My dad moved in to Kentford Manor on 19.3.2026 after a spell in hospital.
Right from the start he has been cared for extremely well from all members of staff. They are always happy and cheerful and are very polite and helpful to us when we go and visit dad. He is happy there and they try to include him in the various fun days and regular events. He enjoys the music lady coming to visit him on Thursdays so that he can have a sing along. We feel he is being very well looked after. The entertainment staff are very good at organising events and entertainment, nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff.
Hello, thank you very much for taking the time to leave us feedback about your experience, we are so pleased to hear that dad is settling in well. We try our best to ensure there is plenty of options for the residents to get involved with so I am glad to hear dad has found some activities he is enjoying.

Navigating Motor Neurone Disease brings a heavy psychological weight, constantly worrying if your loved one is safe and respected. Kentford Manor didn't just alleviate that weight for our family; they removed it.
Their defining feature isn't just the excellent facilities, but the staff. They understand my mum's mind is perfectly sharp even as her body changes. They engage with her not as a patient to be managed, but a person whose dignity must be actively preserved.
Because of this, mum genuinely enjoys her time here. She takes part in activities (as have I), and it feels like a true community, not a clinic. I've joined her for fantastic meals, enjoying the warm environment they've cultivated.
The ripple effect on our family is incalculable. The relief of walking out knowing she is safe and cared for allows us to just be her family again, rather than anxious managers.
They haven't just given mum a safe home; they've given her a sanctuary. I couldn't recommend them more highly.
Hi Ray thank you so much for taking the time to leave this lovely review. We are so glad that mum has settled in well and that she is happy here with us. As you know you are always welcome to visit and have lunch with us at Kentford Manor.
All of the staff respected his wishes, but at the same time, gently encouraged him to become more involved in the...
Overall, Kentford Manor is proving to be an excellent choice for my father.
Hi, thank you very much for taking the time to leave us feedback about your experience.

The excellent management and care team at Kentford Manor supported us with a short notice requirement for care for our dad, they were efficient, friendly, and guided us through a difficult situation with professionalism and always with dad's wellbeing at the centre of all they did. They helped us at each step of the process and resulted in dad transitioning to his new home successfully and safely. Facilities are in excellent condition, clean and bright with dad being given a newly renovated beautiful room.

She reports feeling well cared for (even though she sometimes has to point out some small things are not to her personal choice). She is provided with "non menu" food to suit her preferences. Overall I feel that should I need full time care that Kentford Manor would be a good place to receive it.
Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience whilst visiting your friend. We appreciate your kind words and we are glad to hear you feel Kentford Manor is a good place to receive full time care.

Kentford Manor is a modern and airy home to many elderly folk including my Mum who was admitted at the start of this year.
Managers, support and nursing staff are really outstanding. Their care and interest is genuine and never superficial, even though Mum at 99yrs can be difficult.
As family, we value the welcome extended us when visiting and the light hearted atmosphere reassured us that Kentford Manor folk enjoy their vital work.
Thank you for taking the time in sharing such a great review. Reviews like this are so helpful and uplifting for all the team at Kentford Manor.

Our father stayed at Kentford Manor from September 2023 until his passing in March 2025. Initially there for respite care, he had to stay longer after a fall. For 18 months, our father bravely faced heart failure and edema. The Kentford Manor team provided exceptional care, including catering, laundry, cleaning, and medical support, alongside genuine companionship, ensuring he never felt lonely. As regular visitors, we appreciated the compassionate reception team and management, who facilitated open communication and efficient operations. The decision to move to a care home is significant, and Kentford Manor might be right for those finding self-care increasingly difficult. The wonderful team at Kentford Manor provided invaluable support to Peter and our family, especially in the last weeks of his life. We are forever grateful to these amazing people for their unwavering care and companionship during such a challenging time.
Thank you so much for leaving us this kind review, it really means a lot and we will share it with the team. We are all very passionate on the service we provide here at Kentford Manor.
Our dad, came to Kentford Manor initially for respite care and like it so much he stayed as an independent resident which provided him with a good routine great nursing staff and excellent care. His washing and cooking was all done for him and he was very content and that gave us a piece of mind...
We will be forever grateful not only for the respect you gave to our dad but you showed to us
Thank you so much for your kind words. We always believe that we extend our caring abilities to our residents and families. It gives us a sense of accomplishment that you have felt the staff are kind and empathetic.
During both the short & long 4 weeks, that my partner received End of Life Care at Kentford Manor, for me, one service provided stood out. Kentford is not like a hospice.It is a large purpose built home, in which the precious end of a person's life could easily be lost, amongst the other...
During both the short & long 4 weeks, that my partner received End of Life Care at Kentford Manor, for me, one service provided stood out. Kentford is not like a hospice.It is a large purpose built home, in which the precious end of a person's life could easily be lost, amongst the other provision. Upside of this, is the business can afford to employ a Customer Care manager,part of whose responsibility is supporting two way communication with family,loved ones, the service user and others. Had this person not been there to mediate, the loss of my partner would be even more difficult to face than it is. Professionally neutral, she remains extraordinarily empathic, intuitive,considerate, caring and kind. I hope she never loses her touch, as the service she provides is indispensable.I cannot thank the home enough for their gentle and inclusive welcome, ensuring that the quality of my last hours with the deceased, were as good, for both of us as possible, under the circumstances.
We couldn't be happier with our mum's care at Kentford Manor. The team is exceptional and they have looked after the whole family at what has been a difficult time. We're so very grateful for everything they do and highly recommend their services.

On the wishes of our mum, who was at end of life care, she asked to go into a care home as she didn't want her daughters and husband to have to care for her at home. We as a family carried out her wishes. On looking at reviews we decided on Kentford Manor thinking this would be the best for our mum. Please do not send a loved one to the Kentford Manor for end of life care. The 'care' that our mum received was despicable and disgusting to say the least. We witnessed things that no family should have to go through and have had no apology or feedback whatsoever which we had been advised that we would receive. We are obviously taking this much further but felt a review was needed so as no-one has to go through the heartache that we went through at an already incredibly difficult time.

I started working at Care UK in 2014 through an agency for Glastonbury Court. I’m proud to have worked my way up, having started in the domestic team, then moved into care and a managerial position as a residential lead at Davers Court, followed by Home Manager roles at Mildenhall Lodge and now Kentford Manor.
I see managing a care home as a privilege. I am very passionate about my role and doing the best for the home, residents, relatives and colleagues. I believe that being open and honest, relatable, reliable and approachable to all groups is very important to achieve the best outcomes for all.
I love working at Kentford Manor because of the challenge of my new role, and I’m excited to build new relationships with the team and, most of all, the lovely residents and families here.
To be successful in this role, you need to have patience, empathy, and an understanding of different residents, staff, and family members. You should be polite, always be there to listen and try to understand every situation through different eyes.
The best part of my job is seeing the residents happy, having fun and being able to live their lives the best they can.
A big passion of mine is football, and I love to spend time with my daughter. We love to watch her dad play football all weekend.
