Making Abbots Leigh Manor
Your Home

We provide 24-hour nursing care for older people including those with terminal illnesses.

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

Kathy Bauer RGN has been our home manager for 23 years. She leads a stable and committed team of nurses and carers and we never use agency staff. We encourage our residents to make their own daily decisions and we are as flexible as our residents want us to be. We can provide care for terminally ill individuals and our specialist knowledge in this area enables us to provide the necessary physical and emotional support for both resident and family in these difficult situations.

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.

Testimonial from family
Posted on

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.

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.

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.

Short Stays

Respite Care
We offer respite care. This is may be to help someone recuperate after a spell in hospital or to give family carers a break. New friendships are made and we often see respite residents more than once!
