My mother was admitted due to dementia while my father was in hospital. He subsequently became a resident in his final weeks of life.
My father's care was excellent, as was how the team communicated with me (I am overseas) after his death. My mother's well-being appears to be well managed and I
have no concerns over how she is looked after. When anything has been amiss, the team have communicated effectively.

My Brother in law started living here in September for safe guarding following being failed by a care company in the community . He is a major amputee with most of his right side missing below the ribs. He was welcomed in a friendly manor by staff, and is and has enjoyed his stay building up
friendships with many of them. He is a smoker and has a ground floor room with his own door into the garden so he can go out whenever he needs to. His meds have been had a revue and is in a better place because of this as his pain management is under control at last, thanks to the nursing team working with his doctor. He has is own TV which the militance team sorted for him as it is a large one.
He is a vegetarian and is hard to feed as he doesn't like many vegetables. He has his own fridge, this has allowed for family to work with the catering staff and supply foods that he likes to go along with what they produce. Has gained weight which is another positive.
His mental health improved 10 fold.

Mum happy and is very well looked after. She is content and has formed good relationships with all the staff, who are very friendly and thoughtful she has also made some new friends in the other residents. The staff have an excellent understanding of her needs and also of her likes and dislikes. She
loves the visit from the various animals, dog, alpaca and ponies she was even allowed to say good bye to her cat before it was remhomed. She keeps herself busy knitting and other needle crafts as well as reading and puzzles. She has lots of visitors from church and choir, as well as family. We have been able to hold family gatherings in The community hub which means although mum is " in care" she isn't isolated. We have also been able to take her out for short trips too.
One improvement I would like to suggest is the community hub needs a piano! We are a very musical family and mum, and possibly other residents might enjoy hearing little concerts from us.

Fantastic service from a truly dedicated team of people - nothing was too much trouble. My father was only there a few weeks at the end of his life, but he had been previously for respite care, and there was nowhere else he wanted to be. My fathers passing was with dignity and love.

I cannot walk or stand. Staff are kind, and compassionate and willing to help in various ways. Food is good but would be better with less stodgy cake and more fresh fruit. Choice is good and if neither options suits, an alternative salad is produced instead. My clothing is washed by my daughter, who
lives nearest me. My sons visit when they can, as they live much further away. My husband, who has 2 broken hips, visits when he can. He lives alone about 1/2 mile from Manor Home.
21 January 2026
The home provides a welcome and comforting atmosphere. First impression on entering positive and translate it consistent and thoughtful care. Staff are friendly and approachable and share a strong ethic - frequently stepping out of their prescribed roles to offer any holistic approach. I consider
ourselves most fortunate to be granted care at this institution.
14 January 2026
I am very pleased with the level of care and professionalism shown by the staff at this care home. Everyone is kind, patient, and genuinely attentive, always taking the time to ensure residents feel comfortable, respected, and well looked after. The environment is clean, welcoming, and calm, which
makes a real difference to both residents and visiting family members. Communication is clear and reassuring, and it's evident that the team truly cares about the wellbeing and dignity of those in their care. I would highly recommend this care home to anyone looking for a safe, supportive, and compassionate place for their loved one.

Manor House is a calm, caring, immaculately clean and well-led home. The staff are kind and very good at communicating with residents and their families. The staff are always smart and friendly, and they always seem joyful in their manner and several speak of their own experiences inspiring them to
do this job. Families are always encouraged to contribute thoughts when care plans are drawn up. Dad's dementia is the aggressive, pacing type. He is only ever met with kindness. He is never left alone. If he wonders, the staff go too. Accompanied on hospital visits. Comforted when upset. We can only speak of Manor House in the highest terms.

My grandad has been on dunston for over two years now and I can't express was a lovely care home this is. They truly care about their residents the carers themselves are a blessing and the continuity the residents receives ensure that they've built relationship and trust. Myself and my family have
no complaints the residents get fair share of activities everyday and the best care. This is my grandads fourth care home and despite his dementia they've managed his behaviour so well that he's the best behaved he's been in the last four years he's put weight on and his memory hasn't declined if anything slightly improved. Any medical issues the nursing staff report and over winter he's had one chest infection in the last two years which compared to previously he'd have one in every month in winter. Thankyou to all the staff and your advocation for my grandad it's truly seen and appreciated by our family.
18 August 2025
Staff went above and beyond for Dad. Throughout his stay they were exceptional when he eventually passed.
I would and will recommend the Manor House in a heartbeat to anyone who is looking for a caring professional and compassionate team to lock after their loved ones in later life.
Thank you
once again for your help and unfaltering support.

After a failed hospital discharge and horrendous experience of care at home, we placed Dad at Manor for a 2 week respite period to focus on him getting better and to recover from the traumatic experience. They kept their promise and delivered a faultless care plan. They advised, organized and
supported us all through the whole process and showed Dad love, care and dignity in his recovery The staff are all so friendly, kind and compassionate and you really feel part of the family.
Thank you for everything you family did for Dad and the whole your kindness will always be remembered.

The care of my mother, provided by the staff at the home during her last days of life, was excellent. As close relatives concerned for her welfare, we could not have asked for more consideration, compassion, and involvement than that provided by all members of the team.
It is extremely comforting
to know that my mother's final days were spent in such a caring environment.
22 February 2024
My dad was a resident for 16 months and during this time he felt secure, happy and well cared for. The staff are this home's biggest asset. They are caring, and considerate and we were happy when leaving Dad in their care. The nursing staff could not do enough for Dad in his final days and for this,
we are eternally grateful. I would certainly recommend this home to anyone.
25 September 2023
