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 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 something.
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.

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 without a brother or sister for emotional backup.
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.

My dad moved into Lancum House in March and the staff have all made the transition for him and me so much better than I thought it would be. Each visit I’ve made to see him we are always made to feel welcome. He’s happier than I expected him to be, he’s been out to dementia choir and loves gardening with the ladies, he’s enjoyed a game of bingo and the food and kitchen staff deserve more than five stars... it always smells and looks delicious. Dad hasn’t been this happy in ages so thank you Lancum staff for helping this happen for my dad to be safe and cared for.
