My mother had four weeks respite care from January through to February.
I was extremely impressed with the level of care she received during her stay and the friendliness and efficiency of the staff. Nothing was too much trouble.
More like a hotel than a care home.

A friend, resident, elderly with little vision, poor hearing and a tendency to be forgetful was unable to attend a colleague's funeral service. This was distressing but the staff at Manson House were able at short notice to download a video thus giving comfort.

My father-in-law has been at Manson House for five years. He loves being there and he is well looked after. All the staff are so friendly and caring. He's made good friends with other residents. The food is cooked fresh and there is a choice of menu. His room is spacious with an ensuite and a view of
the pretty garden that is kept beautifully.

Reply from Ruth French, Director at Manson House

Thank you so much for sharing your considerable experience of Manson House and for highlighting the lovely atmosphere and social opportunities enjoyed by your father-in-law, this is lovely to hear! We are very proud of our fabulous garden, which provides such a good and stimulating outlook for residents.

The resident is very happy at Manson House. It is a very warm and comfortable environment. The resident has recently lost his wife and the response from all staff has been fantastic, compassionate and caring. Would certainly recommend Manson House to others.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Manson House was identified as the most suitable for our needs by local health professionals. This exceptional care home allayed all my carer concerns, establishing trust through a professional and rare quality of management visible in the longevity of service, contented discipline and respect for the
residents and each other amongst the staff. The maturity and experience enable an understanding of fiercely independent elderly people. Time management for drinks, meals and medication means that there are a minimum of 13 visits to the room a day. There is a buzzer around the neck, on the bed and in the bathroom. Staff give kind reassurance not to be embarrassed if help is required, not just in an emergency. All these qualities together with freshly made, delicious, nutritious and attractively presented food and social interaction ensure a level of health and wellbeing that has given me a peace of mind I did not expect. The best of life care requirements are surpassed by Manson House.

I have found the home very pleasant and one I am happy to stay in. My son and relations are close by. My daughter, who is not, would be pleased to know that I am able to settle in. Never been in or visited a car home before. I shall love walking round the garden and seeing plants that I had in my own
garden. I find this hard as it does bring back happy memories of times gone by.

Manson House is a good caring home. It is small enough to be homely and to get to know the staff well.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.855)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.855) out of 10 for Manson House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.855 for Manson House is calculated as follows: ( (202 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 235 Ratings = 4.855

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Manson House is based on 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 34 registered maximum number of service users is 6.8, which has been reached with 20 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
