Review of
Lincoln House Care Home
from Ian T (Son of Resident) published on 7 August 2025

Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Our beloved Mother has been in Lincoln House for 6 months now & overall we are very pleased with the care she is receiving.
There have been some staff changes & periods where the nursing & care staff have been under huge pressure, but generally they take great care of mum, ensuring her needs are met

& she is happy. The frequency & range of activities that a member of staff & the team put together are fantastic & Mum really enjoys taking part in whatever is going on.
The rooms & communal areas are a bit dated but they have just started a full refurb so I'm sure that by the time that is finished the Home will be a warm & welcoming place for both residents & visitors.
We will never get the level or care that we would give mum at home on a 1-to-1 basis, but that wasn't possible so Lincoln House was our next best option & we are happy with the way that they look after Mum, but more importantly she is happy there which is the top priority as far as we are concerned.

Reply from Helen Caul, Interim Manager at Lincoln House Care Home

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are currently refurbishing Lincoln House and will keep all relatives updated with the progression.Mum is happy and settled at Lincoln House and she is a pleasure to care for. All of the family are positive and supportive and staff always welcome your visits. I will share your review with all the staff at our next meeting as this does mean so much to them.

Overall Experience

I have been very pleased with the level of care for my Mum who lived here for four years, she passed away in May this year. My Step-father continues to receive good care here.
I feel the care and all the services with in the home have continued to improve since my parents first moved there four years

ago. Now at a very high standard in comparison.
Certain members of staff have gone beyond the call of duty to improve the care of my parents.
I have found staff easy to approach and engage in any concerns for my parents. I am very happy to recommend this care home.

Reply from Natalie Gray, Registered Manager at Highfield House Care Home

Thankyou for such a beautiful review. We miss your mum terribly, and we are lucky to continue supporting your wonderful stepfather. We really appreciate the recommendation, and we take pride in the care and support we give to the people who live here.

Review of
The Paddocks
from S B (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 18 June 2025

Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

From start to finish the communication was appauling. Concerns raised verbally and then in writing were ignored, only when they were reported to CQC was any action taken. Bathing once every few weeks is considered OK, poor oral hygiene, urine bottles not emptied and left on bedside tables all day, urine

soaked sheets left on the bed and the duvet pulled over (no wonder the home has that urine smell throughout), regularly told by carers they are "short staffed". Regular medication errors. RESPECT form and paperwork going missing. No regular updates of accidents. Sensor equipment never used properly or working. Asking for a doctor for 3 weeks to no avail and he ended up in hospital. 6 months there 24 falls and only 5 were witnessed! Unexplained bruising. Residents shouting for water and staff ignoring them. The list is endless of the lack of care this service provides.
Being told by the manager they would call the new care provider to warn them about the family is an absolute disgrace!!

Reply from Viktor Zak, Operations Director at The Paddocks

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We deeply regret that the experience did not meet your expectations.We would like to point out that the review is not accurate and reflective of events, the context and circumstances. The resident was fully able to make their own decisions, and we respected their autonomy in line with our duty of care. While we understand the family's concerns, our approach was guided by the resident's rights and preferences. There are instances where family's expectations may be unrealistic e.g. reducing number of falls even further. We regret that we were unable to fully meet the family's expectations in this case.Written evidence was provided to CQC contradicting your claims above. Our commitment to continuous improvement remains steadfast, and we are dedicated to providing a safe and comfortable environment for all our residents.We are committed to ensuring that The Paddocks remains a place where residents receive the highest standard of care.

Overall Experience

We feel so lucky to have chosen this care home for my Nana.
From management , reception, kitchen, hosts to care staff, we have no complaints.
The minute we walk through the door, we are so welcomed by the staff, every single one of them. We feel like family.
The service, host and hostesses seem

hidden but they are golden to the home. Along with the cleaners and laundry.
The wellbeing team are a blessing in disguise.
I can't rate this home highly enough, if I could give them 1000 stars I would, 5 stars doesn't seem enough for the care, support and welcoming presence.
They've tended to my Nanas every need, no stone left unturned. I am so grateful to everyone that works at St John's for the attention and care my Nana has received. I recommend St Johns. Thank you all x

Your recognition of the entire teams dedication and care is deeply appreciated and will be shared with everyone involved.Thank you once again for your recommendation and for trusting us with your Nanas care.

Our Dad arrived a few weeks ago and has settled in very well right from the first day. He enjoys the meals - especially the breakfasts, and is happy being looked after and helped every day. As a family we feel reassured that he is happy in this new environment and we now have peace of mind about him

and that he has full supervision, help and support night and day. Yesterday it was a pleasure to see him join in and engage in some activities during the afternoon, All the staff are very friendly and helpful and the house and extensive gardens are lovely. We're very happy that Dad is in Highfield House.

