After a long and arduous search for the right kind of care for my wife of 48 years who is suffering from a horrible illness of the brain affecting memory . I visited 4 homes in total all of which were good but the Barchester Manor stood out partially due to its specialist unit and the care staff , who are amazing. It's more of a Hotel than an institution.

We chose Manor Care Home for our father's respite care after the assessment promised personalised care, daily hygiene support and awareness of his conditions. The reality was very different. Staff didn't seem to know he was arriving. His care plan took over a week. His dressings weren't followed, pads weren't allowed without explanation, and hygiene was inconsistent. When a doctor issued an emergency antibiotic prescription, the home didn't collect it or tell us. Our mother found out and fetched it herself at night. He had missed two doses. Shortly before a doctor called paramedics, staff were discussing his return home with our mother, raising no concern. Three days later, after 17 days at Manor, he died of sepsis. We raised this with the home first. We share it so families ask harder questions: who owns the care plan from day one, how instructions pass between shifts, and who to contact when something is wrong. What we were promised is not what he received.

My sister came to The Manor for 2 weeks respite care. She has difficulty walking and we were encouraged that there is a resident physiotherapist who could help with mobility, and the advertised ' delicious meals', which she was looking forward to. Unfortunately she fell just before she was due to leave and eventually stayed 4 more weeks. The physiotherapist was then on annual leave for 2 weeks, so her mobility did not improve after her fall. She became very unhappy about the quality, presentation and sometimes quantity of the food which was often only warm when it reached her. Only after both she and I complained to the manager was the food improved for her last few days there. Staff were caring and kind but there was some problems with communication and I was very surprised that there was no manager on site over the bank holiday weekend when I was extremely concerned about some of the meals and the reception staff had to take messages.

I visited this home on 14th August. This is not a typical care home. It looks more like hotel! It was super clean, bright, well ventilated and smelled fresh. The staff were super helpful. All the residents I saw seemed happy. But what I found most unusual was the ambience. There was a wonderful...
P.S. I have no commercial or family connection to the owners.

Unfortunately Phyllis has never been a sociable person, and after 3 weeks she began to protest. She became belligerent and was hostile to the staff and residents at times. She began to refuse food and drink despite staff trying to persuade her. Lots of activities were available but despite staff tryin to persuade her she avoided joining in. Staff were patient with her but unfortunately she made racist remarks against them.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us your review.
The home has cared for my mother extremely well. She has recovered very well from a major operation. The physio team have been amazing in getting my mother back on her feet and walking again. All of the staff have been great.

My aunt is currently in The Manor for respite care following a fall. All aspects of her care have been excellent. The home is clean, spacious, & welcoming. All the staff are kind and helpful. Special mention to Ramis the physio who has helped aunt become mobile and confident again.

Mum, having lived independently for 8 years being moved from London had an episode which lead to a 3 week stay in hospital. On discharge it was decided, by the family, that she was incapable of returning to her home and living independently. After looked at a couple of care homes it was decided partly due to there being vacancies that Mum would initially go into the Manor Care Home. Since moving in Mum has begun settling in and although "its not home" she has gradually integrated into both the surroundings and with the other residence. Mum enjoys the activities and is quite happy with food and the care she receives. Overall we are very happy with the care she receives.
Thank you very much for taking time to leave a review for us. It means a great deal to have your feedback and I will ensure this is shared with our team.
Overall Mum couldn't have been better looked after and we are so thankful to them.

You are all trained and experienced in dealing with this, but we were made to feel a very personal sense of care and concern.
It was a privilege to care for your mother. She will be fondly remembered by our team.
My wife and I could not be more pleased with the care that John (Father/Father-in-Law) received at this lovely Care Home. Before he died, peacefully, he told us several time how dedicated and kind all the staff were. He said, repeatedly to us and the staff that "I don't want to be here." The staff...
Even after John had died and we had collected his belongings flowers arrived for my wife

I’m Katrina, General Manager here at The Manor and a Registered Nurse. I’ve spent over 25 years leading and supporting care services, including general nursing, rehabilitation and specialist dementia care.
I have been told that I am known for my calm, approachable style, and perhaps that’s because I believe strongly in creating a workplace where staff feel listened to, valued & supported. I believe that if staff are empowered to deliver their best, this directly impacts the quality of care that residents receive, being the highest standard of compassionate person-centred care.
I was honoured and incredibly proud to be a WAGs award winner in 2024, receiving the Superwoman award for my contribution and leadership in adult social care.
I’m incredibly passionate about my job, but when I’m not at work, I love spending time with my family, including my 3 beautiful granddaughters, as they keep me young at heart and very busy.
I also like to travel, keep fit with yoga and love to walk coastal paths with my husband.

I have been part of The Manor Care Home since 2012, starting as a kitchen assistant, where I helped serve meals and ensure residents had drinks and snacks. While working in the kitchen, I discovered how much I enjoyed spending time with residents and seeing their engagement in activities. This passion led to an opportunity to join the activities team, where I could focus on what I love most - connecting with residents and supporting their well-being.
I take great joy in spending time with residents, hearing their stories, and discovering the activities they enjoy. My goal is to keep our residents active, engaged, and happy, with fun and laughter always at the heart of The Manor Care Home.

As a Barchester Operational Trainer, I ensure that staff have the level of skill and knowledge required to competently carry out their role so that all residents receive high-quality care, and that there is a high level of impact on the quality of staff behaviour and knowledge over the long term, leading to a continuous improvement in the quality of care for the residents.
As a Trainer, I actively involve my learners, and my continued focus is to ensure all learning and development activities and inductions are run to a consistently high standard across my 6 homes, alongside meeting external requirements. I have just celebrated my 10th year with Barchester Healthcare, and I love my job.
It’s not just about the teaching but the learning that takes place. All our learners on their first day are taught to identify our Barchester values so that they can incorporate them into everything they do. As a trainer, I strive to meet the needs, abilities and aspirations of my learners. I believe it’s about inspiring learners to help them change and develop their personal, social and professional skills to the best of their ability and take responsibility for their own development.
