The care is always excellent but, during the Covid-19 pandemic, the owners and staff have gone out of their way to provide a safe and happy home for the residents. Extra provisions of PPE for the staff coupled with testing facilities for both staff and residents have ensured all are kept safe....
The brilliant news is that the owners are trialling safe visits in the garden so we are looking forward to seeing our loved ones again shortly.

My mother moved to Lavenders 18 months ago and neither she nor the family has had the least regret or concern. It is superbly well run and the residents are at the heart of everything they do. The owners do not stint at making the surroundings as safe and pleasant as possible. The staff too are loyal and go above and beyond to create a friendly, homely environment. Family members are also treated with respect and consideration at all times. I can particularly commend the home for its approach during the Coronavirus pandemic. Every conceivable care and precaution has been taken to keep people safe and happy. Thank you all so much.

I have been really pleased with the care that Lavenders have given my mother. She is fitter and happier now than she was when she lived independently. All of the staff are caring and professional, the food looks and smells delicious, and the whole place is spotlessly clean. There are plenty of varied activities for residents. Lavenders have been particularly good at keeping in touch and providing Skype access during lockdown. Lavenders provides high-quality care for my mother and peace of mind for the rest of the family.

Any problems, medical or general, they are fast to resolve it. It has a lovely, homely feel, warm and inviting. The food is great and always has homemade cakes, everything is freshly cooked. I would not hesitate to recommend Lavenders.

Lavenders is a caring and clean home unlike some which greet you with the smell of urine and décor of some distant past. Their décor is fresh and modern. The folk who live here have always liked nice things and a nice home, not too much to ask now they need extra care. I would definitely recommend.

Lavenders is an exceptional care home. Residents are treated with dignity and compassion, they are provided with an array of opportunities to socialise during the week,m while at the same time having their privacy respected. Set in beautiful grounds, Lavenders feels like home. The buildings are far from institutional and the team of carers create the feeling of an extended family. My aunt has been delighted by the care she has received.
Lavenders has lived up to its well-deserved reputation in every regard from the moment Mother became a resident. The home is outstanding. Happy mother, happy family.

Management is efficient and professional but also very caring, kind and efficient.
I honestly cannot fault this care home for the way it treats every resident - and their visitors - with the utmost respect and care.

She has since transferred between three care homes.
The first was unsuited to her needs (it was a nursing home rather than a care home).
The second was in an old Victorian property where she had a top floor room accessible only by lift so she could only leave her room when staff were available to operate the lift. She spent several days and most nights locked in her room.
In contrast, Lavenders has been a revelation - ground floor room, good food, regular entertainment, lovely caring staff, medication/hearing aids etc dealt with conscientiously.
Grounds to walk in, close to the village.
In short, everything she could ask for.
I cannot commend this home highly enough.
