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.

My mum spent the last seven months in the care home and she received an exceptional level of care. The staff were very friendly, compassionate and caring. They made my mum's stay a pleasure. The care they provided was excellent. She grew a special bond with all of the lovely staff and thoroughly enjoyed the activities they had and the food was lovely. My mum was sad to leave and still misses the staff. Thank you.

This will be a short review. I have found the staff at Lancum House extremely caring and helpful. My husband has never been in the care system and it is my first experience. I was dreading this but when we arrived at Lancum House all my apprehensions just disappeared. My husband settled very quickly and seems to be fine. Yesterday's activities with small animals was brilliant. All in all twenty out of ten!

Lancum House has not only become my granddad's home, but he’s told me they feel just like family! This made me feel so joyful knowing he’s happy and being well looked after. From the moment we first walked in and met the staff here, we knew this was the perfect place for my grandad, and it is! My grandad enjoys the activities they provide, even though it took him a while to get involved, the staff helped encourage him to join in and he’s now made some lovely friends. It’s great hearing him laugh about the day he’s had. Thank you to everyone at Lancum House! You are all amazing!

Mum is continually receiving great care in Lancum House although with her V Dementia she does not fully understand this. The staff are always accommodating and go beyond to make her stay as pleasant as possible and it is hard for them at times.

Was a little unsure when my grandfather was moved to Lancum House from another Shaw Healthcare home purely due to how already unsettled he was in a care environment. Little did I know how much the move would benefit him for the better and has ultimately been a blessing in disguise. He has come on leaps and bounds in Lancum House and I believe this is purely to do with the staff and care he is provided with. All of the staff are fabulous, they can't do enough for him and other residents and nothing seems too much trouble. The activities lady encourages him to participate in events which is great to see and the family love to see his updates through the app each week. A big thank you to all of the staff at Lancum House - we can't thank you enough for the care and compassion you show my grandfather. If there is anything that we can do to say thank you by helping the care home in whatever way needed, then please just ask.

My husband's uncle came to Lancum House two weeks ago after a two weeks stay in the hospital. Right from our first visit to Lancum House, we were all made to feel very welcome from each and every member of the staff team. From what we have experienced so far, everyone goes above and beyond their duties to make their residents part of their own special family. We are sure that our uncle will be very happy here and certainly very well looked after.

My nan was a resident at Lancum House for just over two years and throughout her time there I was very impressed by how the home is run.
The staff are fantastic and I have observed them both with my nan and other residents, showing kindness and compassion.
There are various activities run that provide stimulation and also social interaction.
The home also involves families and friends by holding garden parties etc.
The staff at the home don't feel like staff but in fact part of the family.
I cannot fault them.
One memory I will always hold is the fuss that was made of my nan on her birthday.
Banners and balloons were put up in and around her room, and cakes were made.
Simple touches yet made a massive impact.
Whilst Covid did play a part in restricting visiting, I was reassured that my nan was receiving the best care.

Thank you all on behalf of myself and my family for the care and dedication that you have shown whilst caring for my mother. All the staff from the carers to caterers to cleaners and managers all work incredibly hard to ensure a safe and caring environment for the residents and my mother. The love the staff showed to my mother was truly touching and genuine. The smile and look in my mother's eyes told me the trust she had for all the staff caring for her. Thank you so much for giving Linda such a wonderful three weeks.

When my Mum needed permanent residential care I didn’t know where to start, however, Lancum House was recommended to me by two trusted people as being a lovely care home.
When we first went to see Lancum House we were pleasantly surprised by the nice feeling that we got and the warm welcome that we received from the lovely staff.
It is a light, bright and colourful care home with lots of different areas for the residents, and daily activities to get involved with should the person wish. It also has a lovely garden and outside space that you can see from all areas and spend time in.
The staff are so caring and ensure that communication with your family member is easy with arranging visits or a daily Skype so that you feel well connected.
