Review from S H (Son of Resident) published on 19 May 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
I would just like to say how much I appreciated the quality of care delivered by Lavender for my Mum.
The last 5 years have been the best I could have hoped for for my Mum and that is due to all the staff (front line and in the background) being conscientious and considerate in they do.
The Care Home have been responsive when required by my questions and helpful with their answers.
Lavender have an excellent package of support and care that allowed my Mum to comfortably enjoy her final years. Their package includes managing the entire needs of my Mum including food, drink, games etc. all wrapped up in a caring environment

Overall Experience
If only my Nan had agreed to come here earlier. She has been given a new lease of life at the age of 96! The Activities Coordinator is loved by my Nan and she misses him when he is not around. Staff and residents are all friendly. Would be nice to have tea making facilities for visitors, but otherwise, this place is ace.

Review from Rena K (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 20 August 2018 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
All staff are exceptional here at Lavender House. Kind, caring, humble and make the effort to connect to all residents on a personal level. My grandmother can be very demanding and sometimes rude and these ladies have always treated her with love and kindness despite this. Anyone who comes to stay is in amazing hands and can sleep well knowing the very best care is being provided to your family.

Review from Susan H (Daughter of Resident) published on 31 July 2018 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
The care and compassion shown by all members of the team here at Lavender House is unsurpassed. It was a very traumatic time to move my dad into residential care but from the very first contact, my confidence was built. My dad's care is first class and he actually improved in his health when he came here. All of the dedicated team are like family. Thank you.

Review from Sharon C (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 30 July 2018 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My grandad is always clean and tidy, he is always clean shaven. All of the staff at Lavender House know him by name and talk to him. They know his character, his likes and dislikes. The staff at Lavender House always give me an update on how Grandad has been through the week. They advise me if it is OK to take him out and whether he needs his walker or his wheelchair.
They have patiently persevered with the treatment of his sore legs and done such a great job, they have healed so well. Thanks so much for everything.
↩Reply from Janeth Baucan, Care Home Manager at Lavender House Care Home
Thank you Sharon for your review. Our approach is to get to know our residents as individuals, so we are able to respond to their likes and dislikes, and keep relatives informed of their progress. I will pass on to the team your kind words.

The most wonderful place. If you have to be in a home, this is where you'd want to be. The staff are so cheerful and enthusiastic, even when stressed and tired. Lots of activities including pony visits, music, Bollywood night, 40's singing, trips to the zoo and walks in the park to name a few.
