My brother stayed in Lincombe Manor and what a beautiful place it is.
The care and attention he received from all the staff was outstanding. The manager was amazing with my brother and the communication via phone and email was excellent.
Thank you for caring for my brother I will always be grateful
to you all.

Reply from Justine Thelwell, General Manager at Lincombe Manor Care Centre

Thank you so much for your lovely words of praise. Your brother was very special to us. Such a gentleman in every way. Thank you for being so supportive during what was a very challenging time for care homes. We wish you all the very best and are looking forward to helping you celebrate your brothers life when you set the date.

Although a little expensive Lincombe Manor provides everything that I could expect and more in the care of my mother. Having visited on many occasions I am assured of the safety and comfort of my mother in this beautiful home.

Reply from Justine Thelwell, General Manager at Lincombe Manor Care Centre

Thank you for your kind words of praise. I shall make sure the team hear how much you value their hard work and dedication. It is our honour to look after Mum especially as you live on the other side of the world. Take care and stay safe until you can fly over and visit Mum.

My wife moved to Lincombe Manor Care Centre in December 2019 after finding that I was unable to continue nursing her myself at home which I had been doing for the last three years. She has a condition named Multiple System Atrophy/C which is similar to Parkinson's but worse, it is a degenerative condition
and is advanced. After she was admitted, I had reservations whether she was going to receive good care and support but I quickly discovered that the staff here are loving and caring, always smiling and jovial, nothing was ever too much trouble, we were both always treated with respect and dignity. I was also surprised that I have been allowed to spend so much time with her because she is so far advanced, I spend on average ten hours a day with her, feeding her, being together, enjoying the fresh air on the upstairs decking, enjoying the wonderful coastline views. The complete staff and management have been so wonderful and kind to us both I could have not have asked for anything better.

Reply from Justine Thelwell, General Manager at Lincombe Manor Care Centre

It is very comforting to know that we are meeting your wife's needs as well as both your expectations. I know it was an extremely difficult decision to make when you came to see us. You will always be welcome to spend as much time with your wife as you want to. The pair of you come as a package and we are very happy that you take in those spectacular sea views together.

My mother has been at Lincombe Manor for 3-years or more, and she has always been looked after with care, dignity and respect.
The management and team at the home has always been exceptional in the care and attention she has had, and our family have always been comforted in the way she has always
felt safe and secure.
The Covid virus has brought about a whole range of new challenges for us all, and the home has responded with a full range of activities to keep everybody active.
Importantly, the manager has sent regular emails with full information about how they are coping with the challenges being experienced, and updates on my mother and all the residents.
A big thank you to you all, and I hope to soon be able to visit my mother and thank you all personally.

Reply from Justine Thelwell, General Manager at Lincombe Manor Care Centre

Thank you so much for all your kindness and support. Your Mother is cherished by us all and its lovely to hear how much you value the team. We are very lucky to have such supportive families and it breaks our hearts during this heinous pandemic that we have to separate you from each other. Rest assured we will endeavour to keep her safe and well until we all meet again. What a party we are going to have. I get excited just thinking about having you all back with us again.

Lincombe has been warm, welcoming and efficient from day one. The staff are highly professional, caring and very much treat our father as an individual. They keep distant relatives well informed.

Reply from Justine Thelwell, General Manager at Lincombe Manor Care Centre

Thank you so much for your kind words. It really means a lot to the whole team when they can see how much they are valued and appreciated. Your father is a delight to look after and it's our pleasure to continue to care for him until he can return home and regain his independence.

My mum came to Lincombe Manor in August 2019; it was an immensely difficult and emotional decision.
We cannot thank or praise the staff enough for their commitment, kindness and care towards my mum and for welcoming us all.
We know Mum is being well cared for; she is safe and takes part in activities
which are so reassuring.
I would not have my mum looked after by anyone else. They are a team of very skilled and dedicated people who go above and beyond. Above all, Mum is settled and content; what better measure is there?
Grateful thanks to you all.

Reply from Justine Thelwell, General Manager at Lincombe Manor Care Centre

What a wonderful review. It makes us quite emotional to hear how much you value our care and how happy Mum is living with us. I know it was such a difficult decision and I am thrilled that we have managed to meet all of your expectations and give you and Mum peace of mind.

This is a lovely care home and my mother was treated with the utmost kindness and compassion. Her dying days were also spent at the home and all the staff delivered exemplary care which I am sure contributed to a peaceful ending for Mum. She was always content living there and I was ever-present, often
advocating on her behalf. Any requirements and requests were always carried out and welcomed by the staff. The only criticism I have is the lack of visitor car spaces in immediate proximity to the site. This did not personally affect me, however, as I was happy to park a small distance away where spaces could be readily found.

Reply from Justine Thelwell, General Manager at Lincombe Manor Care Centre

Thank you so much for your kind words. We very much miss you and your mother. The home is not the same without you both. It pleases me greatly that you were content with Mum's care. The team take great pride in the quality of the service they deliver and I will make sure they all know how appreciative you are of them. I cannot disagree in any way with your parking critique. It is the only negative aspect of the care centre but with the super golf buggies we own to zip people up and down the hill, it does make it slightly easier for those who need a bit of help reaching our front door.

My dad had Parkinson's disease with complex needs, every single member of staff at Lincombe Manor was incredible and they treated my dad so wonderfully with dignity and respect. The care was outstanding, they made myself and my family welcome at any time ensuring my dad's last months were full of love
and laughter and kindness. I can never praise and thank everyone there enough.

