The Manor Exminster is a grand 17th century Georgian listed manor house that is situated in half an acre of grounds, in the pretty village of Exminster.

The property was built by the diocese of Exeter for the local Rector and his family. The home was converted into a residential care home in the mid-80s and an extension was added in 2004 that added a state of the art kitchen, more bedrooms and increased the size of the dining room.

Residents are encouraged to relax in privacy and dignity at this friendly residential care home.

Good afternoon Anne C. Thank you for taking the time to leave this review of your experience with our Care Team and Care Home at The Manor in Exminster, Devon. It's great to read that you are always greeted in a friendly way with our care team being eager to help and that you are kept informed of the various activities and entertainers. I note a couple of 3 star ratings - we always aim for 5 but accept that we may get some 4's but threes do concern us:) If you have any concerns with regards to the facilities, activities, rooms or food and drink please do let us know, probably easiest to contact the Care Home Manager, or e-mail me.

My auntie arrived in this home a couple of weeks ago from hospital, the staff are very attentive to her needs and she seems to be settling in well. They provide entertainment, some she maybe joins in, others she just listens in on what's going on, she is partially sighted. I visit my friends in homes
and this is a good one.

I continue to be deeply impressed by this Care Home. The new Manager, has been hugely helpful in addressing any needs my mother has. The rest of the team are brilliant and compassionate and deliver excellent quality care. My mother's quality of life has improved so much since she moved in to the Manor.
We appreciate particularly how personalised the care is and how residents are celebrated as 'whole people' with all their different life experiences. Birthdays at the Manor are truly a celebration. Thank you all for all you do.

It's really lovely to read that your father has settled well and that our care team are caring, attentive and respectful, and keeping you informed. Moving into a care home is a big step for everybody involved, of course for the resident themselves but also for their family and friends.

The decision to put Mum into a care home was made much easier by the warm and friendly advice given by staff. Mum has settled into her new environment quickly and is enjoying the company and safety the home has to offer.

We visited my brother-in-law this weekend. He appears frail but in better health than before he became a resident at The Manor. I appreciate that it might be difficult to manage, but it would be good for him to be taken outside for fresh air as a change of scenery sometimes. The staff seemed friendly
and respectful. This is very much appreciated.

Reply from Nathan Stone, Director. at The Manor Exminster

Good afternoon. Thank you for this feedback in relation to your experience with our Care Team and Care Home at The Manor in Exminster. It's really lovely to read that your brother-in-law, though frail, is in better health than when he became a resident at The Manor. We certainly do encourage our residents to go outside to enjoy the secure garden area or the central courtyard where many enjoy being involved with growing plants in the raised beds. The Manor also has the ability to book one of the two company mini busses throughout the year. Please do speak with the Care Home Manager if you have any concerns that your brother-in-law may not be getting as much opportunity to spend time outside as he would like. Thank you again for your feedback. Kindest regards.

She is becoming far less mobile than she was a year ago. She is forgetting more stuff and is chairbound. I think the residents would all benefit from daily chair-based exercises - arms, legs, neck, back - to strengthen and aid circulation and mobility. The staff are kind and helpful.

Hello Elizabeth B. Thank you for taking the time to leave this feedback in relation to your experience with our Care Team and Care Home at The Manor in Exminster. I note your comments with regards to your friend's declining mental and physical condition. In all of our homes we offer a full schedule of activities, these include mobility based events - some specifically mobility-focused and others where mobility is a secondary benefit i.e. gardening, games etc. We also encourage residents to be as independent as possible and will encourage them to walk, carry out personal care etc themselves as far as it is safe to do so. We are also, of course, in regular contact with outside care professionals in relation to all of our residents' care needs. If you have any particular concerns please do, of course, speak to our Care Home Manager and we may be able to update the bespoke care package. Thank you for your kind words about our care team being kind and helpful. Kindest regards.

My mother continues to be very happy at The Manor. She enjoys the varied activities on offer. We always are very welcomed by the staff and kept updated regarding her health. Her room is kept spotlessly clean. I would recommend The Manor for any future residents. My mother has lived here for 14 years
now!

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.570)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.570) out of 10 for The Manor Exminster is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.570 for The Manor Exminster is calculated as follows: ( (192 Excellents x 5) + (109 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 314 Ratings = 4.57

  • 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 The Manor Exminster is based on 28 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 25 registered maximum number of service users is 5, which has been reached with 28 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.
