Lambwood Heights took my father in after a lengthy stay in hospital. I cannot fault the care and attention he received whilst here. Even though it was a short stay, I cannot have higher praise for the home and staff.

I have always said I would never put my Mum into care. The time came and I had no choice but to do this, the control was taken out of my hands. I felt hopeless, I had viewed many care homes and it was making my decision even harder. I came to view Lambwood heights. From the minute I walked in the door
I was greeted by happy faces from the staff and most importantly the residents. This immediately put me mind at ease. Every single member of staff had a smile on their face and greeted me. The staff member was very knowledgeable and could answer any question I had.
The facilities were amazing the place was fresh and clean and I immediately felt at peace with my decision and comfortable.
Mum had arrived and settled in so quickly after spending 4 months in hospital. Thanks to the amazing staff showing love care and understanding. The activities are excellent they always go above and beyond.I cannot thank the staff enough for supporting, caring and bringing out the best in my Mum

Reply from Sally-Ann Wakeham, Client Relations Assistant at Lambwood Heights Care Home

Many thanks for your lovely words feeding back on the wonderful care and beautiful environment. I have shared with the team who are very appreciative of your gratitude. It is an absolute pleasure having mum stay with us and thrive as she is, it's wonderful seeing her so happy and knowing you trust us to care for mum.

I cannot recommend Lambwood Heights highly enough.
My father received nursing care on Cherry Mews unit and was always shown kindness, patience and compassion. Staff are so supportive and caring to both residents and family members.
Lambwood Heights is an immaculate environment, visiting family members
all commented on the beautifully decorated rooms and lounges.
Lambwood staff supported us throughout my fathers stay, they are all truly amazing people who we will never forget, I would recommend this wonderful Care Home to anyone that is considering care or nursing care for a family member.

Reply from Sally-Ann Wakeham, Client Relations Assistant at Lambwood Heights Care Home

I had heard of the high standards of Lambwood Heights and when my friend asked which home she should go to, I had no hesitation in recommending it.
On my first visit, it was obvious that the home is well run, clean and the residents well looked after.
My friend had nursing needs and she was so very
well attended to and looked after in Cherry (second floor).
A big thank you to all the staff at the home at all levels. The atmosphere is friendly and caring. It's like an extended family.
Thank you Lambwood Heights.

My husband is a relatively new resident and the family were worried about him accepting the situation and settling in. We have been surprised that he has done both which is a huge relief. We are greatly encouraged by the kindness and respect shown to him as he suffers from Parkinsons and Dementia. The
staff genuinely care about his welfare and have also supported me through this difficult transition. I feel confident leaving him in their care as they are an outstanding team.

The furniture and the warm interior design makes it very homely and accommodating for both resident and patients.

My husband is a relatively new resident but you cannot but be impressed with the care he receives. The staff are kind, thoughtful and caring and extremely patient. He is taking a while to settle but with their help I feel it will be achieved. In this review I particularly want to mention the Activities
Staff. The joy they bring most afternoons is exceptional.
No way could he be described as a foodie! However, he tells me the food is good and he has no complaints at all.
They have enabled him to have care staff which best suit his needs and this had a profound effect on his daily routine and confidence.
I am advised not to mention particular staff in writing this review so I just want to say that they listen to him and me and make adjustments where necessary and possible. With their encouragement he has also taken advantage of the visits they make in their mini bus and the small group outing is helping break the transition.

My partner has been in Woodland Grove for over eight years. It is an excellent care home with excellent staff. There is a lovely atmosphere the moment you enter the reception area. I looked at a few different types of homes but were very pleased we chose Woodland Grove. Well done to the managers and
staff.

Both mum and dad have been at Lambwood Heights Care Home for a year now. The care has been excellent and their medical requirements have been carefully monitored. The staff are very caring, friendly and helpful. There are plenty of activities to keep them entertained. At the end of last year mum and
dad celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary, and the home provided a lovely party for them and their family, which was impressive particularly as it was on Christmas Eve. Mum suffers from Alzheimer and dementia and dad from Parkinsons. We have been lucky to keep them both together. Unfortunately we lost dad at the beginning of the year. This was handled with sensitivity and respect. We have the comfort of knowing that he was well looked after to the end and mum will continue to be so.

I just wanted to say thank you to the staff on Primrose Wing for the care and respect they showed to my father when I was over visiting in January. Nothing seemed too much trouble.
The staff were cheerful and caring.
The opportunity to take dad downstairs to the bistro for biscuits and a cuppa when
I visited was very much appreciated.
The food always looked to be of excellent quality.
Dad really enjoyed the visit from the music therapist.
Thank you

My mother had an amazing 80th birthday party. The room was beautifully decorated and the food was outstanding. Every single person commented on how lovely the experience was for them and Mum. It surpassed my expectations. There was a huge range of foods provided covering vegetarians and non-veg people
- and the cake was perfect. One of the best parties we've organised for Mum and she's still talking about it two weeks later! Thanks to the whole team involved.

A new experience which I had to get used to. Staff have been kind and helpful. I miss my pets and would love some contact with animals. I would welcome more opportunities for intellectual conversation e.g. about Shakespeare or books. Physically I'm not very agile but I like to keep my brain active.
