Review from Jean L (Friend of Resident) published on 24 June 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My friend suffers from progressive vascular dementia and was placed at Bucklow Manor after a long spell of being lovingly cared for at home solely by her husband. Her needs became more than he could manage and her move into 24/7 care was regrettably inevitable. She settled in surprisingly quickly and
because of the attention and care of the staff I saw a noticeable improvement in her mobility and interactions. As a result of the general activity, and being amongst many more people, she has been brought back from a general malaise. She had started to need a wheelchair at home and I was delighted to see her walking independently again, albeit at a steady pace but without any aid. On my visit, and accompanied by her husband, she could hold their dog's lead and still walk without assistance. I was very impressed with the staff and the attention they give to the residents' care. The common rooms were clean, fresh and airy and the entrance was welcoming and with a small waiting area.

After taking care of my husband for several years I felt unable to manage any longer. He was taken into respite care at Bucklow Manor Care Home. He has now been taken into full time care and has settled in well. The process went very smoothly with input from social services. It was agreed that the time
was right. Fortunately there was a room available for him. This took a lot of pressure off me. I have found management and staff very helpful and respectful. It is warm and friendly.

Im so grateful that I found Bucklow Manor to care for my friend. Their patience, care & understanding they show her is exceptional. Also the support I recieve as a visitor and friend give me the comfort that Im included in her life. Im always made welcome & know no issue, question is too small for them
to deal with. Having a resident family member at Bucklow Manor means our family & friends circle has grown & we all have eachothers backs & support.

My father in law went into Bucklow Manor for respite. From the moment we arrived the staff were welcoming friendly & proffesional. Nothing seems to much bother. The support given to service users is excellent & always treated with dignity. It is kept very clean, food looks lovely, and the activities
are amazing. Well done everyone for all you hard work. My father is hopefully staying permanantly!

When my husband had a downturn episode with his health I was immediately contacted.
The necessary medical professionals attended so quickly.
A new care plan was made and put into immediate effect.
I have always been happy with the care my husband has received and it's 21 months since he has been
at Bucklow Manor and the standard of care and communication is beyond my expectations.
The staff are angels and on the visits I get upset they care for me too.
I'm beyond thankful and I continue to have peace of mind that he is in the best of hands.
Reply from Donna Booth, Registered Manager at Bucklow Manor Care HomeThank you so much for your kind words. It is a pleasure and a honour to care for your husband, and have you part of the Bucklow family.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From my initial visit as I researched homes for my wife with dementia, I was impressed by the sense of family between residents and staff. I left that visit already knowing that my wife would be genuinely cared for.
I subsequently moved my wife in on 4th Nov and almost immediately knew it was the
right decision as I visited and got to know how the residents were treated with respect and humour. My wife is clearly happy and content.

My sister in law has been a resident for 14 months due to her dementia. The staff and carers are all excellent and we are always greeted with a warm hello and smile. My sister in law always appears clean, nicely dressed hair, nails, teeth cleaned. She tells me she is happy and enjoys spending time with
her new friends in the lounge, she enjoys the activities and the trips out! The well maintained garden provides beautiful outdoor space where residents can take leisurely strolls and simply relax.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.936)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.936) 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 46 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 46 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 4.936 for Bucklow Manor Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (509 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 543 Ratings = 4.936
  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 46 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 46 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.
