I'm so grateful for the care my grandmother receives at Regency Manor. From the moment she moved in, the staff have gone above and beyond to make her feel at home. They're kind, attentive, and truly treat her like family. Knowing there's an in-house GP gives me so much peace of mind, and I love that
the home is pet-friendly- it's those little touches that make all the difference. I can honestly say we found the perfect care home. I couldn't ask for more for my grandmother.

Apprehension at first putting my mum into a care home. I needn't have been as Mum is so well cared for in Regency Manor. Mum was not getting the care she needed with carers at home and here she gets all the attention she requires. Changed, regular checks every two hours, more interaction and she is
putting on weight and is much less anxious.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad, who peacefully passed away last week, experienced four years of the most amazing care at Regency Manor. Living with dementia and macula degeneration, his latter years could have been very difficult, but the wonderful team at Regency Manor looked after him so well. Their understanding, kindness,
compassion, gentle humour and positive attitudes are such a comfort to residents and families alike. Dad was given many lovely outings and experiences, thanks to the tireless inspiration of the wellbeing team, and everyone was so supportive throughout his time there. A loving home from home, I'm so glad Dad experienced the acceptance and support he needed by coming to Regency Manor.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We were concerned at first that Mum might be distressed by the move into a residential home, although initially it was for a two week respite. We could not have been more wrong. Very quickly, it became apparent that she was happier at Regency Manor than she had been at home and certainly much better
cared for. The level of care is the key. She is surrounded by friendly, professional and warm-hearted carers, administrators and wellbeing staff. It has been such a positive experience that Mum has asked to stay on indefinitely.
Reply from Juliana Brasil, Director of Digital Operations at Regency Manor Residential & Nursing Home

We are heartened by your kind words and are thrilled that your mum's experience at Regency Manor has been so positive. We understand that moving into a residential home can be a challenging transition, so we're glad it has turned out to be a comforting and positive change for her.
Our team pride themselves on providing exceptional care and creating a warm, welcoming environment for all our residents and it's uplifting to know that this has been recognised and appreciated. It's our greatest joy to know your mum is happy and content here and her decision to stay with us indefinitely is the highest compliment we could receive.
Thank you once again for your trust and for taking the time to share this experience. We look forward to continuing to make Regency Manor a comfortable and caring home for your mum.

After a very poor experience at hospital, leaving my mother utterly distressed, I had no choice but to remove her. The manager and her team have been wonderful. A staff member came to the hospital to assess Mum and five hours later, she was sat at Regency Manor in her own room with a cup of tea and
eating scrambled eggs. From my first telephone call everyone has been kind, thoughtful and caring. My mother is smiling and I have peace of mind knowing when I go home she’s being well looked after. Highly recommended for anyone looking for permanent or respite stay. Thanks to each of you who have made this move happen so quickly, efficiently and with care.
Reply from Juliana Brasil, IT & Marketing at Regency Manor Residential & Nursing Home

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.994)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.994) out of 10 for Regency Manor Residential & Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.994 for Regency Manor Residential & Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (167 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.994
  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 Regency Manor Residential & Nursing Home is based on 14 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 69 registered maximum number of service users is 13.8, which has been reached with 14 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.
