Welcome to Lily House, centrally situated in the charming city of Ely, where the team provides compassionate care for older individuals with a wide range of care needs, specialising in dementia care.
At Lily House, the team understands the importance of supporting people who care for loved ones at home, which is why they offer a respite care service across the home, including the separate downstairs EMI unit. The patio doors open out into a large, beautiful garden area that is flat and fully accessible to wheelchairs, providing a safe and tranquil outdoor space for residents to enjoy.
The dedicated full-time activity coordinator ensures a vibrant program of activities and entertainment for residents. From escorted visits around Ely Cathedral, just a five-minute drive away, to frequent minibus trips to the seaside and outings to the Royal Sandringham Estate and local garden centres, there's always something exciting to participate in.
At Lily House, the team believes in fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment for residents and their families. Families are greeted with a friendly welcome when visiting and are often invited to join in with the activities or mealtimes. They also organise meals out at local restaurants, creating an excellent social atmosphere for all to enjoy.

Mum has been a resident for about four years, she has been very happy, very well cared for and her room is lovely and she is very comfortable. We have until COVID visited regularly and got to know other residents and staff. Really well managed and no COVID cases which is great. Wish I could visit more as she's 91 now.

I feel that staff and management in the home have worked very hard to protect residents/staff from Covid-19. My friend seems very happy in the home and very relaxed, looks clean and tidy in her appearance. If my friend is happy so am I.
Thank you for taking the time to complete this review. All feedback received is greatly appreciated.
We have found the support and care of our mum very good and we are regularly informed of her needs despite the current COVID situation. We feel Mum is in the best place.

For the four years since my mother came to live at Lily House, I and the family have found all staff has been more than helpful and kind in the care of my mother. Nothing has been too much trouble. Mother has had her ups and downs but has always been treated wonderfully.

We took my mum to Lily House a week before lockdown and the relief of knowing how well she is being looked after is immense. We talk to her on the phone every day and she is very happy and loves all the carers. They make her feel special and take great care of her. We can’t thank them enough for all their efforts. Looking forward to seeing her again soon but in the meantime thank you so much.
My mother recently admitted to Lily House she received a very warm welcome and has settled in very well. The staff are very friendly and mum appears happy and well cared for.

The only exception is that there is sometimes a lack of communication about what is happening in a particular situation. For example, I needed some medication and it was a long time (over a month) before it was available, which made my life a bit uncomfortable.
I am very sorry you suffered any discomfort. I am always here if you have any worries as is our Deputy Manager. Thank you for your review and thank you for bringing this to my attention. Kerry
My sister has resided here for 3 years - she is happy and contented and the care she receives is first class.

This is my mums first experience of living in a care home, she has settled down very well and I am sure this is due to the very caring staff who are looking after her and pleasant surroundings. Nothing is too much trouble for these wonderful and selfless people who work at Lilly House.
