The activities team at Manton Heights Care Centre continues to provide all excellent service for the residents. There are visits/activities etc on an ongoing basis. I'm aware the job can be frustrating at times but all the individuals within the team give of their best and provide a framework for
entertainment and development.

All the carers (day and night staff) are exceptionally conscientious in their roles. The kitchen staff provide tasty and nourishing meals with plenty of variety. The unit manager is efficient and very personable. The therapists know their end users well and cater for their needs whilst encouraging
engagement and they get good results. My husband has made very good progress.

Loved my stay at this magnificent facility - I was a resident for 14 weeks. I feel very fortunate to receive care in this excellent facility. All the staff were very friendly and supportive. It was like being home from home. Catering was excellent. Highly recommend it.

I have visited mum the last three days and the care, love and respect she receives from all staff has been heartwarming, their professionalism and genuine care for her is so reassuring for both mum and all our family, thank you to the Carlton team for your ongoing support giving mum her dignity at
such a difficult time.

Another lovely and well-done Christmas event. The team have as usual put on something for everyone and I can't thank Melissa and her team enough for making our granddaughter feel so special again.

Mum has been here for 6 months the level of care she receives from all the staff is excellent they treat her with kindness and consideration and nothing is too much trouble. They make me feel welcome when i visit and always have time to discuss any concerns i have about her. The entertainment team
work so hard to engage the residents in everything they do their energy and enthusiasm is excellent. I saw a few homes in my search but this one felt perfect. As mum says they are all lovely here im very lucky to be here.

Since visiting Manton Heights more frequently the past few months due to personal circumstances, I have witnessed a positive transformation with new management and a height end variety of activities and excellent care. Meals seem to have improved and relations are good between staff and relatives.
It's been a pleasure getting to know other residents and their families in Maulden in particular!

Shakira has truly been a shining star within the Activities Team. Her dedication, energy and genuine care for the residents make such a positive difference every single day. She goes above and beyond to ensure that everyone feels included valued and engaged in every activity she does. What stands
out most about Shakira is her incredible patience and kindness. She takes the time to listen, support and encourage each resident no matter their needs or mood. Her calm compassionate approach brings comfort and joy to everyone around her. Shakira's kindness also extends to residents families and visitors. She always welcomes everyone with a smile and makes you feel instantly at home. Her thoughtful and friendly nature leaves a lasting impression on everyone she meets. Thank you lovely

Very warm and welcoming. My uncle was enjoying his afternoon doing activities that were put on and socialising was great. Melissa, who was doing the activities, was amazing. So warm and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble! Overall was lovely to see him happy, smiley and being taken care of.

We have found Manton Heights Care Centre to be very welcoming to our mother and all of the visiting family. The place is calm and the staff are kind and caring. The activities and resources are many and varied and also inclusive to non residents, which is lovely.

The caring, kindness of the staff here has helped Mum settle much more quickly than we expected. They have got to know her very well and are very quick to sense if anything is making her anxious. Staff always act quickly to make sure she gets what she needs, whether that's helping to find lost
property or calling an ambulance. Thank you.

I have been visiting my friend at Manton Heights for the past 3 years and always found the staff very helpful and friendly! My friend is always clean and tidy with hair washed. Very nice atmosphere.

I was at Manton Heights ABI unit for a number of months.
Care provided at the ABI unit by all members of caring, therapy, catering and management staff was excellent and friendly at all times. I felt I was listened to and my individual requirements were always considered.
My many initial
"problems" were dealt in a caring and understanding manner and assisted me to achieve my various goals culminating in being able to be discharged to independent living.

My husband came into Manton Heights ABI Unit in March 2025 after suffering a stroke in January. From the moment he came in, the staff could not have been any better, they were always kind to both my husband and I, and despite what must be a challenging job they were always upbeat and encouraging,
nothing ever seemed to be too much for them. The physios, OT and therapists are all very helpful and kept us up to date with progress throughout his stay.
The food provided was plentiful and varied and it was great to see so many home cooked dishes, cakes, trifles etc of a high quality and they catered for my somewhat fussy husband!
He made such good progress whilst in the home and I am glad to be in such a good position on his return home.
Thank you to everyone on the team.

The activities team at Manor Heights Care Centre provide an excellent service for the residents. The daily activities available and with a range of social interaction between residents, relative, staff and routine providers. This can only be to the benefit of the residents ensure a positive and
welcoming environment.

My mother was fortunate to have been offered a place at the ABI Unit following a stroke in March 2025. The care and encouragement she received during her stay was excellent, as a family we couldn't have asked for more. Mum's age was against her and she was unable to participate fully in the program
but the staff did all they could to encourage her rehabilitation for which we were very grateful.

I find the staff and carers to be most friendly and I have joined in with some of the daily activities with my mum of which I found enjoyable and very nice the way the carers encourage and support the residents to take part in the given activity for that day.

Our sister has been a resident in the ABI unit since April 2025 and has flourished in her rehabilitation.
The rehab team have helped her make great progress with psychology, speech & Language,
Physio & OT.
The care staff have been always very welcoming and give patients time care and attention
when needed and we remain very grateful to know she is safe and being well cared for.
Thank you.

We recently attend the family easter event and can honestly say that the activity team really make such a great effort not only for the residents, but also for the families. Kitchen staff always put on such a good spread and everything is very tasty.
The activities team really put everything into
the events and include everyone.
Please keep it up. so nice to see different generations being made to feel welcome.
