. I phoned often from France and the management and nursing staff always took the time to answer my questions. The food was plentiful and tasty too. Although many of the care staff were not born in the UK, we'd talk about how the elderly were cared for by family in their home countries and it was obvious that they were offering that level of care to Dad. After Dad died I realised my loss was their loss too and we cried together as if they were family. For me, care is much more important than buildings but when the lift broke down, the staff found solutions to get the residents to the dining room and communal areas.
With best wishes.
My husband has received the best care since arriving at Gotton Manor. He is happy and the staff are attentive to all his needs. As a relative, the staff are very friendly and supportive to my needs.

First impression was my room was like a prison cell, no pictures, no TV or radio and no WiFi connection, so I was totally cut off from the outside world. I requested to be moved after two weeks and my new room was much better, with a TV and WiFi. The nursing staff were all very kind and looked after me well. The physio team got me back on my feet and mobile enough to go home again. The meals and other staff were great, although meal times were hit and miss.
Thank you for taking the time to submit a review. It's good to read that the team were kind and looked after you. Also good to know that you moved into a more suitable room.

I cannot recommend this home highly enough. The transition for my mum into a nursing home has been huge, but I cannot believe how incredible the staff have been helping Mum settle. It feels like family every time I visit the home. Staff provide excellent nursery care and really truly care about the residents, along with excellent management staff too. We, as a family, can't speak highly enough of the service, care and nursing at Gotton Manor Care Home. I applaud all the staff and thank them for their kindness. You're all amazing.

Hello, my name is Janine. I am the Home Manager at Gotton Manor Care Home. I have been the home manager at Gotton Manor since February 2021.
I started my career in care in 1998, working as a care assistant in a local nursing home. Over the years, I have worked in community care, nursing homes, and residential homes, and whilst I worked for a care agency, I did HCA shifts in hospitals and hospices.
I have put my all into working my way up the ranks, and I was working in supervisory and Deputy Managers posts for over 10 years before becoming a manager.
Since working with our fantastic team at Gotton Manor Care Home, I have felt nothing but welcomed and supported both in-house and by the rest of the Harbour Healthcare team.
I am passionate about our residents receiving person-centred care, and I am very proud of our beautiful home and amazing views.

Hi! My name is Latoyah. I am the Home Administrator at Gotton Manor care home.
I started working at Gotton Manor in February 2021 as a data input support worker, registering our resident’s and staff’s Covid-19 tests. Since then, I have taken on roles such as being a Kitchen Assistant, Admin Assistant and Activities Assistant, before working my way up to the home Administrator role whilst currently working on my level 3 Business Administrator apprenticeship. I have loved every second, getting to know the lovely residents and working along side our amazing team!
