My mum has been at Lancum House for two years, and we couldn't be more grateful. The home is always clean, warm, and welcoming. Staff are not only well-trained but genuinely kind, treating every resident with dignity and compassion. What truly sets it apart is their outstanding dementia care-personalised, engaging activities that have improved my mum's wellbeing and happiness. The staff communicate clearly with families, and there's a real sense of community and care. It's a place where residents are respected, supported, and allowed to thrive. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Lancum House.
This is such a lovely review to read, thank you so much and I will be sure to pass you're kind words on to the rest of the wonderful team.

The staff are always friendly and welcoming to family members and visitors. They'll happily make you a cup of tea or stop for a chat whilst you're visiting your loved one in their care.
The residents are clearly happy and feel safe and from the day you arrive, the staff go out of their way to understand your interests and hobbies to help you feel at home.
They have a huge range of entertainment at the home for you to enjoy and arrange days out if you wish to join.
This is a very happy, safe, and high-standard care home and should be a first choice for anyone looking for a care home.
The app is great for getting photos of your loved one enjoying their time and a great way for you to send photos to your loved one of what you and the family are doing which they print out for residents to enjoy and feel included in family life still.

Residents always look cared for and are made to look their best for the day. The entertainment ladies do a tremendous job, working late to upload pictures from the day. Going above and beyond. The environment is calm and well-led, and it's a pleasure to visit.

My mum went into Lancum House initially on respite care. However, after our family not being satisfied with the care she received being placed into another care home, she was assessed by the manageress at Lancum and was accepted to be relocated back to Lancum House. The home there is so much better, it is light, airy, peaceful, clean and tidy, it's easy to find and has ample parking spaces. The staff there are lovely and make you feel welcome and keep you updated on what's happening both with your family resident and also what's going on inside the home to keep them stimulated and entertained, encouraging them to participate and to mix with other residents, as well as including their family members to join in too with various activities. To the lovely staff there, keep up the good work, you make visiting a nice relaxing time.

My sister-in-law is receiving excellent care and is very happy in this care home. The staff are very caring and very helpful. Facilities are very clean and comfortable. I would recommend this care home.

My Nan has been in this care home for many years now and it's a testament to how caring and clean this care home is that she has thrived there. The staff are so friendly and caring to the residents always smiling and happy and the fact that there isn't a high turnover of staff tells you...
Nan's room is also kept spotlessly clean and there seems to be great efforts to keep the general decor to a good standard. She regularly joins in with the activities and particularly enjoys the bingo.
Many thanks to the wonderful people at Lancum for looking after our beloved Nan so well.
Thank you for leaving us these kind words about the care of your nan. We are so pleased to hear that your nan enjoys the activities and the bingo. Our team will be touched to read this.
My father was placed at Lancum House about 3 weeks ago and as I live in Spain and I am not from the Wellingborough area I had no idea about this home. He was moved as a permanent place arose. I'll be honest, I was very sceptical, as this whole scenario is all new to me and I am doing this all alone...
Well, all I can say is how absolutely wonderful this place is! I was greeted like a long-lost member of the family, the staff were all amazing! He is so much happier than where he was! I no longer feel worried. I really cannot thank and praise the staff enough and they have the family update which sounds fantastic. They will send me pictures of his week and I can send mine that will made into a little newspaper for him. Brilliant idea!
The staff took time to talk to me to update regarding my father.
It feels like a big weight has been lifted off my shoulders! I am very grateful and I will see you all very soon!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us this very kind review about the care of your father. We look forward to seeing you!
