Review from Gillian W (Wife of Resident) published on 20 December 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband has been here since January. He has severe physical problems and dementia. The nursing care he receives is excellent. All the staff are so kind and caring and always cheerful. The facilities are of a very high standard and the private rooms are very comfortable. There is an excellent range
of social activities almost daily. The food is very good and prepared for residents' individual needs.
I would have preferred to nurse my husband at home but when that was no longer possible, l could not have chosen a better care home.
Reply from Justine Thelwell, General Manager at Lincombe Manor Care Centre

Thank you for such a wonderful review of Lincombe Manor and all its facilities. We are all very proud of the service we offer and it's heart-warming to read how happy you are with your husband's care. You have been a great support to us over the past twelve months in "getting it right" and for that we thank you for all your kindness.

My aunt broke her ankle and was unable to return to her home, as her mobility is now permanently impaired. She was so lucky to get a placement at Lincoln Manor and her room has a beautiful view of the gardens and the water. The staff are always welcoming and my aunt is full of praise for them too. I
could not wish for her to be in a better place, as it has been hard for auntie to accept that she could not return to her home. A big thank you to all the staff for an excellent standard of care and always with a smile.
Reply from Justine Thelwell, General Manager at Lincombe Manor Care Centre

Thank you for your lovely review of Lincombe Manor. Your auntie is such a wonderful lady, we are proud to be able to care for her. Our sea-view rooms are gorgeous aren't they? Just what's needed to make that transition from home to care a little easier. Merry Christmas to you all.

My mother, who lived in an apartment next door to the care home, fell and was admitted the same morning into the care home. The Manager was very welcoming and was flexible whilst we saw whether mum recovered enough to return to independent living. She is now a long-term resident at the care home and
they look after her wonderfully well. It is such a relief to know she is safe and cared for by a very professional team.

Review from A L (Husband of Resident) published on 22 September 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Every three months my wife takes a room for a few weeks to give us both respite. Before the first stay, I remember asking myself (as surely others do): I wonder if they fully know what they are doing.
It did not take me long to appreciate that the answer was a resounding YES. And what that meant, among
other things, is that I could simply stop worrying about my wife and relax, confident that she was safe and well looked after with great kindness. And in turn that strengthened respite.
Right from the warm greeting from the Receptionist at the door, one knows that this is a place where residents and visitors will be made welcome and treated as friends and that is worth so much. I would have no qualms in recommending Lincombe Manor both for long and short stays.
Reply from Justine Thelwell, General Manager at Lincombe Manor Care Centre

That is such a lovely review. We know how difficult is was for you in the beginning but now it's like a well-oiled machine. We know you both so well it's like having family to stay. I am pleased to hear you get some rest and relaxation whilst we take care of your lovely wife. On her next stay I must send you some pictures of her enjoying our wide range of activities as she loves to try new things as well as her favorites such as a bit of rock and roll and pub games. Looking forward to seeing you both soon.

Thanks to the wonderful team at Lincombe Manor for looking after my mother so well. Her mobility is a real struggle, and nothing is too difficult for the team to assist her. We managed to have a special day out for her birthday, all organised in conjunction with the home, and they provided a special
chair and plenty of instructions and a very helpful bag of useful things to help with her care requirements. It was a wonderful occasion and made her so happy; she is still talking about it two weeks later. The facilities, team, management, facilities and the actual beauty of the home itself make it the perfect place for a very special person to be looked after. Having the peace of mind, 'she's in good hands' is a welcome relief, and no request is too much. I can't thank the team enough.
Reply from Justine Thelwell, General Manager at Lincombe Manor Care Centre

Mum is such a delightful lady - how can we not look after her so well! She is indeed still talking about her fabulous birthday weekend and even complimented your cooking to me, although she did call it an attempt at cooking - she is so cheeky. We love meeting you all when you visit. Just tell us when the next celebration is, and we will make sure Mum is in her finery. Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Our mum has been at Lincombe Manor for over three years. Management and staff could not be more supportive, amicable, experienced and truly magnificent during the Covid-19 crisis. Amazing location and facilities, with sea views and extensive activities. It's such a comfort to know how well she is taken
care of and enjoying her residency.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We couldn't recommend Lincombe Manor highly enough. My gran originally went in for respite and has now transferred to full care (which itself is a recommendation as for years she has steadfastly refused to even contemplate entering a care home, let alone staying in one!). What is noticeable is how friendly
and happy the staff are, and have been really good at helping to integrate my gran into the activities that are available at the home. Her en-suite room is comfortable and fully equipped to care for her needs, and the stunning upstairs area with views over Torbay just provides the icing on the cake!
Reply from Justine Thelwell, General Manager at Lincombe Manor Care Centre

Wow! What an amazing review. Thank you so much. It's amazing to hear that Gran feels comfortable in her new home. To be honest, Gran makes it very easy for the team to be friendly and happy in her presence. She is such a gracious lady and we are proud to have the opportunity to care for her. Those views are stunning aren't they? I still have to pinch myself when I go upstairs. Thank you from all of us at Lincombe.

The high standards continue at Lincombe both in level of care and the surroundings. The staff at Lincombe must be put forward for a particular mention. Always there with a smile no matter how busy they are. It is of note that many staff members have worked there for years and that is a comfort to both
residents and relatives. Forming relationships and continuity are so important. Whether your stay is temporary or long term Lincombe look after you well.

My mum moved into Lincombe Manor Care Centre in May and has received excellent responsive care. All of the staff have been friendly, caring, supportive and so helpful. We are comforted to know that mum is being very well looked after. There are many opportunities for her to participate in a range of
activities if she chooses to do so. Communication with everyone at Lincombe Manor has been easy and efficient with regular updates being provided. The manager and all of the management team have been extremely helpful and supportive not just to mum but to the family too. Lincombe Manor is comfortable, clean, well maintained and has fabulous views across Torbay which can be enjoyed from mum's room, the lounges and the rooftop garden. The food is excellent and varied. I would not hesitate to recommend it to others.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.801)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.801) out of 10 for Lincombe Manor Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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 4.801 for Lincombe Manor Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (356 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 412 Ratings = 4.801
  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 Lincombe Manor Care Centre is based on 33 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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6, which has been reached with 33 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.

My name is Helen, and I am the Clinical Lead RN here at Lincombe Manor Care Centre. I began my nurse training in 1985, starting in hospital settings in Herefordshire, Lincolnshire and South Devon. I have always felt very blessed to be able to find a career which I feel so proud and passionate about.


I relocated back to South Devon from Lincolnshire in 2017, which is when I began my journey at Lincombe Manor Care Centre, progressing in my role from RN, to Senior RN and becoming Clinical lead in 2024.


Away from work, I enjoy walking in beautiful Devon. I love nature and its vast variety of birds and animals. That said, I am equally happy to sit in a café with a good book and a latte, on a rainy day.
