At Stow Healthcare, we see every day how meaningful connection, familiar routines and moments of comfort can make a real difference to those living with dementia. One beautiful example of this is the special bond many of our residents share with animals. Across our homes, animals play a much-loved role in daily life.

Horkesley Manor was delighted to welcome residents, relatives, friends and members of the local community to its recent open day, offering visitors the chance to see the home, meet the team and enjoy a relaxed afternoon together.

At Horkesley Manor Care Home, we understand that families are not just looking for expert care, they are looking for reassurance, warmth and a place that truly feels like home.
