My parents, in their nineties, do not seem to want to mix, which is proving a bit of a problem. I feel staff are doing their best without much cooperation from my parents. Medical staff, I find very helpful but overall not enough staff in any department.

This is my third annual respite stay while my wife (and carer) takes a holiday with other family members. By using the Barchester Group, I have flexibility on where to stay but The Manor suits me fine. Resources are sometimes stretched but this is true of most - if not all - care homes. I am pleased to see the same personnel year-on-year who make me very welcome.

From initial assessment to admittance, management and staff have been helpful and communicative as well as empathetic. Both nursing staff and carers are always cheerful and chatty and make a difficult situation much more bearable. Would highly recommend.

An amazing care home in such a lovely setting! The care here is outstanding and I would highly recommend to anyone. Staff are lovely and very attentive. Clean and tidy. The resident I am connected to could not be happier with where they are.

Having been some three months at The Manor Care Home, I am very pleased to write in appreciation of everything I have experienced. Individual accommodation is well appointed and maintained. Public areas are attractively furnished and decorated. The highest standards of cleanliness apply throughout. Personal laundering is efficient and of very high quality. Varied and carefully chosen menus are well prepared and presented. Personal choices can usually be met if a menu really does not appeal. All staff consistently show thoughtful care, friendly courtesy and great patience and good humour with residents often suffering serious physical or mental failure. I can think of no occasion when some complaint has been justified. The Manor Care Home is to be very strongly recommended.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience of living at The Manor Care Home. I am delighted to hear how pleased you have been with the environment, the dining experience and the staff. I will certainly be sharing your comments with our team. We hope you have many happy years at The Manor!
Furniture and fittings are like those of a luxury hotel. The staff are caring and friendly. I was taken to the dentist by my carer in my electric wheelchair in the homes fully equipped wheelchair bus. The availability of a cheerful full-time physio is a bonus.

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.

Hello, my name is Ramis, and I am one of the Physiotherapists here at The Manor Care Home.

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.

Hello, my name is Ian and I started working at The Manor in 2012.
I am a gardener and love keeping the grounds beautiful, from planting seasonal flowers to maintaining the lawns and shrubs. Seeing the gardens thrive and bring joy to everyone who lives in the home makes my work rewarding.

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.
