My husband's dementia went into a rapid, downward spiral towards the end of October 2025. For over a year, my objective had been to keep him safe, well, happy and at home. By October, despite his daughter and son-in-law putting their lives on hold and moving in with us, it became all too apparent
that this was no longer viable. We had been supported by my Minister and our GP throughout. Following hospitalisation and stabilisation, a room was made available at Manor View. As soon as I heard the news, I rang and asked if I could call and see where he would be staying. We live in the Bangor area, so I was able to call right away. The first thing that struck me was that I was welcomed warmly and given a tour of the suite where my husband would be staying. After such a drastic change in his life, his arrival in Manor View was like the sun coming out after a period of darkness. His care is exemplary, the staff are wonderful. Above all, my husband is happy.

Mum was in the Hamilton Suite from 17/5/25. From the very start the staff very welcoming and caring. Mum settled very quickly after nearly 6 months in hospital and we credit that to the care she was given.
They kept us informed of any necessary information regarding mum and regular communication eg
phone calls from the nurse / chats when we visited kept us up to date with all that was going on.
We are very grateful for the care mum has received.

I have an Aunt Uncle in manor View. The staff are friendly and very caring. The food is so delicious. My Aunt came from hospital after a botched hip operation. When she moved to the Home it was classed as comfort care but the care and attention she has received is second to none. She has progressed
from puréed food (Level 4) to Level 7. My Uncle is enjoying the food too and very happy and settled. I am delighted they are in Manor View.

I am very happy with the care and attention given to my mother. The nursing staff are very good. My mother has been bed-ridden for over 4 years and during this time she has had great skincare and only one case of a pressure sore. I think this is exceptional. The home always contacts us regarding any
changes in her medication, habits or eating changes. My only negative comment is in relation to the decor, it is dated and while it is always kept clean, the home could benefit from a refresh. This is something the board should consider.

I am very pleased with the care and attention my mother receives from each and every member of staff. All the staff are so lovely and are very approachable at all times. I have nothing but praise for all of them from nursing, admin and domestic staff.

My husband has been in the transitional unit since 16/07/24 and is being treated with care and dignity by all the staff. He has a carer with him 24/7 and they are very respectful and treat him with dignity and care. The management are very involved with the residents and I have been kept up to date
with my husband's day-to-day situation. I can recommend this unit highly as dementia is so unpredictable and the staff do their job with love and care.

My dad who lives with dementia was transferred here from hospital for rehab.
The staff made him very welcome and took the time to explain everything to the family also. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the food was good too.
Everyone made his time there easier for him to settle.

This care home may be OK for ordinary care but I cannot recommend it for end-of-life care. It is understaffed, so much so that over a period of just over a week my mother needed to use a bedpan urgently and we were told they couldn't do anything until after they had served the breakfasts. Despite
further requests nothing was done for an hour on two occasions and an hour and a half on the third by which time my mother, aged 105, was trying to climb out of the bed.
End-of-life care should be staffed to make much more frequent checks. Staff visits were only made when they had some other task to do.
The GP prescribed liquid painkillers to be available when she could no longer swallow, despite them being available she was not given them when she needed them (12 hours) because the relevant information was not passed on to the nurse on night duty.
Whilst I am sure that the majority of staff were kind and caring the staffing levels and the necessary procedures were just not there.

My dad is a current resident of Bangor Care Home. He has dementia and finds verbal communication difficult these days. Myself and other family members visit regularly and have always found Dad to be clean, tidy, appropriately dressed and happy to see us. He appears to have a good relationship with
the nurses and care staff. No matter which member of staff we speak to, they all seem to be up to date with his current needs. Staff are always courteous, well-informed, pleasant to deal with and happy to help with any suggestions. As a family, we are very happy with the levels of care provided to Dad. The home environment is always clean and tidy, decor and the garden could benefit from updating and that is the only reason for four rather than five stars. No one wants to watch their relatives decline to the point of needing 24-hour specialist nursing care and we are very grateful to the current staff for their kindness, compassion and knowledgeable care in sometimes challenging circumstances.

My mother passed away recently in Bangor Care Home, and I wanted to say how much I appreciated the professionalism and compassion of the staff. The care and attention my Mum received in Bangor was remarkable. She couldn’t have have been in better hands. I want to take this opportunity to thank all
the workers at Bangor Care Home for the care and kindness they showed both me and my Mum. I’ll always be grateful for this. The final question in the questionnaire below asks about "value for money". I honestly don't know how you put a price on human care, and comfort, and dignity in old age. There is no market value or monetary measurement that can stand in for a care worker sitting by your Mum's bed, comforting her at the end of her life. It's as immeasurable as it is priceless. Thank you.

My dad loves this home, loves the staff and sitting in the cinema room. Everyone at the home is friendly and helpful. Every time I visit, I get offered a cup of tea and biscuit. My dad says he would not live anywhere else.

My partner has been a resident for approximately 8 years and I have had nothing but help and kindness from the staff. If there are any problems the staff phone and let me know and I appreciate their help.
30 July 2018
Staff are friendly and competent. He is clearly well looked after and there's a lot of activities available. Good at treating him despite a rather difficult medical condition.
22 March 2018
Definitely not the place it was when my mum first moved in there. Lack of staff. Lack of care. Lack of everything. A couple of members of staff appeared to care. Residents are approached put into a wheelchair and taken out of the room to the bathroom/ dining room or wherever without one word being
spoken to them. They are left a cup of tea on their table. That cup of tea is then collected 10 mins later. No help or encouragement is given. If they haven't drunk their tea. Tough. But that's about the height of it. Wouldn't and haven't recommended.
28 July 2017
I live in Bangor Care Home and I love living here.
I get to go out to Easons where I get my Spectator and get to go to Kook after where I get my cappuccinos.
