While mum was at Manor House she was always treated with care kindness and respect, by all the staff and management. Nothing was too much trouble for them, they would always contact us with any problems or anything they thought we should know, and were always there to update us on mums situations and
wellbeing. We would like to think all the staff and management at Manor House for the care, love and support they gave mum and us while she was with them. Many thanks to you all.

In the time mum spent at Manor House she was treated with kindness and respect by all staff and management. Nothing was too much trouble even though mum was a nightwalker. All staff were willing and able to respond to any questions asked. We were always updated/inform on mum situation and wellbeing.
Many thanks to all staff for the care, love and support.

Reply from Yuliya Grenyer, Care Manager at The Manor House

My dad left hospital in a terrible state. He was anxious, unhappy and distressed. Within 24 hours the change in him has been amazing. Since being admitted to The Manor House he is much happier, says the food is great (he is quite fussy), he has slept and the staff are absolutely lovely and nothing is
too much trouble for them. I was so worried about leaving him there but I needn't have worried. The relief I feel knowing he is in safe hands and is being treated so well is very reassuring.

I was extremely happy with the effort and hard work, all staff at The Manor House helped to make Mum's 90th birthday a day to remember with dancing, singing, a wonderful musician, beautiful cake, lunch and buffet. Thanks to the chef. Staff and residents joined in to make it a wonderful day for Mum,
her family and residents. Thank you for all your hard work, it was very much appreciated. Team leader came in on day off to celebrate Mum's birthday, thanks to all staff for a wonderful day.

I have resided in The Manor House for just over two years. The staff are all knowledgable to my needs and most have good humour. My food is to a good standard and kept to routine. If I wanted to go up to the lounge I could join in but choose not to.

My father was admitted, by the hospital, in February for assessment. He did not want to go into any home for any length of time and had maintained this view for a very long time. So after a few weeks, it was a completely welcome surprise to find that he enjoyed it so much that he wanted to stay. For
me, this change along with support from the manager during the assessment period was amazing. My father is now at Manor House permanently and I am delighted, as is my father.
The staff are lovely with him and he is encouraged to keep himself and his room looking tiptop. The facilities are just what my father needs and the activities are perfect with dancing and singing at the top of his list. I know now that I can relax; he is in safe, caring hands.

Manor House Care Home has been very helpful to my grandad since arriving. His overall health and mood has improved. His room could be more updated and a bigger one would be preffered but it's clean and acceptable. Food is great. Grandad has settled well here. Staff are very nice and helpful. The receptionist
and manager are great and approachable.

As care homes go, The Manor House is one of the better ones. With all places like this, a little refurbishment is needed. The people that work there are very kind and trustworthy.

My mother went to his care home in a situation of crisis. She had fairly advanced dementia and is in a wheelchair. I would not have chosen the home as it is a converted building and not really suitable. As I am not her POA, I cannot change the situation. I also live 4-5 hours drive away and can only
visit every 4-6 weeks. It is difficult for me to provide a fair assessment. I can say my mother always seems content and well cared for and the staff always caring and welcoming. Like many care homes, the manager has changed frequently in the last couple of years. The stresses of coping with Covid which the staff managed well.

Our brother-in-law was looked after in the care home for almost two years. We were impressed with how kind and caring the staff were. Whoever we spoke to either on the phone or in-person was patient, kind, helpful and understanding. Our brother-in-law settled quickly and was happy despite suffering
various health problems. We were grateful for the way he was looked after.

My mother was placed here as she needed more care. I have been very impressed by how clean it is, the care my mother receives, how clean she is and there is always someone checking on her. Her room is warm, clean and spacious. Mum seems happy here and anything I am concerned about is promptly dealt
with. The staff are lovely too.

My mothers 92nd Birthday, the care home arranged a little party with a beautiful cake with candles (not 92). Mum has constant UTI and does get confused, but the home keeps on top of these episodes so she can participate in the entertainment days. Most of the regular staff are good at communicting with
mum and share a joke with her.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.500)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.500) out of 10 for The Manor House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.500 for The Manor House is calculated as follows: ( (78 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 130 Ratings = 4.5

  • 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 House is based on 11 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 11 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.
