My mom spent her final week at The Manor in Bluewater Bay, and I will never forget the compassion every single staff member showed during that time. It was the hardest week of my life, but they treated her with dignity, gentleness, and genuine care. Amber and Taylor, in particular, went above and beyond in ways I will always be grateful for.

My mom spent her final week at The Manor in Bluewater Bay, and I will never forget the compassion every single staff member showed during that time. It was the hardest week of my life, but they treated her with dignity, gentleness, and genuine care. Amber and Taylor, in particular, went above and beyond in ways I will always be grateful for. They didn’t just do their jobs — they cared. Every person I encountered was patient, kind, and present. They made sure my mom was comfortable, and they made sure I felt supported too. I cannot thank The Manor enough for the way they cared for her in her final days. They are truly special people.

My dad had to enter the Manor this past February two recoup from a back surgery. I was quite apprehensive, but one Jessika, one of the great folks who worked there really took extra time to make us feel comfortable. With the high level of care we received, my father made a full recovery.and is back on his own. Highly recommend!

I would rate The Manor as a five star. Recently my sister & friend stayed at The Manor. All Staff Members were very caring & helpful. The rooms were clean & the food served was enjoyable. They both enjoyed the beautiful Courtyard Garden. Best Health & Rehabilitation Facility for sure.

My father was a patient from 2016-2019. He was very well cared for. Staff, including administration, nursing, dietary and maintenance were always professional and attentive. There were many activities that Dad could participate in. Bingo was his favorite. If our family were to need skilled nursing care facility we would choose the Manor at Bluewater Bay.

My mother in law was a patient at the Manor for several weeks. During her time at the facility she received excellent care. The staff kept us well informed and included us in decision making every step of the way. They also ensured that, we as the family, were made to feel comfortable during our times visiting.

Just want to say what a great job and attitude Skye in the assist dining room has been. All the young ladies take great care of my sister. Skye is just a ray of sunshine never a scowl on her face always a smile with a can do attitude. Thank you Skye

Update: They needed the private room for a quarantined patient. So Mom is now in a double. She fell the 4th of Oct. The positive: She has lots of room, and enjoyed her roomate. The negative: She has had rude and rough caregivers on this wing. We do not want that for our mother. She has had a rough time. She is 89. This is not alright with us. She has been there for 9 weeks. The kindness she had on the first hall, is much different here. We are in the process of getting her moved back to the first hall. You must stay on top of your loved one's care. First review: Our Mom fell and broke her left shoulder and hip. We disregarded the negative reviews on here, toured this facility, and really liked how bright and colorful the entire facility is. The others in the area were way too institutionalized. My Mom was able to get a private room and that has been such a blessing! The entire staff at this facility are top notch- sadly, there's just not enough of them. We feel like we need to be there 24-7 to meet her needs. The food is not too bad. She isn't very hungry, but she is able to find something on the menu she likes. Thank you for all you do. Thank you for doing your best for your patients. Update: They needed Mom's private room for a patient needing to be quarantined. She is now with a sweet roommate. She absolutely loves John, Grayson and Jasmine, and RN Kara. They have been wonderful with her.

My wife spent 4 weeks at the Manor. I found that they were very professional, experienced, and considerate of their patients. In particular, I'd like to commend Jasmine our CNA. She was the sweetest thing and so responsive to my wife's needs. Then there was George, the physical therapist, who worked so hard to help her get stronger. He also helped me to learn how to handle her better. Finally, Leslie, the speech therapist. She attentive as my wife's dietary needs changed. If she saw my wife needed something right away, she would arrange it.
