  • Gotton Manor Care Home, Taunton
Gotton Manor care home provides residential, nursing, palliative care and dementia care for up to 60 older people, from respite stays to long-term residence.

This beautiful home was once a manor house; it has been refurbished with tasteful, modern decoration and continues to be surrounded by acres of countryside. It is a 10-minute drive into the town of Taunton, Somerset, where residents can access shops, amenities and a railway station.

Each bedroom is single, most have en-suite facilities and all have television points. The lounge still features the manor’s original open hearth and a piano. There are plenty of sociable dining areas which look out onto the rolling countryside.

Residents are supported to pursue their own hobbies or join in with group activities and outings. Food is home-cooked and nutritionally balanced, with dietary requirements catered for and support in eating and drinking if needed.

Residents are encouraged to personalise their rooms, bringing with them a little piece of 'home' with them, when they move in.

I have not been here long, but I am settling in very well. My friends and family come to lunch frequently and we have our own table. We all enjoy this and they are made very welcome.

Mum was admitted to Gotton Manor Care Home over three years ago. Whilst able she participated in all activities and trips provided by Gotton Manor. Her needs were catered for over the past two months her condition has deteriorated due to her medical condition. The care she has received has been excellent.
Whilst visiting the staff have supported us. I cannot criticise, at all the nursing care.
The nurses and care workers have behaved in a most professional way. They have worked efficiently whilst being kind and considerate to my mum and our needs.

Manor seems to be fine. Staff helpful and caring. Only here one week so it is very hard to make comments but so far very good. Mum is finding it quite hard to adjust but seems ok so far, it is a big move for her.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.787)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.787) out of 10 for Gotton Manor Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 26 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 4.787 for Gotton Manor Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (245 Excellents x 5) + (49 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 301 Ratings = 4.787

  • 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 Gotton 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, 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.

Janine

Janine Marshall

Job Title: Registered Manager

Joined: 2016

Hello, my name is Janine. I am the Home Manager at Gotton Manor Care Home.


I started my career in care over 20 years ago, working as a care assistant in a local nursing home. Over the years, I have worked in community care, nursing homes, and residential homes, and whilst I worked for a care agency, I did HCA shifts in hospitals and hospices.


I have put my all into working my way up the ranks and I have been working in supervisory and Deputy Managers posts over the last 10 years.


Since working with our fantastic team at Gotton Manor Care Home, I have felt nothing but welcomed and supported both in-house and by the rest of the Harbour Healthcare team.


I am passionate about our residents receiving person-centred care and I am very proud of our beautiful home and amazing views.


Lisa

Lisa Moxon

Job Title: Deputy Home Manager

Hi, my name is Lisa. I am a Senior Carer at Gotton Manor Care Home.


Care work was a new career for me. I was a little nervous at first but the training has been nothing but brilliant! Really supportive management too.


Whilst I've been at Harbour Healthcare (Gotton Manor Care Home) I have worked my way up to Senior Carer.


The Team really pulls together to make sure residents are our main priority.


No two days are the same and the residents make every day at work worthwhile.


It truly is a family community!


Patricia

Patricia Smith

Job Title: Administrator

Hi, my name is Pat. I am the Administrator at Gotton Manor Care Home.


I started my working career as a care home administrator when I moved from my home country to Somerset in 2000.


The administration has been in my life since I began work as a clerk, based in London in a well-known fashion store. In my time there I gained a lot of knowledge and experience working in different areas of the business from a bookkeeping clerk to a receptionist, travel clerk, secretary, press officer, training officer, and finally the supervisor of the international buying offices.


I then came down to Somerset, where I found a job as a Home Administrator. Little did I know that I would love being with and respecting older people as much as I do!


I recently joined Gotton Manor, where everyone has been so welcoming, friendly and very helpful to me from day one, from our staff and residents here at Gotton plus the staff who work in other parts of Harbour Healthcare.
