Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.
Reply from Nicola Rands, Care Home Manager at Townsend ManorThank you for your kind words. We also appreciate your suggestions and will take those on board.

Review from Emma L (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 April 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
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.
Reply from Nicola Rands, Care Home Manager at Townsend ManorThank you so much for your review. We all love your dad at Townsend Manor and hope he has many happy years with us.

Review from Gillian S (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 March 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.
Reply from Nicola Rands, Care Home Manager at Townsend ManorThank you so much, it has been our pleasure to care for your mum.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.
Reply from Nicola Rands, Care Home Manager at Townsend ManorThank you so much for your kind words, it was an absolute pleasure and I hope to see you again soon.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.504)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.504) out of 10 for Townsend Manor is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 39 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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 4.504 for Townsend Manor is calculated as follows: ( (302 Excellents x 5) + (103 Goods x 4) + (34 Satisfactorys x 3) + (13 Poors x 2) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 456 Ratings = 4.504
  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 Townsend Manor is based on 32 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14, which has been reached with 32 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.
