Nodens Manor

Mum has resided in Nodens Manor now for 6 months as she was no longer able to live safely at home due to her dementia. We are truly thankful that we found such an amazing place for her. It is such a welcoming, friendly home, in fact, it is like one big family. We love that we can visit at any time, the staff always greet us with a smile and the care they give to Mum is outstanding! Her room, en-suite and shared areas are always spotless, the home-cooked food always smells lovely and the unlimited supply of freshly made cakes are a real treat! We cannot recommend Nodens highly enough.

My mother initially came to Nodens Manor for a period of respite care. She was greeted by lovely staff who made her feel welcome. Since then she has become a resident and is so happy, relaxed and contented. She now regards this as her home, where she feels safe and secure. As her son I visit on a regular basis and the improvement in her demeanour is brilliant. I have seen the withdrawn, person she was, become a person who loves to be involved in the many and varied activities in the home. The staff are very approachable and always go the extra mile to make sure she is OK and treated with dignity. Mum has commented that 'all you have to do is ask and it happens'! High standards of care are evident throughout the home. The building, a new build, is an example of how all care homes should be and can be regarded as outstanding in all aspects of care.

So pleased we found Nodens Manor for Mum.

It sets the standard for how all care homes should be. Residents are treated with dignity and there is a very high standard in all aspects of care. Nothing is too much trouble and all staff are very friendly and approachable.

My nana has had a very good experience. She says the staff are wonderful, it is always calm, clean and very good. Couldn't wish to stay at a better place.

We often come to visit our friend and each time we have been treated with utmost respect and politeness. Our friend is always at ease and comfortable, there seems to be an overall comfortableness and helpfulness always at hand for the people living here.

We moved Mum up to Nodens Manor from another area after our family moved to the Forest of Dean last spring. Nodens Manor stood out head and shoulders above the other homes that we looked at and we have been delighted with our choice. The staff are fabulous; delightful, caring, competent and such a pleasure to interact with whether by Mum or us, her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The facilities are first class and every aspect of Mum's care and needs are being met in the best possible way. Hard to beat and highly recommended!

From initial contact to the end of my dad's respite stay the whole experience has been amazing. We looked around, filled out paperwork and it was all very calm and professional. The bedrooms (with your own wet room) are beautifully finished, staff are kind, polite and helpful. We never felt rushed, overlooked or disregarded. I've been in an out all times or day and evening and there was always a smile and someone happy to help with even the most minor of queries. My dad was well cared for and treated, his views and preferences were respected throughout his stay. The whole experience was made totally stress free, even though it was short notice. Extremely happy and a huge thank you to everyone there.

When visiting our friend regularly we have been very impressed with the care and attention. The staff on duty show they are respectful and provide opportunities for our friend to join in with which cater to differing personalities and interests. The home has excellent facilities and carers for a variety of disabilities.

From initial contact through to viewings, coffee morning as a familiarisation process and admission for respite care, my father received the friendliest of welcomes from all members of the team. Staff quickly got to know his character and tailored interactions and support, engaging with him in a wonderful and positive manner. The environment is delightful and immaculately maintained, resembling a hotel experience for the residents. Communication with families was faultless and responses were swift by email, phone, social media and newsletters. Staff at all levels knew, cared for and interacted effectively with him. My father enjoyed the food and menu choices and was very comfortable in his well-equipped and spotlessly clean room. This was a very positive first experience of respite care and we felt that the team had created a caring, supportive home/hotel-like environment including fabulous enrichment activities and experiences for the residents.

Thank you to the staff at Nodens Manor Care Home for the dignity shown to our dearly loved Uncle in his final days of life. Your care and dedication towards him and his family were impeccable. We truly feel we made the right decision in placing him into the Nodens Manor Family for his final year of life. His days were filled with music, days out and more importantly, the feeling of being in a fantastic homely environment with staff that truly cared. Thank you.

My grandparents were well looked after, kept clean and well-fed. They always told me how lovely the staff were, and they liked the food. When Nan died, the staff consoled us, took care of us and treated us with dignity. When Grandads condition deteriorated, the staff acted promptly and appropriately by calling 999, so his final days could be made more comfortable. Thank you, Nodens.

My wife spent 2 weeks in respite care at Nodens Manor. Beforehand I was anxious about how she would cope. I need not have worried. All the staff were wonderful throughout her stay. I cannot thank them enough. Knowing she was in such good hands enabled me to get the most out of her stay. A truly wonderful place.

Tastefully decorated, light and spacious building and bedrooms well equipped. Exceptional care provided by very helpful staff. They try to accommodate every need of residents and their visitors. Information is passed on whenever needed. Regular updates on excellent menus, activities and events. No complaints. Well done Nodens Manor. Would recommend.

Mum stayed at Nodens for 2 weeks respite care. She found the staff exceptional with their care, friendliness and kindness. The home was beautifully laid out, everything was very comfortable and to a high standard.

Thank you Nodens Manor.

My father moved to Nodens in August 2023 and with the help of all the staff he settled in very well. It is so reassuring that my father has moved into a lovely, caring and most importantly safe place. The staff are always very friendly and helpful.

My mother-in-law initially didn’t want to stay for a ten night respite care, when we arrived to pick her up she didn’t want to leave, absolutely fantastic care, wonderful staff and in impeccable surroundings, many thanks. We won’t hesitate to utilise your care again. Cheers.

Wow what can I say. Staff friendly and helpful. They were fantastic for what I have seen with all residents. Residents all looked well cared for, and very clean and groomed, which is great. Residents looked comfortable in their surroundings. The home seems to have everything that one would need or want. Very safe for residents and extremely clean and modern.

The staff is warm and caring, the facility is absolutely beautiful and my auntie is very well looked after. I am so impressed. It felt like a home and not a sterile hospital. The quality of the food is very high and there are many selections of freshly baked cakes. There are well designed cosy conversation nooks and gathering spaces.