Reply from Justine Thelwell, General Manager at Lincombe Manor Care Centre

Thank you so much for your lovely review of our service. It is wonderful to hear you had such a quality experience. We do miss Dad and his fabulous sense of humour. You were such a lovely family to have in our Home and we wish you all the very best for the coming New Year.

My husband has Parkinson's disease in the later stages. He was only in Lincombe Manor for 1-week respite care. I cannot thank the staff enough for the care he was given. They are a fantastic team. Everyone you see has a smile for you and makes you feel that nothing is too much trouble. I would have
no fear placing him in Lincombe Manor again. The only problem is parking but we managed.

Reply from Justine Thelwell, General Manager at Lincombe Manor Care Centre

Thank you so much for your lovely review. My team enjoyed every aspect of caring for your husband and we would welcome him back any time you may need our help. I agree with you that our only negative is the parking situation but hopefully, the care your husband received supersedes the frustrations of our parking situation. Please give our best wishes to your husband and tell him the team miss him dearly.

My family and I are immensely grateful to Lincombe Manor Care Centre for their kindness, high level of professional care and attention to detail shown to my dear wife throughout her 2 and a half year stay.
In addition, their thoughtfulness and genuine concern for my personal wellbeing during this
difficult period was hugely supportive.
Individual dignity and privacy was always respected, which played an important role in making the experience as positive as possible.

Reply from Justine Thelwell, General Manager at Lincombe Manor Care Centre

Thank you for your lovely words. You and your wife are deeply missed by everybody living and working at Lincombe Manor. It was an honour to look after you both and I do hope when you feel up to it that you will pay us a visit. Until then, we are sending you all our love and gratitude.

Mum arrived from hospital for respite following a broken pelvis. She was in great pain and very anxious. The staff at Lincombe Manor were very welcoming and warm and friendly. She grew in confidence as the staff helped and encouraged her walking. She also grew around the stomach as the food was second
to none. I would like to say an enormous thank you to all the staff and wouldn't think twice to bring mum back should she need more respite in the future.

Reply from Justine Thelwell, General Manager at Lincombe Manor Care Centre

Thank you for such a wonderful review. We do hope Mum is doing well at home. It was always her goal to regain her independence and we are so pleased we could help her achieve it. Mum is welcome anytime at Lincombe Manor not only for respite but for any of our activities or a lovely lunch and catch up with old friends. Give her our love we miss her cheerfulness.

My 'second mum' stayed at the care home for four months after a short spell in hospital, and because she was no longer able to be cared for appropriately at home. She was very well looked after and her needs were fully met. She especially enjoyed the food! The staff were lovely and clearly did their
best to make her feel comfortable and loved. It was a shame that she was not sufficiently well enough to enjoy all the education and entertainments that were put on in the home, or indeed, the magnificent surroundings. As visitors, the facilities were excellent as was the hospitality.

Reply from Justine Thelwell, General Manager at Lincombe Manor Care Centre

It was our pleasure to look after "second Mum". We miss her every day. Thank you from all the team for the lovely card last week showing us where "Mum" is living. It gave us all a lot of pleasure reading your kind words. Our Team are always very proud to hear that all their hard work and efforts are appreciated by families and loved ones. We all hope "Mum" has settled in to her new home and is happy to have you close by.

I have visited many care home, both as a relative and as a volunteer with a local charity. Many were found wanting in their standards of care. Lincombe Manor meets all the criteria of an excellent care home. All the staff were wonderful, where nothing was too much trouble. Nutritious, home cooked food,
a clean bright environment and attention to detail was apparent everywhere. After my weeks of respite care I will, thankfully, leave refreshed in body and spirit.

Reply from Justine Thelwell, General Manager at Lincombe Manor Care Centre

Wow. Thank you so much for your stunning review. We try very hard at Lincombe to meet not only your health needs but also reach your expectations and it looks like we succeeded here. We loved having you stay with us recently and hope you will remain a friend of the Home and visit us when you are back on your feet.

My husband has just had a very happy week's respite at Lincombe Manor. He is disabled with advanced Parkinson's Disease but still has full mental capacity and his needs were catered for perfectly. We have never come across such friendly and caring staff and would not hesitate to recommend it as a care
home of excellent. If he's happy, I'm happy - which means I can have some much needed Rest and Recuperation with complete peace of mind. Thank you one and all at Lincombe Manor - we'll be back!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.781)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.781) out of 10 for Lincombe Manor Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.781 for Lincombe Manor Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (300 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 351 Ratings = 4.781

  • 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 Lincombe Manor Care Centre is based on 28 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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6, which has been reached with 28 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.

In April 2022 I completed my Level 5 Diploma and became an Assistant Practitioner where I not only get to support the residents health and social needs but work closely with our Nurses to provide high standards of nursing care to all who live at Lincombe. I've been working in the care sector for over 25 years, I've worked in residential and nursing homes, working with dementia residents and adults with learning disabilities. In my spare time, I enjoy socialising with my friends and family.

Hello, my name is Naomi and I have been working at Lincombe Manor Care Centre since 2022. I completed my level 3 in Health and Social Care at college and applied for a job here. I was first offered a position on the Wellbeing Team which I really enjoyed but when an opening became available for a Healthcare Assistant, I had to apply as that was my passion. I got the role and was a Healthcare Assistant for 1 year before being offered a Senior Healthcare Assistant position which I accepted. I really enjoy my job. I love to spend time with the residents and make them look and feel nice by helping with their hair and make-up.


In my spare time, I like to travel and spend time with my partner, family and friends. I enjoy festivals and being outside in the sunshine, summer is my favourite time of the year.
