It's been a difficult time for my Auntie as she adjusts to leaving her beloved home at nearly 50 years and giving up her independence. She has been shown such love and kindness, as have we. Now there are lots of things going on in her day (she spent 4 years isolated at home since her first stroke in 2020) and she enjoyed the company. I can't thank everyone enough.
Thank you so much for your heartfelt review. We are grateful that we could be a part of her journey during this significant transition.

I am very happy with the care my mother receives. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The facilities are good and residents are treated with a personal touch. There are a variety of regular and special activities. The accommodation is good and the building is well maintained. Apart from the lift which is often out of order. I am very satisfied with how The Lawn has provided for mum.
Thank you for your kind review, it is greatly appreciated.

Having visited a few care homes I knew that The Lawn would be the best place for my mum’s long-term care as she had become unable to live independently. She was assessed by the manager whilst in hospital and we were able to make her room homely with items of her own furniture before she arrived. The staff have been wonderful in caring for her and helping her come to terms with not only living in a care home but also the change in her physical abilities. There is a good range of activities, accessible to everyone (even visitors!) and the grounds are just beautiful, whether for a stroll or just viewing from the window. The food is good and freshly cooked, served in an airy dining room, where families can also be included. The Lawn has a warm and homely feel, all staff are friendly and helpful and are a great support, not just to my mum, but also in reassuring me of the difficult decisions that had to be made on her behalf.
Thank you for your kind review, it is greatly appreciated.

My father has only been at The Lawn for a short time but I am very impressed by the dedication of the staff and management. Not only making sure that my father is comfortable and feels safe but also giving the time to family members' worries and concerns. My father has always had set daily routines and knows exactly what he likes and doesn't like. The Lawn is very good at adapting to an individual's every need and wants, meal choices, time they get up etc.
Thank you for taking the time to complete this review. It means a lot to our staff to be recognised. We will continue to make sure that your father is comfortable and safe at all times.
In all aspects good, most excellent.

The Lawn management and staff, not only go the extra mile for special occasions such as birthdays, they endeavour to make all family meals celebratory. Craftily -folded napkins and small gifts are much appreciated and contribute to happy times. Thank you all.

From our initial contact with The Lawn Residential Care Home, when we were seeking care accommodation with some urgency, through the assessment process to our arrival and the installation of my mother, the staff and manager were all very welcoming, positive and flexible. My mother seems settled in a comfortable room which she likes and is developing a rapport with the carers assigned to her. We are relieved she is being cared for in a place of safety where she is becoming more content. Thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to complete this review. We are pleased to hear about your positive experience. We are pleased that your mum is building a rapport with the carers and she likes the room. She has built a positive relationship with the other residents.
I attended a Mother's Day lunch. The food was excellent, and the staff were so helpful to the residents without being patronising.

Our mother has been cared for at The Lawn Residential Care for ten years. She has enjoyed the programme of activities arranged for the residents and the gardens where the lawn is situated. In the early days, we could take her around the village and occasionally out for lunch. The care and respect she has received from all the staff are admirable. She had many happy years there and we were always made welcome when we visited.
Thank you for taking the time to complete this review. Your mum has been a great part of our community and she is greatly missed. Thank you for acknowledging the staff.
Our mum has been a resident for ten years - she has been very happy and we have always been impressed with the caring way she has been looked after. The home is secure but I was given a door pass to enter the home, which works very well. The staff are lovely and really care.

"I have worked in the Care Sector for 27 years, including having helped set up and run a care agency for about eight and a half years; but my care career journey began following a career as a Sign Writer and Engraver.
I’d always wanted to work in the Care Industry as I had, and still do have, an inbuilt need to be able to have a positive impact on somebody’s daily life; it’s one of the most rewarding elements of my role.At The Lawn, we have a caring, kind and devoted Care Team who are all dedicated to delivering individual, bespoke, great care to each resident and respite guest – I really couldn’t ask for a better team.
No two days are the same, but each day is totally fulfilling. I really enjoy making the residents smile and listening to their life experiences. My motivation is to support the older people we care for and show them the respect, compassion and empathy that they deserve.
Being able to support older people, having a positive impact on their day, offering reassurance so they know that I’m listening and will do everything within my power to help them is at the heart of what I love and am committed to doing, every day."
