Tuxford Manor is a purpose-built care home in the town of Tuxford, Nottinghamshire. Our home has a superb reputation locally and we are proud to be part of the local community.

Facilities at Tuxford Manor include various lounges, a hair salon and our ever-popular café. Our reception café was recently refurbished, creating a relaxing area for residents to sit with their family and friends over a cup of tea and a slice of cake.

Outside, our home benefits from extensive gardens leading on to a large field to the rear of the home. An area of the field has been allocated for raised vegetable beds to enable green-fingered residents to enjoy growing their own fruit and vegetables.

We support our residents to continue with the daily activities and routines they would have done in their own home. Our residents particularly enjoy baking and preparing vegetables. Our care team also accompany residents to the local shop to buy their morning paper if they wish to do so. Entertainers visit our home regularly and we often welcome students from the Tuxford Academy as part of our active volunteer programme.

Who we are

CareHomeAdvisor is a website for the consumer (usually someone thinking of entering a care home or their relative) to understand quickly and clearly who the best care providers are so they can make an informed judgement. We only cover nursing and residential care homes for older people (over 65), including dementia homes. Entry into a home is often a result of an emergency with the decision made in a short time frame, so having access to the right facts all in one place and to the right people who can give informed advice is critical.

How we can help

Independent – we are owned by LaingBuisson, the healthcare market intelligence provider that supplies the Office for National Statistics with data on the independent healthcare market. We are not aligned with any care home provider, we do not allow advertising by any care home provider on our home page and we are endorsed by organisations such as Age UK, Saga and Ipsos MORI who run Your Care Rating.

Impartial – we don’t use TripAdvisor type rankings. We use data from LaingBuisson, the Care Quality Commission, NHS Choices, Your Care Rating, Food Standards Agency and Health & Safety Executive. We do this because judging the quality of care is not as straightforward as judging the quality of a restaurant or hotel – it is complex and emotional and we therefore focus on objective, moderated facts and the views of experts in care.

Real-time – our website is linked directly to the underlying databases so if anything changes, our website updates itself immediately so you always have the latest and most accurate view on any home.

The Carers Federation Adult Carer Support Service provides a wide range of appropriate & impartial information & support for all carers across Nottinghamshire who look after someone with an illness, disability or frailty; or is experiencing mental health. Our team work with carers on an individual basis to identify what support they need, they will also refer & signpost to other relevant organisations where appropriate.
