Horsforth Manor Care Home

My mum went to Horsforth Manor on 1 July, initially for respite, with a view to staying permanently if she was happy. Within just a few days she said that this was where she wanted to live. She has a beautiful room on the ground floor with a door out into the garden. The staff have been absolutely wonderful and very quickly they all knew her name. Nothing is too much trouble. There are plenty of activities and outings for her to get involved with, if she wishes. The care is second to none and it's such a relief to know she is happy and safe. The recommendation came from a friend whose mother has been a resident for some time and so I half knew in advance that this would be the right place for her.

The management, admin and receptionists kept it all going, are brilliantly approachable.

My mother in law moved into Horsforth Manor in October 2023 having been diagnosed with dementia. She was shown so much care, kindness and respect from all the staff in the home throughout her stay. During her last few weeks she was looked after with compassion and dignity, and staff went out of their way to ensure we were offered an outstanding level of support. We are so grateful we found Horsforth Manor and could not have asked for anything better.

Excellent care for my mum and all residents can't praise them enough, lots of activities, mum loves it here.

Horsforth Manor is like stepping into a happy home! Everyone is happy to see you, residents are clearly well looked after and are happy and always aware of what is going on in and around the home. You are made to feel so welcome, and nothing is too much trouble

Because of their dedication, I am able to spend precious, meaningful moments with my mum - moments I will treasure forever. I will always be deeply grateful for the professionalism, empathy, and humanity shown every day.

Absolutely outstanding-and then some. From entertainer to family very quickly. The warmth and welcome me & my daughter received were incredible. The staff are simply amazing. Going above and beyond in everything they do, and it truly shows. The activity coordinators excel in their roles and provide some of the most outstanding, creative, and meaningful activities I have ever come across in a care home. Family members are exceptionally well supported-not only by the staff, but by other families too-and this is a direct result of how open, inclusive, and friendly the home has been made. I cannot write this review without mentioning the woman who oversees every inch of this home: Tee. Having worked in many care homes over the years, I can honestly say I have never met a manager who pours her whole heart and so much of her time into ensuring a home runs to the highest standards every second of every day. Horsforth Manor is truly special, and it sets the bar incredibly high.

I really can't fault Horsforth Manor, my Grandma has been a resident there for over 18 months. She is very well looked after and entertained daily by the numerous organised activities. When we take her out she always wants to go back sooner than planned to the comfort and security of 'her home'.

The Manager and the wider team are so engaging, caring and friendly have we as a family have formed a close bond with both the team and other residents.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Horsforth Manor to anyone and have a few times already.

My grandfather absolutely loves it here. He says that all the staff are wonderful and that he feels safe, happy and secure. The staff are also very good at communicating if anything changes with Grandad and he has become much happier here than he was at his own home. A care home that I would (and do) recommend to anybody.

After two months, I can honestly say how impressed I am with every aspect of this home. From the moment my mum arrived, the staff have been nothing short of incredible - kind, patient, professional and genuinely caring. It's clear they don't just do a job; they truly care about the residents as individuals.

The range of activities on offer is fantastic and thoughtfully planned, giving residents plenty of opportunities to stay engaged, social and stimulated. The home itself is beautiful - it feels far more like a luxury hotel than a care home, with lovely surroundings that make it a pleasure to visit.

Most importantly, I've seen a spark in my mum that I haven't seen for years. She seems happier, more settled and more like herself again, which means everything to our family. Knowing she is safe, cared for and genuinely happy has given us enormous peace of mind. I couldn't recommend Horsforth Manor highly enough

My mum moved to Horsforth Manor in September 2025 and she is so happy as am I. Everything is amazing - the standard of care, the food, the activities, the housekeeping etc. You walk in and the atmosphere grips you as it's busy with residents all doing things with staff and there's lots of laughter and chat. You are never ever on your own unless you want to be. Residents are continously stimulated with activities morning and afternoon and several of the families are invited to join in. Whether it's coffee mornings with cakes, singers, dancing or just playing dominoes there is so much to do. During December there were also trips out to the garden centres and meals out. New Year's Eve saw an Abba Tribute with loads of singing and dancing followed by a fabulous buffet. The food at Horsforth Manor is excellent and my mum can't wait for lunch and tea every day. My mum is safe and secure and I have total peace of mind. Everyone is totally devoted and all they do is with a smile.

The staff are exceptional in the care of my Mum with regards to all matters of her mental and physical care at Horsforth Manor. Always going the extra mile and for me as I live in Australia and am visiting now including me and I feel so reassured Mum is living here safe and stimulated by the amazing activities run by these friendly and caring staff. This really is a beautiful place and the food is fantastic , the management are very efficient with their communication and the creative flair is wonderful. I cannot fault this place or recommend it enough. The morning teas are delightful and inclusive and I love the quizzes. I cannot believe my Mum is playing football and love how many friends she has made and how chatty she has become since she has been living here. She really enjoys going on the outings on the minibus trips and I love seeing the photos on the social media pages. Thank you to all the cadets, caters, activity staff, nurse, managers, receptionists, laundry staff etc.

We are so grateful to the team at Horsforth Manor for the care they give my mum and the wonderful welcome and care her family and other visitors receive too. Mum has settled there and they have taken the time to get to know her and keep her settled and ensure she has the best quality of life possible. The activities there which include all residents and their loved ones are incredible. We are so happy we found this wonderful place for Mum.

Mum has lived at HM for over a year now and the improvement in her health and wellbeing compared to struggling on with independent living is remarkable. The team take such good care of her in all aspects. The home itself is beautiful, clean, modern but cosy and welcoming. It is a pleasure to visit and sit with mum in the lounge or bar which feel like an upmarket hotel. The activities planning is very impressive, there is something on every day and there is lots of community involvement including local schools. Mum is on the Residential floor and we have been so impressed with the care manager's proactiveness and attention to detail. There is so much good stuff to say but in summary, would recommend 100%

The most exceptional and important aspect of Horsforth Manor are the staff who work there. They are amazing, creating such a lovely atmosphere for both residents and visitors, organising innovative and stimulating activities and always with a bounce in their step and a smile.

We all enjoyed a wonderful Willy Wonka Birthday Tea Party. Everything was perfect from the table decorations, the food and the lovely staff. Absolutely fantastic and enjoyed by young and old. Thank you.

A big thank you to everyone. This is an excellent home. Fantastic care. Great upbeat atmosphere. The team managed within weeks to move my mum forward to a place she has not been for nearly 2 years, showering regularly, out and colouring her hair, reading the newspaper, engaging in conversation, and welcoming visitors to my home. Amazing and evidence of the huge commitment and effort of everyone.

Following 64 years of a wonderful marriage, and observed my wife's decline into dementia. I was in a position to obtain a suitable care home for her to be cared for in a suitable and loving manner, with excellent facilities, which I have in Horsforth Manor Care Home. The home, management & staff are simply the best. I have total peace of mind & freedom from worry or anxiety.

When mum got poorly the staff couldn't do enough to support her and the family. Having been encouraged to discuss her end of life wishes, before she became poorly, it became a fundamental part of the care she received and for that I can't thank the team enough.
