The Laurels & Pine Lodge

from G H (Relative of Resident) published on 10 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We attended a family day last week. It's unfair to single people out because SO much effort was put in by so many people, but their team put in an incredible amount of work (I witnessed it from early that morning) preparing for the afternoon of fun. I sat in a group of five residents three of whom
had family with them. We had a brilliant afternoon, happy, cared for and stimulated. With this level of care and love, I am not surprised that my relative has improved beyond recognition since arriving at this home six months ago.
By the way, it's difficult to pay tribute to people just by using their initials!

All the team at Laurels & Pine Lodge have made Mum really comfortable and included. She settled in straight away and made a choice to stay on after her initial 2 week respite which was so good as as a family we were concerned for her safety alone at home.
Thank you to all the staff for making her so
welcome and for all that you do, she has gone back to how she was 2 or 3 years ago.

I have generally found the staff and leadership to be helpful and caring towards residents. Also the staff I have met have been helpful. As a family member, it is really important to know that Dad is being well looked after. Thank you for your good work. It would be helpful to find a solution to losing
items of laundry - e.g. if you can recommend suitable ways to label.
Reply from Nikki Clark, Hospitality & Wellbeing Lead at The Laurels & Pine Lodge

Firstly, I would like to thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. We are so pleased to hear your father has settled in so well to life at The Laurels and Pine Lodge. We are also so thrilled to hear you are pleased with the care and support at the home. Unfortunately, there is a long-standing concern over laundry and we apologise for the missing clothes, we will endeavour to sort this out in-house. Thank you again for leaving a review and I will be sorted to pass it on to the staff at The Laurels and Pine Lodge.

Always look forward to visiting mum as I care for a brain injured husband so its enlightenment for me. The residents make me laugh with the things they say, they are all so happy without a care in the world. They are all so well looked after and loved by the staff who I find work really hard and put
the residents needs first. I couldn't wish mum to be in a better residential home. Thank you all.

Whenever I visit, the staff always know where my mother is and what she is doing. I'm very happy with the care and attention she receives. Full marks to the entertainments staff who, in addition to organising events, spend a lot of time just interacting with residents. Management staff are approachable
and always prepared to assist with inquiries.

My mother-in-law has been in this rest home for nearly 9 weeks and my husband and I are delighted with the care and attention she is receiving. After the initial 8-week respite period we didn't even bother looking at other homes, why would we? The food is excellent and a really good variety and the
level of care is a really high standard. My mother-in-law now always looks clean and tidy. She is warm and safe, thanks to the friendliness and hard work of the carers. The manager is always approachable and accessible.

Amazing care home. They take extremely good care of my grandmother. They do regular events and activities, and most of the time, they get all the family involved.

Often come around dinner time due to work commitments. The food always looks healthy and appetising. Staff always ask residents what they would like from a great choice. They treat them with respect, however, can be overwhelming with the noise/seating arrangements. I also feel at the end of the day
when I visit the smell of urine can be strong, if I have the opportunity to visit early in the day this does not happen.

Lovely homely care home where I feel the carers all know my mum. The food always looks wholesome and plenty of it.
The only thing I feel at the moment is that the home is feeling really full and at dinner time there doesn't always seem space for everyone.
Overall though I can't commend the home
high enough when I know my mum is very happy.

Positives: Nice family-friendly atmosphere and the staff are welcoming and friendly, despite the difficulties of the job. Residents are encouraged to join in with the activities. The food is varied and excellent and all individual tastes are catered for. There is only one negative in that repairs to
the room can take a long time. The remote for the TV doesn't work and we haven't had this replaced. Sometimes a lack of staff - but think that's a nationwide problem. But I would recommend this care home to others.

Grandad seems very happy at The Pines, in better-than-anticipated and feeling well at home. It's heartwarming to see the carers getting him involved in activities, even though I know he can be stubborn and still be able to see his lovely smile on social media. I feel he will be happy and settled here
until the end of his life.
