I would more than highly recommend the Queens Manor.
My grandmother is currently staying at the Queens Manor for rehabilitation after a recent hip operation.
With the current global situation, I was extremely stressed and worried about where my grandmother would go. Speaking with the lovely Customer
Relations Manager, she has been more than a great help and has really gone the extra mile to help get my gran the right care.
Another member of staff has gone above and beyond making sure my Grandma has had lots of programmes to watch on the royals, making her very happy. She calls him her “boyfriend”.
All staff have been great on keeping me updated and accommodating my grandma's interests and needs.

Reply from Alison East, Customer Relationship Manager at Barchester Queens Manor Care Home

Thank you so much for your lovely review, we really appreciate your feedback. We’re all so fond of your Grandmother and she's struck up warm friendships with many of our residents and staff members. It’s been a pleasure getting to know her and finding out her interests and we’ve even learned a thing or two about the Royals! Thank you for deciding on Queens Manor for her care.

I have been a resident of Queens Manor for six months - my wife is also a resident here - she arrived 3 weeks before me. The day after I arrived we celebrated our 70th wedding anniversary and the home laid on a celebratory lunch with all the trimmings. I cannot speak too highly of the care and attention
we have received here. The carers are in a class of their own - they have ensured that whatever the time of night or day there is always a quick response to a summons. My wife who is partially disabled also has dementia, her carers cope with this admirably. Apart from the caring staff there are also specialist staff who organise activities - these are well-conducted and include visits outside the home (prior to the present lockdown)

Reply from Alison East, Customer Relationship Manager at Barchester Queens Manor Care Home

We all feel so very lucky that you and your lovely wife chose Queens Manor and we appreciate your valuable feedback. We will always ensure that you feel happy with the care provided to you both here in your home.

Remembering this review is being given at a time of lockdown. Food good but limited similarly with activities invited by lifestyle team. The staff here are incredibly sensitive to the residents requirements. I am very moved by their attitude and concern for those in their care. The cleanliness must
be mentioned, I have visited many care homes in my life, some not quite fresh, maybe because of conditions. Q M staff are aware of this problem and constantly clean all areas.

My mum is a resident here and I cannot commend the staff and management enough. Staff have been doing their utmost to keep the residents' spirits up, and to keep them safe. Staff and management have been brilliant at keeping us informed of the residents' wellbeing and activities. I cannot praise them

I have just been in Queens Manor for the last fortnight and I have been most I'm pressed with its high standard of care at this home. Everything in this home has been very well thought of and the furnishings were first class. Only slight grumble, not enough wardrobe space! Food and chef outstanding.

Our mother came to Queens Manor in October for respite care, followed three weeks later by our father, also for respite. Three months later they are now permanent residents. This was all very sudden for our family and the staff at Queens Manor have been extremely helpful to my parents and us to adjust
to a new way of living.
The manager is excellent and this is reflected in her staff. They are warm and welcoming and make every effort to get to know our parents as individuals and treat them as such. It is very reassuring for us as a family and gives us peace of mind knowing they are being cared for in the manner they are. The lifestyle enrichment team think of so many different activities for them and clearly love their job.
Any issues or concerns we have are dealt with quickly and staff are always willing to chat over anything with us.
Thank you all very much.

The care home is very comfortable and beautifully arranged. The facilities the care home provides are either onsite or visits are arranged with a minibus for transport. The staff, which includes everyone, the cleaners, the care staff, the management of the home, are all helpful and cheerful and make

My mother was at Queens Manor for 3 week's respite stay. She has never stayed in a care home before, but she thoroughly enjoyed her 'holiday!'. The home is like a 5-star hotel but with 24/7 care facilities. It is beautifully decorated and clean with a nice and safe garden for my mum to wander about
in. The best thing about the home is the staff, they are kind, respectful, friendly and cheerful, that really made the stay more enjoyable for my mother.

My Dad received a very warm welcome from all the staff when he arrived at Queens Manor directly from hospital. He settled in quickly and it was so thoughtful of the team to give him the opportunity to go to the Scottish Air Show at East Fortune on only his second day in residence. Dad is really enjoying
getting involved in the lifestyle programme, which I think is giving him the stimulation that he has been missing. Everyone at Queens Manor is dedicated and caring towards both patients and their families - it is very much a home from home. Residents are most certainly 'Celebrating Life', so thank you so much.

My friend came for respite for the first time. My husband and I came up from South Scotland to make sure she had settled in. No worries! Immediately we felt the warmth of the place and the staff proved thoughtful and kind - without appearing 'gushy'. They, apparently, gelled quickly with my friend as
she appeared relaxed and responsive. We were cared for all the time we were there. My friend is back in July. We look forward to visiting again!

Each staff member showed him great care and attention during his 3-week stay. The whole place is so peaceful and decorated beautifully so residents can feel like they are in a hotel. Food was very nice and presented beautifully. Day trips
were varied and enough day activities should residents wish to participate, we particularly enjoyed the therapet visits. More handrails in the bathroom would help.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.931)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.931) out of 10 for Barchester Queens Manor Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.931 for Barchester Queens Manor Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (246 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 260 Ratings = 4.931

  • 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 Barchester Queens Manor Care Home is based on 22 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 22 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.

My role is to ensure that all of the residents are receiving the care and service that they deserve – this ranges from personal care to lifestyle choices. Having worked in care settings for over 17 years, I bring with me a wealth of knowledge to ensure that expectations are not only met, but exceeded.


One of my favourite parts of working at Queens Manor is definitely talking to the residents and hearing about their life stories – It is truly amazing to hear everyone’s backgrounds and different spiritual, cultural and professional travels.


I always say choose a job you love & you will never work a day in your life, and this very much remains true for my role at Queens Manor.

When asked what my favourite part of my job is, I really struggled to think of just one thing. If I had to choose, I would say building relationships with the residents and my colleagues.
