  • Signature Coombe Hill Manor, Kingston upon Thames
Signature at Coombe Hill Manor is an established home situated in the beautiful surroundings of Kingston-Upon-Thames. The home is purpose built and offers exceptional accommodation, which is affordable and of a very high standard. Headed up by a very experienced General Manager, the team at Coombe Hill Manor offers a very warm welcome to all - it is a care home like no other in the area.

Coombe Hill Manor is proud to offer two fully licensed restaurants, the menu being dictated by current residents and an in-house café for residents and visitors to enjoy afternoon tea and homemade cakes. There is also a large Wellbeing and Lifestyle Team which provide trips out, visiting speakers, performers and activities. There is also an in-house hair salon, spa and treatment room.

A typical one bedroom suite offers a bedroom and separate lounge and kitchen with a full en-suite wet room. It is unique in that the home offers double the space of most care homes and it is ideal for those wanting extra room or for couples who want to stay together. There are also smaller studios for those who prefer something more cosy. The rooms come unfurnished allowing residents to bring those special objects, which helps the settling in process.

Residents range from those who are relatively independent and still drive through to those who require full nursing, dementia or end of life care. Coombe Hill provides discreet support in a place which is not institutional and as much like home as possible.

The care and consideration given to residents are wonderful. Throughout this epidemic, the home has provided excellent care and sensible measures to protect the health of the residents. It has responded rapidly to government guidelines, providing opportunities to visit when possible - either in gazebos,
pods or through windows - ensuring that families can still see their relatives.

What can I say about this superlative care home that will resonate with those looking for the best in quality, care, dedication, affection, fun, genuine respect and inclusiveness even for those whose light shines dimly! The love that was given to my elderly mother, for the past two years, in the latter
stages of dementia has been phenomenal, across the board, from every level of staff, but to one particular lady, my thanks and gratitude know no bounds. You connected where we thought receptors had died, you found the link, you made her heart sing and eyes smile, you made her laugh with a shared naughtiness of humour, and I’m booking myself in – so don’t you dare retire! My best love and thanks to you and your exceptional team of “Angels without Wings”.

My sister has been in Coombe Manor for a year now, and from the start, she has been happy and content. We, as a family, found we were unable to guarantee her safety due to her dementia, but seeing how she is cared for and how much she has improved, we know it was the right decision. The staff are all
very caring and always helpful. One particular lady is a delight, such a lovely and talented lady.

The staff team at Coombe Hill have been exceptionally kind and diligent in dealing with the needs of the residents and their relatives with every effort being made to provide visiting access is as safe an environment as possible. It makes such a difference to my father being able to see me as his hearing
is so poor, it makes phone calls impractical.

The team have been excellent since my mother moved in. Were extremely helpful during COVID to admit my mother and both co-ordinated this well in addition to going the extra mile to accommodate a complex move. They are generally well organised and clear in how they communicate with residents. The team
are very warm and welcoming and there is a very good community spirit in the home. Staff are friendly and take good care of the residents. This is a very well maintained home and facilities are excellent.

My mother has been a resident at Coombe Hill Manor for nearly 4 years. Over the period her care has been excellent and her well-being always at the forefront of the staff's approach to her. As her needs have changed and increased so has the care and attention she has been given. From management down,
the approach has been an active and positive engagement with both her and her family. Even in the exceptional circumstances created by COVID, the staff have used every opportunity to ease the stress it has caused and make contact with her from outside as available as possible either through video links or in-person visits. It has been my experience that Coombe Hill Manor aims to and manages to achieve the highest standards in care.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My father moved into Signature at Coombe Hill Manor in January 2020. He is 75 years old and suffers from advancing frontotemporal lobe dementia and has been unable to walk for five months. We were pleased when he was offered a place at this home, as having done extensive research and visited many homes
over the previous year, it was far and away our first choice. However, we were still apprehensive as to how he would react at being placed in a care home. We need not have worried though - the care and compassion he has received from Day one has been exemplary. He is always happy and contented when we see him, immaculately presented and obviously very well looked after. The staff are always courteous and kind and very respectful to him and the quality of care is excellent.

