Abbots Leigh Manor Nursing Home is an imposing 19th Century manor house one mile from the Clifton Suspension Bridge. Kathy Bauer RGN is our home manager and we have a team of qualified nurses on duty at all times. We have both single and shared rooms all are fully furnished with en-suite facilities, private phones and televisions.
We enjoy an elevated position with wonderful views over the Severn Estuary and surrounding countryside and we stand in the expansive gardens laid out by Sir Egbert Cadbury.
All our bedrooms have en-suite facilities (some with showers), nurse call points, telephones, televisions and internet access. Our communal rooms include two lounges, two dining rooms and a conservatory. We also have a bar where residents and their families can socialise.
The Way We Care
The Care Quality Commission inspection report rated us – GOOD
Our Rooms
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).
Dining at the Manor
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.
Activities
Our activities team organises 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.
My mother died recently in this lovely home. She was well cared for always looked lovely & clean & fresh. Room was spotless & smelt lovely & staff were always friendly. Unfortunately I reside in Lincolnshire & could not visit as much as I would have liked. But I knew she was getting excellent care . Thank you for everything and excellent home.
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.
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 withindividual 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.
