All the carers are friendly and caring. They make my mum feel looked after, especially the activities coordinator. However, the food has fallen in standard and the care home manager is overbearing and intimidating to visitors. If your loved one goes out of the home, staff can be judgemental about them
needing food on their return.

Reply from Samantha Debenham, PA to Marketing Director at Bishops Manor

Thank you very much for taking the time to submit your review and for your kind words and scores for the care and activities at Bishops Manor care home. In regards to the management in the home, we feel that our other excellent reviews and CQC rating speak for themselves, and would urge anyone looking for care for themselves or a loved one to arrange a show round to see the home and meet the senior team. In 2020, our GM also won an Award for her work at the home. In regards to food, all of our meals are produced fresh in-house by our chef-led team. Our Head Chef, who has joined us from another Care UK home, is incredibly well-regarded – in fact, in our recent Food Forum which we invite all residents to be part of, he had excellent feedback – our menus offer a lot of choice and are planned with the help of residents in the home to reflect meals that they enjoy, so if there’s anything your mother would particularly like to see on the menu, she just needs to let us know and our Head Chef will be happy to add it. As eating regularly and getting the right amount of calories and nutrition each day is important to everyone, but especially those in older age, if any resident has been out late and missed dinner and has not eaten anything when out, we would of course prepare then a meal or smaller snack to make sure they didn’t go hungry, which is the right thing to do – if a resident is hungry at any time, even if they haven’t been out, we’d always make sure we got them something to eat that they’d like.

My mum moved into the home to recuperate after several stays in hospital. She was very happy and content and enjoyed the level of care and support, she decided that she would stay at Bishops Manor. Her health improved hugely, she gained weight and the awful cycle of being sent home from hospital only
to be taken back in after a few weeks stopped. She was at last happy and content. Thank you to all involved.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

We were very anxious about finding the right care home for Mum.
From the very beginning, the contact I had with everyone was reassuring and very supportive. Mum was 90 , frail, and living with cancer.
The staff always had time for us when we phoned and when visiting was allowed, and Mum settled in
very quickly.
They turned Mum's life around. She had been lonely at home and missed meeting people and being sociable. At Gracewell of Sutton Coldfield she surprised us by joining in all the activities, basketball, quizzes, flower arranging, the list is endless. She loved getting her hair done regularly. We loved hearing all about it.
The surroundings are equivalent to a five-star hotel.
Very sadly Mums illness caught up with her and she passed away peacefully after three months.
We will never be able to thank all the team enough for all their care. The last months of Mum's life were the happiest we had seen her for a long time. The staff were caring, respectful, and great support to us. We won't forget you.

Reply from Sarah Diamond, General Manager at Bishops Manor

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My 83 year old mother with complex health conditions had a fall breaking 5 ribs. On discharge from hospital, we knew she could not cope at home due to the pain and care needed. After much research we contacted Gracewell. From the moment I spoke to the home admissions advisor I felt confident that placing
Mom in respite there was the right thing, as the level of reassurance and compassion was first-rate. Mom was unsure, but the welcome she was given, the care and dignity (her words not mine) were fantastic, in a period during lockdown when Covid was still a real issue for relatives. We booked a month's respite, and she came out much stronger and healthier than on admission. My main feedback is regarding the communication, with a weekly Zoom with her care team and every phone call we made was answered or replied to instantly, even to her nurse late one night personally with accurate and personal feedback. I am not going to pretend it's the cheapest, but the level of care on offer is first class.

Reply from Sarah Diamond, General Manager at Bishops Manor

Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review. Your Mother was a pleasure to care for and we are all pleased that she left Gracewell of Sutton Coldfield feeling healthier and stronger. We believe that communication is key and I am happy that you were able to readily discuss your Mother’s progress with her carers. I look forward to sharing this review with my wonderful team.

Mom has just celebrated her 3rd Anniversary at Gracewell Sutton Coldfield and still looks as healthy and happy as when she first moved in there. As most people will appreciate, it was a difficult decision to admit mom needed help that we could not provide and we were adamant we would try and get the
best care home we could for her. How lucky were we to have Gracewell of Sutton Coldfield so close to us. As soon as we were given our initial tour of the care home we knew immediately that this was the one for mom. Not only is it spotlessly clean, modern and has the facilities of a 5-star hotel, but every member of staff we spoke to on that first day was also welcoming, friendly and full of enthusiasm for the job they do. Fast forward to today, 3 years later and I cannot praise Gracewell and its staff enough. Mom has had her health issues and the care staff have looked after her so well and kept us informed every step of the way. In the words of the famous advert, if Carlsberg did care homes.

