I live abroad and only get there on occasion, so it is always nice to find Mum content and happy in a relaxed atmosphere. Thanks to the manager and her fantastic, friendly team and brilliant sense of humour, this brings an extra “happy” dimension to the staff and residents. Mum is not the most social
person, but the staff have done their best to get her engaged in activities that she used to like, such as bingo and quizzes. The home is beautifully decorated in a style that is different to many care homes; it doesn’t smell of urine (sorry – but many do!), and the location is absolutely fantastic, with views over the ocean from the roof terrace! Rooms are a good size with a bathroom en-suite, and the food has a gourmet touch (smoked salmon salads, for example). And Mum loves her glass of wine with her meal! Book me in for about 20 years from now, if I last that long!

Reply from Justine Thelwell, General Manager at Lincombe Manor Care Centre

You are so kind. You have captured Lincombe perfectly. Mum is the best bingo caller ever! She really gets the competition to fever pitch and graciously accepts her bar of milk chocolate in payment for her expertise. We can't wait to see you again when you fly over. You have been an immense support to us all despite being many miles away.

My mother has been a resident since just before Christmas 2021, and I’ve been really happy with her care. The staff are really motivated, super kind and very caring. They make me feel welcome when I arrive and give my mother lots of love and attention. There is a general air of efficiency about the
home, and it’s well organised. The views are beyond amazing, and the food is really very good. I’m so pleased that Mum is in such good hands. All the staff work really hard to provide an excellent service for residents. There is nothing to fault. Hats off to the manager for steering the ship through the Covid storm and out into calm waters! Well done all!

Reply from Justine Thelwell, General Manager at Lincombe Manor Care Centre

It is our absolute pleasure to look after Mum. We are so pleased you are happy with the care we give her; it means a lot for us to hear this. None of us would have gotten through these past two years if it weren't for families such as yourselves supporting us all the way.

When I received a call to say that mum would be going to Lincombe Care Centre, I was beyond happy. I couldn't believe mum was so lucky. The room was wonderful with a beautiful view over the bay and a bird feeder outside the window. I know this sounds like such a small thing, but my mum loved birds.
The staff were absolutely amazing and nothing was too much trouble. They treated mum with dignity and until my PCR results were received, accommodated me visiting mum through the window. After spending all those weeks in hospital, it was wonderful to see her smiling again. She said she thought she was in a hotel and had even had a glass of wine with her lunch. Unfortunately, mum passed away only a week later, but they all made mum's final days comfortable and happy. The staff also looked after me, for which I will always be grateful. First-rate care and I'm thankful mum was a resident even for such a short time.

Reply from Justine Thelwell, General Manager at Lincombe Manor Care Centre

Hello. Such kind words from someone who only knew us for a short time. You were so kind to us as well so don't forget that. Mum touched all our hearts for the short time we were able to care for her. She never stopped smiling and was amazed she landed in a "top notch" bed. The whole team says thank you to you and your family.

This care home is an absolute gem. From my first contact, they made everything so easy for me and my mum. They helped us prepare the room so it was just like home. Every member of staff delivered above and beyond. Mum's care and nursing needs were met beyond my expectations with total dignity. I cannot
express in words how good this was.
Unfortunately, my mum passed away after only a short stay, but again everyone was so respectful and helpful at this difficult time.

Thank you for writing such kind words about us especially when you are still grieving from the loss of your lovely mum. It makes us happy that we made such a good impression on you in such a short space of time. We do all wish you well and thank you for your support

Mum came to Lincombe Manor in November 2021 on respite for initially one month she is currently still here until February. Mum has had great care and the staff have been first-class and friendly. We couldn’t have wished for better, the peace of mind Lincombe Manor have given is immeasurable, a big thanks
to you all. I’m sure she’ll return!

Reply from Justine Thelwell, General Manager at Lincombe Manor Care Centre

Thank you so much for the praise and kind words. How could we not look after Mum so well she is an absolute diamond and we all love caring for her. If Mum ever chose to come back we would put out the flags and pop the champagne. We appreciate you as much as you appreciate us. You are a lovely family and it has been a pleasure getting to know you all and making sure you have had some quality time with Mum over the past few months.

This is just a photo glance of what I observed and gained from the resident. We were welcomed at reception, signed in, hand care then plastic aprons, not quite sure of the need for these. We were then allowed to go through to see our resident friend. The place was warm and friendly. Our friend looked
well cared for including hair. She said all the care workers were warm and friendly and the meals good although she had no appetite. We had a lovely afternoon visit. The following week we were able to bring two of our elderly friends and we all had an enjoyable visit at the Manor House. Thank you for making this possible.

Reply from Justine Thelwell, General Manager at Lincombe Manor Care Centre

Hello. That is so kind of you. I am very happy you felt welcomed at Lincombe. More importantly that you could see your friend was well cared for and content. That means a lot to us. We look forward to welcoming you again.

