  • Montpellier Manor, Middlesbrough
Located in the village of Stainton, just outside Middlesbrough, Montpellier Manor provides residential, dementia and short-stay care for up to 85 residents in a modern, purpose-built setting. With quiet surroundings and excellent transport links, including a bus stop just outside and a train station five minutes away, the home is well-connected while retaining a peaceful, homely atmosphere.

Each of the home’s en-suite bedrooms is calm and private, and residents are encouraged to personalise their space. Montpellier Manor is arranged over three floors, with a dedicated dementia household offering stunning views from the top floor. Communal lounges, a bistro café, music room, hair salon, and private garden patios help create a space that feels more like a boutique hotel than a traditional care home.

Menus are built around resident feedback, with flexible, freshly cooked meals ranging from cheese scones to Jamaican curries. Drinks trolleys, homemade cakes, and themed days like “Fruity Fridays” and afternoon teas bring a joyful, sociable atmosphere to every mealtime.

Residents enjoy a wide programme of activities—swimming, music, animal visits, fitness classes, and trips to local shops or bingo at Dorman’s Club. Magic the Pony, live musicians, and family newsletters from Famileo keep every day fresh, personal and connected.

At Montpellier Manor, care isn’t just about support, it’s about creating a community where residents thrive. Whether you’re searching for yourself or a loved one, for residential, dementia or short-stay care, the team at Montpellier Manor are here to help.

We are pleased that we chose Montpellier Manor as a care home for my mother. She has been there a year now. We looked at a lot of care homes, Montpellier stands out from the rest. The building is laid out in a good way for the residents. It's bright and beautiful too. What I like about it is there are
plenty of staff and activities and in general a good feel in the place. The staff all work hard and help me to feel okay about leaving my mother there. If I have a problem or a concern I can ask the staff for help. Overall happy with this care home. Well done to everyone.

Reply from Donna Wass, Home Manager at Montpellier Manor

I am so pleased that Mum is happy here and of course, Mum is a very strong character on her unit and always keeps the staff on their toes. Thank you for taking the time to write a review, it is very much appreciated.

I cannot speak more highly of my mum's care home. Not only is the place beautiful, clean and comfortable, the staff are kind, welcoming and thoughtful. From the administrators, carers, activities and housekeeping and maintenance staff you can see how much they know and care for the residents. My mum
is happy and seen. We as a family, enjoy visiting and spending time with her here.

Everyone involved with the running of the home, management, housekeeping, activities, catering and the carers have been lovely, treating my husband with respect and involving me in any decisions that have

My dad has resided at Montepellier Manor for a few months now. We dreaded the disruption caused to him moving at such a late stage in life but I can sincerely say that this feeling has now evaporated totally.
The environment of the home is indeed lovely including the rooms, decor, food and facilities.
However
the biggest factor by a mile is the team who work there - I have had nothing but warm, caring and helpful exchanges with everyone including carers, seniors, the housekeeping team, maintenance, reception, catering, activities, and managers - everyone has been amazing and very responsive to any question or request.

Reply from Donna Wass, Home Manager at Montpellier Manor

Thank you for your kind review, as a team we always try our hardest to ensure we deliver the highest quality of care and support to all our residents and families at Montpellier Manor and it is lovely when this is recognised.

Having visited a dear friend for the first time yesterday with my partner, I was impressed on first impressions. The ambience was conducive to calm and tranquillity. Her room was spacious and all facilities were present. When her tablet needed charging, the receptionist was all too ready to accommodate
my requests. We only stayed an hour, but intend to visit weekly when I can be more constructive if necessary.

Care, empathy and support my dad received at Montpellier was really excellent. This was such a positive experience, compared to other respite places, for both Dad and us his family.
A care home is what it is but it is the people who work there that make the difference for that experience and credit
goes to both management and staff for making it so in all departments.
I'm sure such a good experience has contributed to Dad recovering so quickly. Many thanks to all.

Reply from Donna Wass, Home Manager at Montpellier Manor

Thank you for your excellent review. Dad was a pleasure to look after, we are glad that he is feeling a lot better in himself and we hope to see you both again in the future. I will pass on your lovely comments to the staff team.

My mum only spent two months at Montpellier Manor before she passed away on the 7th of February 2024. In that short time she was cared for by all the staff with so much love, care and compassion. It's an amazing care home and I feel blessed that my mum spent her last two months there. Nothing was ever
too much trouble for all staff, including the management team, and always with a smile.