Overall Experience

I became a resident at St Johns in order to recover from a hip replacement operation. The staffed showed complete professionalism at all times whilst retaining humanity and compassion. Their patience, even in the early hours of the morning, was spectacular. I was there for 3 weeks and never saw anything

except exceptional care for all residents. The building is light, airy and kept very clean. The activities are varied and stimulating and the food is excellent.

Reply from Emma Bayne, General Manager at St John's House

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We're truly grateful you chose St John's for your recovery, and we're delighted to hear that your experience with us was such a positive one. It means a lot to the whole team to know that their professionalism, compassion, and dedication-day and night-made a difference during your stay. We're also so pleased you enjoyed the environment, the activities, and the food! Wishing you continued good health and a smooth recovery from your hip operation. You're always welcome at St John's.

Overall Experience

My father recently stayed at St Johns House for a 2 week respite, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. The level of care, support and consideration shown by the staff was outstanding. Every effort was made to ensure he was comfortable and well looked after, and the team consistently

went above and beyond.
The staff struck a perfect balance between professionalism and kindness. They were friendly, supportive, and genuinely caring in their approach. It was also heartwarming to see how welcoming both residents and staff were to our family whenever we visited.
The home itself is spacious with a great variety of rooms and communal areas to enjoy, including the lovely coffee room and the grand piano! It made a real difference to have such a well-thought-out and inviting environment.
Thank you to everyone at St Johns for the exceptional care you provided and we look forward to another visit soon.

My dad has lived at Highfield House for two and a half years. I have always found the staff to be amazing, so caring and kind, nothing is too much trouble. They look after my dad and all his quirky ways with kindness.
The management are brilliant and always keep me up to date with what's going on with

my Dad, even the small things.
If I have any issues I just call and they go and check on dad or sort out the issue no matter how small.
I feel so lucky that we found this fabulous care home and would 100% recommend the care there to anyone.
Thanks for the continued care for my dad it's really appreciated.
The only reason I have put a 4 for food and drink is that dad loves big Yorkshire puddings and is not keen on the ones at Highfield, but the food is great.

Reply from Natalie Gray, Registered Manager at Highfield House Care Home

Thankyou so much for this lovely review. We absolutely adore your dad and he always brings us such joy and fun!

Overall Experience

I spent 2 weeks in St John's following knee replacement surgery. It was ideal for my needs following major surgery, just being cared for. The facilities in the home are excellent and the staff all friendly and helpful. They did not appear to have staffing issues although I was mainly independent. Food

was good, although I feel supper was too early at 4:45 is hard, a light meal with nothing else until breakfast some 15 hours later. The need for pain relief in a reasonable time from asking was sometimes frustrating and painful, especially at night. When offering these services maybe this should be addressed.

Reply from Emma Bayne, General Manager at St John's House

Thank you for sharing your experience. We are pleased to hear that you found the care, facilities, and staff at St John's House to be excellent and that your stay supported your recovery. Regarding your comments on pain relief, we understand how important timely medication is, especially post-surgery. Unfortunately, we must adhere to strict regulations around the storage and administration of controlled drugs, which can sometimes lead to unavoidable delays. We appreciate how frustrating this can be and will continue to review our processes to ensure the best possible experience for our residents. With regard to meal times, we recognise that an early supper may not suit everyone. A light menu is available 24 hours a day on request, we appreciate your feedback and we will make this clearer in our welcome guide. Thank you again for your valuable insights-we always strive to improve our services and appreciate your feedback. We hope you are continuing to recover well.

Most of the staff are amazing they care for the residents as they would care for their own family they work super hard and nothing is too much trouble.

seem happy and they have a great selection of entertainment keeping everyone active and occupied. Super grateful for the carers.

Overall Experience

The new manager has tightened up things, and it feels a lot more professional - her experience with dementia is a bonus as is visiting without the need for pre-booking - messaging by phone is swift and reassuring. Always a friendly welcoming atmosphere, clean, nicely decorated, no smells, and a lovely

team of people in all departments. The few I didn't rate highly have left. It would be good to meet the night staff. All staff work long hours and it would be nice to feel they had a little more time to check on frailer residents with dementia - things such as warmth and general comfortability and tidy wardrobes and drawers etc. The tea trolley is always a welcome treat especially the homemade cakes!

Initially, the home has well-kept gardens, frontage and interior. The management are very good, and try to accommodate your requests and new residents. Staff are friendly and hard working. The interior is bright and importantly clean. Each room has ensuite facilities. The home is warm, but not overheated,

which is ideal. There are communal, clean areas for residents and visitors, a courtyard, and well maintained rear garden. I would think Highfields would be one of the best residential homes in the region, overall very good.
