What others say about Great Horkesely Manor Care Home

Great Horkesley Manor

Debbie C (Daughter of Resident)

"When looking for a care home for mum, we were sent to some places of which one was heartbreaking at the thought of any old person ending their days in it. I then looked at Horkesley Manor which was an uplifting moment and gave me hope that there were indeed good, respectable and caring places out there."

Great Horkesley Manor

Sandra B (Mother of Resident)

"Immediately we stepped in through the door, it had a homely feel and we were made very welcome. I like the wide corridors around the courtyard, with large windows giving the impression of light and space. I was in there for several hours each day and all the staff were extremely helpful in any request I made. Although my son was unable to communicate this was not a problem for the staff and they went out of their way to include him at every turn. For his needs, I do not think we could have chosen better."

Great Horkesley Manor

Wendy T (Sister of Resident)

"From the moment of entering the home, we were greeted by friendly and caring staff. Over the past few weeks, they have been very understanding and helped us as a family to make the decision of moving my brother into the home. We know this was the best decision. We have never looked back. Thank you to Great Horkesley Manor."

Keith M (Husband of Resident)

"My wife has been a resident at this care home for almost a year now, she seems to be very happy and content there. The staff are very friendly and comforting, making my wife feel very secure and content. She always looks forward to her meals and tells me she enjoys them. The home is always clean and tidy when I visit, and her clothes are well laundered and well presented. The manager is very efficient and is always looking at ways to improve the home and surroundings, to give the clients warm and homely surroundings."

Great Horkesley Manor

Robert R (Son of Resident)

"My father has been at Great Horkesley Manor for over a year now, he had to move from a home he loved. He settled in well. His bedroom was decorated including curtains to his taste and choice. His dog lives with him, when dad is unwell the staff take his dog home if necessary. I can highly recommend Great Horkesley Manor to anyone that is looking for a nice friendly good loving home..."

"Mum came to Horkesly Manor 3 weeks ago for respite care. All the team have done a truly fantastic job looking after Mum. They made her feel so at home and were very caring and attentive nothing was ever too much for any of them. The rooms were spotless and had everything she needed. Thanks to every single member of staff for making my mum so comfortable and putting all her family's mind at rest that she was in good hands."
