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.

Amazing staff, friendly and always willing to help, clean, tidy and lovely fresh food. Very warm and lovely garden to look out to, by far the best home my father has been in so far. A well run care home.

As my mum has an eating disorder the staff are always trying to get her to eat more. They took time to prepare what she likes. They keep me informed of my mum's progress and any concerns they may have so we can discuss any changes which need to be put into place.

It was never going to be an easy or comfortable decision to admit Mum into care. A chain of events over the previous six months left us having to really consider it. One with Mum being diagnosed with Alzheimer's and came into Lancum House on respite after Dad had to be admitted to hospital also. We had nothing to worry about. The staff and carers at Lancum are amazing and very engaging. Almost a second extended family in fact. They undertake inclusive events such as bingo, dance and singing, exercise and crafting sessions. I was surprised when I found out they also arrange weekly trips. One such trip is to take part in a weekly dementia choir event where a few care homes meet up sing and dance. Truly amazing and extremely therapeutic. Mum is very well looked after and made to feel safe and valued.
Thank you Lancum Crew.

I cannot praise Lancum House Care Home and all the staff enough, you are all worth your weight in gold. With my mum having to come in for respite care in January after being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s last year and my dad being in hospital for the last six weeks, it has been such a difficult time for us all as a family and knowing mum is being very well looked after is such a relief for us all. We all try and visit and spend time with her as much as we can and I can honestly say all the staff and the home are fantastic. Thank you all so much for the great work you do.

Nothing is too much for the staff here, they are all smiley and friendly, and very welcoming whenever I go to visit my nan, hot drinks are offered to me, and they take the time to listen to any concerns that I have and any questions I have. My nan always looks clean and tidy, a real. My nan is treated as an individual and is included in any activity they have. Nothing is too much and the staff all go above and beyond for everyone in their care. As I walk through the building to my nan's room it is always clean, smells clean and nice, everywhere is tidy, and all the staff seem to work together. Even the residents give you a wave or a hello as you walk past. It really is a happy home and the atmosphere is lovely.
