    Review

    Melody Manor is a charming and homely senior living facility with a Victorian aesthetic that resembles more of a cozy home than a motel. The attention to detail in the restoration of the old house is evident, with beautiful woodworking and a winding staircase that adds to its charm. However, one reviewer mentioned that the presence of stairs made it less ideal for their mother who had blindness, despite the availability of a stairlift and assistance from staff.

    The owner-manager is the main point of contact at Melody Manor, as there were no other workers seen during the visit. The facility itself is quite impressive, offering nice rooms and a pleasant dining hall. The location by the river provides a quaint and tranquil atmosphere away from busy traffic. It also offers convenient access to nearby eateries and bus transportation for those who are mobile.

    The caring and dedicated staff at Melody Manor have made a positive impact on residents and their families. One reviewer expressed appreciation for how well they worked with their father and took a personal interest in his well-being during this difficult transition. Cleanliness is another notable aspect of Melody Manor, creating a comfortable living environment for residents.

    Melody Manor consists of two converted houses joined together to provide a home-like setting for seniors. Residents appreciate the caring nature of the staff, who go above and beyond to ensure their comfort. The reviewer noted seeing homemade bread in the kitchen and festive decorations during their visit, which added to the warm atmosphere.

    One potential drawback mentioned by another reviewer is the distance from their location, as Melody Manor was an hour away. Affordability may also be a concern for some individuals or families with limited financial resources. Despite these factors, this reviewer emphasized that moving their loved one might not be necessary due to the excellent care provided by Melody Manor's staff.

    The facility offers various room options, including singles, doubles, and some with four beds. Bathrooms are conveniently located either attached to the rooms or just across the hall, and there are showers available for residents to use. The staff is highly regarded for their attentiveness and compassion, which has garnered the appreciation of both residents and their families.

    Overall, Melody Manor is described as a beautiful and welcoming senior living facility that offers a comfortable and caring environment for its residents. Its Victorian charm, dedicated staff, clean surroundings, and pleasant location contribute to its appeal. While factors such as distance and cost may be considerations for some individuals or families, the positive experiences shared by reviewers highlight the exceptional care provided at Melody Manor.
