  • Bentley Manor Care Home, Crewe
Welcome to Bentley Manor Care Home, located just north of Crewe town centre.

The home is ideally placed for the local community and those coming from Leighton Hospital and the surrounding areas.

This very popular purpose-built care home is spacious and modern and provides residential and nursing care and as well as care for those who suffer the impact of dementia on their lives and other mental health issues. The well trained, experienced and dedicated team are able to ensure such high levels of care because of the individual, tailor made care plans which are written in order to ensure that every detail of an individual’s care is recorded. Such ‘person centeredness’ is how the home achieves its high standards of quality of care. The value of such an approach cannot be understated.

Home cooked menus are on offer to residents and their visitors. Meals are cooked by the home's own chefs, with resident favourite meals reflected in menu choices. Start the day with a cooked breakfast if you wish or be tempted with traditional meals and desserts! Good food is very important and the chefs at Bentley Manor Care Home enjoy tempting residents to eat and drink well.

Most bedrooms are en-suite and have been recently redecorated with residents choosing the choice of colours and wallpapers. Lounges and dining rooms have also been decorated with residents' choices in mind, residents spend a lot of time together and they team want them to have homely and comfortable places to spend their time.

Group activities, music and entertainment, as well as individual time with residents, is planned by the dedicated activity coordinator ensuring that resident days are varied and interesting. Gathering information from residents and families regarding favourite music, hobbies and interests ensure that the activity programme for each resident can be ‘tailor made’.

My mother has been a resident here for ten years now. I have always found the staff to be caring and kind. The place, in general, is clean and with none of the unpleasant smells that can go with care homes. Although I have never eaten the food, it always looks edible and varied.

Bentley Manor is just so homely and welcoming. The staff are very caring and nothing is too much trouble for them. My cousin is a very private person, but the carers always try to get her to join in.

I have been highly impressed by Bentley Manor. The home has a welcoming and friendly feeling from the moment you arrive. This atmosphere is radiated even through the window visits, which the home strive to make possible during recent circumstances. The staff are driven and are fully supportive of the
residents. The service which they provided for us was exemplary. The management team are incredibly supportive, approachable and friendly. The home appeared to be clean, tidy and safe. I would undoubtedly recommend Bentley Manor.

From the minute I walked through the door of Bentley Manor I was impressed. It was really clean and the staff was so friendly. The manager even cleared out a lounge so my husband could be comfortable in a larger room. The staff is brilliant with all the residents to which I witnessed first hand. I would
recommend Bentley Manor to anyone. My husband was really happy there for 18 months until he passed away on June 11th, 2020.

I came to live in Bentley Manor Care Home from the hospital, unable to look after myself in September 2019. Not knowing what to expect, the kind, warm welcome on arrival was comforting. The day and night carers and nursing staff, along with every single person who is employed here are wonderful, most
kind at all times. My sincere grateful thanks to everyone. I look forward to each day at Bentley Manor.

My mum has been here for about 4-years, and she has had excellent care throughout. The staff are always patient, considerate, caring and friendly.
Unfortunately, we cannot visit at the moment due to Coronavirus, but the staff have managed to keep the home virus-free and have still taken the time to
contact me and my sister to update us. They have encouraged her to talk on the phone - no mean feat!
I would highly recommend to anyone looking for care for a loved one.
Well done, all the staff!

My Nana moved into Bentley Manor recently and I have seen a massive change in her. We were very nervous about Mana going into a nursing home but right from the start when the managers came to visit Nana at the hospital they put us at ease. The care staff are amazing and have helped my Nana to be independent
as possible. My Nana is talking more and her wellbeing has improved dramatically. The home is lovely and from the managers to the care staff, to the cleaners, they make me feel at ease and they always welcome me. What a fantastic team.

Just wanted to mention how wonderful the staff are here at Bentley Manor Care Home, my mother is a resident here and she is always comfortable and happy in the welcoming environment that the staff tirelessly provide.
The team are great at providing continual communication to family members about any
changes in care, and the staff always ensure that the residents have a dignified stay. My mother always comments how she feels at home.
The standard of care is exemplary even considering the everyday difficulties that are faced by dementia patient.
I would recommend this home to anyone and I want to thank the staff for all their hard work.

The staff in the dementia unit that care for my mum, do it in a respectful and caring way. The layout of the dementia unit suits my mum's needs as there are only a few residents in each living area.
The staff are very good at communicating with me at home about any changes to Mum's care and reporting
any concerns they have.

My husband always seems settled. He always looks clean, tidy and his bedroom is lovely. He seems to love his food. The only concern I have, his glasses and slippers go missing. I have put his name on them but never been found. I understand things go missing as he does wander from room to room. Otherwise,
I am very happy with the attention he gets.

Reply from Alison Foreman, Commercial Director at Bentley Manor Care Home

Thank you very much for your review. Things being 'mislaid' can be an issue when residents are up and around the home, although we encourage our residents to be active and take every opportunity to move around rather than sit all day. This can result in items being left behind in any number of places and we do our level best to reunite items with owners, but things do not immediately come to light, unfortunately. We are always concerned when glasses go missing, as being without them is certainly not helpful. Please be sure to speak to Lee, the Home Manager, to gain reassurance as to how the team ensure that your husband's glasses are always available to him and identified. Kind regards.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.546)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.546) out of 10 for Bentley Manor Care Home 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 10 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 4.921 for Bentley Manor Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (106 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 114 Ratings = 4.921

  • 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 4.625 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bentley Manor Care Home is based on 10 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 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.625

  • 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.
