Review from Elizabeth R (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 October 2017 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
Mother says she is very satisfied. Staff dress her carefully, she has regular showers, hairdresser and nails. Staff always respond to the buzzer. My mother is happy when she goes to bed but finds being woken up at 6 am too early.

My father has been in L.H. for two months now.
He has settled very well. He feels safe, well looked after and he really likes the food.

I have found all the staff to be helpful and caring. They go out of their way to ensure Dad has everything he needs and always with a kind word and a smile.

Review from Margaret C (Niece of Resident) published on 8 May 2017 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
All staff from kitchen, cleaners, maintenance staff to carers are so friendly. Management keeps me fully informed of all aspects of my aunt's care. Have dropped in at random times and the welcome is always warm. My aunt, at 89 years of age, lived independently, is mentally fit but physically frail and had carers 4 times a day, but, although I visited for 30 mins a day, she was extremely lonely. At Lavender, she has company when she wants, has made new friends and I am confident she is well looked after and attended to.
Staff are quick to react to any medical worries, calling doctors when necessary. Aunt did have a fall, of her own doing and paramedics and ambulance quickly attended and I was informed straight away. At home, she may have been laid there for hours. I have peace of mind that my aunt is receiving good care and my aunt feels reassured that staff are available 24 hours a day, she has company, enjoys lovely meals and is treated with dignity and respect.

Review from Guiseppe F (Son of Resident) published on 27 March 2017 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My Dad was diagnosed with Lewin body's dementia in 2012 and for some time me and my sisters looked after him at home. As time passed we noticed that Dad's dementia had got worse and that we could no longer look after him.
After many months of looking for a care home in April 2014 dad moved into Lavender House where he started the next chapter of his life. Within a couple of weeks of Dad moving into Lavender House, we noticed a big change in his behaviour. He seemed more confident happier and content. And although my father's English was not the best the staff looked after his every need.
Over time dad's dementia worsened and it was sometimes difficult to recognise the person we once knew and loved. On the 1st February 2017, Dad passed away and we are still coming to terms with his death.

During dad's time at Lavender House, he was always treated with the utmost care and respect. Lavender House was his home where he was safe and part of a big family that looked after each other.

Review from Anita D (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 February 2017 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My Mother came into Lavender House in Jan 2017, we as a family were a little unsure about care homes but we knew this was the best place for our mum to be. From the minute we arrived we were greeted with a warm welcome and within an hour almost every member of staff introduced themselves to our mum and us. First impressions certainly do make a HUGE difference!!
Although she has only been in there for just over the month they have made her feel at home and seeing to her every need.

So far so good with Lavender House and their staff, our mum has improved day by day, peace of mind for us and happiness for our mum, what more do you need :-)

Review from Richard p (Son of Resident) published on 1 June 2016 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mother was resident in Lavender House for four and a half years until her death in late May 2016. During this time whilst suffering from dementia she was treated with the utmost care and respectful consideration. I cannot thank the staff at Lavender House enough for the way they cared for my mother.
