Overall Experience
5.0 out of 5
The staff and care at Conewood Manor for our Mum, who has sadly passed away now, exceeded our expectations. We so appreciate the arrangements that were made by the staff for us to spend time with our Mum in her final days. Thank you so much to the staff who cared for my Mum, they often spoke warmly of her which gave us peace of mind knowing that she was in good hands and really well cared for.

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.
