Lenthall House has a Review Score of 9.0 (9.005) out of 10, based on 7 reviews in the last 2 years.
Over all time Lenthall House has 71 reviews.
They cared for me very professionally.
We enjoyed having you at Lenthall and wish you all the best for the future.
I have been visiting my friend on a weekly basis and find the staff very attentive and caring. My friend appears very happy here. Afternoon tea is usually served during my visits, and I'm always offered a refreshment.
Without exception, the care provision is excellent. The staff are exceptional in their genuine care for the residents and I know my Auntie is getting the most support and care she or I could hope for.
It's not a new care home, so in places, the building can look a little tired and it doesn't sport trendy coffee machines or chandeliers. I don't care about those things - I pay more attention to the environment (which is cleaned rigorously through each day) as Lenthall house has spacious bedrooms, nice common areas and lovely gardens.
I care even more about the standard of care from the staff and the happiness of the residents (the real test). You cannot fault either.
The thought put into resident entertainment and engagement is superb. In 25 years, I'm booking in!
Highly recommended.
Lenthall House is an exceptional care home mainly because the staff are loving and caring to the residents, they are like family. Food is excellent, activities are excellent. Some issues with repairs etc taking excessive time to be carried out which needs to be addressed. Also a problem with retraining a manager. Existing staff manage extremely well without a manager.
My mother has been cared for with such care and compassion she has gradually deteriorated but still the staff do their absolute best to care for her. She can be difficult at times, they still give her 100% attention and give her whatever she needs. I couldn't ask for a better care home that meets her needs.
Thank you for your lovely comments, It is great to hear you feel your loved one is well cared for. We are looking forward to maintaining stability within the home.
The environment does need upgrading to make sure clients are coming to live in a bright, clean and modern facility and I believe this is a work in progress.
Thank you for your lovely comments. It is encouraging to hear that you acknowledge the Person centered care given to your loved one. We would like to reassure you that Staff are combusting a plan to enhance the environment consulting with residents and family . We will be sure to pass on your feedback to the team :)
Due to inconsistencies in management over the last 15 months, it is a relief to have a stable, happy staff and home, the current manager is leading the home well and my family member is happy and well cared for.
We believe the improvement we can see in Mum's physical and mental health is due to the kindness and care shown towards Mum by all the staff at Lenthall House.
It is a relief to the family knowing Mum is now safe and well cared for 24 hours a day.
Thank you so much for your feedback, Rosie; we very much appreciate your feedback and will share your views with the team. You can always come and raise any concerns/views with us when visiting, and you can keep up to date with events in the home on the Facebook Page - do not miss the Support Dementia Talk for Families and Friends on the 30th of January at 2 pm at Lenthall House.
In my opinion, the main asset of Lenthall House is the staff who we have found to be extremely friendly, welcoming and compassionate.
We are always made welcome when we go to visit and can go at any time. The atmosphere is always happy and relaxed and they organise a wide range of activities and excursions for the residents. There’s always something going on!
I would recommend Lenthall House to anyone, I am convinced that we couldn’t have found a better place for Mum. They have made a difficult time for us as a family as easy as it could possibly be.
Thank you for your review, it is always easy to be around lovely families, staff team are very happy to complete their duties when their hard work is greatly appreciated, as we always say "You are coming to your mum's house", all we can do is make you feel comfortable and glad we are succeeding. Lots to do in 2024, will be a busy year.
I highly recommend the home to anyone who wishes their loved one to receive personalised care in a friendly and stimulating environment. The atmosphere in the home is just as it should be, homely, caring, friendly and a place where you feel listened to.
Thank you so much, Liz, such a reflective review, we are always trying our best and is just lovely to be recognised by families.
Very good all round.
Thank you so much for your review, glad you are happy with the service delivered.
Friendly carers who enjoy their job and are very knowledgeable regarding their roles. My father is very well looked after and loves it there. There's a great atmosphere and they have weekly entertainment and take the residents out on a regular basis.
Thank you Julie for your review, we are very pleased to hear you are happy with the care we provide to your father, thank you for your kind words, will share it with the team.
The staff make this a home-from-home, everyone is treated with kindness. I can’t thank them enough for looking after my late mum and caring for my dad. The garden has recently been renovated and is beautiful - everyone helped staff, residents and carers.
Thank you for your review but we also thank you for your involvement in the running of the home, bringing great ideas to the table and yes, the garden looks beautiful but that was also yours and your family's work.
There is always something going on and plenty of outings.
There is a beautiful garden to sit in and friends and family are always made very welcome.
Food is excellent.
Altogether we couldn’t have wished for a better place for my mum to stay.
Thank you for your review, your input is very much appreciated.
When he became permanent some of the staff remembered him and we were both welcomed with open arms and they were happy to see him. I find he is well looked after and always looks clean and well-presented. He loves the staff and enjoys seeing the dogs that come in. Management is fantastic very helpful and supportive and all the carers are very professional and welcoming. I feel very welcome when I come in and feel that both myself and my Husband have an extended family. I could not think of a better place for him to be.
Thank you so much for your review, we are always happy to see you and we appreciate your input in providing care for your husband and the running of the home, great times ahead with lots of planning, looking forward to seeing you daily.
My mum came to live at Lenthall House earlier this year due to being unsafe at home as her dementia advanced. She has been treated with nothing but kindness and compassion by all. All staff appear genuinely happy to work there and are cheerful and caring without exception. There are so many fun activities to stimulate and bring joy to their residents. Furthermore, my dad who visits daily has been truly welcomed into the 'family'. I cannot fault the care and the kindness she receives and know she is loved and respectful. Thank you.
Thank you for your review Lynda, we do appreciate any input from families in order to develop our service even further.
When I visited Lenthall House I've been really reassured that my mother is receiving a high standard of care from amazing, warm, friendly and caring staff. I am very pleased that she is able to take part in so many activities and trips out. The catering staff do a great job also and she looks and seems so much happier and healthier than she first arrived. The manager is very professional and puts so much effort into ensuring there is a homely atmosphere. Thank you so much to everyone that works there.
Thank you for your review, we do try to keep the home as homely as possible considering we are working under so many regulations which we need to comply with.
I have been impressed by how well my friend who has now been in Lenthall House for several months has been treated. The staff seem very caring and attentive to the needs of each individual. The home is neat and tidy and clean. I know my friend's husband is very pleased with the care given and he's made what is something he would never have chosen, possible. He knows she is safe and well looked after. Not visited during activities but hear they are excellent.
Thank you very much it is lovely to have you around visiting your friend, please do encourage other friends to come and visit her.
I am extremely pleased with the level of care given to my friend. It has exceeded beyond my expectations. Previous to my friend coming to Lenthal House I visited and made a decision based on that day. The Social Worker did not think it would be the right placement, I decided to take that risk. It turned out to be the best place in my friend's best interest.
Thank you for choosing us we do try our best in providing support to your friend, any suggestions please feel free to contact us.
We have found Lenthall House staff very caring, and empathetic and any request is not too much bother. They have made my mother’s transition from her own home into care a smooth and worry-free experience. I can recommend them highly.
Thank you for your review it is easy to do our job at the best when we have great support from families, our doors are always open and we thank you for your support.
Kind regardsLenthall House Team
