What people are saying about us
Francis Vella
Overall Experience
5.0 out of 5
The home is well managed, clean along with exceptional staff that really demonstrate that they care for the residents under their care. They are very helpful if you have a problem and will resolve. They treat the residents and the visitors that attend with dignity and respect. I really can not fault any of them. They looked after my mother all the way to end of life and my heart thanks go out to them all.

Overall Experience
5.0 out of 5
I went to view Conewood Manor in April 2019 for my mother-in-law with trepidation, having been through a similar experience in another area for my own mum. I knew straight away I didn’t need to look any further!
The welcome was lovely, the building light and airy and above all there was laughter and conversation.
I felt instantly that my mother-in-law would be in safe and happy hands here and I was right.
Conewood looked after her well for 13 months, much longer than anyone expected. And as a family we were always welcomed and looked after.
