The garden features raised beds filled with fragrant herbs and seasonal plants, accessible pathways for easy movement, and plenty of shaded seating areas where residents can rest, chat or enjoy a quiet moment with a cup of tea. From the gentle rustle of leaves to the smell of lavender or mint, the garden offers a safe, engaging environment for everyone – including those living with dementia or sensory impairments.
We encourage residents to take part in light gardening if they wish, and many enjoy helping to water the plants or simply spending time outdoors with family. The space is fully enclosed, so residents can use the garden independently while remaining safe and supported by staff nearby.
Whether used as part of an activity, a place to gather with others, or simply a moment of quiet reflection, the sensory herb garden is an important part of life at Manor House. Nature has a calming effect, and time spent outside can help reduce anxiety, lift mood and support better sleep.
Families are always welcome to join their loved ones in the garden, and the space is often used for one-to-one time, reading, or celebrating special occasions in the warmer months. It’s just one of the ways we help residents feel at home, connected and supported in body and mind.

Life at Manor House Care Home is centred around kindness, dignity and understanding. From the moment someone joins us, we take the time to get to know them – not just their health needs, but their life story, preferences and routines. Every resident receives personalised care, developed in close partnership with their family and healthcare professionals, to ensure they feel safe, respected and truly at home. With 24-hour care delivered by qualified nurses and a dedicated support team, we provide specialist support for a wide range of physical and mental health conditions, including dementia, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and the effects of substance misuse.
Beyond clinical care, life at Manor House is about community and connection. Daily activities such as baking, crafts, singing and games help residents stay engaged and active, while one-to-one sessions and meaningful conversations add a personal touch. Our in-house café, sensory gardens and on-site hair salon all help to maintain a sense of independence and normality. With freshly prepared meals, homely surroundings and thoughtful touches like birthday cakes and seasonal celebrations, we strive to create a warm and uplifting environment where every resident can thrive.
