Thank you for your feedback - We aim to have our home fully staffed by our own team and I was sorry to hear that on the few occasions we had agency night nurses that they were not as caring as expected. I will look into this as I want to ensure that we always deliver the highest quality of care to all our residents day and night.

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.931) out of 10 for Barchester 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.931 for Barchester Manor Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (231 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 248 Ratings = 4.931
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 Barchester Manor Care Home is based on 21 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, which has been reached with 21 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.

Job Title: General Manager

Hello, my name is Helen, and I am the General Manager here at The Manor. Welcome to our website!
I have vast experience in Home management and I really enjoy managing a luxury home. I feel that it is extremely important to offer a premium service so our residents have a wonderful experience.
Managing a care home is very rewarding and really gives you the opportunity to be part of a big extended family. Quality of care and life enrichment are driving factors in the management and leadership of a home manager. I believe in developing staff and services to support a fulfilling life and career.
I have worked as a nurse for 30 years and have been lucky enough to have worked in Australia. I have emergency care experience and care manager experience from the last 15 years in both Somerset and Hampshire.
I recently relocated from Hampshire. I am a keen gardener, love to travel and spend time with my two daughters.
My passion is ensuring that our residents live their life to the fullest and I look forward to welcoming you to our home to see this first-hand.
