Over all time Forest Manor Nursing Home has 55 reviews.
My mother spent the last 7 weeks of her life in Forest manor Nursing Home. Her care was excellent, she was always treated with care and dignity, treated like a member of the family. All staff were attentive and patient, very supportive during Mum's final days. The manager was caring and supportive, nothing was too much trouble. The home is spotlessly clean, no 'noxious aromas', and all residents are happy, clean and well dressed. A credit to the manager and 'family' of staff.
We as a family have no worries about care home. Very friendly and obliging staff. Mum always clean and they match clothes. The meals look lovely. The staff do her nails and hair. There is plenty of staff on so they have time to sit with the residents. I would definitely recommend the home to anyone. The rooms are lovely and clean.
All staff are very caring and work so hard to ensure the residents are well cared for and treated with dignity and respect. The staff know my mother better than I do now. Cannot believe the care she gets.
My brother-in-law is in this home, they take care of him in every way that is possible. We are very happy with the friendliness and warmth that we receive when we visit. All staff are very polite and caring and cannot do enough for us. The home smells lovely and fresh.
Very pleased with the care my uncle received on end of life from the staff at all times. Very respectful, friendly and the home was a pleasure to visit. Very well looked after by kind, considerate staff.
My sister has settled really well. The staff always make us all welcome and are very friendly. The nurses always keep us updated with all medical needs and my sister is always very clean and also is very tidy.
The care my father receives is outstanding and I have no complaints at all. Very grateful to everyone that works here.
Forest Manor has a lovely feel to it.
I feel Dad is being cared for in a loving and respectful manner. We as a family are all very grateful for the care |Dad is receiving and would recommend the home to anyone.
The home she was in previously was snot anywhere near as good in their day to day care for her.
I can now leave her knowing that she is in safe and competent hands.
I would recommend this nursing home to anybody because I found it very nice and the staff and management were very nice. They spoke to you pleasantly and they would do anything for you.
All the staff are so welcoming and friendly right from day one they will do anything for my cousin and look after her so well. It's the best move I had made so much different from her last home. Thank you.
He has come on in leaps and bounds especially since he has had his own chair and can get out of his room more.
I find this care home wonderful in all departments. My wife is cared for with love and kindness.
My auntie is very bubbly since moving into Forest Manor. She loves the garden and watching the birds.
My mother is very well looked after in Forest Manor. She is provided with excellent care by all staff who I find extremely loving and caring. Although mum has dementia, I know that she is very happy and settled.
My mum has been a resident since Feb 2018. My mum has a very poor diet and I can't thank the staff enough for all the encouragement they give to her, always leaving out finger food and checks on her all the time.
My Father has been in Forest Manor care home for a little over a week and the care he has received has been so much more than we thought it would be. We were extremely apprehensive but both staff and management have surpassed our expectations. Forest Manor has been the best choice for my Father.
This care home is fantastic, very welcoming and very friendly. Forest Manor Nursing Home is very professional and will always keep you informed with regards to any changes or how, overall, things have been. Just completely amazing!!
My brother has been a resident of Forest Manor for a number of years and is included as part of the family. We have a day out together every week which we enjoy, however, I have no reservations in leaving my brother in the warm, friendly and capable hands of all the staff employed. Thank you for the opportunity for me to express my thanks in this review, I cannot praise them enough.
