What people are saying about us

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

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.