This is an incredibly nurturing environment for residents and their loved ones. My 94-year-old grandmother has found a love for painting. She's never picked up a paintbrush before and she's now creating beautiful masterpieces - she's discovered a talent that has been given care and attention by the

The care provided to my aunt has been exemplary and the staff have shown care, love and dignity to her. She has been encouraged to participate and attend all events which I have encouraged as I am a non-resident of the UK and therefore am not able to visit often. This has meant that my aunt is encouraged
to participate and be stimulated but without pressure. She has responded positively to any staff interaction when I have been there and this can only be genuine. I certainly feel, that in what is a difficult time of life, my aunt is getting all the respect and care due to her.

I had great confidence in the care provided for my husband by the staff and management at Coombe Hill Manor. Attention to his individual wellbeing and encouragement of his interest was admirable. As a constant visitor, I was also aware that this care extends to the community of resident in general which
is delightful. The ambience of the home is always warm and inclusive, to family member and friends, which always made visiting a pleasure.

My father lived here for nearly 3 years, up to his death in November. Throughout, he was treated with superb care, charm and courtesy. Management of the home is outstanding, getting the tone throughout the home and quick to pounce on any problems. Staff communicated well with Dad and the family. On
his death, they could not have treated us better or with more love. It is an expensive home so one expects good service. But the whole place is exceptional. I cannot recommend it more strongly.

In the 4 years of visiting my mother at Coombe Hill Manor, I got to know the staff and carers, who were friendly, kind and helpful. They got to know me and this contributed to the exceptional care provided to my mother. She never complained and she enjoyed her flat being viewed by possible new residents
and meeting them.
My mother's care needs increased towards the end of her life. I cannot rate the nursing care which she received more highly and the genuine outpouring of grief and love at her passing from all who nursed her touched my heart deeply. My mother embraced the staff and carers as her "family" and they reciprocated and loved her. I shall always be grateful for what they did for her.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.863)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.863) out of 10 for Signature Coombe Hill Manor 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 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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 4.863 for Signature Coombe Hill Manor is calculated as follows: ( (343 Excellents x 5) + (46 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 393 Ratings = 4.863

  • 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 Signature Coombe Hill Manor is based on 33 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 104 registered maximum number of service users is 20.8, which has been reached with 33 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

Joined: 2015

I am a registered nurse, having qualified in South Africa after completing the 4-year integrated Nursing Course, and I specialised an additional year in Mental Health. I have worked for one of Bupa’s biggest nursing homes for the last 15 years, in the capacity of a Nurse, Clinical Services Manager, Training Coordinator and, recently, as the Deputy Manager. During this time, I studied Dementia at Kingston University and also gained my mentorship qualifications at City University. I also facilitated the home's entry into the Gold Standards Framework for End of Life care in care homes and they were awarded Beacon status - which is the highest accolade awarded to a home in this field. The home still holds this award. I joined Coombe Hill Manor as Care Services Manager. I am passionate about resident care and ensuring that high standards are reached and maintained. Every person living in our community has a voice and we are here to support their choices while respecting their dignity and providing them with the support they need to start a new life at Coombe Hill Manor.

I have been working at Signature Coombe Hill Manor since March 2018. Working in a care setting was new to me, having been in the Banking sector all of my working life, but I have to say that I have fallen in love with the care sector! The first time I came to Coombe Hill Manor was for an interview for my current role. From the minute I walked in the front door, I was met with smiles and a feeling of warmth - I felt at ease even though I had an interview to undergo! Since then, I have been in awe of how deeply team members and management care about what they do. One of my responsibilities is to recruit staff for the home. The team and I ensure we recruit people who will embrace the Signature values so that our residents can continue to expect high levels of care and service excellence.

Job Title: Head Chef

Joined: 2021

I began my career as a professional chef in 1980 and after many enjoyable and successful years in hotels and restaurants, I decided to join the care home sector through Signature in late 2021 in a regional capacity. During my time at the regional level, I have worked in many Signature kitchens with some amazing people having gained an idea of what the company is about and how much they care about the wonderful service they provide. Working with Signature has allowed me to really express myself as a chef and add to my already vast experience. After spending time on the road, I have decided to settle down and dedicate myself to the wonderful residents and team at Signature at Coombe Hill Manor. My aim is to use my knowledge of food production and preparation along with the requirements of our residents, to bring them the best possible dining experience.
