About
Mistley Manor is a care home with 84 registered beds in Manningtree, Essex. The home says its team works with residents and their families to find the type of care that suits each person, and adjusts that care as needs change. Its stated aim is a homely environment where residents can enjoy a good quality of life. Families receive help at each stage, from the first enquiry to information about funding options, and the home says this is explained in plain language.
The Care Quality Commission rated the home Good overall in a report published in 2019. It also rated the key questions of safe, effective, caring and responsive care as Good, and well-led as Requires Improvement.
