My mum has been at Karuna Manor for 6 months. Since coming here we have seen a great improvement in her physical and mental health. She is always treated with respect, compassion and dignity by the staff. The excellent and professional care and management team are very caring, friendly, approachable
and always available to reassure and support my mum and us. Nothing is too much trouble for them with always a smile and laughter to share with the residents and family. Karuna Manor provides a clean, tidy and comfortable homely environment with freshly prepared meals and a range of daily activities that keep my mum occupied and happy. She especially loves her time at the temple each morning as praying was such a huge part of her life when she was at her home. She looks forward to the exercise sessions after being to the temple. I have never seen my mum play bingo or do any colouring/painting and now she really enjoys those activities. I have no hesitation in recommending Karuna Manor to anyone looking for a care/nursing home for their loved one.

My grandmother, at 91, had to go into a home because she was too fragile to live by herself. We were worried whether she'd be happy especially as she's Gujarati and doesn't speak English - but the home went out of their way to welcome her and make her an important part of their family. The home is truly
wonderful. The facilities, meals and care she receives are second to none. It's a pleasure to see her come out of her shell and enjoy her final years in comfort. Simple things like carers sitting with her over tea and talking mean a lot. And the whole family is so thankful that she's happy here. If you're thinking about a home for your loved one I would highly recommend Karuna Manor.

Reply from Community Development Manager, Community Development Manager at Karuna Manor

Thank you for you feedback and we very much appreciate this to help improve our services we provide. Although residents can take a few weeks to settle into their new home, your grandma has settled in very quickly and is enjoying her life here. If you or your family need any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I have been very impressed with the facilities and quality of care at Karuna Manor. Residents are treated with sensitivity and compassion, and staff are responsive to relatives' feedback. I have noticed a significant improvement in my mother's wellbeing due to the daily care, companionship and stimulation
she has had since arriving at Karuna Manor. Thank you to all Karuna Manor staff!

Reply from Raj Kerai, Community Development Manager at Karuna Manor

Thank you for your honest feedback. Mum has been amazing from the start and settled in from the outset. All the team enjoy the company of mum and we are honoured to be taking care of such a kind and compassionate person. As always if there is anything we could improve on, please do let us know.

Karuna Manor has been caring for my mum since 2016 after she suffered a major stroke. The past year has been an exceptionally difficult year due to the COVID pandemic, but all the staff on the 1st floor and the wider Karuna team of activities, kitchen, laundry, cleaning and office have all done their
best to ensure Mum has been kept safe, well looked after and her mental wellbeing is being looked after. They have been as accommodating, understanding and shown have shown compassion. Myself and my sister are so grateful.

Reply from Raj Kerai, Community Development Manager at Karuna Manor

Thank you for your review of our home. I totally agree with you, the last year has been very challenging with the pandemic and the rule changes, whilst maintaining the high level of care we are known for. It is a pleasure to look after your mum, and if you or your sister require any further assistance, please do let us know.

My mum has been here since 8th May 2019 - the overall quality and management (especially the home manager, who is very understanding and wholly dedicated) is excellent and my mum has been so happy. You have given her a new lease of life for which I am truly grateful. Overall, the staff are wholly dedicated
and work in harmony with patients and caring is their philosophy.

Reply from Raj Kerai, Community Development Manager at Karuna Manor

Thank you for your kind words and feedback. It has been a pleasure to care for your mum and she is admired by all the staff, especially the Home Manager, who always talks about her in such a positive manner. If we can help in any other way, as always, please let us know.

Karuna Manor is extremely well run by a caring and compassionate team of manager and staff. Nothing is ever too much trouble for them; staff are always happy and very helpful. Mum is always clean and fresh when we meet her. The staff always communicates with updates regularly. Mum has been at Karuna
Manor for over seven weeks now, and it was the best choice coming from the council.

From making a phone call to make an enquiry of our intention to move my mum from another care provider to the day of her moving in, all staff were extremely helpful. I was kindly mailed all the information and responded very promptly to my queries. The manager is exceptional to talk to and approachable.
She has a very professional approach and very helpful. Was handed over to a member of staff to process the administration and admission, who gave exceptional service. He was very efficient and professional in his approach and made the whole process of moving very smooth and easy. On the day of the move, all staff were very helpful and efficient. They are very approachable and no problem is a big problem. Mum has settled in well and extremely happy.

Reply from Raj Kerai, Community Development Manager at Karuna Manor

Thank you for your kind and honest review of Karuna Manor. It is a pleasure to welcome your mum to our home and if there is anything else we can help with, please do not hesitate to ask. We do try to make the move as smooth as possible as any changes made can be difficult for your mum to adjust to. However, she has been thoroughly enjoying her stay here and as you know difficult to get hold off now as she is always in the lounge or dining area socialising with other residents!

My dad spent his last 6 days in the care of everyone at Karuna Manor this September. I found all the staff (Priests, Nurses, Carers, Entertainment, Housekeeping, Kitchen, Laundry, Maintenance, Reception, Admin, Finance) to be friendly, caring and supportive. The hygiene and cleanliness standards are
high - which is vital during Covid. Residents are offered a variety of activities in groups and in their own rooms. The East African and Indian culture is respected and the onsite temple with it's resident priests is the central communal hub. The vegetarian food is amazing. The manager leads by example and is hands-on and sets the correct tone at the top. Karuna Manor is nicely decorated with lovely gardens but the real asset are the staff and volunteers whose vocation is to serve the residents.

High-quality care due to low staff turnover, that enables residents to form close friendly relationships. High quality of vegetarian meals with options to personalise to individuals.
Good religious hymns and festive celebrations.

I have only great things to say about Karuna Manor, our grandmother was moved to Karuna Manor during lockdown, the staff have been so attentive and responsive to my grandmother's needs. They have always found a way for us to see and communicate to her such as the video calls and visiting outside/from
a distance, and the face to face interaction even though we can't go near our grandmother has been priceless. We are forever grateful for our grandmother to be in a considerate and caring home with delicious Indian vegetarian food and religious activities that she can be a part of every day and she loves the mild exercise classes from her wheelchair.

Our beautiful mum stayed in Karuna Manor for 16 months before passing away peacefully. She was loved and cared for by every single member of staff. When well, she enjoyed all the religious activities and having lots of company. Her last few days were in the first two weeks of lockdown when we were allowed
to see and be with her every single day as she did not have the virus. For this and for so much more, we can't thank Karuna Manor enough - it was her second home. A beautiful care home that lives up to its name of love and compassion.

We are very happy and satisfied with my mum's care. Although mum misses home, she has been loving her time at Karuna Manor. She loves the mandir and the activities and that you celebrated her birthday. The staff are taking care of her with compassion and love.
Also, with having the in-house nurse
you’ve been able to care for all her needs. The team gets back pretty quickly too and couldn’t do without the video calls at this time of lockdown
Thank you! I would highly recommend.

I visited my uncle at Karuna Manor on 4th September 2019. I have found from parking to reception, park, temple, kitchen, cinema hall, rooms, building, staff from top to bottom - everyone is nice and everything is excellent.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.994)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.994) out of 10 for Karuna Manor is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.994 for Karuna Manor is calculated as follows: ( (155 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.994

  • 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 Karuna Manor is based on 13 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 13 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.
