There is truly a family atmosphere at Lulworth. Families are involved in all aspects of their loved one care. All staff are friendly and treat the residents as part of their family. All residents are treated as individuals and staff take the time to really get to know their likes and dislikes. Good...
There are also regular family meetings for feedback, with key speakers to give helpful information to understand dementia and related emotional support to families. The manager of Lulworth is down-to-earth, friendly and helpful and always thinks ahead in her drive to remain a first-class care home.
My father will be 102 years old this year. He is happy and contented because of the high standards of care that Lulworth provides. Healthcare is also first class with a doctor on call.

We really do appreciate that you have completed this review and we will ensure that it is shared with the staff who will be incredibly pleased and proud of themselves - as they deserve to be. Thank you.
My dad stayed at Lulworth House Residential Care Centre recently. He had the highest possible standards of care and empathy shown to him. He sadly passed away a few days ago at the hospital. Thank you very much to you all for all that you did for him.

Since August when my mother was welcomed into Lulworth House she has consistently received the best of care. She has been shown such kindness and particular thoughtfulness in support of her strong faith. When visiting she always expresses her appreciation of the care given. Mum has experienced a number of health issues for which prompted medical advice has been sought and her condition monitored. I have appreciated regular updates too. My family and I are grateful for the sensitive care mum is receiving and feel reassured that she is in the right place.

Thank you for taking the time to write such a positive review for our home. We are so pleased you feel your mother is receiving the best of care. The team at the home work very hard to support the people we care for in a kind and caring manner and strive to ensure they can continue to maintain links to their community and cultural denominations where they wish to, and I am pleased that in your Mum's case, this is working for her. I will pass your comments onto the team at the home. Thank you once again.
Very good activities and entertainment.
Pity rooms are not ensuite (commodes are hated!)
Very difficult building as a starting point so less than ideal as a care home.
Everyone does their best with it.

Thank you for the review of Lulworth House, your feedback is appreciated and will be taken on board. We are very proud of the staff at Lulworth and are pleased you find them to be wonderful and helpful - We totally agree with you, a great bunch of people, hard working and committed to their residents. We will make sure they see your review. With regards to the rooms, with the home being a conversion, we are limited by building regulations and the plumbing system as to how many en-suites we can install, although there are some rooms at the home that do have en-suite facilities, maybe you could talk to the Manager and ask her to consider a change for your family member when one becomes available. The activities team do amazing things with the residents and I know they work hard to try and plan a varied activities and events calendar - the residents always seem to be having so much fun! Thank you for your time and comments.
A programme of activities is in operation in which residents are given every encouragement to take part.

Thank you for this very positive review, which I know the team at the home will be very pleased to have received. The team work very hard to ensure people in our care are comfortable and happy and positively engaged with fun activities daily, and I'm so glad that you see this when you visit your wife.
With kind regards
The home appears to be clean with attentive and motivated staff. Despite restrictions due to covid the home has continued to be as flexible as possible when arranging visits for family members.

This review covers my experience through the lockdown and it's difficult to comment on the cleanliness and food as I have not been inside the home. The management and staff have been amazing during this difficult time. Keeping the days interesting for residents with activities and stimulation. The safety and care of residents and staff have been of a very high standard and they couldn't have done more. I've been kept regularly updated and had weekly zoom meeting with my mum.

My wife was very comfortable at Lulworth House. She found that the staff were respectful and attentive, swift to help her when necessary. After she left she initially missed the friendly action at the home.

All the staff do an amazing job, they always make us welcome and keep us updated with any changes in Auntie's medication or her general health and mood. There are always plenty of activities for the residents and they can participate if they wish. We can’t praise Lulworth enough for the care and love they give, it definitely has a family feeling about it. The decor is also amazing, it has had a lot of thought put into it, making residents feel they are at home.

The love that is shown to all residents is wonderful to see and each person is treated as an individual. The key thing for me is that the carers really help Daddy to flourish in his situation.

After 21 months of joining the Lulworth family, we now don't know how we would manage without them! All staff at all levels are angels, they are caring and supportive to us, the families, as well as our loved ones (we have witnessed how difficult their jobs can be 1st hand). Plus, Lulworth's new...

I have found all staff to be extremely caring and helpful, who go the extra mile at all times to keep all residents in a happy, comfortable, environment. The food and drinks provided are excellent and plentiful. The indoor activities and external excursions are well organised and brilliant. If medical attention is required for any resident, it is organised very quickly and efficiently, family members are contacted and informed of the situation without delay.

Great effort is made to treat him with respect and to find out how to engage him following a stroke which severely affected him. It resulted in him being diagnosed with vascular dementia and suffering from visual and hearing loss. He is very settled now and enjoying his new surroundings. I am very happy he is in such a safe and caring environment.

My mother has been living at Lulworth House since February 2019. The standard of care and the staff are excellent. The staff are all so friendly and approachable. I viewed other homes before Lulworth, but the level of cleanliness, atmosphere and general observations were nowhere near the standard at Lulworth. I feel totally confident in my choice and feel secure that my mum will spend the rest of her life in a safe, loving caring environment.
Dear Debra, thank you for your lovely review of Lulworth House. We kindly welcome all feedback, as it is invaluable to us in supporting our Continuous Improvement Programme. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us and are delighted that you are so happy with the Home and the quality of care your mum is receiving.
Sadly my wife passed away on the 28th December. She had been a resident at Lulworth for almost two years. In that time I could not have wished for a better care home or staff. This is more of a thank you to all who work there.