Reply from Donna Wass, Home Manager at Montpellier Manor

Thank you for your kind review, mum may have only been with us for a short time but she made a big impression on everyone she met here at Montpellier Manor, with her big smile and her love of dancing and singing she was a wonderful lady and is missed by everyone. We would like to thank you for choosing Montpellier and giving us the pleasure of caring for such a wonderful lady.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

Overall, excellent. My dad had the need to go into a home for the first time, and whilst it was a shorter period than we all hoped for, the home itself was super in terms of care, facilities and the human touch. I understand the practicalities of having to organise and have to deal with tricky situations
in a care home, and I think they balanced this well. Quieter in terms of staff on an evening and the weekend, but this is understandable.
I can only appreciate and thank all the staff we came into contact with for helping comfort my dad and ourselves whilst we cared for him.

Dad initially went to Montpellier Manor in September for respite. After three weeks, he ended up becoming permanent and thoroughly enjoyed his next few weeks. He was encouraged to mix and started more walking than he had done for years, encouraged by the carers and staff.
Couldn’t fault the service
he received and grew attached to numerous of the carers.
Sadly, Dad passed away in the home in November, and the staff made it as easy as they possibly could during difficult circumstances.
Once again, thanks all.

Reply from Donna Wass, Home Manager at Montpellier Manor

Thank you for your kind review. Dad was not with us for long, but he made a positive impact on the unit and made good friends with others; he was a lovely man with a good sense of humour and will be sadly missed by all.

My mother-in-law recently moved to Montpellier Manore and has settled in very quickly. The staff are all very welcoming. We were able to make her room homely with her own belongings, and the room is kept to a very clean standard. The floor she is on allows her to move around freely but safely, and she
is really enjoying engaging with the staff and residents. She enjoys the daily activities, and we feel so happy now knowing she is well cared for, safe and warm.

My mum spent over two years in Montpellier Manor Care Home and her care there was second to none. Staff were supportive and encouraging, helping her to maintain a level of independence appropriate to her abilities. The staff were all approachable and supported myself and other family members during
our visits. In addition to assistance with her physical needs, my mum was included in social activities and events and found great comfort in the spiritual support offered within the home. She was encouraged to make her room her own and many thanks to all those who helped with this.
I would recommend the home to anyone looking for somewhere for their loved one. The support staff all deserve a mention as they too were faultless in the support of my mum. The past two years have been difficult but were made much easier by everyone at Montpellier.

My mother-in-law was a resident at Montpellier Manor Care Home for two years prior to her passing in October 2023. During her time there, she was shown care and support of the highest quality. The facilities at the home are five-star with comfortable recreation areas, coffee shop, lovely restaurant
and hairdressing, the list is endless. The rooms, themselves, are also first-class with all modern facilities and spotlessly clean.
More importantly, all of the staff were so attentive and caring, making my mother-in-law’s stay there literally a home from home. We could not believe our luck when we were able to get a room initially and our expectations were exceeded in the two years my mother-in-law was a resident. Our heartfelt thanks go out to all all Montpellier.

Thank you so much for your kind review. your mother-in-law was a much-loved lady and played a vital and vocal role in how things were done on her unit. She is sadly missed on Woodlands by all staff and residents but will be a big miss at our regular meetings as she always had input on anything that was going on.

Mum has been a resident at Montpellier Manor Care Home for nearly four years, during which she has experienced a wide range of the care provided by the home and its staff. I and my siblings are not able to visit as often as we would like because, whilst brought up in Middlesbrough, we all now live a
good distance away. That has made our visits and regular phone contacts all the more important for both Mum and us.
Over the years, we have dealt with most of the care staff on the ground floor and have always found them unfailingly helpful, despite the daily work challenges that they all must face. That experience has made us increasingly appreciative and grateful for the care and attention that all members of the care team have given and continue to give to Mum.
All in all, Montpellier Manor is a splendid place.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.849)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.849) out of 10 for Montpellier Manor 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 41 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 40 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 4.849 for Montpellier Manor is calculated as follows: ( (424 Excellents x 5) + (50 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 483 Ratings = 4.849

  • 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 Montpellier Manor is based on 40 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 85 registered maximum number of service users is 17, which has been reached with 40 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.
