I have been involved with Lincombe Manor Care Centre for over four years. The home has provided a secure and caring environment at all times and, in particular, during the last year. The rooms are comfortable, the staff friendly and efficient and despite the present situation, they make every effort
to keep us informed and updated with all the latest developments re Covid and its impact on the visiting regulations. It is so reassuring to know that those we care for are being kept safe.

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

Thank you for your kind words. Your unwavering support during the past 12 months is very much appreciated by us all. We look forward to brighter days to come.

I cannot recommend them highly enough and especially through 2020, with the unprecedented challenge of Covid. All the staff and management have been

My wife moved to Lincombe Manor Care Centre in December 2019 after finding that I was unable to continue nursing her myself at home which I had been doing for the last three years. She has a condition named Multiple System Atrophy/C which is similar to Parkinson's but worse, it is a degenerative condition
and is advanced. After she was admitted, I had reservations whether she was going to receive good care and support but I quickly discovered that the staff here are loving and caring, always smiling and jovial, nothing was ever too much trouble, we were both always treated with respect and dignity. I was also surprised that I have been allowed to spend so much time with her because she is so far advanced, I spend on average ten hours a day with her, feeding her, being together, enjoying the fresh air on the upstairs decking, enjoying the wonderful coastline views. The complete staff and management have been so wonderful and kind to us both I could have not have asked for anything better.

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

It is very comforting to know that we are meeting your wife's needs as well as both your expectations. I know it was an extremely difficult decision to make when you came to see us. You will always be welcome to spend as much time with your wife as you want to. The pair of you come as a package and we are very happy that you take in those spectacular sea views together.

My mother has been at Lincombe Manor for 3-years or more, and she has always been looked after with care, dignity and respect.
The management and team at the home has always been exceptional in the care and attention she has had, and our family have always been comforted in the way she has always
felt safe and secure.
The Covid virus has brought about a whole range of new challenges for us all, and the home has responded with a full range of activities to keep everybody active.
Importantly, the manager has sent regular emails with full information about how they are coping with the challenges being experienced, and updates on my mother and all the residents.
A big thank you to you all, and I hope to soon be able to visit my mother and thank you all personally.

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

Thank you so much for all your kindness and support. Your Mother is cherished by us all and its lovely to hear how much you value the team. We are very lucky to have such supportive families and it breaks our hearts during this heinous pandemic that we have to separate you from each other. Rest assured we will endeavour to keep her safe and well until we all meet again. What a party we are going to have. I get excited just thinking about having you all back with us again.

My mum came to Lincombe Manor in August 2019; it was an immensely difficult and emotional decision.
We cannot thank or praise the staff enough for their commitment, kindness and care towards my mum and for welcoming us all.
We know Mum is being well cared for; she is safe and takes part in activities
which are so reassuring.
I would not have my mum looked after by anyone else. They are a team of very skilled and dedicated people who go above and beyond. Above all, Mum is settled and content; what better measure is there?
Grateful thanks to you all.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

This is a lovely care home and my mother was treated with the utmost kindness and compassion. Her dying days were also spent at the home and all the staff delivered exemplary care which I am sure contributed to a peaceful ending for Mum. She was always content living there and I was ever-present, often
advocating on her behalf. Any requirements and requests were always carried out and welcomed by the staff. The only criticism I have is the lack of visitor car spaces in immediate proximity to the site. This did not personally affect me, however, as I was happy to park a small distance away where spaces could be readily found.

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

Thank you so much for your kind words. We very much miss you and your mother. The home is not the same without you both. It pleases me greatly that you were content with Mum's care. The team take great pride in the quality of the service they deliver and I will make sure they all know how appreciative you are of them. I cannot disagree in any way with your parking critique. It is the only negative aspect of the care centre but with the super golf buggies we own to zip people up and down the hill, it does make it slightly easier for those who need a bit of help reaching our front door.

My husband has Parkinson's disease in the later stages. He was only in Lincombe Manor for 1-week respite care. I cannot thank the staff enough for the care he was given. They are a fantastic team. Everyone you see has a smile for you and makes you feel that nothing is too much trouble. I would have
no fear placing him in Lincombe Manor again. The only problem is parking but we managed.

Thank you so much for your lovely review. My team enjoyed every aspect of caring for your husband and we would welcome him back any time you may need our help. I agree with you that our only negative is the parking situation but hopefully, the care your husband received supersedes the frustrations of our parking situation.

Mum arrived from hospital for respite following a broken pelvis. She was in great pain and very anxious. The staff at Lincombe Manor were very welcoming and warm and friendly. She grew in confidence as the staff helped and encouraged her walking. She also grew around the stomach as the food was second
to none. I would like to say an enormous thank you to all the staff and wouldn't think twice to bring mum back should she need more respite in the future.

My 'second mum' stayed at the care home for four months after a short spell in hospital, and because she was no longer able to be cared for appropriately at home. She was very well looked after and her needs were fully met. She especially enjoyed the food! The staff were lovely and clearly did their
best to make her feel comfortable and loved. It was a shame that she was not sufficiently well enough to enjoy all the education and entertainments that were put on in the home, or indeed, the magnificent surroundings. As visitors, the facilities were excellent as was the hospitality.

It was our pleasure to look after "second Mum". We miss her every day. Thank you from all the team for the lovely card last week showing us where "Mum" is living.

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.
