My friend just moved into this lovely home, from the minute he arrived the staff and manager wrapped him in love and kindness. I would highly recommend Park Manor.
15 January 2026
What a beautiful place. The staff were great and the place was so well organised caring for all needs. I would not hesitate recommending to anyone considering a place here. The facilities were fabulous and everything was so clean and well organised.

I visited a friend for the Christmas event which thoroughly surpassed all expectations. It was well organised, fun and very enjoyable for all. The care home is beautiful throughout and the staff provide high quality care. They were so helpful and kind to the residents and their families. We had a
lovely time and I'm so glad my friend is in such a lovely care home.
12 January 2026
I was invited to visit Park Manor Care Home and attend their Christmas party, and I was extremely impressed by what I saw.
The communal areas are lovely and inviting, and the bedrooms are spacious and well presented, many with en-suite facilities, which makes a real difference to comfort and
dignity. Everything felt thoughtfully designed with residents' wellbeing in mind.
The staff were outstanding - friendly, attentive and genuinely caring. It was clear that residents are treated with kindness and respect, and there was a lovely atmosphere throughout the home. I would especially like to mention the manager, Claudia, who was incredibly welcoming and professional. Her passion for the home and its residents really shines through and is reflected in the positive, happy environment.
Park Manor is a real hidden gem, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality, caring and beautifully run home.

Hi

deliver it. And it was beautiful
I can name a team members but it would not be fair to others behind scene !
Well done Team.

I found Park Manor to be a most charming environment when I visited a friend. The reception area is stunning and the rooms are all of a good size with en suites which isn't always the case with other care homes I have visited.
The staff and the new manager couldn't be more helpful and I would
certainly recommend this care home for anyone considering going into care or who has a relative or friend needing care. I was very impressed as had not been aware previously of this treasure which is tucked away in the depths of Poole.

Park Manor exceeds all expectations. It is much better than other homes we have seen. The staff are very good even though they are short-staffed. Facilities and food are top rate. The setting of the home and grounds are restful and peaceful. Overall top marks to all the staff.

Excellent home, my mother loves it here. The staff are very well trained and always have a smile. One staff member (Robert) is an asset to this home. Very clean and the views are beautiful grounds are well kept.

Both my parents have been in Park Manor for a few weeks now and we couldn't be happier! The staff are kind and caring, the management have gone above and beyond to help with the process and paperwork and mum and dad are both very happy. My sister and I went to see a few homes before deciding and as
soon as we walked into Park Manor we knew that would be the right one. The rooms are lovely, the grounds are gorgeous but mostly they will have a quality of life that they wouldn't have had they stayed at home.

My mother was in need of a nursing home after a long spell in Hospital, she had many medical needs and was emotionally drained.
From the first afternoon of being at ( The Manor Branksome ) she had first class medical care , with very understanding, and caring staff.
Her health and wellbeing has
improved immensely since her being a resident by 100%, my mother needs palliative care , she received much more then I ever expected.
All of the staff at the home have show great love and kindness to my mother, which is all a son could ask for.
The food is first class , reminds me of a top boutique hotel I stayed in , what more could I ask for from a home from home .
The general manager is very professional and understands what make a good nursing home, her staff are very well trained and really care, if any family are looking for a good home, with excellent facilities look no further.
The general manager has a great eye for quality and has this down to her professional team

Arranged the placement of my mother to Park Manor Care Home at the beginning of June. She was previously at another care home in Bournemouth where she had been for six years.
Apprehensive about this move as six years in one home could create an big upheaval for my Mum.
However on visiting Park
Manor for a viewing an an invitation to lunch my mother fell in love with the home.
The home has recently been totally refurbished to a very high standard and the bedrooms, restaurant and lounges are beautiful.
All the staff, lead by the manager are extremely helpful and pleasant and my mother is extremely happy saying it is like staying in a hotel. The mealtimes are organised so that all the residents are eating together with the opportunity to have a chat and the choice and quality of food is excellent.

