The Manor House Knaresborough care home

I can't thank the staff enough at the Manor Knaresborough for looking after my mum initially and then my dad. We were lucky that there was a room available for my mum who has dementia for respite whilst my dad was suddenly taken into hospital with Pneumonia. And then even more lucky that another room was available for my dad to be reunited with my … Read moremum for a week of recovery for himself.

From initial contact to final goodbyes the standard of care and support from The Manor House team could not be improved upon.
