Mum has been at Bucklow Manor for a short time, but has settled really well. The staff are really kind, friendly and helpful. Nothing ever seems too much trouble.

I really can't fault Bucklow Manor Care Home. Since my aunt came to the home they have really looked after her. I have the feeling the staff genuinely love her and really take her care of her. Which is reassuring for the family that you have her best interest at heart. For that, we are very grateful.

I cannot express my gratitude for the way my aunt is being looked after and cared for at Bucklow Manor. The staff are very friendly and have a lovely caring attitude towards my aunty. I cannot praise the way all the staff look after my aunt enough, the home is very warming when you enter and everyone
can't do enough to assist you.

My dad has been a resident of Bucklow Manor Care Home for two years and prior to this, we used the respite care services here.
He is in late stages of dementia but is treated with care and dignity by all staff. Our family visit multiple times per week and we are always made to feel welcome and included
in the Bucklow family.

My mum is a long-term 5+ years resident at Bucklow Manor. Over that time the senior staff have been consistent and she's been well looked after. To put it simply, they've been so good with my mum, I can't praise them highly enough. Each time I visit I see the same faces and the staff are like family.
My mum has a lovely room with plenty of space. As I don't live locally, it's important to me that she's happy and comfortable and has people around her who will help and support her. The most telling thing was recently when she had a short spell in hospital, on her return she said 'I'm so glad to be home.' That says it all really, thanks Bucklow for all that you do.

Lovely, friendly and caring staff who have the time, understanding and patience that my friend needs. I'm always made very welcome and enjoy my visits. Any questions I have are answered promptly, giving me the confidence that they really know and understand her needs. It's such a comfort knowing that
my oldest friend is safe, well cared for and heard.

All staff are caring, and when we arrive, they always know where my mother-in-law is sitting. She is now settled in at the home, and we do not intend to move her to a home closer to us, as we originally intended.
The home is clean, warm and friendly. We have no doubt she is in the best place for her
needs.

My mum moved into Bucklow Manor Care Home a few weeks ago and we’re very impressed with how quickly she has settled into the home and how happy she is there. This can, most importantly, be down to the wonderful staff they have looking after her. They all have a smile and an upbeat nature which reassures
and comforts us all. Every time I visit I see the same familiar staff offering that continuity of care and building of strong relations with the residents. Compared to other care homes we've visited, it definitely feels more homely and warm.

We visited my auntie. She was sat out in her chair. She looked very clean and cared for, she had recently seen the hairdresser and had some make-up on. She was sat in the lounge with the other residents and was in high spirits. She seems very settled and is comfortable with the staff. The staff were
chatting about my aunt and had a good knowledge of her personality and preferences. Patients are cared for as individuals and not held to routine. Regular activities take place for stimulation.

My mum had a short respite, and I was very impressed by how happy she was when I came to pick her up. She really enjoyed her time and said it was the best place she had stayed. Everyone was so kind, the food was great, and she laughed so much. This was such a great outcome after her last two respites
in other places. I think it helped her dementia; she seemed more settled on coming home than before. Well done to you all; this is what made her family feel relieved. Thank you!

Lovely staff who treat my father like their own family - nothing is too much trouble! Dad very evidently enjoys living at Bucklow Manor. He is always full of smiles for the staff. The staff treat my father with care and the dignity that he deserves, always calling him by his name. We have joined with
the many days organised for the residents and this is lovely to see Dad being given the opportunity to enjoy the celebrations he always has.

Father came to Bucklow Manor in February, having been allocated a place by social services. However, we couldn't have chosen a better home for him ourselves. The staff are fantastic and though Father can't always remember names, his face lights up when the staff interact with him. His room, though fairly
small is always very clean and tidy - though I understand he doesn't spend much time in there. He is downstairs with the other residents. When we visit, we are warmly welcomed and offered a drink on arrival. We feel that our time spent with our father (at the home) is made special. A huge thank you.

I have been visiting my sister here for the last two years, and so I have been able to get to know the staff who I find hard-working and caring people doing a hard job. I've watched how the residents react to them and how the staff deal with difficult situations with care and consideration.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.889)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.889) out of 10 for Bucklow 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 45 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 45 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 4.889 for Bucklow Manor Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (477 Excellents x 5) + (53 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 533 Ratings = 4.889

  • 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 Bucklow Manor Care Home is based on 45 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 56 registered maximum number of service users is 11.2, which has been reached with 45 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.

I am passionate about the continual improvement and growth of the services that we provide, e.g. providing Namaste sessions in the home which aid in the spiritual and general well-being of the residents. We aim to ensure the care and support given to our residents are of high standards at all times.


My hobbies are spending time with my family, holidays, and my pets. I have a Cuban amazon parrot called Billie, an albino toad called Froggit and a bearded dragon called Puff.
