He was very happy with his care in the home. He enjoyed all conversations with the caring staff and felt valued and well looked after. He was comfortable in a well-equipped room and even had our opportunity to enjoy the garden when the weather improved.

My father-in-law is currently residing at Saxon Manor care home. The staff are always incredibly welcoming and put us at ease in a difficult situation.
The home is always spotless and clean and residents looked very well cared for.
We couldn’t be happier with our choice.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the moment I contacted Saxon Manor to ask about respite care for my mother to the time we left after her two-week stay, we were treated with kindness and respect. Nothing was too much trouble, from reception/office staff to the caring staff, housekeeping and catering.
My mum was looked after
with care and kindness, and nothing was too much trouble for them. I hope she can return and would have no hesitation in recommending Saxon Manor.
Reply from Kirsty Price, Home Manager at Saxon Manor Care Home - Avery CollectionThank you for your kind words, Lisa. We strive to deliver the best care for our residents, and your mum was a pleasure to support! We would be delighted to welcome her back anytime to see us.

We are very happy that Mum is at Saxon Manor. The organisation and transfer from hospital was excellent, and Mum appeared to settle in and feel comfortable instantly. Since then, on our visits, Mum always appears happy, well dressed and looked after. The staff have all been very helpful and friendly,
and the building and facilities are excellent.
Reply from Kirsty Price, Home Manager at Saxon Manor Care Home - Avery CollectionThank you Kevin for your kind words. Your feedback is truly invaluable to us and our team who strive for the best standards of care for our residents. We are pleased that you chose us for your mum, she is an absolute pleasure to support.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father moved into the home in October 2023.
The staff and management are all very sociable and want what's best for my father.
Nothing is too much trouble.
The food is of high quality and cooked to a very high level. I have had dinner with my father, and it was superb.
I highly recommend
this care home to anyone looking to place your loved one into the care of Saxon Manor.
The staff are very caring.
Excellent service.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The carers, kitchen staff and the management team at Saxon Manor could not be more welcoming and nothing appears to be too much bother for them to accommodate. My mother was made to feel very special on her birthday and I have nothing but praise to all at the care home for making this a special day/weekend.
Naturally, it was a tough time to have to find a care home for a parent who has been fiercely independent for all of their adult life however I am pleased to have chosen Saxon Manor to provide the care she now needs.

Review from Karen W (Daughter of Resident) published on 31 October 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Dad is currently staying at Saxon Manor for 2 weeks respite with a view to living here. Dad is thriving here and loving it - he said that he is looking forward to living here. All of the staff have been wonderful, not just with Dad, but also with me. I am Dad's main carer and they are keeping me involved
and informed. I feel that we are working together to ensure Dad's stay is successful and he settles well. Nothing is too much trouble. Everyone, no matter what their role is in the home, is friendly. Even when Dad and I initially visited with my 4 pages of questions (plus following up with more in several emails!) I wasn't made to feel that I was being a pain or a problem. Other family members who have visited Dad there, have fed back how happy they feel he is. Even though Dad may not be actually staying at Saxon Manor at the time, we have already been invited to attend one of their events in November.
We are both so happy that we chose Saxon Manor for Dad's care.
Reply from Kirsty Price, Home Manager at Saxon Manor Care Home - Avery CollectionThank you, Karen, for taking the time to review Saxon Manor with a 5-star rating. Your feedback is truly invaluable to us and our team who strive for the best standards of care for our residents. It also makes us incredibly happy that your dad is thriving and is an absolute pleasure to support. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.861)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.861) out of 10 for Saxon Manor Care Home - Avery Collection 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.861 for Saxon Manor Care Home - Avery Collection is calculated as follows: ( (238 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 259 Ratings = 4.861
  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 Saxon Manor Care Home - Avery Collection is based on 21 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 21 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.
