Lavender Oaks Care Home

from Tracie B (Power of Attorney of Resident) published on 24 September 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We've visited many homes before settling for Lavender Oaks, and it hasn't disappointed. Residents are encouraged but not forced to join in. They have a wealth of experience in dealing with residents. Food is in abundance with good choice. Afternoon tipple of G+T or other drinks help everyone! Entertainment
and activities are great with trips out to nearby towns and garden centres. Everyone looks well cared for and most importantly, happy.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This December will be the eighth year that my friend will have spent at Lavender Oaks. She is in Butterfly, the Dementia suite. I am so pleased with the care that she is receiving. She is very happy and the staff are marvellous with her. The care and attention she receives is first class, they really
know and understand her and it is always a pleasure to visit her.
The home is so warm and welcoming to visitors too. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff and the Bistro is a lovely area where we can sit and have coffee with the residents.
Reply from Peter Haysom, Home Manager at Lavender Oaks Care Home

It is great to hear you are happy with the care your friend receives and that you enjoy your regular visits. It has been a joy to have her as part of our Lavender Oaks community these past years.

Lavender Oaks Care Home

from Peter G (Nephew of Resident) published on 17 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My uncle was nearing the end of his life due to terminal cancer and gone blind due to macular degeneration.
He had been in and out of hospital on several occasions towards the end of 2024, so was no longer able to be at home and Lavender Oaks accepted him into the Care Home without a moments hesitation.
The care and attention he received was first class and his family and friends couldn't have asked for anything more. Although he was only there for less than 2 months all members of staff and medical specialists were exceptional, keeping him comfortable and pain free to the end. His family and friends were able to visit and share final moments, the church minister too which was important to him. As he loved listening to the radio his room was generally filled with music and a good collection of Christmas cards during the festive period. Thanks Lavender Oaks for all you did.
Reply from Debbie Armstrong, Home Manager at Lavender Oaks Care Home

Thank you for taking a moment to leave us a review during this difficult time. It was an honour to care for your uncle, and we miss him dearly. Please know you are always welcome at Lavender Oaks.

From initial contact to moving in, the experience has been excellent. All of the questions have been answered or anticipated. All the staff have been amazing, smiling and making us feel at home. My mum has felt special and wanted from the first meeting.
I can honestly say I saw 5 homes and this home
was the best one for atmosphere and warmth of welcome. I am very happy to entrust my mum to the care of the home and I know she is very happy.

From our initial enquiry to my sister-in-law being placed here everything has gone smoothly.
The client services manager made a big effort to get my sister-in-law in quickly as she was so unhappy at her previous care home. All the staff have made an enormous effort to get her settled and happy. We
can't fault the home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I can't recommend this facility and staff enough. All Staff, accommodation and food outstanding and so helpful. I was recommended by a friend and was met with standards surpassing his high marks.
Thank you to the staff for being so helpful at the start, I recommend this place 100% and they offer both
respite and permanent care.
The care system is a minefield when you enter it for the first time and Lavender Oaks and the staff were the only ones who had any sort of knowledge and help through the process.
Thank you again.

When we first walked through the doors we felt welcomed and all the staff have been amazing. Nothing is too much for them. The home is clean and homely, the food is great and the facilities are great. The care my father-in-law has received has been incredible. They're so kind and caring we couldn't

From the very first viewing, we have been so impressed with the caring, empathetic staff. Everyone at Lavender Oaks goes above and beyond to make sure the residents are cared for. My dad has taken time to settle, which they have allowed him to do. He is now a permanent resident. We are very grateful
for all the wonderful care, food, activities, etc, he receives on a daily basis. We feel supported too. Thank you.

All the staff are amazing, very friendly, supportive and caring. There are lots of opportunities to take part in activities, my dad particularly enjoys using the interactive table for music and the quizzes. His room is lovely with a view over the gardens. Dad has said he feels safe and secure here and
enjoys the company of other residents rather than being alone. The food is excellent and we are kept informed of any health or well-being concerns as they arise.

Thank you so much for leaving a review of Lavender Oaks. It is fantastic that you have found all of our team to be friendly, supportive and caring, but most importantly that your Dad feels safe and secure. We do have a great team, and I can concur regarding the food. Our chef has been with us for many years and takes great pride in delivering a delicious tasty menu. Thank you once again.

My mother-in-law spent a week at Lavender Oaks in April as we went on a family holiday. Her room was beautiful, all of the staff were kind and pleasant. My mother-in-law has very disturbing conversation topics due to her dementia, the staff took this in their stride and were very tolerant. My mother-in-law
had a birthday while there and they made this special for her.

Staff are understanding, proactive, very friendly and accommodating. Their commitment to making the residents feel 'at home' starts from the moment of entry. The views from the rooms at the first-floor level are comfortable and pacifying to the mind and allow a superabundance of daydreaming. Absolutely
no complaints about heating, there's plenty of it! A place to recommend to trusting friends.

Thank you for your lovely review about our home and the quality of care and service that we offer; it's great to hear the residents feel at home straight away, which is a great reflection of all the thought and effort that the whole staff team put in - thank you.

My mother was cared for at Lavender Oaks for 16 months before her death in August 2023. I lived fairly local and used to visit every couple of days and the way I was treated made me part of the team. She was always smiling as her care couldn't be beaten by all of the staff, I have moved further away
now but I still pop in and visit the staff in a way of thanks.
