During mums time here we always felt very supported and informed. We always felt she was well looked after and cared for, and she always looked well presented! She was always treated with respect and dignity even up to the end. She enjoyed helping out a little and made friends both residents and staff
while she was here. Thanks to all for making her time here happy, comfortable, safe and looked after.

My mother did things at the care home that she never did before, she loved crafting, painting and colouring. She felt well looked after, and she loved to help out. The home allowed her to do things she loved to do. The care was outstanding, and we felt so safe with her at the Digby.

My mother has been a resident since October and I couldn't be more pleased with the quality of care that she has consistently experienced in the time that she has lived here. The staff show great attentiveness and compassion in their care and have done a fantastic job in helping mum recover from the
fractured hip she sustained in June 2024. I receive regular communication from the home regarding mums health which is appreciated. Digby Manor is a little gem. Mum is extremely happy there and I happy for her to be there.

Reply from Jane Farr, Manager at Digby Manor Care Home

Thank you for your lovely review of Digby Manor. We appreciate your kind words about the attentiveness and compassion shown by the staff.

We have been really pleased with how the staff look after my dad. He has been residing at Digby Manor since August 2020 and the level of care means his dementia is stable. He loves the staff and is always smiling. They encourage him to take part in activities and the home is always beautifully decorated
throughout the year especially at Christmas, but also for other events for example Halloween and Remembrance Sunday. Dad is always well dressed and likes the meals that are served. We would highly recommend this home. The management are extremely involved in the best interests of the residents and very approachable. We are very lucky to have our dad so well looked after.

Thank you for your wonderful review of Digby Manor. Dad is very settled and loves life at Digby Manor. He does indeed love the staff and his smile is very infectious.

We love to see you and your sister visit so often and see all the wonderful things we do at Digby Manor for our amazing residents.

We feel so fortunate to have found Digby Manor for our dad. We had barely started looking for a care home, after his dementia had deteriorated to a point whereby we couldn't manage the risks any longer, before we found Digby Manor. The care is exceptional, excellent on every front, and the staff all
maintain the kind of consistent standard of care that any family would hope for, especially when having to make the decision to have their loved one looked after outside of their family environment. It's a great home run by genuinely kind and caring people. Long may it continue. Thank you, sincerely and with gratitude.

It never ceases to amaze me how the quality of care is always maintained at the highest standard. The care afforded to the residents is carried out, nothing required is ever overlooked. The carers always react to a vocational standard, never as if it was just a job. My partner is receiving the best

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.987)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.987) out of 10 for Digby Manor Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.987 for Digby Manor Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (296 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 300 Ratings = 4.987

  • 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 Digby Manor Care Home is based on 25 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 26 registered maximum number of service users is 5.2, which has been reached with 25 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.

Jane started her career in a nursing home over 20 years ago and worked her way through her qualifications completing level 2, 3, 4 and leadership and management.
Jane always wanted to care for people even as a child and always wanted to help the less fortunate. During Jane’s studies her tutor advised her to go to University to study ‘nursing’, however Jane had other ideas and really wanted to make a difference.
As a child, Jane, was always around people with learning disabilities whom she would share holidays and social events. Jane felt this was the area that she wanted to pursue and to support people to make a difference. Jane worked her way up to become a Registered Manager.
In August 2017, Jane was appointed the Care Home Manager of Digby Manor and has been part of a magical experience since. Jane feels very passionate about her role and making a difference through ‘Good Quality Care.’ And so the journey continues for Digby Manor to be ‘outstanding’ in all areas by the regulator, CQC.
