Thank you for sharing your kind words. We're so pleased your mum feels happy and well cared for, and it's lovely to hear that our team's efforts make a difference.

Every caregiver I have met has left their worries at the door and has a consistently cheerful disposition even when nearing the end of their 12-hour shift. This shows me that their energy comes from true kindness, compassion and love of caring for the residents. Even when some of the residents with dementia lash out verbally or physically, they are handled firmly but with terms of endearment like 'sweetheart', 'my love', 'my darling' as they calm the resident. A sense of ownership is given to the residents. Once, mum felt peckish at 4.30 am and went to the kitchen where she was given cornflakes! I like that although mum is encouraged to join in activities, she is never forced. When I phone from my residence in Vancouver to get on Messenger with mum, the staff stop their duties and kindly arrange it for me so I feel in constant touch with her. What most assures me that this home is best for mum is the big smile she has for each carer and the fact that she looks 20 years younger.
Thank you for sharing such thoughtful feedback. It's wonderful to hear how much our team's kindness and care mean to you and your mum, and we're delighted she feels so happy and supported here. Your words will mean a great deal to all the staff.

I have been visiting my friend for two months now, and have been more impressed with every visit. The staff are all very kind, considerate and caring towards their residents, with a warm welcome for visitors also. The home is bright, colourful and most importantly clean and well maintained. The entertainment programme varied and interesting. I am only sorry I missed the Elvis impersonation! It is heartening to see that my dear friend is being so well cared for. Thank you to all the Staff at Lancum House.
Thank you for your lovely review. We're so pleased to hear how much you've enjoyed your visits and that your friend is feeling well cared for. Your kind words mean a lot to the whole team, and we're sorry you missed Elvis - he was a hit! We look forward to welcoming you again soon.

Mum was made to feel very welcome right from the start and is happy to call Lancum her home. Her social interaction has improved immeasurably through her involvement with the many activities organised for the residents. She has enjoyed bingo, gardening, pizza making, cake decorating, morning exercise, choir practice, a pub visit and a variety of singers who have performed at the home and the list goes on.
After living at home on her own for so long and no longer driving, moving to Lancum, where she is in a much safer environment, with help when she needs it has given her a new lease of life and she seems much happier for it.
I have already recommended Lancum House to friends with elderly parents.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We are delighted to hear that your mum is settling in well and enjoying life at Lancum House. It is lovely to know that the activities are bringing her joy and that she feels at home. Your recommendation means a great deal to us.

From day one, I knew this was the right place. The staff are incredible. They don't just do their jobs - they treat every resident with dignity, patience, and real kindness. My mum isn't just another name on a care plan; they've taken the time to get to know her, to understand her routines, her moods, and even the little things that make her feel more like herself.
The environment is warm and calm, and it feels like a true home. There are always activities going on to keep residents engaged, whether it's music, arts and crafts, or just a supporting her to go in the garden. But most importantly, there's genuine respect and compassion in every interaction.
I can't express how much peace of mind this place has given me. I know my mum is safe, well cared for.
Thank you so much for your beautiful words. It means the world to us to know that your mum feels safe and at home here. Supporting our residents with genuine care, respect, and compassion is at the heart of everything we do. We're truly honoured to be part of her journey and to give your family peace of mind.

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 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.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we really appreciate it and the team will be delighted to read it.
