Can I please convey our family's appreciation and many thanks to all the staff at Manton Height ABI Unit. The way you have all looked after Dad, and pushed him to get back to some normality in the last 6 weeks has been fantastic and we know he will miss you all as he has become very fond of the staff
who have cared for him, we are very lucky to have had him stay with you. He is currently sitting back in his chair and keeping a watchful eye on his garden.
Once again many thanks from all of us and from Dad.

My brother has been at Manton Hieghts since October 2022. The staff are brilliant - very friendly and caring to both the residents and their family. They do their very best for the residents who can sometimes be challenging. The home is well kept, and the food is great - I am able to eat with my brother
which is a lovely touch. Although he doesn't join in with the activities much, the staff do try to encourage him. I am kept informed of any issues and it is such a relief to know that he is being so well cared for. Thank you to everyone at the home.

I would like to thank all the staff and care workers for taking care of my Mum and Dad who both arrived last week and am so happy that they have been put into adjacent rooms.
A big shout out and thank you to the lady who has been so helpful and really looked after me and my sister and our daughters

The kitchen staff and chef are brilliant. Nothing is too much trouble and everything is so clean. The care home is very clean and tidy and everyone is looked after. I am happy to know my Mum and Dad are together and are being well looked after and entertained!

Both my grandparents are currently residing at Manton Heights and I’ve been so impressed with not just the big things but the attention to detail. Their rooms are big and clean, the food is amazing and well thought out for their needs, the entertainment is lovely but most of all the staff are wonderful
and so kind. Two ladies have been especially kind and very empathetic to our family's situation, I feel they really have our back which means so much. I hope my grandparents can stay here as the relief of knowing they are so well cared for is beyond comforting. I might even book myself a room for the future (just in case)

Review from D M (Stepson of Resident) published on 17 January 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our 87-year-old, very active and independent Step-Mum suffered a serious stroke in November 2023, which required two weeks of intensive care at the Lister Hospital in Stevenage.
From there she was discharged to the ABI Centre at Manton Heights in Bedford a small (12-bed) specialist rehabilitation
unit. We have had no experience with this before, but cannot stress enough just how good this unit has been. First-class facilities, a tailored, well-structured daily programme of speech therapy, physiotherapy and counselling complemented by voluntary but encouraging group sessions with others who had also suffered a stroke, and easy, relaxed visiting. The results have been truly remarkable and our step-mum has now returned home, with a fully structured care package following excellent liaison between the unit and Social Services.

Review from Julia C (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 January 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the day that Mum arrived at Manton Heights ABI unit, there was an individual plan for her rehabilitation. Every single member of staff at the unit contributed to Mum's development and to the excellent communication with family members. It was amazing to see the steady improvement whilst she was
a resident and, because I was included in the planning, I was able to learn how to support her to continue to improve once she returned home. The sense of community in the unit was an important aspect for Mum and she was able to re-learn, first to communicate and then to support and encourage others. I was amazed one day when she told me about the fit of giggles that had started in a group exercise class. I would not hesitate to recommend the team at Manton Heights to anyone who needs ABI rehabilitation.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mantle Heights was absolutely exceptional and beyond anything I expected of a care home. The staff built not just a professional bond with my mum but she saw them as friends. They understood every need my mum had and catered for everything we asked of them. They were exceptional at keeping in touch
and keeping me informed of any meetings or appointments my mum had.
She was given a lovely room which was suitable for her needs and always clean.
They went above and beyond and I couldn’t recommend Mantel Heights more. The manager was brilliant and considering what he has to do daily he always kept me in the loop of things. Fantastic place.

Review from Nyla A (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 January 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father was a difficult case as he came from hospital not mobile at all. He was treated fairly by all staff members at the home, they tried many different exercises to get him moving about/in a completely different mindset from when he started.
He was given physiotherapy, they were patient and kind
to him and provided him with the tools to get up and get moving again (was able to go to the toilet alone unassisted) and he walked back from the car to his home added with a frame. He was given speech therapy, along with many other opportunities within the home.
The home is lovely, brand new in fact, really nicely decorated and the rooms are great sizes. Good facilities for visitors and patients also. The team even dropped my father back at home and saw his home environment/equipment was adequate. All my phone calls, all my visits and the team did everything they could. Thank you. Would recommend this unit 100%.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Right from my initial phone query about Manton Heights, to the day Dad left the care home - we experienced nothing but pure professionalism, empathy and understanding from all of the staff.


The managers explained everything very clearly, they listened and didn't make me feel silly for all the questions

I was asking. Dad is quiet and isn't very sociable but the staff made sure they kept him comfortable. My Mum felt really confident he was in safe hands, the staff let her speak to him every day on the phone, and they told her how he was doing.


The rooms are clean, well well-ventilated, with a lot of quiet spaces, brightly lit and welcoming for residents. The staff have much positive energy and really care. This is what attracted me and Mum to the home. We'd gladly have Dad stay again.

My mother moved in at the beginning of July. I have only managed to visit once, but I am very impressed with Manton Heights care home. Mum is well looked after, and anything she wants or needs, she only has to ask. Fortunately, my sisters and niece live more locally and have visited often. They are
also very impressed, and it's a great weight off our minds that Mum is getting such a high level of care. The building is modern and well maintained, the staff are friendly, helpful and efficient.
Mum has her own room with an ensuite, with a nice view out of the window. The meals are very good with a variety of choices at every sitting.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.701)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.701) out of 10 for Manton Heights Care Centre & ABI Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 53 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 50 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 4.701 for Manton Heights Care Centre & ABI Centre is calculated as follows: ( (456 Excellents x 5) + (122 Goods x 4) + (24 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 605 Ratings = 4.701
  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 Manton Heights Care Centre & ABI Centre is based on 50 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 91 registered maximum number of service users is 18.2, which has been reached with 50 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.
