The Manor House Roundhay care home

My mum has dementia and recently became unable to cope and required a brief time in hospital. We had to remove her from hospital because she was so distressed and after staying with us we realised she needed full-time care. As we walked through the doors of The Manor House we could not fail to be impressed by the beautiful decor but more than tha… Read moret we felt at ease as the manager showed us round. The careful detail to the cafe area, the sweet shop, the self-playing piano and the way the manager knew the name of each resident and stopped to check on them. We of course were more than anxious about how Mum may settle in after the disastrous time in hospital but the carers seem to know just what to do to distract each resident and not only that they were great at putting our minds at rest too. It's never a problem if we want to dine with Mum even on Christmas Day. Mum's life is very full with so much going on to keep them entertained, our favourite being the Strictly Come Dancing final!

Having known my friend and his family for many years I was told he was in the Roundhay Manor on Park Avenue Roundhay. I called to see him last week, well what a fabulous home it is indeed, warm, and friendly it's more like a 5-star Hotel with beautiful views over Roundhay Park. My friend was more than happy there he told me as he proudly took me to… Read more see his room and then into the lounge area with a well-stocked bar for a Brandy and Ginger ale or a nice coffee and mince pie, he told me that the food was like a restaurant and what I saw of it was correct. The manager and staff could not do more for my guests and me. I would love to live there myself when I am older. I hope there will be room for me. Thanks to all the staff at Roundhay Manor on behalf of my friend.

My mum is currently residing at The Manor House after a spell in hospital. It's a beautiful home with a kind, caring and very helpful manager. The team are fabulous with my mum who it's fair to say was a little reluctant. Mum is enjoying wonderful food, looks well and seems happy - she's even been enjoying some social activities.

Our mum has dementia and has been in the The Manor House Roundhay Care Home since October, her 3rd care home. We are so fortunate to have found the Manor House, part of the established Anchor Group. The building is amazing, in a fabulous location, overlooking Roundhay Park. Internally, the decor, fixtures and fittings are stunning, more like a luxu… Read morery hotel than a care home. The care mum is receiving is outstanding, the care team really do care about mum's challenges with dementia and treat her with kindness and dignity. They also try to include her in the varied program of daily activities. The food is amazing too, in beautiful dining rooms. The Management team is professional, kind, efficient, supportive and very approachable. This was so important to us when choosing a home for mum. Care homes aren't cheap, but we were surprised to find that the fees are around the same as we'd been paying at the previous care homes, a result I assume of Anchor being a not-for-profit organisation. Thank you to all.

Mum moved into this home 6 weeks ago, it's a beautiful home with a full programme of varied activities. Mum has dementia and she's been getting increasingly anxious and depressed, the staff have done everything to make her feel welcomed and settled and help her to join in with events. They have reviewed her medication with the doctors and started h… Read moreer on anti-depressants which has reduced her anxiety by a large amount. The staff are lovely and the facilities are second to none and always make us feel welcomed and included. They also bring their dogs in from time to time which Mum enjoys. Having an on-site hair salon and a chiropodist coming in regularly is also a great help. She has a beautiful room with a lovely bay window overlooking the playing fields and I'm sure she will enjoy the balcony overlooking the garden in the summer. I am happy that she's in the best place she can be.

My friend moved into The Manor House 4 weeks ago and in that 4 weeks there has been an immeasurable improvement in her both physically and mentally. I cannot overstate how much we appreciate the efforts of all the staff to help my friend accept her changed circumstances. On entering, you don't think of The Manor House as a Care Home as it most clos… Read moreely resembles a first-class hotel. My friend's room is spacious and beautifully furnished with units where she can display personal items brought from the house that no longer meet her needs, and that gives her the sense of a home from home. The chef adapts his menu to ensure my friend gets to eat food that she enjoys. My friend is happy with her own company and her TV and her decision not to take part in communal activities is respected (although in time of course she may well change her mind about that). The Manor House is very new, but I foresee that it won't be long before there is a long waiting list for rooms to become available.

My father arrived in the care home about a week ago. He had been in another home but moved him because of the proximity to my sister's house. He has dementia, and has become completely disengaged from any socialisation. We were worried about the move, however - can't believe the difference in him within one week. The staff have been incredibly pati… Read moreent and encouraging and he is a different person. He got involved with the group and seems very happy. We are delighted.