Gracewell are the most wonderful home. They have cared for my dad for the last two years, shown him nothing but respect, kindness and care. They have always kept us informed and provided all the needs that sadly we could no longer do for him. I can't recommend them highly enough. The peace of mind that
we have had since my dad went to live there, and the reassurance that he is safe and well has been such a comfort. The team are amazing and have helped us as much as they have supported my dad.

The team at Gracewell have looked after my father for nearly three years and I can honestly say that he's been at his happiest I've seen him for years. The welcome, overall care, fun environment and respect that each and every member of the team have shown both my father and our whole family has been
amazing. We, like many others, had some background concerns when making the decision to move my father into care but the team at Gracewell made me feel like we should have done it years ago! Visits were a pleasure instead of a chore and concern and my young children loved going to visit Grandad instead of me having to drag them along - the cake on a Saturday helped I'm sure, as did the fantastic events (especially the dancing and petting zoo!) but most of all it was the "feel" of Gracewell that made it special and that is created by each and every member of the team. Sadly we recently lost my father to Alzheimer's but yet again the team were there for us, loving and caring at every turn. Amazing!

My sister, who has learning and mobility issues, reached a point when independent living was no longer viable. The family were concerned whether residence in a care home was an appropriate option for her. But, she very soon felt at home and Gracewell has provided her with stimulation, friendship and
very, very good care in a warm and safe environment, even in these difficult times of Coronavirus lockdown. Thank you so much to all the staff for creating a happy, welcoming care home for my sister.

During this pandemic, we suddenly found ourselves looking for a care home for our 85-year-old mum.
Covid didn't give us the luxury of being able to turn up and view to enable us to make our decision.
The internet was our only means of research.
Gracewell Sutton Coldfield soon caught our attention
and one lady did a fantastic job of explaining how this special place works from day to day during the lockdown, also giving us a guided tour via WhatsApp.
We took the difficult decision and our lovely mum moved in in July, we haven't looked back. The team have been fantastic at settling her in, ensuring she has become part of the Gracewell family. A big thank you to all the carers and staff members.

Having moved my mother in and out of four care homes, due to various reasons either bad management, inadequate care, unacceptable levels of care or clashes between my mother and staff, we happened upon Gracewell.
Here, at last, the management team are up to the task of tip-top care, making the resident
feel like it's their home, and it's their needs paramount in decision making.
The team are on top of COVID-19 with not one case recorded at the home, we may get a little frustrated with the regime of visiting restrictions and or been unable to take my mother out on trips, but we rest assured that it is for the good of her along with other residents and as this pandemic has spread, we have ended up grateful for the measures taken to protect the residents. The key difference is that this home puts the resident at the core of all the policies and management decisions, and we, the relatives, are carried along with the process by regular newsletters and helpful telephone calls to inform us.

My father has been in Gracewell since July 2020. Since that time, we have seen such an improvement. The staff have been wonderful, helping Dad settle in and ensuring that we were kept up to date with this process as we were still adhering to Covid guidelines in respect of visiting.
It was so important
for us to have that communication with staff. The admissions manager was/is amazing answering all our questions and getting to know my dad and still always available to answer our questions.
Seeing dad now, how the constant care provided to him has made him feel safe and happy at Gracewell, and we can see the positive change in him. Whilst this was such a hard decision to make, I know that it is the right decision when I can see this change.

My mum has become a resident since COVID-19 following falls at home.
She has a limited physical capacity (although this is improving with staff support) but full mental attributes.
She has settled in really well even at these challenging times when we can’t visit.
Mum is joining in a full a varied
activity programme trying new activities.
She enjoys the company of other residents and staff.
Mum was given the choice with the recent lockdown rules to stay with my sister or me, but without hesitation, she declined!
Her appearance and mood have both significantly improved since moving in.
We have recently started window visits again, which is nice.
The only thing she misses she says is family cuddles.
Mum has cancer too, which will limit her life, and I am sure she is in the right place for end of life care. My father also was a resident with different needs but passed away with dignity, respect and above all friends that cared for him.

