Nelson Manor has a very homely, happy atmosphere as soon as you enter the building.
All the staff are very caring and friendly, not just to residents but to relatives as well.
It is spotlessly clean and the food is lovely, very well presented and appealing.
Grateful thanks to everyone.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From our first visit to have a look around the home to the management staff overseeing my mother's arrival from a previous care home it's been first class.
There has been a remarkable change in my mother's health and wellbeing which the staff and facilities have had a big influence on.
After my mother's
accident we all had reservations on whether she would ever return home but with the care and physiotherapy she's received in the last month we are extremely optimistic that she will return home before to long.
Thank you to all the staff at Nelson Manor

My friend was made welcome right from the first day. She has settled quickly and is content. I believe this is because of the care she has received from all the staff. She is well fed and her clothes are kept clean as well as her room. It is the staff however who make the difference, they do
a difficult job with real concern, compassion, patience and plenty of fun.
I always like to visit because I feel welcome. It seems a happy place to live and to work. I would definitely recommend it to family and friends.

It was my 50th Birthday on Tuesday, this week and my mum is a resident at the care home & unfortunately she's not able to get out/or organise anything for my special Birthday.


So therefore, I mentioned it to a member of staff at the care home and they said it would be okay for me to come upto Nelson

Manor Care Home to have my lunch with my mum& they also organised an entertainer for the afternoon.


I had truly fabulous day.

My relative has been bed bound for the last 8 years, unfortunately and is unable to participate in activities and socialise. Recently she does not seem to be very happy and gets very confused. She used to enjoy the banter with the staff but now seems to be lonely. She also needs help with feeding and
drinking.

Nelson Manor is a very professional place. Residents are well looked after and the staff are respectful and courteous. Rooms are well equipped and are kept clean and tidy at all times. The food is nutritious and prompt. The staff work hard for their residents. I only have 1 negative comment to make,
some staff/bank staff have poor English, this at times makes communication difficult for residents seeking help.

Nelson Manor has been a great help. They looked after my mum for several years and were excellent with providing her care - particularly as she was a difficult patient. More recently, they have been excellent at looking after my dad who has been at Nelson Manor care home for over a year. The rooms are
spacious and clean with room for a wheel chair and space for guest chairs. The carers have always been great, they put on lots of fun activities and he's really enjoyed going out to the pub. The staff have also gone above and beyond and put on special dinners for him and his friends with white table cloths. The staff treat my dad with kindness and dignity. There are always multiple options of food throughout the day and a special meal can be requested if there isn't anything he would like. Having visited relatives in other care homes in the area I would rate Nelson Manor very highly and reccomended to anyone who needs help for their loved ones.

Great caring people, friendly welcoming environment. My mother has settled in well here and already sees it as her home. The home is well maintained, clean and warm, which is great for my mother. I feel comfortable that mother is being looked after and this puts my mind at ease during challenging times.
The staff are all friendly and professional.

The care shown during Dad's time at Nelson Manor was wonderful. The staff were caring, professional and would go to any lengths to make sure Dad was comfortable and as content as possible in his final weeks. My sister and I were always made welcome and included in the process and decision-making. I
wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nelson Manor. Lovely staff, lovely management, lovely care - thank you.

I visit my husband on average 5-6 days each week, and on every visit, I find the staff are always polite, friendly and professional at all times.
Staff are very caring towards my husband. They treat him with respect and dignity.
The facilities are excellent. They offer a good range of activities
and have a themed week every month with a singer. The food always appears to be appetising with a choice of food available.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I've reviewed Nelson Manor Care Centre previously and given full marks and nothing has changed. I believe my Dad would not be alive if hadn't had the care and compassion he's had for the last two years here. I visit five days a week and it's so very rare that I have to 'mention' something (eg his food
isn't cut up), every single employed carer (and nurse) shows complete empathy and kindness to all the residents. Pray that I never need a care home myself, but if I did, I would want it to be here. So very grateful to them all. Thank you so much.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.649)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.649) out of 10 for Nelson Manor Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.649 for Nelson Manor Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (155 Excellents x 5) + (56 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 222 Ratings = 4.649
  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 Nelson Manor Care Centre is based on 19 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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14, which has been reached with 19 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.
