Making Abbots Leigh Manor Your Home

Our rooms are fully furnished but we can normally make space for any items of furniture a resident wishes to bring with them and, within our locality, we are happy to collect these items. Residents are welcome to move within the home if a preferred room becomes available and we have a number of very spacious rooms which are suitable for married couples. We don't have any visiting restrictions and visitors are welcome to dine with residents at any time (for which there is no charge).

Our residents can have their meals in their room if they wish but we encourage everyone to come to the dining room for lunch, if they can, as this is the main meal of the day. Choice is available at all meals and snacks or drinks are available at any time of the day or night. Our bar, the ‘Manor bar’, opens twice a week for pre-dinner drinks and for special occasions and light alcoholic refreshments are available at all mealtimes. We have a mobile shop which sells toiletries, confectionery, cards and so on.

Our activities team organise daily entertainment and activities and our gardener runs a weekly gardening club. We also have a large greenhouse and a sunny patio overlooking ornamental ponds, a beautiful rockery and expansive lawns. Residents who want a change of scenery can enjoy a car ride to local places of interest or attend our local church. Our activities team also helps with personal shopping, outings, appointments and contact with family and friends and we have a laptop computer which residents can use to Skype friends and relatives anywhere in the world.  Our GPs visit at least twice a week and other healthcare professionals, such as physiotherapy, chiropodists, opticians etc. visit regularly.  Our hairdresser visits 3 days during the week.

 

     Testimonial from family 25th February 2020......The facilities are excellent and throughout her time at Abbots Leigh, my mother experienced the highest quality of care.

    We were impressed by the effective way that the nursing staff worked with local GPs and provided a caring, supportive environment that she appreciated and valued. 

    Abbots Leigh also benefits from an active community life providing a stimulating environment. In her last days, we were impressed by the compassion she received with

    individual carers remaining at her bedside. Abbots Leigh helped us greatly with the practical and emotional difficulties of the period leading to her death. We would have no

    hesitation in recommending Abbots Leigh to anyone seeking a nursing home for an elderly relative.

 

     Testimonial from family 21st December 2019......Just a quick note to say how much we appreciate the effort your staff put into Abbots Leigh Manor to ensure there is

    plenty of  interaction and stimulation for the residents. We have noticed a significant improvement in our mother's mental wellbeing since arriving in Abbots Leigh - Thank you.

 

     Testimonial from family 16th December 2019......We looked at three nursing homes that day and were in no doubt that we wanted our mother to go to Abbots Leigh

    Manor. From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed. Our greatest wish is that everyone at the end of their life may be so fortunate to find a place which

    offers so much knowledge, experience, care and compassion.
