The Manor House Knaresborough

My mother-in-law went in to the Manor House at the beginning of August due to a medical procedure and needed daily health care. The staff have been amazing, tending to her medical condition and ongoing hospital appointments which without I am sure her wounds would not have healed. The staff are so attentive and always there to chat to and nothing is too much trouble to them. What an amazing team. I cannot thank them enough and would highly recommend the Manor House for its excellent care. My mother-in-law is now becoming a resident as it is the safest place for her and the family have peace of mind that she is being well looked after. Her health has improved and she has also put on weight and looks much better than before she went to the Manor House. Thank you.

I would recommend The Manor to friends. Also I have found that my visitors have been made very welcome.

Whenever I visit I can see how well cared for Mam is at the Manor House Knaresborough care home. She is so much healthier than she was in her own home. The staff look after her so well there that we are pleased she is there.

My mother has received many visitors over the last few weeks including her local vicar, friends from the village, and other family members and relatives, and everyone has commented to me about what a beautiful home The Manor House is. I cannot thank you enough about how comforting it is for me, having just lost my father, and having to put mum into a care home, knowing she is safe in a beautiful home.

My experience at The Manor House was most enjoyable the whole package. The staff, the care, the residents. I could not fault it + I think that the excellent ticked boxes says it all. Thank you.

Two weeks resbite care for poorly mother in law, who needed rest. A room was found quickly and the team looked after her very well. She didn't use any of the facilities although she was encouraged to. The team were very helpful to the family at all times. We would definitely recommend The Manor.

I can't thank the staff enough for making my mum's stay as comfortable and enjoyable as it has been. Thank you.

My friend / ex-neighbour has been in the care home for around 6 months. There has just been a big makeover and I must say it looks great. I really enjoy visiting as the staff are very welcoming. I sometimes go along when the singers are on as they are always of a high standard. Although I'm sad she is no longer my neighbour, I am pleased she's being looked after well at The Manor. Thank you all.

The Manor House Knaresborough was highly recommended by a gentleman who had stayed here for sometime, and I have found exactly the same care and help that he had experienced.

I can't thank the staff enough at the Manor Knaresborough for looking after my mum initially and then my dad. We were lucky that there was a room available for my mum who has dementia for respite whilst my dad was suddenly taken into hospital with Pneumonia. And then even more lucky that another room was available for my dad to be reunited with my mum for a week of recovery for himself. I know for a fact that they both enjoyed their stay due to the fabulous staff and their kind and professional nature.

I came into the Manor House on Monday February 17th 2025 for 2 weeks respite (after having visited other homes) I was made very welcome from day 1 as I found the people all very friendly and welcoming and making me feel very much at home. I gradually joined the various activities being held in the home or out in the community. Went to the theatre and for a trip on a canal boat. Once they realised I had been teacher they persuaded me to read a book on our Teddy Bears picnic day's. Its 30 years since I retired!! I am now a permanent resident here.

On a day to day basis, the facilities, entertainment and food are all great. The staff are always very professional, caring and accommodating while also being happy to chat to or assist residents or visitors whenever the need arises. I have yet to find anyone working there who does not appear to have been trained to a very high level, literally all the staff are great to interact with.

Mum made Manor House her home from July 2018. Or should I say, the wonderful staff at MH made it Mum's home from the off. As a family we are indebted to all the staff at MH that have loved and cared for Mum. She was on the Chesters Dementia floor, but it was so noticeable when I took mum out for a walk that most of the staff we saw on the ground floor on the way out would stop and say 'hello'. Lots of activities to keep residents stimulated. Kept clean and well maintained by the team and some very well fed and watered residents. Thank you all for everything you did for mum.

The staff engage with family members well to ensure that their loved ones have the best experience in what has become their new home.

From initial contact to final goodbyes the standard of care and support from The Manor House team could not be improved upon. All staff take time to interact with residents, whether they have direct responsibility for them or not. They took time to understand dad's personality and cherished his cheeky smile. The professional and caring support and the flexibility of staff in the face of changing circumstances have been a huge blessing to myself, my sister and my mum. Thank you.

A wonderful facility- such a comfort to know that Mum is being so well cared for. The staff are always thoughtful and calm and pleasant to be around when I visit. The activities are top notch as is the food and decor.

My sister has now been resident with dementia for approximately 18 months, the staff have been caring and sympathetic during this period and the family are very happy with the selection made and would certainly recommend to anyone who has to make a choice.

I have been here for about four weeks, during that time I have always been treated as an independent person. Due to increasing immobility I now need much more personal care, and the staff are always deferential and caring in their attitude. Although it is a big adjustment from being in my own home - I constantly feel at ease knowing there is always someone to call if needed and that has lessened my feelings of apprehension at being alone, especially during the night. I hope I will continue to be happy here.

Really pleased we chose The Manor House for our mother. She has settled in really quickly and feels safe and secure here. She is loving all the activities and takes part in many of them.

Pleasant, helpful staff who go out of their way to make stay a good experience. Comfortable accommodation with modern, clean facilities. Common areas kept clean and tidy with plenty of books and board games on offer. Slept well on comfortable beds with no disturbances during night hours. Felt safe and looked after.
