Lawnfield House Reviews (44)
Lawnfield House has a Review Score of 9.6 (9.607) out of 10, based on 9 reviews in the last 2 years.
Over all time Lawnfield House has 44 reviews.
The carers in Lawnfield House are very dedicated, patient, skilled and caring people. They look after my mother and previously my father, as well as all the other residents in a genuinely kind and authentic manner.
Whilst it's my observation that every carer on every shift (including the often overlooked nightshift folks) are all excellent & highly skilled individuals, I must especially callout the ladies and gentleman working on the 3rd Floor as we have the most interaction with those carers. They are truly fantastic! Additionally, we shouldn't forget the staff that work so hard in the kitchen who prepare and serve some delicious looking meals multiple times per day. And it's all done with a smile...
And finally, a mention of thanks to the managers Monique & Abi as well as several other staff members that organise Residents' Activities, Religious Services and other general personal needs of residents. MSD.
Thank you so much for your lovely words and thoughtful feedback. We are honoured to have been part of your father's later life and truly appreciate your continued trust in the team at Lawnfield House to care for your mother. It means a lot to the whole team that you felt genuine support for both...
Here's a review for Lawnfield House:
---
My mother was a resident at Lawnfield House, and I cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional care she received. Every staff member demonstrated genuine compassion and professionalism, but I must particularly commend Nora, Edna, and Casetta, whose dedication to my mum's wellbeing was truly outstanding.
Lauren, the manager, was exemplary in her communication, keeping our family consistently informed about any changes to my mother's care. This thoughtful approach gave us tremendous peace of mind during what can be a difficult time.
Monique at the front desk went above and beyond in coordinating external appointments for hairdressing and podiatry, handling these arrangements with efficiency and care.
The facilities themselves were impeccable. My mum's room was always clean and comfortable, while the communal areas and gardens were beautifully maintained and created a welcoming, homely atmosphere.
I would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you for your really wonderful, kind, complimentary and inspiring words that you have shared on your review for Lawnfield House. They were so lovely to read. I will certainly be sharing your wonderful words with the staff team, particularly...
My father is a resident at Lawnfield House and has dementia. He is treated with the utmost respect and dignity by all the staff, who are kind, patient, and always make sure he's comfortable and supported. The home is well managed and has a lovely, homely feel. The management team are professional and approachable, and communication is good - we're always kept up to date and feel confident that he's in safe hands. There's a real sense of community, and there are plenty of activities to get involved in if you wish. Every time we visit, we're made to feel genuinely welcome, which really means a lot to our family. It's a warm, caring environment, and we're very grateful for the wonderful care my father receives. I would highly recommend Lawnfield House.

Some things really stood out as making a difference:
Getting to know the residents and their families very well and encouraging everybody to join in.
Keeping us informed of any illness, concern and the overall well-being of our parents.
The size and layout of the care home. Lawnfield House has a small number of residents, with just a ground and first floor with some outside space, so it always felt intimate, safe and very caring.
We are extremely grateful to everyone at Lawnfield House for the love and attention they have shown to our parents and to us, and for making a difficult time so much easier.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for taking the time to post a review for Lawnfield House. Your kind words about our staff team are very much appreciated, valued and welcomed. A little praise can go a long way for our staff team for the work that we do, so thank you. It was an...

The staff are always kind and patient with her and they communicate well with me on the phone and when I visit. The manager and administrative staff are accessible and responsive to any questions or needs.
Her room and the en-suite are always clean, the hairdresser visits regularly and on the few occasions when a GP visit has been needed, the staff organise it promptly.

Your mother's comfort, well-being, and safety will always be our top priorities, and we are committed to ensuring she...
My mum has been in Lawnfield House for the past six years. She has extremely complex medical needs as well as Parkinson's dementia. The staff and management go out of their way not only to take practical care of Mum but emotional care too. They are loving and kind. If they think there might be something wrong, they do not hesitate to call me. For the past six years I have turned up at the Home unannounced at all times of the day and night and have never found it to be anything other than warm professional and caring. I cannot recommend this Home highly enough. The managers are kind, capable, conscientious and respectful. And my mum's care team are loving and kind to my mum and all the residents. It is a hard choice to put a loved one into care but I have never regretted my mum being at Lawnfield House, it is a home away from home. Not just for Mum, but for me and my brothers, too.
What a beautiful heart-warming review you have submitted about Lawnfield House and our staff team. We read out your review to the staff team at the end of last week. The staff had huge smiles on their faces. A little praise goes a long way, and you have just given our staff team a massive amount...
My aunt has been in the Lawnfield home for a year now. We are very pleased with the care she receives. The staff are very friendly and caring towards her. The staff are very welcoming towards us when we visit and are also willing to answer any questions we have. The home is very well maintained and my aunt's room is kept very clean. The management are at hand to answer any queries that arise. We have attended a couple of parties there to celebrate special occasions. They were great times with a brilliant atmosphere and all the staff took part. She is very happy at Lawnfield. Thank you all for looking after her.

My mother has received great care and attention since moving into Lawnfield House. The home is clean, all members of staff are kind and caring, two special ladies do daily activities, which mum enjoys and attends all.

My wife and I were moved into the home at short notice after she broke her hip at a previous home and then spent time in hospital. She died from complications soon after, leaving me here on my own.

Had wanted him out for a few months before he eventually went to the hospital with dehydration and a chest infection. The hospital wanted him back there but the care home wouldn't take him back, unfortunately, he broke his hip in hospital. This care home says it's a specialist in dementia but many of the staff don't know about dementia. There was no heating working properly on the ground floor. I had to buy a heater. I was told the heating hadn't worked for 7 years. My dad was left to wander out in the garden at night by himself. I asked for a lock to be put on the door but couldn't as said was a fire door despite being 2 fire doors. A few care staff are nasty and disrespectful to both residents /family members. Bedding lacking /towels frayed/holes bed wet with urine regularly.
Thank you for your feedback. I am very sorry to read that you found some issues with our care home. I am also sorry to hear that your Dad sustained a fracture to his hip while in the hospital, and I am sorry to hear that you had a negative perception of Lawnfield House during your Dad's short time...
This was my first time putting my mother in respite, and this was everything we hoped for. My mother was well looked after. The experience was so good that my mother is wanting to return to the home where her friends and the nice nurses are. We a looking into the possibility of a longer stay. Thank you all.
I would like to thank you for taking the time to submit a review for Lawnfield House. It was lovely to see your 5-star ratings and to read your kind and thoughtful words about your Mum's respite stay at our care home. It truly was an absolute pleasure having your Mum stay with us at Lawnfield...
Dementia is a disease that can’t be cured, but here at MHA the staff treat my dad with so much care. They are kind and considerate to his everyday life and his needs.
As a family, they have been very accommodating with our transition to Lawnfield House. Regular visits and day outings with my father has helped us tremendously to cope with his disease.
Every member of staff is friendly and supportive. I definitely would recommend Lawnfield House to anyone that’s looking for care for their loved ones.
It was so lovely and uplifting to read your very positive review for Lawnfield House and your very kind and thoughtful words. I will certainly share your kind words with the team as I know that they will mean so much to the team. We really do love having your Dad stay with us here at Lawnfield...
