After a very serious stroke 2 and a half years ago, my husband was diagnosed as needing 24 hour nursing care. The managers at the Manor Gate Care Home, Bishops Hall were extremely kind and helpful when my daughter and I visited her to ask for a room for him. He lived there until January this year when he sadly passed away. While there he considered it as his home. His room was spacious, all of the staff there were very kind, friendly and helpful to all the residents and cheerful. They were most considerate to myself and our two daughters. He loved the meals, as did we all, and thought everything tasted homemade. The Manor was always warm and cozy. All the staff were extremely cheerful, friendly and helpful. He was always clean and tidy. We would recommend this home to anyone, and often do.
Excellent food and helpers and nurses.

The provision of daily activities is excellent and especially, for someone like me with and interest in music and arts and crafts. I am blessed by children (grown up, over 40 years) living nearby.

We cannot thank the caring staff enough for taking great care of our mum. Not only do they provide care for the residents but provide care and support for the family which has been greatly appreciated. Thank you.

From the first time I entered Barchester The Manor Care Home to look around, I was struck by the warmth and friendliness of the staff - from the cleaners upwards. Even when they were obviously busy, the staff still made the time to chat with the residents, their families and visitors. Nothing is too much - super attitude. Now that both Mum and Dad have been in full-time residence there for a few months, nothing has changed - if anything, it's even better, as the staff now know their characters and regularly bring out their naughty sides! Mum and Dad have got to know and like most of the ground floor staff - it's a lovely, welcoming community that has been able to deal with my parents differing physical and mental needs. They always feared being separated and this is what stopped them from going into a residential facility months ago! My brother and I can now relax, for the first time in months, knowing that they are safe, happy and well cared for. Thank you to all of the staff.

Thank you, everyone.
It was our privilege to care for your Dad in his last few days. On behalf of everyone at The Manor, thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review.
I came into Barchester The Manor Care Home for a weeks respite after helping to care for my husband for 18 months after a stroke. Coming into The Manor meant I was looked after but could still visit my husband every day. The care and experience I had was excellent. I had dinner, bed and breakfast

Many thanks for your positive feedback which we will convey to the team, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay, "holiday", with us, yet at the same time still having the opportunity to spend time with your husband. We hope that you will join us for another "mini break" soon.

My mum moved to Barchester The Manor Care Home in August of this year. From the moment she arrived, she received outstanding care and was treated with kindness and respect by all the staff who could not do enough for her. They did everything to make her last weeks happy and contented, just as if she had still been in her own home. The Manor is special and I cannot recommend it highly enough to anyone considering care for their loved one.
Our team is dedicated in providing outstanding, individualised care, so we are so grateful to hear that this was your mum's experience and will ensure we share this feedback with our wonderful team.

My aunt moved into The Manor in March of this year. Sadly, she was only there for about three months before she died, but in this time received outstanding care in every way. All staff were kind and considerate, ensuring that she settled into her new home well. In addition to excellent nursing care all the staff carried out their roles to a high standard. They gave her time, which is so very important. Staff tailored some activities to my aunt's interests, something she appreicated. The management team developed a good relationship with myself and family members, kept us informed, listed and gave sound advice.
On behalf of everyone at The Manor thank you so much for your lovely review, especially at this most difficult time - it was a privilege to care for your aunt and we will ensure that your positive feedback is communicated to the wider team.
My husband spent two and a half years here and was very well looked after by the very caring carers and nursing staff. Occasionally the night nurses (usually agency) were not so caring.
My husband spent two and a half years here and was very well looked after by the very caring carers and nursing staff. Occasionally the night nurses (usually agency) were not so caring.
Thank you for your feedback - We aim to have our home fully staffed by our own team and I was sorry to hear that on the few occasions we had agency night nurses that they were not as caring as expected. I will look into this as I want to ensure that we always deliver the highest quality of care to all our residents day and night.

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.

Throughout my nursing career, I have had the privilege of caring for people living with dementia, which has been both rewarding and inspiring. I joined The Manor Care Home team in 2019 and enjoy leading a dedicated team of staff who are committed to providing compassionate, person-centred care.
Our home has excellent systems in place that support the well-being and quality of life of our residents, and I am passionate about ensuring every individual feels valued, respected, and cared for.

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.
