Mum was only with you for six days before she sadly passed away following a longer stay in hospital, but we are so grateful to all the staff for the care and kindness she received at Canford Manor.
Every member of staff was so caring and compassionate throughout her time there. We are especially
thankful to the lovely nurse who called us during the night, giving our family the chance to be with Mum when she peacefully passed away.
Your kindness and support during such a difficult time will never be forgotten.

The staff at Canford Manor looked after my wife for 7 weeks while she was in palliative care. They made her comfortable and sustained her with care, consideration and thoughtfulness. They were also very caring for her family when we visited. Everyone was lovely and respectful.

Really calm, kind and caring location. Always open. Helpful staff. Very pleased with how care of Dad is delivered. They also answer the phone quickly if you have a question, and are able to give detailed response.

Canford Manor is the most amazing place. The kindness of the staff towards my dad has really helped in his recovery from a fall.
The communication from the home is exemplary and I do not feel that calling to see how he is a burden.
01 April 2025
When looking for a care home for Dad, almost a year ago, he was not necessarily requiring a full nursing home/care but Canford Manor was highly recommended and a room was available. We are so pleased we chose this home as it is such a happy home both to reside and to visit. The staff and management
offer excellent care and seeing a decline in Dads dementia/confusion over the year we know he is in safe and kind hands. He enjoys the options offered for afternoon activities his favourite being the music events where he soon finds his rhythm and is up dancing and looks forward to meeting up with his friends at the men's lunch table. Dad is well established now and we feel is future proofed for any nursing needs he will require ahead. He is coming up for 97yrs and plans to make 100yrs which I am sure will happen..

My mum had a fall last February and after a stay in hospital, she was not allowed to go back home alone due to delirium. She has now been a resident at Canford Manor for a year and she couldn't be getting better care.
All of the staff including the management team are understanding and really
appear to be caring and empathetic.
They make the residents feel at home and have lots of activities to keep everyone busy.
My mum will not be able to live alone again, but we know she is well looked after and we are always welcome to visit her and enjoy the activities or to have a cup of tea and a biscuit.

I cannot thank the staff enough for just how much they ensured my wife was cared for whilst a permanent resident. The whole staff team from the manager down was absolutely excellent in all aspects - courteous, caring, and professional at all times. I am so glad that I have done my research and found
this home.
Well-led and managed this home ticked every box required for my mixed dementia-suffering wife's nursing and care needs to ensure she was looked after and safe.

When my husband could no longer continue end-of-life care at home, I was distressed and so worried about him having to go into a nursing home. My fears were completely unfounded. Sadly he only lived for another 10 days, but the care and empathy he received at Canford Manor, by every single member
of staff was exceptional. Despite the circumstances, it was such a happy place, an absolute home from home, my husband was kept comfortable and out of pain, something that was proving impossible at home. I cannot thank them enough for their kindness and support. We were treated like part of a big loving family. They even organised a bed in my husband's room for the final days and I was able to be with him, holding his hand when he took his last breath. Something I will be forever grateful for.
This home is exceptional, I cannot recommend it enough.
23 April 2024
The staff from the manager, administrator, nurses, carers, cleaners, and facilities staff were all very welcoming right from the start.
Nothing was too much trouble.
Unfortunately, Mum was only at the nursing home for 3 months, after being discharged from the hospital for end-of-life care.
Mum
was always treated with care and dignity and her last months were made as comfortable as possible.
The family was supported through a very difficult time.
23 April 2024
My mother has been in Canford since Oct 2023 and she has been excellently looked after. Mum could be difficult to understand and handle at times due to her medical condition but the staff made her feel relaxed and at home.
Mums end of life care was expertly carried out and gave her a dignified
death.
21 March 2024
My father was a resident from October 2023 to March 2024.
He had resisted entering for a long time but realised that his frailty meant he could no longer provide for himself at home.
The home completely understood his stance but made him welcome and gave him time to adjust.
All the staff at the
home were incredibly kind and caring.
I visited him often each week and he was always clean, well-fed, content with the team gently encouraging him to join in the activities.
I can't praise the manager and her team enough.

My mother was staying at Canford Manor for 12 weeks after a fall and a short stay in hospital. Canford made the last few months of her life much more enjoyable as she was lonely at home. The care she received was excellent and she made some lovely friends. I cannot thank the home enough for the love
and support given to Mum, my brother, and me as she slipped away and took her final breath.
01 March 2024
My mum always told us if we ever put her in a home she’d come back and ‘haunt us’. However following a serious fall and failed discharge home, she agreed to go to Canford for rehab. Imagine our surprise when she announced to us she didn’t want to go home. She wanted to stay there!
The care home is
lovely, with a warm homely feel to it. It’s not plush like some homes, but the quality of the care she received from the staff was superb. It’s the staff who make Canford so special. They know their residents and treat them with respect, dignity and love. There are plenty of activities, trips out and residents are encouraged to get involved. Mum loved it and enjoyed banter with the staff. They were like an extended family to her. Sadly we lost Mum on Valentine’s Day after a short illness. The manager went to see her in the hospital and she and another lady washed Mum and made her comfortable, which was so touching. They pulled out all the stops to get her home to die and cared for Mum and us with love and kindness.
27 February 2024
Canford Manor and its staff have dispelled all the 'horror stories' that I have heard about adult care. I cannot express fully the care that my mum received, with staff who were full of joy and love. I knew that I did not have to worry about Mum from the minute that she moved in from the hospital.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
22 February 2024
I would like to thank Canford Manor and all the staff and volunteers who made my mum's stay as pleasant as possible in the short time she was there. I myself would like to say how helpful the staff were in any way and always a joy to talk to.
25 January 2024
My aunt was cared for at Canford for 5 months, teh staff were all wonderful to her, very friendly and helped her settle in from day one she was treated with dignity and understanding. Her ground floor room was lovely and bright and well maintained. Her medical care was excellent and she felt the
staff really cared about her wellbeing. The food was very nice, homemade and bespoke to her needs. I'm so grateful to her 'Canford family' for making her so welcome and for the excellent care they gave her. Canford really is a special home.
11 August 2023
I could not have wished for a better place for my ninety-one year old father to spend his last six months of life. The care was superb from all staff. The family were included and cared for as well. Could find not fault. Excellent.
03 August 2023
I would just like to say my mum has now been at Canford Manor for just over 3 years and I can’t rate this care home highly enough.
The staff are amazing and I’ve found everyone I’ve spoken to and asked for help and advice will go out of their way to do everything they can to comfort my mum and
ease my fears and concerns I have had regarding her care.
She is happy and safe and being looked after amazingly and at Canford Manor it’s like she is part of one big happy family. I know she’s in the best place for her needs and I have no hesitation in recommending this home to everyone who is looking to put their loved one in an outstanding care home.
02 August 2023
Excellent care all-round. Staff are lovely. Nothing is too much trouble. Managers are very approachable. Communication is excellent. Meetings are held with residents and also relatives regularly. Always prepared to listen to problems/issues, no matter how small, and rectify or find solutions. Always
looking at ways to enhance the resident's experience of being there with activities and entertainment. The food is good. After staying for respite care, Mum decided she wanted to stay, as she felt very well cared for, safe and, most importantly, happy.
24 November 2022
The service, facilities and staff cannot be any better. A quality home, sympathetic to people's needs.
