What people are saying about us

Overall Experience
5.0 out of 5
We are very pleased to be able to highly recommend this Care Home. The dedication of the staff is second to none, a great example of this is that in the 22 months our mother was under their care, there were hardly any changes in personnel and we have to say that we have made friends for life as well.

Overall Experience

This is about my sister who has spent at least 8 years in Conewood Manor with Alzheimer?s and who recently passed away. I would like to say a big thank you to the way the staff have looked after her over the years, treating her with love and dignity by day and night, where nothing was too much trouble. The home during that time has improved in many ways, refurbished, new equipment and well managed by the latest management company.
The staff l would love to thank over her time at Conewood.
