Review from Jan R (Respite Resident) published on 29 January 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
I came to The Lawns for respite care as I had a bad dose of the flu, chest infection and a urine infection. As there were no beds available in the hospital I was sent home with a bag of medication. For 10 days I seemed to live on medication and water until I could no longer cope.

The Lawns were great, so caring and kind with lovely food and drink which really helped my recovery.

Overall Experience
My mother spent over three years in The Lawns Care Home and in the early days of transition form her flat nearby to this wonderful home was quite difficult for her, but the management and staff managed this period very well. Laterly the last days of her life required extra special care from the management and staff who made this very traumatic period very comfortable for mum and her family and close friends.

They went the extra mile and should be commended for it.

Overall Experience

Been helpful and very friendly improved the wellbeing of my mother.

Very welcoming home where staff are very caring for both user and relatives.

Extremely clean home almost seems like a hotel rather than a care home.

Carers are very supportive but need training regarding catheter regime, e.g. bags changed on a specific day weekly and not discarded indiscriminately.

Reply from Sam Towse, Home Manager at The Lawns Care Home

Thank you for your feedback, I am glad to hear that our team were ‘very supportive’ - we pride ourselves on our standard of care so I am sorry that you feel yours haven’t been totally met on this occasion. We have a very robust training system in place which covers catheter care but following your...

Overall Experience
I had travelled 60 miles to see my great aunt at The Lawns. I was greeted by the most friendliest of staff, who offered me refreshments knowing I had travelled quite a distance. My great aunt is extremely well cared for and loves the homely environment. She tells me the staff are second to none.

During my visit, I was invited to take part in the crossword afternoon.

Review from Maria D (Respite Resident) published on 6 November 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My stay was only for 2 weeks after major heart surgery. I found the atmosphere happy, caring and comforting. Staff treated everyone with gentleness, humour and a smile, even in some very trying circumstances. Food was simple but well presented. There was a vitality among the residents which belied the seniority and physical weaknesses of many of them, undoubtedly due to the stimulation and care of the staff.

Thank you, you provided a strong boost to my recovery.

Review from Jayne P (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 October 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Mum was very well looked after by all the staff and enjoyed her stay. She was slightly disappointed with the food as some of the food was not cooked enough or was quite hard for elderly people to eat but all the residents said the same. I felt that she was safe while I was away on holiday and would definitely ask for her to come back and stay for respite again.

Reply from Tessa Matthews, Marketing Manager at The Lawns Care Home

Thank you for your comments and feedback. Your comments about the food will be passed on to our Chef and team. We are so pleased that your mum enjoyed her stay at The Lawns and we would be delighted to welcome her back again.

Working around the site, I have seen the high quality style of the care home, residents are treated to 3 course meals and quality living space.

The gardens are very nice and our team are working to further improve these views.

Review from Sue N (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 July 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Our mother spent 10 days as a respite resident at The Lawns. This was a new experience for her and at 94 she had ever stayed in a residential care home before so she was very reluctant. From the moment she walked through the doors at The Lawns her anxiety disappeared. The warmth of the welcome; the friendliness of the staff cannot be overstated. In her own words, they are "helpful in the extreme and always pleasant and cheerful". Everywhere was "spotlessly clean" and she was "continually asked if you had everything you needed". Thank you to all at The Lawns.

Unfortunately, the home did not line up to our expectations.
He actually came out worse than when he went in for his week's respite.

His MS is worse than ever now.

It’s good to hear your feedback and it would be great to be given the opportunity to chat through your concerns if you feel able to pop in to see me.

My mother has been a resident at The Lawns for approximately one and a half years. The care that she has received is exceptional. The staff are extremely pleasant, professional and caring and the environment is also very pleasant.

Beautifully appointed and homely whilst perfectly suited for purpose. The food is very good, my mother tells me it's delicious and the meals offered are carefully prepared to suit most tastes. Regular entertainment is provided. My mother loves the visiting singers.