When we had to make the difficult decision to put Dad into care due to Alzheimer’s we visited Gracewells to look around; the Home Admissions Adviser was our first contact and showed us so much compassion and we fell in love with the place. Dad moved in early Jan 2020 and settled in immediately; the
carers were amazing both with Dad and our family; I’d love to name them all but worried I’d miss someone out. Unfortunately, after suffering a stroke a couple of weeks later, he had a spell in hospital and on his return, his level of care had heightened which Gracewell adapted to with equipment and assisted feeding that was needed. Dad was with us until March 18th and as a family, we feel lucky that we were able to all be with him in his last week before lockdown. We were all looked after and believe Dad couldn’t have been in a better place. Thank you to everyone at Gracewell, always in our hearts.

My dad has always received excellent care at Gracewell. He has dementia and various physical and mental challenges and sometimes needs hospital treatment. The friendly and caring staff and management have always done their very best to support him and make his life at Gracewell happy and meaningful.
The food is always excellent with a good variety of dishes offered. Reception staff are very friendly and cooperative. The cleaning and maintenance team also do their utmost to make Dad feel wanted and at home. The rooms are spotless.
The care assistants do an amazing job. It can't be easy, but they are like angels.
Since the lockdown, Gracewell has a number of safety measures in place, and staff and residents remain in good health.
Gracewell also has a very full activity and entertainment programme, so there is never a dull moment for those who like to keep doing things. Staff members go out of their way to gently encourage Dad to participate. I thoroughly recommend Gracewell.

Both our parents have been residents at Gracewell. From the moment they arrived, they and our family were made to feel very welcome. The care they received was excellent with all staff, whatever their role, showing kindness, dignity, friendship and patience. The staff and management were always willing
to listen to us as mum and dad's needs changed. Even after hospital admissions, they were always welcomed back with open arms and any adjustments to their needs catered for seamlessly. The activities and wealth of varied good quality entertainment were enjoyed by residents and our family. The building and gardens were modern and of such a good standard I think mum and dad thought they were living in a 5* hotel. We will always remember the care and kindness shown to them and us as a family when their health declined and they passed away peacefully at Gracewell. Since this time we have been back to visit and have always received a very warm welcome. Thank you Gracewell.

Mom passed away very peacefully this week at Gracewell. She was cared for with dignity and respect throughout her short stay. The Gracewell family made her transfer from hospital seamless and welcomed her and her family, with open arms. Mom was a resident on the ground (nursing) floor and every member
of staff helped to make her stay the very best it could be. She loved her room which was elegant and beautiful. We had fun times with visiting entertainers and in house activities. During the summer months, staff would sit with residents in the beautiful garden and supply ice lollies which were always welcome. The atmosphere of Gracewell is one of laughter and fun, even when Mom was taken poorly and restricted to her bed, I was supported by staff through those last few days. They encouraged me to eat and drink, provided me with a mattress to sleep on and were always ready with a hug or a shoulder to cry on. Our time at Gracewell was very special and I will be forever grateful to everyone there.

(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 65 registered maximum number of service users is 13, which has been reached with 38 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.

Thomas Bampfield

Job Title: General Manager

Working at Bishop’s Manor is a privilege and I’m incredibly proud to be part of our award-winning team.


Our beautiful home benefits from a strong, experienced management team whose vision, creativity, and commitment enhance the quality of care we provide. Together, we live by the belief that "teamwork makes the dream work," and this shines through in everything that we do.


I am also extremely grateful for the phenomenal nurses who lead each floor with passion and a genuine love for their work. My fantastic care team bring an all-hands-on-deck approach, demonstrating unmatched love, dedication and enthusiasm that amazes me every single day. Their commitment creates an incredible culture that not only enriches the lives of our residents but also brings in referrals and recommendations from the community and the families who trust us.


As someone who has been nominated for awards in our field, I am committed to holistic care that nurtures the whole person. This means taking time to truly listen to residents, understanding their experiences, and responding with compassion and empathy, qualities I believe are at the heart of meaningful care. It’s these moments that make a real difference in a resident’s day.


I am proud to be a nurse and to work at Bishop’s Manor, where every day offers the chance to positively impact the lives of my team, our residents and their families.