Mum, recently moved from another care home in Bournemouth and we were naturally worried how she would settle in.
The level and quality of the accommodation is fantastic and the staff are very friendly and helpful. From management to the cleaners, everyone is motivated to ensure the residents are
looked after.
Mum is very happy there and already joining in with the activities.
01 July 2025
First experience of a care home for my mother. Extremely pleased with Park Manor, so happy to have found it. Staff all very caring and professional. Mum has found a new lease of life with her new group of friends.
13 June 2025
Mum has been welcomed and made to feel at home by all the staff. It took her a while to settle in a bit now seems to be fully involved. She has been an independent woman all her but has adapted to a care home environment through the care shown by those who looks after her.
12 June 2025
From the moment my friend moved in, he felt he has done the right thing. The staff are genuinely caring towards all residents. I visit every day and I can see they go above and beyond to ensure comfort and happiness. This is a new home. Residents are moving in gradually and obviously staff are
getting a bit busier every day. Hopefully they will be recruiting more staff soon as the waiting times for shaving in the morning and the meals, residents are waiting a bit long at present. However it is the best care home I come across in the past 2 years (I visited a few). Great rooms, library fantastic and cinema and also great food! I recommend Park Manor care home to everyone who has a loved one needing help. The staff are the best!
05 June 2025
I visited Manor home for their Easter event with the residents, and it was genuinely a lovely experience. The home has everything you could ask for and is suited in a majestic manor with beautiful grounds. The staff are both welcoming and attentive towards the residents and visitors, they remember
all the small details and just very hospitable. I look forward to returning and participating in more activities with the residents.

My dad become a Resident at this Lovely home from April, 2025 and he is settling in really well. All the staff at the Care Home specially the Home General Manager have been so welcoming and making dad feel right at home. And they make us all welcome.
We could not ask for better home for dad, its
such a Lovely place with restaurant overlooking gardens (waiter service) and home cooked delicious meals.
Rooms are full with light and fresh air, stunning Dinning Rooms on each floor, Library Room/Activities, Cinema Room, Hair and Nail Saloon. Gardens with breath taking views and so much outdoor space for residents to enjoy. Dad enjoys playing domino and chess with us when we visit or with staff.
We have been through a lot heartache with dad in recent year so knowing that he is finally settling in, its such a comfort to us.
And most important of all that they take really good care of dad and we can relax knowing that his needs are met.

My Father has been at Manor Life for approximately a month now. For anyone looking for residential care for a loved one then this is the place to be. Manor Life is outstanding. The care my father receives is second to none. Each and everyone of the staff be it day time or night time show such depth
of care it is just joyous to see. The whole team centres their work around the residents, nothing is to much trouble. Right down to the care assistants the nurses, cleaners, back office staff, reception, chefs and kitchen staff, I couldn't have wished better for my father. I can leave after visiting knowing that he is safe. It is quite apparent that the manager of manor life had got things right in running this business. Every member of staff is such an asset and saying thank you quite simply isn't enough. Please know this, I am so very grateful for all that everyone at manor life does and each and every one of you deserve a huge pat on the back you are just awsome

To whom it may concern,
I write today to say I cannot praise highly enough the care my mum received in her final days at Park Manor Care Home.
Nothing was ever too much trouble, Mum's every wish and desire and that of her family, were met without question or delay. Mum was made to feel at home
straight away and a member of the Park Manor Family, such was the personal level of the care she received.
At all times, everyone was attentive, jolly, patient, focused and caring. I cannot think of a better place in Poole and the surrounding area for Mum to have been. A truly remarkable home: one where I would not hesitate sending other family members or even staying myself if the occasion ever arose.
Take care all at Park Manor, you are all forever in my thoughts and prayers.

My Father was the 1st 'Original Resident' of Park Manor & was very happy & fulfilled for the short time he had at Park Manor. It was his permanent home, and he loved it & the staff. From his very first visit, he felt at home, Dad described entering the library & 'the library hugging him, and he
knew that was where he wanted to be'
The whole team have been amazing, supporting & caring for Dad, they have met every need, gone over & above to ensure his comfort, safety & happiness. The are professional yet caring & empathic, their communication with me around Dad was exemplary, their multi disciplinary working with external medical teams was fab - they really do care
An elegant setting, spacious rooms, homely communal areas, the welcome, as a visiting relative was always warm - nothing was too much for anyone in the team. The atmosphere was a happy one, stimulating & engaging activities - one member of staff even writing Dad's memoirs as a legacy
I highly recommend Park Manor
