Security and safeguarding generally food. The staff ID badges could add an extra budget-friendly layer of security. Impressively funds not wasted trying to impress visitors too much. I have to assume that the fabric of the building is safe. Good variety of activities. Christmas party 2024 is brilliant!
The staff was friendly and welcoming. They are polite and good-humoured engaging with residents and visitors alike. Vegetarian food is limited and uninspiring. Research and imagination could greatly improve the variety and nourishment of these meals and not necessarily increase the budget. Some areas for improvement but generally the care 'element' care; well done.

Our mother was a resident of Truscott Manor for just over two months, following her discharge from hospital. She was suffering from dementia and her mobility was severely impaired. During that time, she received care of the very highest standard from all of the professional and dedicated staff, until
her recent passing. We are consoled in the knowledge that her last weeks were spent in a warm and caring environment, where the nursing and care teams looked after her every need with kindness, understanding, dignity and compassion. Our sincere gratitude goes to everyone, (management, nurses, carers, catering staff etc.), for all their help and support at a most difficult time.

Reply from Soraya Capon, Administrator at Truscott Manor Care Home

It was an absolute pleasure to care for your Mum during her time here; and we are so appreciative of your kind words. I will pass this onto the team - thank you.

My beloved wife required palliative care and was admitted to Truscott Manor in April where she was to spend the last six months of her life. We couldn't have hoped for a greater level of 24-hour attention that she received from all levels of staff (nurses, carers, cleaners, kitchen, laundry, admin,
etc.) during her stay. At all times care was provided with a level of professionalism, understanding and compassion that was of great comfort to my wife (and me) at a very difficult time. I have nothing but the greatest gratitude and respect for everybody at Truscott Manor who were involved in the care of my late wife, whereby she was able to spend her final months in dignity and comfort.

Excellent care home. All carers are very kind. Always welcoming. Beautifully clean. Thank you. Only one thing is not enough accessibility to the garden, needs a path for wheelchair users. Would be a huge benefit for service users and visitors.

Reply from Jane OBrien, Administrator at Truscott Manor Care Home

Thank you very much for your kind review. The comments will be shared with the team and the director, who will look at the feasibility of installing a garden path for wheelchair users.

What makes this a special home is the entire staff. They are amazing! Nothing is too much trouble for them. Always smiling and friendly. The nursing care is wonderful. Mum has been very well cared for throughout. A nice clean home with no unpleasant smells and set in beautiful grounds.

My father has been at Trusscott Manor for nearly 2 years. In all that time I have found his care has been excellent. He will be 99 in April. I have found all the staff to be very good at their tasks and always friendly to me, my family and most important of all my Father.

Reply from Soraya Capon, Administrator at Truscott Manor Care Home

Thank you so much for your positive review. We are so happy and privileged to have been looking after your Dad over the last two years and we will continue to do so with love and care.

No stimulation, no encouragement to integrate, nothing, absolutely nothing, it's an absolute travesty of neglect. I outlined the dangers of no staff in the room. Alert pads were in place when I gave advanced, "warning" of my visit but when I just popped in, they were nowhere to be seen. I am not surprised
that visits must now be booked in advance which, I cannot do, hiding any form of lacking in care is abuse!

Reply from Jhoana Manalus, Home Manager at Truscott Manor Care Home

Thank you for your review. We take your feedback seriously and are sad that you feel this way about the care we provided to your relative who was with us in May 2022, returning to live with us permanently in July 2022. We responded to your 2023 review and all processes were followed to evidence that care is being safely delivered to your relative; this involved safeguarding, local authority and CQC. A best interest meeting was held wherein you were invited but unfortunately unable to attend. Care needs can change and our competent team of nurses, carers, wellbeing coordinator, physiotherapist, and ancillary work together to ensure that this is reflected in person-centered care plans. We will arrange another best interest meeting with the social worker, other NOK's, yourself and the team to discuss current care needs and management, tease out your concerns and create an action plan so that you can be assured that your relative is getting the proper and safe care they require and deserve.

