We, as a family, are very happy with the care given to my father. He is treated with respect. Ensured he is cleaned and kept well as can be.

This care home is truly exceptional. There are no negatives whatsoever.
From management to the Priest, carers, nurses, head chef, chef and cleaners are just amazing. This care home is at a very high standard. Just like a 5 star hotel.

This care home is one of the best homes I have come across. It is just like a second home. Staff make residents feel just like a big family looking after elderly people. My mum seems to be looked after very well in all respects and given attention to all her needs.

Since my mother was admitted to Karuna Manor two months ago, we have noticed a massive improvement in her. She has changed a lot for the better - her memory has improved, she has started reading religious books and has begun to learn the English alphabet. The staff - from reception to carers and catering
staff overall, very caring.
The activities and stimulation have helped.

The greatest compliment I can pay this place is the fact that I am completely happy with my grandfather being a resident here. He is happy, so I am happy.


He feels, and is, a valued member of the Karuna Manor community.

So happy with the service of care provided. My Mum came here not saying or communicating much, however, she is so much aware now, to the extent of reading even!


She has not read in over five years, but within a month of being at Karuna Manor, she's so much more alert and active.


It shows she must

be receiving a high standard of care and attention. All members of staff are fantastic and so caring. I can relax and not worry about Mum. She is in good hands.

Overall, the experience has been very good. Most staff from reception, admin to nurses are welcoming and caring, especially since the appointment of the current management staff as the situation was unstable with the transition from previous management. The staff are responsive and accommodating to
most resident/family needs. There was a delay in involving NHS to assess my father-in-law after an operation to remove a stage 3 bowel tumour to help us pay for his care needs (January but nurse called in August). GP needs to be replaced as non-communicative and insensitive to needs).

All the staff at the home are very friendly and the atmosphere is very much "homely" and the staff make the resident feel like a family. There is always something "happening" - a birthday, a baby shower, to celebrate. The activities are varied, from bhajan, yoga, cooking and so on. The Mandir is the
highlight and the bhajan and kirtans are very calming and loved by our parents.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.996)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.996) out of 10 for Karuna Manor is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.996 for Karuna Manor is calculated as follows: ( (227 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 228 Ratings = 4.996

  • b) 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 Karuna Manor is based on 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