Although our loved one has only been at Lincombe Manor for a short time, I cannot speak highly enough about the care and attention he has been given. From a negative prognosis in hospital, somehow this marvelous nursing home appears to have performed a miracle on him. He was incredibly weak, unable
to swallow, and had lost the will to live. In just a few short weeks he is so much stronger, looks forward to each delicious meal time, and most importantly has regained a zest for life. The staff are kind, caring and extremely helpful particularly in their support to relatives. We are extremely grateful to all at Lincombe Manor and will have no hesitation in recommending this beautiful nursing home to others.

The lounge where I saw Mum was very well done with tables and chairs and
all that the residents need.

It was our first time at Lincombe Manor nursing home, we went there to meet up with my mother; who is at present a resident there, we found that everyone we came across from care staff to nurses very kind and very understanding, which takes a lot of pressure off when you know your loved one is being
looked after well.
My mother said she loves it there and finds all the staff very nice indeed, always laughing.
So I say yes, I would put your nursing home very highly recommended to anyone who needs to put a loved one in a home. Keep up the good work and a massive thank you for making my mum's stay with you as pleasant and nice as you are.

My mother has been a resident for over 3 years and requires intensive nursing care. The professional care my mother has received has been exceptional and individualised to her needs and she is always treated with respect and compassion. I thank the staff for their unwavering dedication and personal
sacrifices made through an unprecedented time showing great resilience as a team. I would like to mention the manager's exceptional management, leadership and pragmatism and of course her sense of humour which has seen us all through. Covid protocols have been stringently adhered to and the appointment of the covid administrator demonstrates the home's commitment to safety. The covid administrator is professional and thorough in her approach and is valuable in providing a safe environment for all. I would wholly recommend the home without hesitation.

Reply from Justine Thelwell, General Manager at Lincombe Manor Care Centre

Goodness me, we are all bursting with pride reading your wonderful review. Mum is so dear to us and we are truly privileged that you have entrusted her care to us especially during this exceptionally challenging year. You and your sister have been nothing but 100% supportive of us from the very beginning and words cannot express how much that means to us.

A very friendly and efficient system of testing when visiting eased any worries over Covid19. Extremely helpful member of staff to welcome you and prepare you before entering the home. Wonderful to be able to have a quiet hour with my mum.
Sadly, my mum has been unable to venture from her room due
to her illness, so I am unable to comment on the care home facilities.
However, people we know have always rated them highly.

When my friend had a fall and was taken into hospital, part of his return was to go into a local care home and this was very stressfull for him and us. The homes he was put in were not the best. Shortly after this time we were going on holiday and for our peace of mind we asked our friend if he would
like to go into a care centre for respite care which he was happy with.
On our return and bringing him back to his own home he astounded us by saying he was so happy with the care and ambience of Lincombe Care Centre that he asked us to arrange for him to be put on the list to move there for good and sell his home for him.
That has been the best outcome and he is happy and we are too. He is well taken care of, when we visit he always looks smart and clean and well.

Reply from Justine Thelwell, General Manager at Lincombe Manor Care Centre

How lovely of you to say how happy and reassured you are that your friend is well cared for and content living with us. He is such a wonderful gentleman and always looks so smart when he takes gentle strolls around the home whistling his favourite tune. We cannot wait to welcome you all in again so we can celebrate together after what has been a long and arduous year for everyone. Your continued support throughout this very challenging time has been most inspiring.

My father has been a resident at Lincombe Manor for over a year now. He has been looked after extremely well and the staff are friendly, kind and caring. He has been kept very safe in what has been a tumultuous year for all of us. I am extremely impressed with the procedures in place to guard against
infection and transmission of the virus.
Lincombe Manor is in a superb location with spectacular views over Torbay. My father, once a very keen sailor, loves the views.
I have just returned from my first indoors visit for more than 12 months. I was very impressed with the protocol in place to test visitors, coach us in anti-infection processes and the provision of appropriate PPE.
Well done all at Lincombe!

Reply from Justine Thelwell, General Manager at Lincombe Manor Care Centre

You have made us all beam from ear to ear! We are so pleased you feel safe in the home and more importantly that you know Dad is safe. Dad is such a respected member of the community at Lincombe. He has taught us many things over this past year and we are lucky to have his wisdom to guide us. Dad was wonderful, tending to our summer sunflower competition so let's see what he can pull out the bag this year. It is lovely to see you all coming back inside. We feel a sense of normality is slowly returning. Thank you for all your support this year. It has been a challenge but made so much easier with families such as yourselves cheering us on.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.805)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.805) out of 10 for Lincombe Manor Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.805 for Lincombe Manor Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (356 Excellents x 5) + (41 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 410 Ratings = 4.805

  • b) 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:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • 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.
