Overall as a family we are very happy wtih the care of our parent. Staff are friendly, helpful and pay attention to their needs. Sometimes messages get lost or don't filter through to the team on duty. Supervisors are professional & listen to family concerns. The care home manager is approachable & takes carers seriously & follow up with local GP services. The care home has much on offer for residents throughout the week. The food doesn't appear to be greatly nutritional, we understand preparing food in numbers & keeping it fresh is challenging.

Staff turn-over a big issue and many agency staff used do not have the training or experience to carry out simple tasks. An example being one agency staff was going to empty mum's cathetar bag into the sink in her room. Mum was able to say 'don't' and tell her what to do!

I enjoy my visits to Southlawns. I find the staff friendly and welcoming. My brother has required patience and reassurance during his settling-in weeks, and is visibly more relaxed and confident as the weeks go by. Thank you.

All the staff are kind, thoughtful and respectful. They greet her by name. Administration process was as straight forward as possible. She enjoys activities and likes something to be going on around her.

I have experienced nearly two months of care to my husband in Southlawns. I have seen a big improvement in health and wellbeing, and excellent, friendly care throughout. He has settled in well and is happy with all services provided. Previously, he was not eating well and losing weight. The regular good food here has helped him put on weight. The staff are lovely and friendly, and the atmosphere throughout the home is great. I enjoy the experience on every visit. I'm very happy with the service.

Mum has been a resident in Southlawns for over 9 years. Her care needs are changing due to her age and decline in health. Staff have been brilliant at adapting to her needs. Staff and management are very supportive of the family and always find time to discuss any worries or queries we may have.

Grandma has been a new resident since mid-June. The information and support provided to arrange a place was excellent with an unannounced tour, lots of information and guidance and general conversation to ensure Grandma was settling. Grandma has settled extremely well, down solely I am sure to the wonderful care and carers. Everyone is so nice, smiley and nothing is too much trouble with a coffee way arranged for the family for Grandma's birthday being an example. Communiocation and advocating for Grandma with health services has been great. I have felt Grandma is safe, cared for and I can relax. Thank you.
The Garden Party at Southlawns was a lovely afternoon. Lots of food and drink. Everyone so nice, staff so helpful and kind.

Most of the staff are patient and understanding of my father's condition and problems, one or two (he tells me) need to allow more time to deal with him. It would be nice if the 'call button' had a quicker response from staff.
