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.

Firstly I must say how good the Receptionist is at welcoming us into Lincombe. She is always a happy person and very helpful with whatever we need. The staff are all polite and nothing is too much trouble. My relative is very well looked after and is content. I get a very quick response by phone when
there is an issue, and feedback when I ask for it.


Well done team.

I can’t speak highly enough about Lincombe Manor. From the management team to the kitchen staff they are all lovely. They’ve supported me and my family through what was a very traumatic time. Since our family member has become a resident, the trauma and worry have subsided and we rest easy in the knowledge
that our loved ones are given the very best care.
Thank you for all that you do and for giving us peace of mind, a truly wonderful gift.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.807)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.807) 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 36 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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 4.807 for Lincombe Manor Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (369 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 425 Ratings = 4.807
  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 34 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 34 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.

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.
