My 90 year old friend and neighbour became a resident at Lyons Court, Chelmsford at the end of Dec 2025. As a result of the outstanding care and support which she has received there, she has settled well and is very happy. Her room is beautiful, well equipped and spotlessly clean. She has her meals in a beautiful dining room and also has the use of a communal lounge. A range of activities are available including seated exercise classes and church services. There is also an onsite hair salon and a chiropodist who visits regularly. The food is excellent and the staff very caring and supportive. Her laundry is always undertaken in a timely manner and special thanks go to the Managers, Gemma and Lorraine, who are extremely helpful answering all manner of questions. In short, my lovely ex-neighbour and friend has found a professional, caring environment for this new stage of her life. I would have no hesitation in recommending Lyons Court, Chelmsford to anyone needing residential care.
Thank you for sharing such heartfelt feedback. We're delighted to hear how well your friend has settled and that she's enjoying the warm, supportive environment and all the experiences on offer. It means so much to know she feels happy and cared for.

Thank you for your lovely feedback for our team at Lyons Court. It's wonderful to hear that your mum is so well cared for and comfortable with us. We appreciate your kind words and support, thank you for sharing your experience.
My son was a resident at Lyons Court care home for a number of years where he received the very best love and care. You hear horror stories about care homes. This does not apply to Lyons court and was treated with absolute love and respect. The premises were always in absolute first class condition. The food in line with a top hotel and if he wanted anything it was there for him straight away I could not forget the place. My son loved it there.
Thank you so much for your heartfelt review, the team will be touched to read your comments and are honoured to have been able to care for your son with such care and respect. We will be sure to pass your wonderful comments on to the home manager and her team, thank you so much for sharing your experience.
Having visited a number of Care homes we chose this establishment.
Mum has dementia.
The management staff have been very supportive, and professional when giving advice to move Mum in, that was very useful and took a lot of the stress out.
Mum has a lovely room, which is clean and tidy and spacious.
It's the small attention to detail that impresses my family.
A bath once a week ( they have an electric chair that lifts the resident into and out of the bath. Also a sensor so the water is not too hot or cold)
Milkshakes once a day to help with energy.
Also, the 'activities' each morning to simulate, when they can is great. So residents are not just left in their rooms.
Thank you Lyons staff on my Mum's final journey.
Thank you for sharing such heartfelt feedback for our team at Lyons Court. We're so glad to hear that your family felt supported during the transition and that your mum is so comfortable. It's wonderful to know that the team's attention to every detail have made such a positive difference. The...
My mum has been in Lyons Court for nine years. She has been very happy there and has always found the staff to be kind, caring and compassionate. They have always given her the best care and have often gone the 'extra mile' in arranging for her to have her hair done or by painting her nails for her. We have been extremely happy with the care that she has always received there and found all of the staff to be very welcoming and friendly. When Mum's health deteriorated they communicated with me continuously and I was always kept up-to-date with all of the doctor's visits and everything else that happened. Unfortunately, Mum passed away recently and she wanted to be in Lyons Court, the place that had been her home for so long. A big 'thank you' to all of the staff that looked after our Mum so well for so long. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing such heartfelt words about your mum's time at Lyons Court. The team will be touched to hear that she felt so happy and at home with us for so many years. We're truly grateful for your kind recognition of our staff's efforts to provide such compassionate care and make her feel...
Our Mother is always saying "They are wonderful" and we agree with her.
Recently she has been unwell and the staff have made our Mother and ourselves feel that she is safe and supported in all aspects of her care.
Thank you so much for your kind words for our dedicated team at Lyons Court. We're delighted to hear that your mother feels so safe, supported, loved and cared for, especially during her recent illness. Your feedback is greatly appreciated, thank you.
I just wanted to thank and commend all the staff that have welcomed my 103-year-old nan over the last two months, she feels part of the Lyons Court family, the staff all go the extra mile to make Nan feel special from chatting to her, baths, cups of tea and booking her hair and nails in, the support and communication to family has been over and above what we could have asked for. Nan's health since being at Lyons Court has really improved, she no longer feels alone, has made some wonderful friends, loves the yummy food which is clear as she has put weight on! She looks wonderful we are very proud of her and to see how the staff have invested in Nan and all the residents is something very special, so huge thanks to you all we really appreciate your hard work, kind and patient natures. Look forward to Nan's next chapter at Lyons Court, you’ve certainly all given Nan a new lease of life, thanks.

Thank you for your review the team at Lyons Court will be proud to read your comments and we welcome your mother-in-law to Sanctuary Care.
