Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum has been at Appleton Manor since September 2019, and I have to say that the first time I walked through the door I felt welcomed and comfortable. After viewing many nursing homes, I just knew that this was the one for my mum. The building is clean, comfortable and bright, with lovely gardens. The
staff are warm and friendly and very approachable. The communication between families and staff is so open, we’re updated on all GP visits, medication changes and everything else that is important to mum and us as a family. During the ‘lockdown’ it’s obviously been difficult not being able to go in and see mum, but we have regular ‘face time’ chats and keep up to date with everything. Even though mum is on a very restricted diet, I see the meals being given to other residents, and they look really good! We just know that she’s receiving the best possible care.

I have consistently been impressed by the care my father receives at Appleton Manor – all the more so at this challenging time. The Team have gone ‘beyond the call of duty’ to ensure that the residents are cared for and protected from Covid-19. Moreover, at a time when family cannot visit they are making
strong efforts to maintain contact with us and provide updates. The wonderful cards, photos and thumbprint momentos which have been sent to family members have been touching. My dad is blind and virtually deaf but the staff have been able to play voice recordings to him, recordings I’ve sent to him which is a welcome stand of contact.
Full marks Appleton!
The absence of Covid-19 from the floor on which my dad is resident throughout the Pandemic (at least up to the point I'm submitting this review) speaks volumes!

I would just like to say a really big thank you to all and I mean ALL of the staff who are looking after my father-in-law. I cannot say how much I appreciate how you are tirelessly looking after him, along with all of the other residents. Every time I have been there, you have always been polite and
professional in everything you do. How you manage this during these really troubling times is beyond me, but my respect and thanks go out to you all. Keep up the fantastic work you are ALL doing, keep safe and keep everyone you are looking after safe as well.
God Bless.

We as a family cannot thank all the staff for the hard work they are all doing since the outbreak of Coronavirus.
This is so hard not only for us but, especially for the residents who may not quite understand what’s going on and why aren’t the family coming to see us. The staff straight away set up
video chats so we can see/speak to our loved one, even sending us pictures to show us their ok - what’s rewarding is when they send pictures of them smiling away; it’s so heartwarming.
All the staff have gone above and beyond to keep us in contact, letting us know what’s happening also within the care home.
We thank them from the bottom of our hearts. We will certainly be clapping for them every Thursday evening.

I have recently placed mum into the care of Appleton Manor Care Home. Having looked at several alternatives I was particularly impressed by the care there with all staff maintaining a high level of contact with the residents who were treated with dignity,
Strong leadership from management and seniors
provide me with the confidence that mum will be well cared for. I am also impressed by the good level of feedback on a day to day issues.

All the staff treat the residents like their own. When you walk in you are met with smiles from all the workers from the managers to the cleaners! They have a depth of knowledge about my mum and a caring, loving approach to her care. I feel as though they are part of my family. After every visit I walk
away knowing she will be treated with dignity and respect moreover love.

Review from Denise W (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 November 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We had to place our mum into care in January 2017 and chose Appleton Manor as they have a secure Dementia Unit on the 1st floor. We were very impressed on the tour we had and knew that our mum would be safe, secure and well cared for. There were a few issues in the first 12 months as the manager left
followed by several senior members of the care team. They now have a very professional Manager in place and a great team of care staff who all appear to enjoy their roles within the home. The Activities Co-ordinator does an amazing job at keeping the residents entertained with a variety of entertainments within the home and with trips out in their minibus (weather permitting). There is a good variety of food each week which is nutritious, well cooked and most types of diet can be catered for. The whole place is spotlessly clean, well furnished, modern and comfortable. I'm happy that we chose Appleton Manor for my mum as she appears happy and is definitely well cared for. Well done Appleton Manor.

My mum has been a resident on the Dementia first floor at Appleton Manor for nearly two years. I felt I needed to express my sincere thanks to all the staff and management team for their genuine support and kindness to my mum. There is not one member of staff that I could not praise. Everyone is kind
caring and will go the extra mile to support all the elderly living there.
There are always activities every day and everyone gets involved. The dining room is always dressed on special occasions, i.e. this month is Halloween. The dining room looks great. The activities officer does so well. Mum has been on many trips with her which I never thought my mum would have to chance to do again.
All staff are approachable and friendly. I love going to see Mum as I know she is always cared for and loved.
I would like to thank you all for all your support. You are my extended family.

Since my mother has been at the home for 4 months now, every week she seems to be getting better, with her dementia. I put this down to the excellent carers, staff and management keeping Mum stimulated and well cared for, and seeing to all her needs. A big thank you.

My Gran was admitted to the care home in July which made me feel very sad, but in the short time she has been a resident I can see the improvement in her physical health. When I visit I am always made to feel welcome by the staff and I am always appreciative of the professionalism shown by all the staff,
I love the way that every single member of staff knows my Gran's name and they always make a fuss of her.


Thank you xx

Recently my father in law and mother in law were taken into Appleton Manor. They were treated with compassion and respect for the short time my father in law lived there. My mother in law is still a resident and the care she is receiving is excellent. As a family, we are always made to feel welcome
and we know that when we leave that my mother in law is going to be well looked after.

On the whole mum is cared for well, however, I would like her up and dressed before lunch and not 3-4pm in the afternoon as has frequently happened.
She is put in bed at 6pm so the earlier she is up the better. Other than that she is cared for to a good standard.
Reply from Claire Hurworth, Care Line Manager at Appleton Manor Care Home

Thank you for your review, we value all feedback as this helps us to improve our service where required. We aim to support our Residents to rise and retire at times suitable to their preferences. I have reviewed your Mother’s care plan and have put in place a plan to assist her with rising when she is ready in the morning rather than in the afternoon. We continue to monitor our Residents dependency levels monthly to ensure we are staffing appropriately to meet the needs of our Residents in our home. This information has been cascaded to the whole team to ensure your Mother is supported with her preferences and to support an enjoyable visit for you as a visitor to the home.

My partner was a resident for just over 5 weeks and was very well cared for. Nothing was too much. She was kept well fed, medically looked after and following such good care was able to overcome her disability and was able to return home.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.820)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.820) out of 10 for Appleton Manor Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.820 for Appleton Manor Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (216 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 261 Ratings = 4.82
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Appleton Manor Care Home is based on 22 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 59 registered maximum number of service users is 11.8, which has been reached with 22 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
