I cannot fault the care support and dignity shown to my nan by all the staff. Knowing nan is safe and all her needs are met, is such a relief to our family. The staff treat nan like she's their own nan which we love. I/we have every trust in the care Waterhouse Manor provides. Thank you all so much.

We cannot fault Waterhouse Manor in everything and anything. We love the staff's attention to detail their care of everyone they obviously love their jobs and we get the feeling they like and care for the residents. When we've a problem however small its always been dealt with quickly with dignity ad with excellent results. The food seems to be very good - the only complaint is the tea is made too weak and too milky. Full fat milk should not be put in tea it defeats the object of mum drinking enough.
Thank you so much for such a lovely review, this will be passed on to the team. Semi skimmed milk is available and has been added as preference to your mothers care plans. Thank you for your ongoing support, it is appreciated.
Wonderful caring team. Couldn't ask for more. Facilities are fantastic. Food was great. The atmosphere was more of warmth, fun and friendship. What a great place for when you are feeling vulnerable. Thanks to the great team in making my mother in law welcome.

My Mum has been a resident for 1 year now, being one of the first to move in. From our very first visit, I knew Mum would be well cared for and happy. The staff are all amazing, the care and patience with everyone is reassuring. Facilities, activities and special events make this an outstanding...
We are welcomed as one of the family whenever we visit. For Mum's 98th birthday last week they arranged for us to use one of the lounges, decorated with banners and provided an excellent afternoon tea, despite having a dog show and fete to organise the same day.
I cannot speak highly enough of all the staff at Waterhouse Manor, and would not hesitate to recommend the home for your loved one!
Thank you so much for your lovely review, this will be shared with the team. Your support is very much appreciated.

I am a friend of somebody who comes a couple of times a year to be able to see her relatives and friends. Every time we /I am made so welcome by everybody who obviously all care so much about all the people who are in permanently or in for respite. Nothing seems to be too much trouble. Perhaps I should be putting my name down now!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words! It truly means a lot to us to hear that you feel so welcome each time you visit. We take great pride in creating a caring and supportive environment for both our residents and their families and friends.

I had a good feeling as soon as I walked into the care home. Ben on the front desk was welcoming and helpful. After viewing the facilities I thought my Dad would like to be here and be well looked after. He has now been a resident for almost a month and he seems happy and content with his new home. The process involved a good deal of stress, however Sorcha answered all questions and provided great reassurance. In the limited time I have had to visit all of the staff have been friendly and attentive to our needs. Dan was super helpful with sorting practical jobs in Dad's room.
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words. We're truly pleased to hear that you had a positive first impression and that your Dad is settling in well and feeling happy in his new home, that's exactly what we strive for.We'll be sure to pass on your appreciation to Ben, Sorcha, Dan, and...

It means a lot to know that their support made a difference during what we understand can be a very emotional time.
I can only offer positives to the care and attention given to my father at Waterhouse Manor, and communicate any concerns in good time. From my observations, the staff always treat the residents with excellent care and attention.

The staff were most kind and caring. Nothing was too much trouble. Sometimes messages did not get passed on.

I was impressed with the rooms and en suite etc. Ate there twice, unfortunately same day of the week, so same meal, but it was enjoyable. Not sure of any activities, never witnessed any. Collected him today after a 2-week stay, and the staff had packed up all his belongings. When I got home, unpacked, I had half the clothes which were not his! I don't know much of what is missing, as I did not make a list when I took him to the care home.
As always, the event was very well organised and coordinated. We were greeted with a smile and offered a drink straight away. The residents who we met during the experience were all very happy...
As always, the event was very well organised and coordinated. We were greeted with a smile and offered a drink straight away. The residents who we met during the experience were all very happy and full of cheer! We had a lovely afternoon meeting everyone and thank you for inviting us to spend some time with you. Its a really lovely place to visit, clean, well kept and all the staff who we met were very kind, caring and professional.
Thank you for your wonderful review. Thank you for visiting with your Alpaca's, the residents really enjoyed the event and are really looking forward to seeing you all again soon

Dad has been at Waterhouse Manor 4 months now and things just get better and better. The staff are all amazing, caring, happy and cheerful and always willing to engage with family visiting. I am always made to feel very welcome and I love that I can visit my dad at any time - there is nothing hidden. The activities staff work hard to give residents a huge variety of activities and entertainment - and they are all supported and encouraged to participate at whatever level they are able. A weekly exercise group has recently started - which I feel is really important and beneficial for the wellbeing of my dad and for other residents. Waterhouse Manor is so much more than just another care home- it is something lovely and positive. I look forward to visiting my dad here and I'm glad we choose Waterhouse Manor.

My mother recently had a two-week respite stay and thoroughly enjoyed herself during this time. Communication to arrange the stay was excellent and I felt able to ask any questions and make requests with confidence. The home is clean, modern and comfortable and everyone is very welcoming. Mum commented on the lovely staff, who could not do enough for her, and the interesting activities. She felt well cared for and safe, and said she would happily have another stay in the future.

My wife has continued to receive nothing but the very best in daily care at this wonderful home. All visitors are made to feel very welcome and precise attention to individual needs remains as outstanding as ever. The variety of activities on offer are outstanding and all are carefully chosen to include residents in sessions which are both stimulating and encourage their participation and involvement at a level with which they are comfortable. Relevant information on my wife's well-being is always readily available. Now with warmer weather here a few short trips out to meet up with close friends and family have proved to be a welcome and worthwhile addition to the usual care home routines.
Mum has been at Waterhouse Manor since January. The home is stunning and very clean. All staff are friendly, caring and professional. Mum has quite complex needs. all of which are being met. Nothing is too much trouble and as a family we feel listened to and made to feel welcome whenever we visit.
