My elderly friend of 20 years, recently moved to Lucton House. I was really worried when I first learned that he was going into a home. From my first visit, I began to feel at ease and since then I have visited numerous times and have been overwhelmed by the improvement in him as a result of the exceptional
care he has received. All the staff are wonderful, very friendly, helpful and kind. Lucton House is exceptionally clean. The staff always make me feel welcome when I visit. I was fortunate to visit on Valentine's Day when they had arranged for a singer to come in, everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. I wouldn’t hesitate to highly recommend this care home to other people.

I moved my dad up to Lucton House from London, where he had been living on his own. I could not believe the difference in him after just two weeks there. He is happy, has put on weight, looks healthier and has even been up dancing. The staff there are all lovely, caring and helpful. The care he receives
is brilliant. The food is lovely and there is plenty of it. I can honestly say that moving my dad to Lucton House was the best thing I did. Thank you everyone at Lucton House for the loving care you show my dad.

Absolutely amazing place! So very pleased with the care and attention my uncle is receiving. The staff are friendly towards all residents and having a chat with them about nothing, in particular, is never too much trouble. Every aspect of my uncle's care and needs are not only dealt with promptly but
documented. The accommodation is spacious and homely, and I love the fact that he can have his own belongings there to help him feel more settled. I have no concerns or worries when I leave him, and all residents are clean and well attended to. I would 100% recommend this place.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father was transferred from his local hospital in London to Lucton House care home. The transfer was traumatic for my father but the care, patience and professionalism with which all the members of the care home team engaged with my father was key to enabling him to come to terms with the move. I
would like to particularly mention the senior staff, directors and nursing, that spent time reassuring me as they made their way through the process. Their ability to spot my concerns apparently before I could even articulate them and reassure me was invaluable and evidence of the team's experience and professionalism yet again.
Thanks.

All members of staff are very polite and friendly. Even the service users are really nice and friendly too. Mom has a good few friends in Lucton House and has only been residing there for a month. Mom loves where she is as there's so much to do and different people to talk to. Mom has her hair done

I have been living at Lucton House for the last ten years. They have been very good to me and they keep me content. I have asked for the flooring to be changed as I did not like the carpet anymore, they have put me very nice and bright flooring down and I am very thankful. The food at Luton House is
very good and delicious, they always listen to our feedback and what we want.
I like living at Lucton House and it is home from home.

We are very pleased with the way that mum is cared for by the home's staff. She has been there for a year and is well settled. Any time she has had an issue (only ever minor) it has been dealt with quickly and to mum's satisfaction. Her needs and limitations are so well known by the staff that they
take every opportunity to ensure she is provided with what she likes and is made to feel that she can take part in activities. We are so pleased that mum made the decision to move to Lucton.

We're delighted with the care being provided for mum at Lucton House. The staff could not be more helpful and are extremely kind. Mum has settled in well since arriving in late December. The management team are professional, hard-working, and friendly, which sets the tone for the warm and supportive
environment which is fostered there. It's obvious to me, having watched the managers and carers interact with residents, that they genuinely care about and have a strong bond with the people who live there. It’s lovely to see, making the decision to move mum to residential care so much easier. Mum has her own flat, with lounge, kitchen, and bedroom, which is clean, spacious, and relaxing. The facilities are excellent: there’s a dining room, lounge, hairdressing salon, and bar, with activities every day. Mum’s loving the food, despite eating little at home! When I say goodbye, it’s like leaving her with family. What greater compliment can you pay a care home? Thanks, Lucton House, for everything!

I find Lucton House deal with the current situation very efficiently. I just find it so sad to have only one visit per week to my mother, as I think it has had a detrimental effect on her dementia, but realise it has to be within the rules! I think the whole situation as regards residential homes should
have been dealt with much more empathy by the Government.

My first impressions of Lucton was reassuring being greeted by staff who were positive, pleasant and helpful when we needed that most. It was upsetting that the lockdown happened when Mum had been in Lucton for just 2 weeks, but we had good advice and positive feedback when we were so needing it. The
staff are just how you would like them to be and have been so positive throughout these challenging times.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.701)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.701) out of 10 for Lucton House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 34 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.701 for Lucton House is calculated as follows: ( (304 Excellents x 5) + (64 Goods x 4) + (27 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 395 Ratings = 4.701
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Lucton House is based on 32 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 51 registered maximum number of service users is 10.2, which has been reached with 32 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
