I visited my friend Pat for the first time today and was extremely impressed. The care home was welcoming and spotlessly clean. The staff were polite and helpful - and they served me with a very nice coffee. Pat looked well cared for and clean, and her bedroom and bathroom were immaculate.

You have been absolutely fantastic at taking in and looking after my aunt, who was so frail when she arrived. The first time I came to visit and found her dancing, I cried. I knew she would be so happy. Thank you everyone for being so kind and welcoming to Belinda.

Mum had a lovely respite stay at Dorking Manor, she really felt like she had a little holiday. My mum is a very poor eater but she reported that the food "was out of this world". She enjoyed the activities, especially the exercise sessions. Her care was amazing, she always looked immaculate, as did
her surroundings. Staff were always gentle and smiley in their approach. She returned home more engaged and stronger.

I have been at Dorking Manor Care Home for 4 months, and cannot fault the care and attention shown by all the staff. They are all so friendly and helpful, and nothing is too much trouble for them. If you have a problem that the staff can't deal with, the management are also very kind and caring. I am
enjoying my stay at Dorking Manor Care Home, and will be here for many more years.

My husband has been at Dorking Manor for 3 months now.
I am happy with the manner in which my husband is cared for. The carers are very attentive, caring and treat residents with dignity.
I feel my husband is safe and given a lot of one to one care which he needs for his type of dementia.

Review from Anne B (Wife of Resident) published on 2 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son and I decided after over a year of caring for my husband with dementia that we needed a break. A fortunate accident led us to approaching Dorking Manor Care Home. Their very friendly reception of us alongside the attractive buidling and surroundings and obvious care of the residents by the
working staff, led us to booking a 2 week respite break. My husband seemed very content there and the staff showed great patience coping with his nightime incontinence.


The Home readily agreed to extending his stay by a further week when I became unwell. After the three weeks in the Home we brought him back to the family home and he seems to have settled back here very easily. His memory is virtually non-existent but the few comments he has made suggests he was quite happy to be in the Home. We hope to make use of the Home for further respite breaks.

Review from Grant H (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 17 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since my mother-in-law became a resident at Dorking Manor, they have provided excellent service and care, and consequently she adjusted quickly to her new normal. The staff are amazing, and always keep me informed of her day to day. They are always friendly and available if I need to speak to them.
The home is spotless, and the food they provide, and various entertainments are first class. I am greatly impressed with their friendly and professional approach to all aspects of my mother-in-law's care.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the home to anyone looking for a caring and comfortable care home for their loved ones.
Reply from Lesley Loizou, Regional Community Relations Lead at Dorking Manor Care Home
Thank you for your review Grant, we are so happy to look after her, she is delightful and very friendly and engaging to any visitors, hers or otherwise. She is also our very own glamour lady.

We visited five or six care homes in the local area and Dorking Manor was by far the best, in our opinion. Hamberley is an established care home provider with multiple UK locations. DM is a brand new building. We liked that it was designed from the outset as a care home - lift access, wide corridors,
hand rails, ensuite bathrooms. Excellent range of facilities. Warm and friendly environment. Wide range of activities. Personalised care. Our mother receives a high standard of care and has settled in well.

Dorking Manor Care Home has been a wonderful new home for mum since moving in in December 2024. It ticks all the boxes, and the staff are brilliant with her, whether that is going out for a walk, painting her nails, or having a laugh with her.

The staff are always very welcoming when I come to visit and make an effort to learn names and recognise faces. They know their residents well and treat them as if they are family. The staff are always cheerful and are prepared to spend time talking to residents and visitors. The chef is excellent.
The food I had was first rate. They made an effort to ensure the residents are as active as they can be. My place for the future is already booked.

Review from Chris G (Son of Resident) published on 17 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum stayed at Dorking Manor for a 2 week respite stay in late February 2025. Overall she enjoyed staying there very much. It is a brand new home which has only been open for 3 months, and as a result there are not many residents staying there yet. Prices are currently discounted making it very good
value.
Dorking Manor is a beautiful building with excellent facilities and a large garden. It is situated in a quiet, lovely area of Dorking, within walking distance of the town centre. The staff are all excellent - friendly, caring and experienced, and Mum was looked after extremely well. The 'homemaker' model adopted by Hamberley Care Home seems to work well, as all staff are engaged in caring for the residents in addition to their other tasks, which results in good social interaction between residents and staff. I have given slightly lower ratings for food and activities, but these will no doubt improve when the home is more fully occupied.

My friend is well cared for at Dorking Manor. All the staff are attentive and ensure that her day is interesting. She has always been a smart woman, and here, she can get her hair done weekly and have her nails painted, which is so good for her morale. Twice recently, when I visited, there has been
live music, and she has clearly enjoyed this. I am welcome to drop in anytime to visit her, as it's clearly important that she regards this as her home now.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.860)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.860) out of 10 for Dorking Manor Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.860 for Dorking Manor Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (173 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 200 Ratings = 4.86
  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 Dorking Manor Care Home is based on 17 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 76 registered maximum number of service users is 15.2, which has been reached with 17 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.
