  • 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.

The only problem, being so far from the kitchen and well down the corridor means hot drinks and food served in the room are cooler. Juice and water are always provided in the room.

Montpellier Manor is an excellent care home. All staff are welcoming, helpful, caring and considerate to the residents and their relatives. Nothing is too much trouble and they go out of their way to make the residents feel comfortable in their surroundings. They show residents respect, dedication and
loving care. The only adverse point is the telephone system. Carers are busy with their own priorities and are sometimes unable to deal with incoming calls for residents who do not have mobile phones.
However, Montpellier Manor is a beautiful home with excellent care and we would have no hesitation in recommending it to others.
Thank you all, from the bottom of our hearts.
Reply from Kelly Deane, Home Manager at Montpellier Manor
Thank you for your lovely comments. I will be sure to let the team know. It was a pleasure to look after Mum and her wonderful sense of humour and character will be missed greatly in the home.

Dad became a full-time resident after a brief respite stay. Overall Dad is very content and very well looked after. He looks well and interacts with the staff and residents very well. He entered the care home environment due to his health and cognitive ability declining at a faster rate. He is suffering
from vascular dementia and Alzheimers and the staff are very caring and understanding with him. He has fluid retention in both legs and the home has facilitated a reclining chair to elevate his legs combined with daily walks to try and slow the fluid retention down. The family are happy that Dad is very well looked after and this reduces our anxiety knowing that his needs are met by the home. Occasionally a few days pass when he is unshaven but this is easily resolved during a family visit. I would prefer if the home gave me more feedback with regard to doctors' consultations as I feel I am out of the loop at the moment.

My dad has been at Montpellier Manor for the past 3 years. He was very poorly when he arrived after having a head injury. Originally this was a rest for him but he wanted to stay. If he wasn't being cared for by the team of people at the home, and I mean everyone there from the carers and nurses and
the chefs who make him his meals, he wouldn't be with us. They have looked after him through covid and were so careful and stuck to all visitation rules keeping every safe. It's very clean in the home and his medication and meals are on time, as he is very set in his ways. He has just had his 86th Birthday and, despite being a little off-colour recently, he was so happy on his birthday. I will never be able to thank the staff here enough. The staff plan activities and keep the residents in a good state of mind. The jubilee decorations for the late Queen were amazing the time and effort spent on this were just so kind. I hope the hard work of the staff here is rewarded.

My mother has been a resident for one year. During that time she has been very well cared for. All the staff I have come into contact with have been caring and considerate and professional, and my mother is happy and settled. My mother's room is warm, comfortable and clean as are the communal spaces.
The atmosphere at Montpellier Manor is professional, welcoming and calm. I am very happy my mother is in your care.

Mam was in the care home as she was having some work done at home. She was in a basic room with a bed, shower, wardrobe, chair and dresser, with a TV on the wall. We did a pre-assessment the week before with the manager, over the phone and she assured us that Mam would have all she needed, but this
was not the case. We had asked that Mam had 2 baths in the week, but, despite it being in her notes that she had one, she did not. She requested a toasted teacake for breakfast, but they didn’t have any, and they ran out of lemonade, but didn’t bother to go and get more, so we took these items in ourselves. Mam said the nicest people in the home were the domestics who took the time to chat with her for a few minutes. Charging of hearing aids was not done. Mam needed low care but we were charged for high care which they said was correct? The brochure needs updating if this is the case. All in all very disappointing and would not recommend.

The staff are always very, very helpful. I visit my mother on a regular basis. I'm disabled so need help from the staff with PPE. This is never a problem and they are always willing to help. My mother is highly delighted, as we are as a family, with the care and attention she receives. It gives us all
peace of mind that she is in a safe environment and getting cared for.

A very caring and friendly care home. Nothing was ever too much trouble and questions and queries were always answered quickly and efficiently regarding our mam's care. Montpellier staff work hard to keep their residents safe during covid with good policies regarding visitors requiring covid tests before
contact with residents. I was always able to book a slot to see our mam and I had many lovely visits to the care home to see her in the lovely garden area.


Our mam is now back at home after spending a short period of respite at Montpellier. Our mam has been happy during her time at Montpellier and the support given to her from staff and the encouragement given every day to get better to enable her to get back to her own home was a fundamental part of the healing process.


As a family, we, mam's daughters, can’t thank the staff at Montpellier enough for the care given to our mam. Our mam was safe, happy and received good care.


Thank you

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When I first started looking for a care home for my parents I searched throughout the area. As an ex 'mystery shopper' I had some background on what made a great care home.


Montpellier Manor is not just great, it is amazing. The staff are, without exception, such caring, such professionals and as

my parent's daughter, I have become part of a family that is Montpellier.


They loved and supported my parents. We sadly lost my dad recently, and now my mum is end of life. You want to do the best for your relatives and not once have I been unhappy with the care received. This is more than a care home, it's a family home that provides excellence in care.


During the pandemic, we still could visit, albeit through some great design of providing a safe environment for all the residents.


Thank you seems not enough. You have been a significant part of loving my parents, I will never forget you all.

The carers and support staff are lovely with my mum. Giving the care and attention she requires. The rooms ate a good size and Mum is lucky to have a patio which she uses on sunny days. There's always plenty of menu options and will do special orders as and when required. It's only a pity the lockdown

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have nothing but extreme respect and admiration for the staff at Montpellier Manor. The environment is one of such profound love and care.
I live almost three hundred miles from my mum, but have the benefit until recent with Covid-19 of being able to visit every five to six weeks, for a full week
at a time, where I would observe extremely professional staff caring for all the residents in such a loving and compassionate manner.
The residence itself is a so well designed and modern with the feel of a five-star hotel.
I know my mother has felt completely happy with both the care and support she has received, and I would have no reservation in recommending the care home to anyone seeking a suitable residential care home.
Nothing but complete praise for the entire staff!
Further to this, my mother was complete against 'being put into a care home' though having decided that she could not care for herself, she conceded and has been delighted with the care she has received.

I stayed at Montpellier Manor for 1 week for respite care. The home is fabulous, lovely rooms, the staff are caring and I felt like I was on holiday. I did not take part in any activities so I cannot comment on those. I was not entirely happy with the food, but this was my fault as I made the wrong
choices and did not tell anyone that I wanted something else. I have already booked up for September.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.866)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.866) out of 10 for Montpellier Manor 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 41 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.866 for Montpellier Manor is calculated as follows: ( (432 Excellents x 5) + (44 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 484 Ratings = 4.866
  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 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:

    1. 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
    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 85 registered maximum number of service users is 17, which has been reached with 40 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.
