Review from Robert P (Friend of Resident) published on 12 June 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our interaction with staff at the Lawns has been excellent. The management always listened constructively to our comments. Moreover whenever we arrived at the home the senior staff member we first met always knew how our friend was that day. On occasion when we visited we witnessed the interaction
between our friend and staff and it was one which showed her confidence in them and they acted with patience and care towards her.
After her recent death I and my wife organised her funeral. We were both touched and impressed that the manager and a number of staff attended. Not only this but a poem about her was composed by them and formed part of the tribute.
In summary we felt that the Lawns did an impressive job in caring and supporting our dear friend during the final years of her life.
Reply from Macie Cox, Marketing Executive at The Lawns Care HomeThank you so much much for your touching feedback of The Lawns and our wonderful team which we are so lucky to have! Your dear friend is missed by us all and please know our door is always open.

Review from A K (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 May 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum was a resident at The Lawns for 2 years until she passed away in March. Following a fall and illness in 2023, she was in hospital care for 2 months before being moved to a care home by Social Services. As the standard of care and facilities was shockingly poor, I was anxious to move her out
as soon as possible. After visiting several care homes, I was happy to find her a place at The Lawns. The staff are the best feature of The Lawns, very caring, professional and friendly and the staff turnover is very low. Mum grew very fond of them and enjoyed chatting and joking with them (even if sometimes she couldn't remember their names!) The building itself is relatively modern but with a homely feel and is always spotlessly clean as are the bedrooms. The food is always prepared and presented beautifully in the elegant dining room. There are regular games and activities as well as visits from entertainers.
My mums last years were comfortable, happy and secure thanks to The Lawns.
Reply from Macie Cox, Marketing Executive at The Lawns Care HomeThank you so much for your heartwarming words, it really means a lot to us at The Lawns. We are so lucky to have such a fabulous team of angels working here, all who miss Mum very much.

Mum went into the Lawns Sept 2025 and passed away there Feb 2026. She went there for company and that there was always someone to call on 24 hrs. The Lawns provided that safe environment for her, with caring staff, who did all they could for mum to be inclusive and stimulated in life at the home with
activities, meeting her dietary requirements , laundry , medical needs , treating her with dignity and empathy. The care and compassion for her and ius as a family was amazing in her last week. It has been an enormous comfort to us , we couldn't have asked for better .
Reply from Macie Cox, Marketing Executive at The Lawns Care HomeThank you so much for your positive feedback, we really aim to provide a family feel within The Lawns and we are so pleased that you have been comforted by the care and compassion we give. Mum is missed by us all everyday.

The staff are very supportive and confident in their roles. They treat the residents with patience and dignity. They know all the residents by name. The coffee machine is a great facility for attending family.
There is plenty of space to be alone with residents if required.
Having lunch with mother
in law was a lovely experience and the food was very good.

From the very first time we stepped foot into The Lawns it was very evident that this was no ordinary residential home. The Lanws was our number one choice for my mother-in-law. The staff are professional and caring individuals lead from the top. A wonderful place for my mother-in-law.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother became a resident of The Lawns Care Home in January 2018 following a sudden decline in health and I expected her to live for six months at best. Due to the superb care provided by everyone at The Lawns, my mother was able to have 7 more years of a meaningful and enjoyable life.
I cannot
thank everyone enough for their dedication to care. The Lawns is a vibrant place with a variety of daily activities which keep residents mentally and physically engaged and active. The residents are treated like they are part of a family and it does not feel like a care home. The restaurant looks and feels like a restaurant. The Lawns is a happy place and there is always laughter and happiness in the air. Knowing my Mother was being so well cared for, allowed me to get on with my life, without constantly worrying and my wife and I were always welcomed as part of the family when we visited.
I will be forever grateful to everyone at the Lawns.

My mum has lived at The Lawns for nearly 3 years. After some initial issues related to COVID restrictions, she settled in well. The home has a lovely atmosphere and feels more like a nice hotel. The management and staff are very friendly, helpful and co-operative. The activities programme is very comprehensive
but with no pressure to take part. Food and drink are good quality and nicely presented in the attractive restaurant. Fees aren't particularly cheap, but you get what you pay for i.e.: a lovely well run home.

We moved my late father to The Lawns following an awful few months stay in another home funded by the council!
The Lawns provided my dad with wonderful care and support throughout his short stay before he sadly passed. All the staff from managers, senior care staff, down to the housekeeping team were
fantastic. Not living locally meant I only managed to visit every few weeks. I was always kept informed on how my dad was doing and any concerns etc. On the times we did come to visit, our dogs were also welcome in the home, which my dad loved.
The home was always clean, the food was great, and I couldn't fault it. They were even happy for us to bring my dad's own TV, which we have donated to the home.

Would just like to say what a warm and welcoming home The Lawns is. Every time you visit there's a warm welcome. The staff are patient and caring to Mum and easily approachable by yourself if there's a query or concern. I was tearful recently on leaving Mum and one of the staff took the time to speak
to me, ensure I was okay and gave words of advice. They are also always on hand and chatty with Mum.

When I assessed The Lawns for my stepfather's stay I was very impressed. Everything clean, no smells, helpful and friendly staff. This was confirmed by a family friend who knows this industry. She dropped off my stepfather and looked around. She couldn't find any issues and praised me on my choice.
I would recommend The Lawns very highly. All staff were great.

I visited six homes before deciding on this one. I have not been disappointed, I feel very comfortable knowing Mum is being looked after well. There are occasional issues but they are dealt with efficiently and effectively. Overall Mum is happy and so am I. Just some improvements too.

My mother first entered The Lawns for respite care after a nasty fall at home in November 2023. She was warmly welcomed by every member of staff and treated with care and compassion while recovering from a broken shoulder. Such was the care and ambience o the home, we encouraged her to stay permanently
for a richer quality of life for her last years. The home is like family, residents, carers and visitors come together to provide a safe, warm, rich environment for all. Who could ask for more!

I've been visiting The Lawns now for over a year, when a relative of mine was a resident, and while I was visiting I got to know most of the residents in care there. I go in most weeks now to have a chat with them, it's a lovely home and the staff make me feel so welcome. I've visited a few care homes
in the past but The Lawns is the best I've visited, I can't fault it, if ever I need to go into care that's where I would like to be.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.755)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.755) out of 10 for The Lawns Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.805 for The Lawns Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (175 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 215 Ratings = 4.805
  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 4.95 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Lawns Care Home is based on 18 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, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten 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 = 3.95
    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 41 registered maximum number of service users is 8.2, which has been reached with 18 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.
