Review from D M (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our Dad was admitted to Bucklow Manor post a hospital admission/5 week stay. Prior to that he lived independently in his own home with ongoing support from my sister and I. We enabled him to remain in his home of 68 years as best we could after Mum died in September 2022.
His deterioration during
the hospital admission was significant and it was clear from the MDT professionals report that he was unable to return home and live independently. It was a rapid and sad change of events for my sister and I and we feared the outcome for Dad.
The transition to Bucklow Manor however has been a positive experience from day one especially given the traumatic and sad demise over such a short period of time for Dad and a huge shift for us all. Dad was welcomed on his arrival by Franklin and we too were made welcome and reassured that Dad would be well cared for. Within a short time of his admission Dad was joining in with an exercise to music session. We thank you all for his care

Thank you so much for your lovely review of Bucklow. We know this can be such a hard transition for everyone but are pleased that the transition was a positive experience for Dad.

The care home has exceeded all of our expectations with the care they are providing for my mother in law.
The home is very well maintained and clean, my mother in law receives great care and the services and entertainment the residents receive is the best I've seen.
I would highly recommended Bucklow
to any family looking for top quality care for their family.

I cannot speak highly enough of Bucklow Manor Care Home and the incredible team who work there. From the moment you walk through the doors, it's clear that this isn't just a place of care - it's a true home built on dedication, compassion, and commitment.
The staff at Bucklow Manor go above and beyond
every single day to ensure residents feel valued, respected, and truly cared for. Their attention to detail and genuine warmth create an atmosphere of comfort and dignity that gives families complete peace of mind.
What stands out most is their commitment to providing person-centred care. Every resident is treated as an individual - their preferences, routines, and interests are understood and celebrated. Whether it's through thoughtful activities, home-cooked meals tailored to residents' tastes, or simply taking time to share a conversation, the team's dedication shines through in everything they do.
The management and care staff work seamlessly together, ensuring high standards.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum was a resident of Bucklow for 15 months after a stay in hospital. She had dementia and unfortunately had a number of falls. Initially she was not happy and wanted to go home (which sadly was not an option). The staff dealt with a difficult situation really well and Mum settled in after a week or
so. Bucklow is a very pleasant environment with the conservatories and the gardens to sit in. Mum's room was light and pleasant and had a nice view of the garden.
She enjoyed the activities and the staff really liked her. They put on a very nice party for her birthday and were always attentive and treated her very well. The staff were always in touch with me and very helpful with Mum's specific needs.

This home is so fantastic, the staff are so caring and understanding. Nothing is too much trouble. The staff go out of their way to make sure the residents are stimulated and entertained with lots of different activities. My husband is always presented in a very clean and hygenic manner. Considering
he is doubly incontinent I have never detected any impleasent odour when I give him a hug. Thanks should be given to the management for such a great service.

Review from Ann B (Wife of Resident) published on 30 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Myself and my husband were so worried about using anywhere for respite care, but, unfortunately we both knew that this was the way forward for us, and, as soon as we were greeted by everyone at Bucklow Manor Care Home we felt at ease. Our first visit was unannounced and we were greeted very warmly and
nothing was too much trouble. Within 30 minutes of being shown around, my husband said "I know I will feel comfortable here", which was quite overwhelming to hear, as we are a very close couple and have lived together 24/7 since retiring in 1998.
My husband has now completed two short respite stays at Bucklow Manor and has been very happy and comfortable both times, we would not entertain anywhere else, as the staff are just wonderful, I really feel as a loving wife that it is the only place other than my husband spending the odd day at home with family members that we feel is right for both of us. We convey our warmest and most loving thanks to all at Bucklow Manor for putting us at ease

My husband was very apprehensive about his first stay in a care home (for respite) and for several days was unsettled. After that, he settled in very well, the staff could not have been kinder and were very vigilant about his needs and the regularity of his medication. They were extremely kind and thoughtful
and made his birthday a really special occasion. I cannot praise them enough.

Mum has been here for over 4 years now. She will be 100 in a few weeks and is looking forward to a party and a glass of fizz.
I am happy that she is being cared for very well. Although her Vasular Dementia means that her needs are complex, Mum receives care that is tailored to her needs. There
is no way that I could offer her the care she required, at home. There are plenty of activities for the residents. The food is great and the atmosphere is warm and friendly.

I have visited this home several times and have always been made welcome by friendly caring staff. Any questions or concerns have always been dealt with satisfactorily. The home has a warm, welcoming feeling and the staff are pleasant and approachable. The residents are well presented, wearing matching
and suitable clothes. This is important because in other homes, I have noticed no care has been given to this factor.

I transferred my mum from another home and I could not have been happier with the care she received at Bucklow Manor Care Home during her illness and subsequent death. The staff were kind and attentive, she was incredibly well looked after. The communication with the home was exceptional - to her family

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.910)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.910) out of 10 for Bucklow Manor Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 49 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 49 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 4.910 for Bucklow Manor Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (528 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 578 Ratings = 4.91
  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 Bucklow Manor Care Home is based on 49 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 56 registered maximum number of service users is 11.2, which has been reached with 49 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.
