How much does Park Manor cost per week?

Weekly fees at Park Manor start from £1,100. Costs may vary depending on the level of care required.

Does Park Manor accept NHS or local authority funding?

Park Manor accepts self-funding, local authority funded, and NHS Continuing Healthcare residents. For NHS Continuing Healthcare eligibility, refer to NHS guidelines (https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/social-care-and-support-guide/money-work-and-benefits/nhs-continuing-healthcare/).

Is Park Manor a nursing home or a residential care home?

Park Manor is registered as a residential care home. This means the home provides residential care without on-site nursing as its main service type. Source: CQC registration data (https://www.cqc.org.uk/location/1-2204616886).

Does Park Manor provide dementia care?

Park Manor specialises in dementia care. This includes Alzheimer's disease support. The home is CQC-registered for this specialism (https://www.cqc.org.uk/location/1-2204616886).

How do we score dementia-specialist homes differently?

We do not treat the phrase 'dementia care' on its own as proof of quality. On RightCareHome, dementia-specialist homes are checked more carefully for dementia-specific fit signals such as whether dementia care is registered, whether secure or wandering support is clearly published, whether nursing cover is available when needs are more complex, and whether inspection or family feedback supports that positioning. If wandering support is not clear in the public data, that becomes a follow-up question rather than a positive signal.

How many beds does Park Manor have?

Park Manor has 21 registered beds. The home provides residential care without nursing. Source: CQC registration data (https://www.cqc.org.uk/location/1-2204616886).

What do care home reviews say about Park Manor?

Park Manor has a 4.7 out of 5 rating based on 16 independent reviews.

Park Manor is rated "Good" for Safety by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). No enforcement actions are currently recorded. Source: CQC inspection report (https://www.cqc.org.uk/location/1-2204616886).

Park Manor is operated by XMILPAY LIMITED (Companies House number: 15261548). Ownership type: independent.

Has Park Manor had enforcement actions?

There are no current enforcement actions recorded against Park Manor by the CQC. Source: CQC registration data (https://www.cqc.org.uk/location/1-2204616886).

Is Park Manor at risk of closure?

No public source can guarantee whether Park Manor will close, but families can still check for warning signs in the available records. Public company records currently suggest low public financial risk for the provider. No current enforcement actions are recorded. The latest inspection schedule is currently 75 months past the expected timetable. Closure risk should be judged alongside inspection history, fee pressure, and what the manager can explain on your visit.

Is Park Manor's CQC rating improving or declining?

Recent inspection history for Park Manor looks stable rather than clearly improving or declining. The most recent inspection we reference was on 20 December 2019.

How do Park Manor's fees compare to the local average?

Based on current local pricing benchmarks, Park Manor's published weekly fees from £1,100 look below area average. Final weekly costs can still vary depending on the level of care required.

How do I know if I'm paying too much for Park Manor?

Start by comparing Park Manor's published weekly fees with the local care home benchmark. On this page, those fees look below area average. Lower pricing can be a good sign for affordability, but families should still check what is and is not included in the weekly rate. The safest way to judge value is to compare price against care fit, inspection strength, and the unanswered questions you still have after reviewing the page.

What is Park Manor's food hygiene rating?

Park Manor currently has a Food Standards Agency hygiene rating of 5 out of 5. The latest published hygiene date is 30 August 2023. Source: local authority food hygiene records.

What questions should I ask when visiting Park Manor?

When visiting Park Manor, start by asking the team to ask to see the latest inspection report and what has changed since it, ask how staffing levels work on day and night shifts, and ask how families are updated when needs change. These questions help you test whether the public picture on this page still matches day-to-day reality inside the home.

What does our visit checklist include for Park Manor?

Our visit checklist for Park Manor starts with the basics families often miss: the latest inspection report, staffing levels across day and night shifts, how the team updates relatives when needs change, and how care plans are reviewed in practice. On RightCareHome, the page-level checklist is then extended with personalised follow-up questions based on the home’s inspection, review, financial and practical signals.

What do review patterns actually suggest?

We analyse family and staff feedback across platforms to surface repeated themes, contradictions, and concerns that a few snippets or star ratings will miss.
