From a carer myself of 20+ years I thought it was going to be very hard to find somewhere that would look after my mum. My honest opinion is that the 2 1/2 years my mum was at Lulworth I was always more than happy that she was in good hands. All the staff were very friendly, patient and polite. I felt like not only was my mum part of the family but I was too. The end of life care also was exceptional. I can not praise everyone enough.

My mother became a resident at Lulworth House in 2015. She settled well and made friends with residents and staff. During her time in the home I have nothing but high regard for all the carers, they have all been patient and understanding. As my mother got older and her health deteriorated the care from the staff was exceptional. Mum passed away this month at the age of 105. I have enjoyed many happy occasions a the home and feel the staff are like family. So from me and my family, Thank you for the care you gave to my mum. The management and staff hold a place in my heart.

During her time here she was included in activities and days out from time to time. The home has various afternoon activities, for example, afternoon teas and barbecues during the summer which involved the families.
The home is very clean and well-maintained.
When it got close to our mum's end of life they showed a lot of compassion towards myself and my sisters and you could see the love and care they gave her. Over the years that Mum was here, she was very comfortable and very well looked after which gave all the family peace of mind.
Thank you Dave for reviewing our service. Our sincere condolences on the loss of your Mum, to you and your family. I know that the care team will be warmed by your kind words and recognition of the care and support they provided to your family and to those living in Lulworth House. Again, thank you.

The care home is a large, clean home with a garden, and is run by some lovely friendly staff who are very professional and approachable. They always keep you informed of any issues, but they also like to have feedback, one way being with their 'Resident of the Month' phone calls.
There are activities to join in with; Mum especially liked the baking and also the singing with the local entertainer, plus occasional trips out and themed events.
All in all a good care home, and to the staff I'd like to say thank you.

My mother-in-law has been a resident in Lulworth House for 2 years, following a stroke which left her unable to stay in her own home. The care she has received at Lulworth is outstanding. It is a medium-sized home, with a real family atmosphere. All the carers have been kindness itself, and have shown Mum genuine affection, treating her with dignity and compassion. My wife and I have forged a close relationship with all the care staff. The leadership is strong, and there is an atmosphere of calm throughout the home. In two years we have found nothing of concern, or cause for complaint, and Mum has been happy here. Several relatives of other patients have said much the same in conversations we have had with them.
