My father in law received wonderful care whilst he was at Forest Manor, unfortunately, he has just passed away.
All staff are friendly, caring and compassionate. The home never has any unpleasant odours. I would like to take this opportunity to recommend Forest Manor to anyone wanting brilliant care
in a nursing home.

The care that my mother is given is excellent, the staff in all departments are excellent. The care staff deliver wonderful care and take time to speak to families making us aware if any problems arise.


My mum remains well due to the nursing team reacting to any symptoms quickly.


My family all

recommend Forest Manor to all friends that are looking for a nursing home.

As my Dad has been seriously ill over the last few months and after returning from hospital, the staff at Forest Manor have been fantastic and supportive with Dad and family. The staff have made fantastic efforts to get Dad to eat and drink and have enabled Dad to get on the road to recovery.

Dad is well looked after at Forest Manor Nursing Home. Excellent choice of food and the Sunday roast is great. Dad has been a smoker for many years and he is able to still enjoy this as there is a smoking area which makes him happy.

My grandmother is a resident at Forest Manor Nursing Home and when I visit there is always plenty of staff to attend to my grandmother.
My grandmother has been very ill this year but thanks to Forest Manor staff she was encouraged with drink and diet and no longer suffers from continuous water infections
they pick up on things early.

My Mother came into Forest Manor, following a bad experience at another nursing home. I came to visit this nursing home manager and was immediately impressed and reassured my Mother would be looked after excellently well and this was to be the case. My Mother is very happy here (she is very hard to
please!) she enjoys the company and her daily newspapers, delivered to her, and always having her hair done weekly.

Review from J J (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 November 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I had to make a life-changing decision to choose a permanent home for my Mum. The decision was a heavy burden as Mum was unable to give me input. When I chose Forest Manor I felt it shone out particularly with the staff. The Manager and a nurse assessed Mum and they really impressed Mum. A weight was
lifted. When Mum was eventually transferred the staff were outstanding in friendliness and very warm. They put Mum at ease immediately. This is not a job to us, it is a life changing moment and I cannot thank the staff enough for their genuine care. It is extremely well managed and Mom is settling in nicely. She said, "you have chosen well".

My friend was close to death I was very worried. Thanks to the love the staff gave him he is back to his "old ways" In biblical terms, it is a miracle.
Myself and his family will always be in your debt.

During the six weeks my mother has been at Forest Manor I have found the care she has received to be excellent. Both staff and management have been friendly and caring. Nothing too much trouble for them. The home was recommended to us and will also be recommended by us to others.

Current Review Score: 7.5 (7.488)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.5 (7.488) out of 10 for Forest Manor Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.3 out of 5 from 2 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.167 for Forest Manor Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (11 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.167
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 3.321 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Forest Manor Nursing Home is based on 2 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 = 3.125
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 51 registered maximum number of service users is 10.2. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.2 = 0.196
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
