Overall Experience

My aunt has been in Lavender House for over four years now. She is happy to live there and loves all the staff and has nothing but praise for them.
Lavender House is very homely and has a good garden to relax in. When visiting the staff are very helpful and friendly and always make you feel at home.

Overall Experience

My experience with visiting Lavender House. Over the last few years, we have found all the staff excellent and they treat all the residents with care and respect.
No matter what time of the day we visit, the residents seem to be very happy and smiley.
We are always made very welcome and nothing is

a trouble to them. Staff are always available to listen.

Review from Matthew C (Son of Resident) published on 18 December 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

My father is a resident at Lavender House and I can honestly say I wouldn't want him anywhere else.
The home is a credit and a beacon of hope for many people in an industry that fails on so many levels.
The staff treat every resident like they are their own blood. They go above and beyond to ensure

that the residents and their families are always looked after.
The only other thing I can say is a premium brand of lager don't do care homes but if they did they would be like this one.

Overall Experience

My husband has been in Lavender House for the last three and a half years. The care, love and support both he and our family have received is second to none.
The management and staff are so dedicated to all the residents and nothing is too much trouble for them.
I couldn't be happier knowing that

when I leave he is in safe and loving hands. I couldn't wish for anything more.

Review from Hayley M (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 November 2017 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Deciding on a care home for Mum was probably the hardest decision we have ever needed to make. Worrying whether she would settle, and concern over the care she would receive. From day one, we knew we had made the right decision in choosing Lavender House, and feel that we now have a huge extension

to our family! The staff are always welcoming, inclusive and caring, treating all of the residents with the dignity and respect they deserve. Mum is so happy and content, and most importantly safe. The staff are always on hand to help with any requests and welcome us at any time of the day or night. Lavender House provides such a happy environment for residents and their families. There are not enough words to thank the manager and her team for their amazing care and dedication, and we feel so grateful to have found them.

Reply from Carey Ely, Manager at Lavender House

Hayley how lovely and we feel privileged that we are your family as we certainly feel the same. Thank you so much.

Overall Experience

Mum has now been at Lavender House for about 8 months.
Initially, we were unsure where mum would be happiest and best cared for. We couldn't have chosen better and could not have wished for a nicer "home from home".
She is now very content, happy and safe. The staff are all consistently warm, welcoming,

attentive and dedicated to all residents in their care. Lavender House provides a wonderful, safe, happy environment for residents and visitors treating all with dignity and respect.

Lovely to read such a positive review and recognition for the dedication my staff team show.

Overall Experience

My dad has been at the home for a few years now. He has a wonderful connection with the staff. They have given him the respect, care and dignity, knowing how to adapt to each stage of change in his care. They have continuously supported us as a family but most of all my mum who visits 3-4 times a week.

We are made to feel very welcome and listen to our requests and wishes to help us continue being a family. The staff and management are fantastic!

Reply from Carey Ely, Registered Manager at Lavender House

Thank you Lee and this makes me so proud of my staff team who are very dedicated to their career in care and I know they care with hearts... but so nice to hear from family.

Overall Experience

I write this on behalf of my brother, sister and myself.
Thank you for the dedicated and compassionate care you showed and provided Mum during these last three months.
Within days of arriving in November, she very quickly referred to Lavender House as home and the staff as her family.
That she settled

in so well is a testament to the marvellous caring ethos displayed by all the staff.
You made her final time comfortable, respectful and dignified.
We will always remember.
