I cannot speak highly enough of this home and its staff. The care and love that was given to my brother when he was there was monumental. Also the support and care given to me went beyond expectations and was amazing. The whole experience both for my brother and our family was so good and comforting.

Review from Neil M (Son of Resident) published on 8 May 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dear Mum lived at the Manor for the last 9 months of her life. I have been so impressed by the friendliness, care, compassion and communication of each and every member of staff. Despite my Mum's limited mobility and medical conditions, she was made very comfortable and as pain-free as she has been
in a number of years during her time there. The facility is immaculate throughout and has a high level of decoration and facilities available. She had a lovely view over the playing fields which she often commented on. The communication when any issues arise was as regular as required and I could tell that my Mum developed real friendship bonds with many of the staff and care team. The empathy, compassion and dignity with which she was treated in her final days were second to none and very much appreciated by myself and my family!

The manor is a fantastic facility with staff being ever so welcoming to everyone who crosses the threshold! The attention to detail from the amazing receptionist to the nurse in charge of the unit is flawless! There is no question too large or small every single little detail is taken care of! So absolutely
glad that my loved one is being cared for in such a kind and loving setting! Thank you all at the Manor for being so fantastic at your roles.

Review from Sharon J (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 December 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum lived at The Manor for the last 22 months of her life. The ethos of the home shines through as one of trying to give residents a homely environment whilst attending to any extra caring and nursing needs. The staff exude kindness, professionalism, humour and intelligence, being attentive to the
residents and the relatives, listening carefully to both, and always welcoming visitors openheartedly. When/if there were minor difficulties, they were dealt with politely and speedily. The building manages to be spacious, and also cosy, its numerous social areas being used for daily activities, ensuring that residents have opportunities to continue some of their interests in life. In contrast, the en suite bedrooms offer comfortable private space, with staff popping in regularly to meet any needs, or to just be friendly and say hello. I want to thank staff for helping Mum, family members and me, navigate the last part of my mum's life with such professionalism, tenderness and love.

We, the family, have been very happy with the care given to our mum. The staff are all very helpful and very kind. We have been notified if there has been a problem, no matter how small which we appreciate. The range of activities on offer is fantastic and I'm sure Mum benefits from them. Mum is happy
that her room looks on to the garden, and often mentions it. The Manor is a very welcoming place to visit and nothing is a problem to the staff.

The accommodation and grounds are very nice, clean, modern and well thought-out. Carers are friendly and helpful. The receptionist is extremely kind, thoughtful and caring. The bistro is a lovely place to sit, chat and have tea/coffee and cake. The gentleman who oversees the bistro is friendly and always
happy to help.

My stepmother was only in your care for a month and in that time I was very impressed with the care that she was given. She was in a beautiful room, the staff were very attentive and kind and we were very taken with the facilities of the care home, although she was not well enough to enjoy them. Towards
the end of her life, the staff were very good at keeping me informed of all that was going on.

Review from Mhairi M (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 July 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since my mum has come to stay in The Manor, she has begun to settle in. My mum responds very well with staff and they also relate well with her. Although my mum is not yet taking part in activities, I believe this will come in time. My mum is well cared for at The Manor and when I leave my mum I feel
comfortable leaving her and know she is safe and settling bit by bit every day. The Manor is clean, the food is good and the staff appear to be happy in their jobs, all of which are important factors to run a great nursing home.
Reply from Akbar Mir, Home Manager at The Manor

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review Mhairi. It’s great to hear that your mum is settling in well and it’s to be expected that it will take a bit of time to fully settle into her new home. If there are any activities that your mum would like to do specifically, please do let us know and we can tailor something for her. Please feel free to get in touch with me if there is anything else we can do to help your mum settle in.

Review from N E (Resident) published on 24 March 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I stayed in The Manor for 9 days following orthopaedic surgery, hoping to help the recovery process without the stress of domestic matters. The care I received was second to none. The care and nursing staff were exceptionally kind and willing to help. Their attitude was positive and cheerful. I doubt
I could have coped at home three days after surgery whereas at the home, help was available by pressing a button. I would have no hesitations in recommending The Manor for respite, convalescence or residence.

From the moment you enter The Manor, you receive a warm welcome and know that this is somewhere special. My mother was admitted in December 2022 and unfortunately, did not live long enough to fully benefit from the care at The Manor. I cannot praise highly enough the staff at all levels for the care
and attention both my mother and myself and my husband received. Everyone went above and beyond. I would highly recommend The Manor.

I visited my relative and she told me she played bridge on Tuesday afternoon. It's hard to say how delighted I was to hear this, she enjoyed it enormously, as did the others playing with her. She told me how happy she is at The Manor and she cannot think of anything that could be done to improve it.
What an enormously reassuring statement this is for us.

Current Review Score: 8.6 (8.582)

Review Score Change Log

Please note changes are only recorded per day, so if 2 or more changes occur in the same day, it will only show the result from all the changes, not an individual breakdown of all the changes

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.6 (8.582) out of 10 for The Manor is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 6 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 4.577 for The Manor is calculated as follows: ( (48 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 71 Ratings = 4.577
  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 4.005 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Manor is based on 6 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 = 3.6
    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 74 registered maximum number of service users is 14.8. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.8 = 0.405
  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.
