  • 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.

My wife seems very settled. My daughters and I have virtually no worries as we know rest is having all best of care. It may not be relevant to my wife, but we like the way the staff engage with residents and run all plenty of activities for those who wish to take part. It is not cheap but in my view,
you get what you pay for. Surprised we had to buy toothpaste, shampoo etc and incontinence pads.

My mother has been at Coombe Hill Manor for 5 months and has been very happy here from the start. The staff are fantastic, very attentive, caring and empathetic. There is always something going on with the activities and these are tailored to fit each resident. I am so happy she is here as I can go
home and know that she feels safe and happy here and that I don't have to worry about her at all.

Mum went to Coomb Hill Manor when she needed nursing care after a fall and a few weeks in hospital. She was treated with gentle care and cheerfulness with her dignity always protected. I wish we had found this home first as I am sure Mum would have enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and joined in the many
activities.


The support and friendship the staff gave us during Mum's final days helped us get through a very difficult time and we can't thank them enough.


Reply from Jane Williams, Client Liaison Manager at Signature Coombe Hill Manor

Thank you so much, Pauline, for your kind words and we at Coombe are only too pleased we could be there for you and your Mum at what we know is a very difficult time, we will make sure we pass these sentiments on to our staff as I know it means so much to them as well.

My aunt has been a Coombe Hill resident for 3 years.


Although she always needs something to grumble about, she is very content with the knowledge there is always help at hand should she need it. She highly praises the carers and is constantly telling me how wonderful they are.


My aunt has lots

of contact with other residents and looks forward to joining in the varied activities.

It's a big change moving into care. I must say that Coombe Hill Manor has helped the transition in a sensitive, helpful and (I think) successful way. My mother seems content, enjoying many of the facilities and the care. On my visits, I have been impressed by the friendliness and positive atmosphere.

Management are accessible and responsive, and care staff are plentiful. Smiles mark everyone from reception to maintenance; engagement with residents is genuine and respectful. The friendly atmosphere is pervasive and remarkable.


Surroundings are bright, welcoming and spacious, with a number of

additional inviting areas for residents to use; there are options of privacy as well as community. The facilities, including the spa baths, are a surprising treat. CHM feels more like a light and airy lovely hotel than a residential home. Soundproofing on the extremely pleasant individual units is excellent.


My own elderly father, who lives far away, is so impressed by what he has heard of CHM’s delights, that he wishes he could live there also and even considered relocating…. he and I only wish it were feasible!

My mother stayed at Coombe Hill Manor for two and a half years.
The staff were wonderful - nothing was ever too much trouble and they worked hard to give my mum a quality of life.
Everything else was great too, the facilities, the food, the activities and general approachability of staff.

All the staff are so friendly and are extremely caring. Nothing is too much bother. They have been excellent when my mum was getting over her knee replacement and recently when she has been poorly. The entertainment teams are fab and really good fun. Staff take the time to get to know residents families.
Food is excellent and residents are listened to via various forums and changes are made accordingly.

This is the most excellent home and more than you can wish for in a care home. Very friendly from beginning to end and extremely kind, caring staff who always appear eager and helpful whilst smiling and happy. The activities are good. The staff very understanding, professional and lively. The home is
very clean with a wonderful atmosphere. I cannot recommend it enough - truly excellent.

We are delighted with the loving care that our mother received in her final year of life. At all times staff were caring, respectful, interested in getting the most out of our mother by stimulating her in every way and generally making her life very happy. They were particularly interested in her Spanish
cultural background and made a point of linking things in her past with current activities (through music, faith etc).


We had not anticipated such intense care and attention to detail as they demonstrated. They also showed great patience and care when things became very difficult after a hospital stay. Their care really did go above and beyond the normal level that you would expect, and for that, we are so very grateful.

My mother has been a resident in the dementia unit for 2 and a half years, having previously been in another nearby home of very similar cost. The difference, particularly in the attitude of staff and standard of care, has been extremely impressive. The home is purpose built to a high standard with
great facilities and excellent food and accommodation.
The standard of care is outstanding, with a high staff to resident ratio and I cannot fault the caring approach and attitude. The staff are also very good at communicating with families, keeping in touch by phone or email, whenever appropriate.

My mother moved into Coombe Hill Manor's Augusta suite following the death of her husband, my father. The whole process from initial visit, to moving day and settling in period was handled with complete professionalism and compassion by the management and staff. My sister and I visited several alternative
providers before we decided and Coombe Hill Manor was easily the first choice. This was borne out over the two and a half years that my mother was a resident. The care she received was first class. The staff were caring to mum and welcoming to her family. The facilities are first rate. The catering is of excellent quality and variety. But really this place is about the staff who are excellent and really care about their residents. That is the most important consideration for family members placing their relatives into care and makes recommending Coombe Hill Manor very easy to do. Thank you to everyone for all that you did for mum.

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.

Sonya Fenwick

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.

Riona Scannell

Job Title: People Services Manager

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.

Steve Carey

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.
