I have went into Old Sarum Manor recently to visit a family friend. When I came to the home I was greeted by a very happy lady welcoming me to the home and advising me where my friend was staying and also said that I could help myself to a hot drink from the coffee machine and also the cake that was
by it (I had two slices of leman drizzle cake,) I did ask when the next batch was being made as I will make sure I am visiting again that day!
I was then shown to my friend, who was sat in an activity being held, he was sat there with the biggest smile on his face he has often said how much he loves it there.
The staff were so helpful. The atmosphere surrounding the home was amazing and comforting.
All residents seemed happy and cheerful!
The cleanliness was outstanding and did not smell like a "care home"
I will be back soon for another slice of cake!!! Or two!!

We moved Mum from another care home due to significant issues which have been flagged. Since Mum has been at Old Sarum Manor she is positive about the home in all aspects and the welfare and facilities are amazing. From the family perspective we are delighted with the manager and his team and the
effort they go to, to treat the residents as individuals and cater for their needs. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this home to others!

The staff are always friendly and welcoming when I visit and always keep me informed of any issues

I was very happy that my husband was well cared for during his two weeks respite care and would have no hesitation in recommending Old Sarum Care Home.

My husband has been in Old Sarum Care Home for just about a year now, and although he suffers from Parkinson's and dementia, he is, as far as I'm concerned, very happy where he is.
The carers who look after him are wonderful; he is helped daily with showers, shaving, toiletries, dressing, and most
importantly, he gets his tablets on time.
I couldn't wish for a better place for him to stay.

We couldn't be happier with the care our loved one receives here. The staff are genuinely kind and caring, always going the extra mile to make residents feel safe and valued. The environment is beautiful and peaceful-perfect for creating a sense of comfort and home. Their experience with dementia
care is clear, and it gives us real peace of mind. There's a great range of appropriate activities that keep residents engaged, and the overall community has such a warm, welcoming feel. What really sets it apart are the family events like the Mad Hatter's Easter Party and the Summer Spanish Fiesta. These thoughtful occasions create such special memories and bring everyone together. Communication with families is excellent-we're always kept informed and feel reassured. A truly exceptional place.

Our mother was a resident of Old Sarum Manor from February 2023 until May this year, when she passed away.
She and we could not have been happier with Old Sarum. She felt completely safe and well cared for throughout and was treated with real affection and thought throughout, which obviously meant
a great deal to us. The whole team were incredibly kind, professional and genuinely made her and our lives better. I'm not sure we could have hoped for more.

Our late mother lived at Old Sarum Manor for approximately six months leading up to her death in April 2025. Whilst she was tentative at first, she very quickly adjusted to life in the home, where all her needs were met, her health was closely monitored and she was kept safe & secure. In such a
short time, we, as a family, came to know many of the members of staff, who were always attentive and professional. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and our mother found life so much more bearable, given some challenging health issues, because of that. Reflecting back, and despite our loss, we have nothing but positive memories of Old Sarum Manor and the level of care provided. We would recommend this care home, without hesitation - it truly is a 'home from home'!

All staff are very friendly and welcoming and nothing is to much trouble.
Management are always on hand to give support and information. Residents are always treated with dignity. As well as caring for there residents they are always there to support the families. Room's are bright and modern.
Communal areas are warm and welcoming. The food is very good with plenty of variety as are the drinks. There are plenty of activities to do if residents wish to join in.

My father recently turned 91 at the care home and my sister and myself were able to join my mother and father, along with our partners for a Sunday meal. The meal and the staff who waited on us were excellent. Many thanks to everyone who made it possible.

Soon visiting my dear friend during her stay at Old Sarum Manor, I was held back in shock by the look of the home and the welcome that I received from the staff. When entering the home it felt nothing like a care home more like a hotel! The staff seemed all happy and the atmosphere was so lifting.
My friend seems to be very happy here and looking forward to the rest of her stay here.
I stayed for lunch with her and the food tasted as good as it smelt. Can't find any fault from my visit.
If I'm asked do I know of anywhere, I will not be thinking twice about recommending your beautiful home.

My mother spent 2 weeks at Old Sarum Manor for respite care, following a short stay in the hospital. From the start of her stay to the end of her stay, all of the staff were very attentive and compassionate to her needs. The room she had was lovely, looking out onto the gardens. The menu was
extensive and well-cooked. As a family, we could not have a better experience. Thank you to all involved.

It was a great experience for my mother, she really enjoyed her stay here. Thanks for your hard work.

My mother originally came into the home for two weeks respite and stayed until she passed away on 1st February 2024. A couple of weeks prior to her falling so ill that she couldn't speak, she asked me if I was the one you put her into Old Sarum Manor, I replied 'Would I be in trouble if I had?' and
she said 'No, I just wanted to thank you.' I think this says it all! I want to thank all the team for the love and care they gave to my mother and for supporting me and my sisters through those last few days. Thank you all.

Staff are friendly and helpful, both to visitors and residents. It is like going into a hotel, smart and clean, the food always reads well on the board you can see what is planned for the day/week.

Mother has been at Old Sarum Manor for two and a half years. Placing your relative in care is extremely harrowing but from the start Old Sarum Manor has been first class. The environment is beautiful and the staff are attentive, caring and above all are truly dedicated to the resident's needs. It's
a lovely feeling to walk away and know that my Mum is in the best possible home. No hesitation in recommending it.

I wanted to write this review as my aunt has now been in Old Sarum Manor just over 3 months. We took time to consider all the care homes in Salisbury and were delighted to find such an amazing home. The team are so professional and supportive. One of the ladies gave us great confidence when she
showed us around and we couldn’t believe how lovely it was. One of the staff members helped us understand what was on offer and made it clear that they were fully committed to ensuring all her needs would be met. From the first day she moved in her life changed for the positive, her health has improved so much due to the care and attention from the team. Two other staff members have been dedicated and have provided excellent feedback on her medication. The food is amazing and she is now eating properly and has so much fun with the staff and other residents. We want to thank all the team for the great service provided. A big thanks for giving our aunt her life back, a quote from our aunt is.“It’s like a five-star hotel”

I am one of the UK's most senior academic medical practitioners with 40 years of experience in senior leadership in the politics of NHS services and the practical delivery of care nationally and internationally. My beloved wife died in this him two years ago from vascular dementia. The compassion
shown to her was beyond the call of duty. I have been here convalescing after fracturing my hip with super care and support. From my professional and personal knowledge of the care sector, I know that this home is one of the very best in the South West and across the UK. It deserves the highest rating and commendation for the quality of care it gives.
