It is difficult to put into words the respect and gratitude I have for your staff. My mother was very seriously ill over Christmas and the care and concern shown to her and to our whole family was exemplary. Professionally and personally the attention to detail, calm, compassionate care and good humour gave us a sense of being at home - amongst an extended family. Thank you!

I came over to visit my mum who had been very ill. I was very happy with the love and care she was receiving. The staff are all very caring and treat all residents with great respect and dignity. As I was here for a short time, I was very welcomed by all. Overall, I am very pleased with the whole care home. A big thank you to all the staff.

My mother has received excellent respite care at Barchester Raleigh Manor Care Home and she would have been happy to stay as a long-term resident had she not decided that it would be more practical to move closer to her family. The positive experience has helped her to feel happy about going into similar long-term provision for which I thank all of the staff at Raleigh Manor, especially the caring and supportive manager.

My mother has been a resident at Barchester Raleigh Manor Care Home for the past fifteen months. In this time, the staff and, especially, the manager have all looked after her so well. She is very happy and feels like she is at home. The manager goes above and beyond in her duty and makes sure that each resident is looked after extremely well.

A friend of mine, who suffers from dementia, has been a resident at Barchester Raleigh Manor Care Home for a year now. It has been a real privilege to visit him in such fantastic surroundings. Knowing that the staff and management put their heart and soles into caring for everyone to such high standards. The various rooms and facilities are exceptional in a state-of-the-art building, which enables the care home and team to give its residents the care and support they deserve and require. Everyone goes out of their way to help you! it's lovely there, they're all so friendly and welcoming. The choices for activities and entertainment for the residents are seemingly endless and a lot of effort and thought goes into their weekly planning. Raleigh Manor keeps on surprising. I know my friend enjoys his trips out to various places which they do, he really has discovered a whole new way of life and he is now eating really well and looking better for the whole experience! Thank you Raleigh Manor Care Home.

My friend had to give up her home due to age and her memory lapses. Her son-in-law saw the home Barchester Raleigh Manor Care Home were doing respite care so managed to get a room with a beautiful view of the estuary. My friend, when she saw the room, was absolutely delighted, she said she would give it a try, well that was nearly twelve months ago and she is still there enjoying her new home, saying it was the best move she had done. The staff are like friends, nothing is ever too much trouble, the food is delicious and on the whole, the home is like living in a hotel, we are all so lucky to have this home, it's like living the high life.

Upon arrival, I was shown to my room which was exactly like the rest of the building i.e. very large, really airy and spotlessly clean. Throughout my stay, I found all the staff very friendly whilst being professional and efficient. I also found that the mix of full-time residents and short-term visitors worked for me very well and I was made to feel immediately welcome. I did make the effort to leave my room and use the dining room which was light, bright and convivial. The food was good and varied and I especially enjoyed the cooked breakfast. Despite being a little nervous initially, I was soon really enjoying the many activities which allowed me to sit and chat with other people who obviously had different issues and problems than myself. My respite week genuinely flew by and I was a little sad to leave. I can and will happily recommend your care home. P.S. My absolute favourite thing was the 'help yourself ' cappuccino machine.

Generally, a very good experience but some carers are more empathetic than others. Activities were great but not always available as staff shortages.

My husband and I came for respite care of one week. I had a minor spinal op on Friday 30/08/2024 and needed rest and recuperation. We have had wonderful, care, meals and every attention. Nothing really is no trouble, the staff, from top through, are lovely people, well-trained, have a can-do attitude. We returned home rested, just as the doctor ordered. Thank you, we are so grateful.

Following two weeks in the hospital, I was in need of another two weeks care by way of convalescence. This care home provided all that I needed and more. Thoroughly recommended.

I arrived at Barchester Raleigh Manor Care Home and was pleasantly surprised at what I saw. More like a hotel. The interior was equally pleasing - furniture and furnishings. I was welcomed as if I had always resided there. Well cared for during my week of respite care. All the staff were helpful and nothing seemed too much trouble. I would certainly go there again if it was necessary to give my daughter/carer a break.

Staff and management have been marvellous at such a difficult transition time for us. Both of us have been treated with care and sensitivity at all times. As for the place, we describe it to friends as being as close to a 5* hotel as a dementia ward can get! It’s beautiful, luxurious, clean and homely.

My experience of the care home since moving in November 2023 has been very satisfactory. The staff are extremely caring and treat me in a very dignified manner. I am very happy living here. The only concern is at times I feel my room would benefit from a more thorough cleaning at times. Occasionally the food could be warmer and portions a little larger.
18 March 2024
It is extremely friendly here with a warm welcome and excellent care. I was nervous about coming into care but Raleigh Manor is my home from home. I love it here.
22 January 2024
I was cared for by experienced caregivers. Treated with dignity and kindness. The facility is first class, the food excellent and all members of staff work in harmony. At all times I was able to feel safe and confident.

My father has been a resident at Barchester Raleigh Manor Care Home for the past six months. He is being extremely well cared for. The staff are extremely professional, friendly, attentive and certainly go the extra mile to ensure his needs are met and that he is well looked after. He loves the daily activities, particularly the general knowledge quizzes. He has a really lovely room and the food (very important for him) is truly outstanding. He celebrated his 100th Birthday this week. The staff at Raleigh Manor went out of their way to make it a truly memorable occasion. They invited representatives from his old WW2 army division and the British Legion to attend and present him with his card from the King. The Salvation Army and a local singer entertained us with his favourite WW2 songs. A truly memorable occasion, one that we will all remember for a long time. It is a great relief for all the family to know that he is in a safe place and is being extremely well looked after.

We chose Raleigh Manor for our Mother when her dementia meant that she was no longer coping safely at home. We were impressed by both the staff and the environment and neither let us down. Mum found it difficult to settle, but despite these challenges, we found the hardworking staff found time in their busy schedules to bond with Mum and give her precious moments of contentment in amongst the confusion and distress the illness was causing her. In fact, what is particularly impressive about Raleigh Manor, is that all staff appear to work well together, with a can-do attitude, to create a positive atmosphere that is beneficial to residents and family alike - from the reception staff to admin, housekeeping, management and, of course, the special carers themselves. Mum received end-of-life care in her room at Raleigh Manor, and we will be forever grateful for the fact that she was allowed to die with dignity in her own bed surrounded by people who clearly cared deeply about her.

Raleigh Manor was originally chosen for respite care following a hospital stay. We chose it without even visiting it as we live so far away. Naturally, we were very concerned as to what it would actually be like. We have been so lucky and cannot rate it highly enough. The transfer from hospital went smoothly and everyone has been so kind and helpful from the cleaners, kitchen staff, carers, handyman and management. Nothing is too much trouble and we all felt that Mum was being well cared for and loved, so much so that she has been there 9 months now. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Raleigh Manor for all that they do for mum and for being there for us too.
