The staff at The Manor House are friendly, caring, professional and efficient. They take a genuine interest in each resident and have made my mum very welcome and helped her settle into the home. It's five star luxury and has the feeling of being on a lovely holiday. The activities are great and the
fact that residents can have a few beauty treatments is wonderful as well.

The whole family was grateful that Mum was so happy in the final few months she spent at The Manor House Knaresborough - in her words, five-star luxury and fabulous food. The wide corridors, lovely rooms and communal spaces inside and out, all clean and well-maintained, created a welcoming atmosphere
for residents and visitors. Friendly and caring staff were aware of her needs, organised health and medical appointments and encouraged her to join in some of the many activities and events on offer. We thought the home was well managed and provided excellent care and dignity right to the end of her life. We would be happy to recommend the care provider to family and friends.

My mother was given a place, followed by a very thorough and friendly assessment. Mum settled very quickly and joined in the Christmas activities. She has made friends and seems happy. She is also falling a lot less often. Her only complaint is there is too much food.

My mum entering a care home was a nervous time for myself and our family. The Manor House in Knaresborough proved to be everything we could have hoped for and more. The staff are caring and hard-working and bring a real level of humanity and dignity to an otherwise difficult scenario. On every visit
regardless of whom I spoke to, the team knew how my mum had been, how much she'd eaten and whether she'd slept. This was not read from a folder this was information they knew immediately from all the interactions they had with her. I am very grateful to the whole team. I would highly recommend The Manor House Knaresborough.

The Manor House Knaresborough is particularly well managed and there is a real sense of teamwork among staff in delivering a high standard of care for residents. I a very confident that my relative's needs are being met with both physical and emotional support, and that any concerns that may arise will
be properly addressed. There is always a friendly and welcoming ambience and a strong commitment to providing a range of stimulating activities for residents to enjoy. In these challenging times for social care, The Manor House is a beacon of compassionate professionalism.

On January 28th I came in for respite care (my husband is already receiving full-time care) I was made very welcome. The only issue I had was the food, certainly not 5-star, very sameish, boring. Not a well-balanced diet. I must say I have had meals there since and they have improved.

Reply from Klara Spatenkova, Manager at The Manor House Knaresborough

Thank you for taking the time to review The Manor House Knaresborough and we are pleased that you rate our overall experience as excellent. Following your respite stay with us in January, we're pleased that you feel that our food has improved, following our discussions at the time. Mealtimes are an important part of each day at The Manor House Knaresborough and we work hard to meet each resident's individual tastes, preferences and nutritional requirements. I'm always happy to discuss food and our care of The Manor House Knaresborough.

My mother moved into the home in mid-April, and great plans were made to enable her to settle in. The food is excellent, and she has found the staff to be kind and thoughtful. As a daughter, my concerns regarding skincare were met - moisturising face and hands. I have been kept informed of my mother's
progress.

Pleased with the standard of the care home, how clean the care home is, and the staff are so friendly and helpful. The only downside is the food could be better, it seems to be a bit up and down, but overall, the home is at a high standard.

Reply from Klara Spatenkova, Home Manager at The Manor House Knaresborough

Mum is relatively new to the care home and had previously lived in her own home, so we were expecting a difficult transition. However, with the expertise and caring approach from the staff, she has settled in much quicker than any of our family thought possible. Not only is she safe and well-nourished,
but her mental health has also improved noticeably. The social interaction and excellent daily activities have made a dramatic impact on her mental wellbeing.

My mum moved into Manor House in May 2020 and celebrated her 90th birthday in that year. She has been kept safe and well-looked after since her arrival. She is always clean and well dressed when I visit and her room is comfortable and well appointed. It is easy to contact care staff and likewise, if
they have any concerns, they contact me immediately. The care staff are kind and communicative.

The carers at The Manor House, Knaresborough went above and beyond the call of duty in caring for both my father and father-in-law. The residents were treated with respect during their life at The Manor for over 30 months, and as their needs changed so did the care. The end of life care was given in
a loving way. During the Covid pandemic, the care home staff made every effort to allow access for visiting, although sometimes this was not possible.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.815)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.815) out of 10 for The Manor House Knaresborough is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 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 4.815 for The Manor House Knaresborough is calculated as follows: ( (190 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 227 Ratings = 4.815

  • 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 The Manor House Knaresborough 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 75 registered maximum number of service users is 15, 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.