My husband has only been a resident for two weeks. During that time, both he and myself have been treated with courtesy and kindness, and made to feel welcome. The grounds at the back are a real joy for those hoping to spot wildlife - foxes and deer in particular, and there is a panoramic view from
the lounge window. The staff are always friendly and treat all residents with care and dignity. The only issue I have had is with the laundry - possibly partly my fault for relying on marker pen instead of sewing in name tapes! A real bind but worth it in the long run, as a 'permanent' marker washes out very quickly. Personal care and cleanliness are treated as high priority for all residents so far as I can tell. All in all, I am happy for my husband to be at Truscott Manor - the building may be old, but the staff more than make up for it.

Reply from Jhoana Manalus, Manager at Truscott Manor Care Home

Thank you so much for your warm review. The Truscott Manor team are so honoured to be able to look after all our residents with genuine care and dignity, making them find and feel at home with us. We are also grateful for your family's support not just for John but for the Home and the team.

Mum has been living at Truscott Manor since October 2021 when she was discharged there from hospital during the pandemic without much say from us, her family. Though the choice of home was out of our hands, Truscott has proven itself to be a calm and compassionate environment with very high standards
of nursing and care. The nurses do a great job in getting to know the individual needs and issues for each resident and we are consulted on anything that the medical staff feel is relevant or needs monitoring. All staff across the board seem to have a caring attitude and take an interest individually in the residents - whether they are managers, nurses, carers, cleaners, admin or kitchen staff. The activities for residents have increased since the end of the pandemic and the activities manager and staff in general work really hard to foster engagement and put on social events, including summer events in the lovely garden.

My mother has been a resident of Truscott Manor for 10 years. She has received excellent care from the very friendly staff. All her care needs are met and she remains generally well. If on occasion she becomes unwell I am usually kept informed. Truscott is always clean and tidy. Overall, in my experience,
I believe Truscott Manor to be a home that I would happily recommend.

My dad was here for palliative care, and he spoke highly of the staff and of the building itself. The staff were always polite, helpful, caring and professional whenever I spoke with them. I was kept updated and was spoken to with kindness and understanding. Thank you to everyone there for making the
time my dad had, comfortable and not alone.

As we arrived at Truscott's front door, we briefly chatted to a family who had just lost their loved one, a resident for 18 months. They had nothing but praise for the team and felt they'd given their relative the best possible care. I too have nothing but praise and gratitude. We are six months into
our journey and one-half of the couple has passed away at the home. I was there at the time and the whole process was handled exceedingly well. Our much loved remaining relative is nearing her end but always has beautifully combed hair and is lovingly tucked in blankets. The staff have love in their hearts and wisdom about life that the rest of us could do well to learn from.

Truscott Manor is a lovely home, staff are friendly and always keep me informed in case of any problems or challenging circumstances. When I visit my sister, she is usually quiet but content. Her care is very good. My ultimate desire is for her to feel and be happy. I would willingly recommend this
home to my colleagues and friends.

Mum was a resident at Truscott Manor for a year and a half. During this time, she was always treated with kindness, respect and professionalism by all members of staff. The nursing home is well run by the nursing managers, who are always available, if you need them. The environment is homely and not
corporate, with beautiful dining rooms and gardens which are well looked after. My brother also fell ill during this time and he too chose Truscott Manor for his care. His needs were complex and the carers and nurses were all exceptionally well-trained and capable to look after him. Again, their kindness and professionalism prevailed. Thank you Truscott for all your help, it is so much appreciated and your staff are one in a million.

The team are doing a great job, Mum now knows the carers by name and is settled. Her care needs have changed and developed and the staff have been very good at adapting in just the right measure to help Mum feel supported but not overly 'fussed over'. The team have a good relationship with the local
GP and assist with getting involvement when required, to keep medication appropriate avoiding over medication or just adding new by encouraging reviews.
The home offers good space and has lovely grounds with wildlife that the residents can see all year round from the lounge or enjoy in warmer weather. Mum has also got to know many of the other residents and has her routines with different groups.

My mother is in Truscott Manor Home following a number of falls which meant she could not look after herself. She is nearly 98, completely deaf with poor eyesight and a type 1 diabetic. I am very pleased with the care she is receiving and the staff are very professional and helpful. If there are any
problems, they contact me very quickly. She seems quite happy there and I can recommend this establishment to anyone looking for a caring home for their relations.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.500)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.500) out of 10 for Truscott Manor Care Home 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 Truscott Manor Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (106 Excellents x 5) + (50 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 168 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 Truscott Manor Care Home is based on 14 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 39 registered maximum number of service users is 7.8, which has been reached with 14 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.
