Your compassion is more than a duty - it's a gift you share so freely, whether through a gentle word, a reassuring smile, or staying that extra moment to make sure someone feels safe and valued.
You go above and beyond, time after time, in ways that may seem small to you but mean the world to those
in your care. You bring dignity, warmth, and joy into a place where it is most needed, and you do it with a genuine heart.
Thank you.

Review from Darren F (Resident) published on 15 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Lyle House is a wonderful, extremely well managed environment. The manager and another member of staff create a great place to work and a lovely place for the residents to live.
My siblings and I rest easy knowing that our Mother is well extremely cared for. The home has a lovely family feel, and
that very much comes across in the way staff and residents interact. The surroundings are welcoming, the food is terrific and the staff, without exception, are extremely dedicated caring individuals.
Regular activities and excursions are available. Last week a member of staff took Mum to Barnes Common, which she thoroughly enjoyed.
At the end of the day later life catches up with all of us, and, when my time comes, if I am lucky enough to get a place at Lyle House, I'll be a very happy chap.
In summary, an exceptional place to live. A warm friendly family environment, backed up exceptionally friendly staff, plenty of good food and stimulating activities.
Five stars all the way. Thankyou for taking such good care of Mum.

I stayed for a week in respite care. My overall impression was excellent. I didn't take part in the activities because of my condition, although invited to do so, so couldn't comment here. I have a special diet and so provided much of my own food which staff were very good in assisting me with, hence
satisfactory. If in for longer I'm sure the kitchen would be able to provide food more suitable for my diet.

Lyle House is run by a lovely group of people who are dedicated and on hand during the day and evening.
A very clean environment with freshly cooked food every day, there is plenty to eat. Also, there is a café and a little pub as well with outside seating areas in the garden and lots of space for
all of the residents. A fantastic environment for the residents.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Mum has been at Lyle House since January and the lift has been out of action twice leaving her and others stranded on the third floor, one lift for seventy residents and staff is inadequate. Poor communication with staff. Lengthy waits for medical issues to be addressed. Total lack of engagement from
staff with residents (often seen on their phones - not leading activities). Manager and her deputy have been quick to respond to complaints but impossible for them to oversee true picture daily. I have found dirty clothes put back in Mum's wardrobe.

Review from Vernon B (Husband of Resident) published on 9 October 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Lyle House tries to maintain an adequate level of staff, but like all institutions experience shortages at times due to personnel leaving to cut travel times, or earn a little more. This has resulted in difficulties with home managers. The lack of a regular receptionist means others have to cover. This
must lead to staff stress. So sometimes I do have difficulty understanding what some staff are saying due to their speech patterns, and my partial deafness.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Overall, I have observed that my mother is receiving adequate care and attention at the care home, for which I am grateful. However, I do have a significant concern regarding her dietary needs, as she follows a pescatarian diet and does not consume meat. It would be beneficial for the staff to be more
attentive to this aspect of her dietary requirements.


On a positive note, I have noticed that some of the staff members engage in friendly conversations and share moments of laughter with my mother, which is heartwarming to witness.

Review from A L (Son of Resident) published on 6 July 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
The home is well-appointed and well-maintained. It’s clean and the staff keep residents clean and comfortable. It does not feel crowded and there are some interesting concept rooms like the cafe, the pub and the cinema room. The garden is ok, well designed at least for keeping residents cool in hot
weather. Most of the reception staff are very capable and friendly. There seems to be quite a turnover of management which is a little unsettling, 3 managers in 3 years I think. Some of the care staff are truly excellent, some better than adequate and one or two seem a little lacking in empathy and basic practical skills. Activities are bought in, like singers and these are usually of a reasonable standard and quite entertaining, and the activity coordinators try hard to maintain a weekly programme, but I wonder about the lack of more intimate therapeutic engagement that might actually challenge and slow the inevitable descent into dementia. My mum and I have become quite fond of the team.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.645)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.645) out of 10 for Lyle House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.716 for Lyle House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (133 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 162 Ratings = 4.716
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.929 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Lyle House Care Home is based on 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 14 = 0.929
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
