This care home have gone above and beyond to make sure my husband is happy and settled. He has some lovely carers who know him so well and this helps to get him to get the best care he needs. They are always willing to try new things, listen to our ideas and they have all supported me and our children
as well as my husband.

My husband had only been a resident a few months before he sadly passed. Townsend Manor was my saviour. The way Townsend care for their residents is second to none. I'm truly grateful from the manager to the team of nurses and carers how quickly they worked out how to handle and approach my husband
as he could be difficult at times. I was kept informed on any health or medication changes. I felt at ease with him being at Townsend Manor unlike previous nursing homes. He enjoyed the food that was served which was a must for him and he also enjoyed being taken down to the bistro area for coffee especially the cakes. We often sat here when I came to visit this is such a lovely area to be together to have a coffee especially as I was unable to take him out anymore. The rooms at Townsend Manor are spacious, airy and well-designed, especially the wet room, privacy and dignity met all in one place. They made me and my 2 dogs very welcome on all occasions. This care home is 5 stars in my eyes.

Reply from Sarah Ward, Home Manager at Townsend Manor

Thank you so much for the thoughtful card you provided us. Your heartfelt words mean the world to the team at Townsend Manor.

It was truly our privilege to care for him and to ensure his dignity and comfort. Your recognition of our team's efforts and the environment we strive to create means so much. Knowing that you felt at ease and that your husband enjoyed the food, the bistro area, and the moments you spent together there brings warmth to our hearts. We're also so glad that we could make you and your dogs feel welcome-it's those moments of togetherness that are so important. Your kind words about the care, communication, and environment at Townsend Manor will inspire us to continue providing the highest level of support to our residents and their families.

I was delighted with the level of care my Mum with dementia received. The carers soon got to know my Mum and were very adaptable in meeting her needs. Her end-of-life care was met with heartfelt care, consideration, and putting Mum first. The management was always available to talk to and discuss what
was best for Mum. I really felt such gratitude to have my Mum in such a caring home as Townsend Manor.

Reply from Sarah Ward, Home Manager at Townsend Manor

My Dad was a resident of Townsend for just over a year. I really can't thank all the staff enough for all the love and care they gave my Dad right up to the very end.
I really felt they all went above and beyond. Not only do the residents feel part of the Townsend family, we all did too. Visiting
is unrestricted which makes it feel homely. There is always a member of staff available to talk to.
I personally feel that not only have I lost my wonderful Dad but also some lovely friends too.

Reply from Sarah Ward, Home Manager at Townsend Manor

Our dedicated staff strives to create a loving and homely environment for all residents, and it means the world to us that you feel like part of the Townsend family. Losing a loved one is never easy, and we are honoured to have been able to provide comfort and care not only to your Dad but also to you during this time. Please know that our doors are always open, and our staff is here to support you whenever you need. Sending you our heartfelt condolences and warmest wishes. Best regards, Townsend Manor Team.

I can't fault the staff. They all did their utmost to care for my dad. Sadly, Dad was only there for about eight weeks. He died very peacefully in his room, with his family around him. The staff made it possible for the family to be with Dad for however long we wanted.
There was never a time limit
or set visiting hours. Also, any number of visitors could come and visit Dad, obviously being considerate of other residents.
The only thing that I can find fault with was that there wasn't an over-the-bed table available. As my dad was bedbound, a table would have been very helpful.
It felt as if we were part of a big family. I still go back to visit the staff, as they're all so lovely.

My sister and I moved Mum from another care home to Townsend Manor. On first looking around the care home, we were very impressed with the building and facilities offered. It was clean, tidy and well looked after. We were given advice and support from the care home manager, and she has continued to
provide advice and support throughout. The care staff are all very hardworking, friendly and caring, and not forgetting the important domestic, laundry, kitchen and maintenance staff as well. All work very hard to provide an excellent service. Mum settled in well and enjoyed sitting in the courtyard gardens in the warm autumn sunshine last year. We also enjoyed a film in the cinema room as well with drinks and popcorn provided! It is with thanks that we entrust the care for our dear mum to the lovely staff at Townsend Manor. Thank you.

With both Dad and step-mum suffering from dementia, the whole team at Townsend Manor have been truly amazing. When our Dad was getting frail and time passed everyone assisted the family with everything including passing away peacefully in-house. The professional care but with a family feel really helped
Dad and helped our step mum along with our own family feel at home and cared for. Everyone from management down, goes above and beyond a care home facility, keeping everyone involved and part of their family too. Such a kind, caring and proactive team. I couldn't thank them enough for everything.

My son and I were recommended to try the Townsend Manor Care Home for giving nursing care to my husband when our carers and I were finding his disability difficult to manage at home. He went in on October 8th and was shown a room which was ready for him to occupy. He was bedbound but was looked after
with good care and support and treated with dignity and respect. After being given a new catheter, he developed a urine infection and was treated at hospital. He went back to the home but was very frail. He slowly went downhill and was readmitted to hospital from where he did not return.
Would not hesitate to recommend the home.

This is a beautiful, well-managed home, welcoming to visitors and a pleasure to visit. This whole place is well-furnished except I feel there is a shortage of space (provision) for personal possessions, especially in the shower room and very little hanging space for clothes.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My father moved into Townsend Manor in December, just before Christmas, and from the first step in, he has felt at home. The transition went better than we ever could have imagined, and we are so happy at how happy he is. The staff are absolutely amazing; they really do go above and beyond, they are
so accommodating for every need, answer every question and always make time. In the short few months, my dad has been part of their family, I now feel they are all very much part of ours, and they really do care for him like he is one of their own. They even listened to how much he missed playing pool, and he now has a little pool room for himself and the residents; little things like this go a really long way. My biggest fear was security, but within the first day, I was at ease, and I know my dad will not and cannot wander and 'escape'. I also now am able to visit my dad as his daughter and no longer feel I am his carer, and we have a much better quality of time together in snippets. Thank you all.

Excellent facilities and spotlessly clean. All staff are friendly and professional, nothing is too much trouble. Visitors are made very welcome and offered refreshments. The on-site hairdresser is very good. Plenty of activities and residents are encouraged to join in both on-site and excursions. Very
reassuring for relatives to know many of the carers are nurses and the doctor attends weekly.

My parents stayed in Townsend Manor for two weeks. I can honestly say the care was amazing from all staff. The staff went way beyond not only their care for my parents but concern for the rest of the family's wishes too. The home itself is to a very high standard and I could not recommend it more highly.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.615)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.615) out of 10 for Townsend Manor is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.615 for Townsend Manor is calculated as follows: ( (250 Excellents x 5) + (62 Goods x 4) + (18 Satisfactorys x 3) + (7 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 340 Ratings = 4.615

  • 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 Townsend Manor is based on 26 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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14, which has been reached with 26 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.
