Manor House
Cornwall Road - £1860 per week
Very beautiful place, immaculately clean. In between Duchy Road and the Valley Gardens. Very highly reviewed online across sites, Google etc…
All levels of Dementia. Mild on the lower floor and advanced upstairs
Secure - mum can’t leave unaided - staff do take residents out for walks if requested
Food in restaurants at the end of each hall.
You stay on your level and can mingle and chat with others
They can look after advanced cases. The time that they are asked to move on is if they become aggressive or sexual with other residents or staff. The lady I spoke with had been there since it opened and 3 people have had to be moved on.
Rooms are all furnished with en-suite
All general care is looked after, washing, clothes etc… Theres a hairdresser, chiropody which is an extra cost.
We can take mum for an afternoon tea if we like so she can see it and they can meet her. A care assessment will be needed to determine what floor to be on. She can also go for a respite visit for 2-5 weeks to see how that goes.
The rooms are currently full, the waiting list is short and it costs nothing to be on it. They will call if a room becomes available and if its not the right time we can go back on the list. All seemed no problem.
The people I saw there and in particular those on the top floor we’re far more advanced than mum and quite a few years older. Many had one to one care helping them eat etc… So she would be one of the youngest there.
