This is the second care home our dad has been in and it is by far the better. Since he has been at Lauren court he has been so much happier. The care he receives is second to none. Every time we visit the staff are all very friendly and helpful, makes you feel very welcome. Any problems we have had
have been addressed immediately When dad has had a fall we have been informed straight away. Feels like an extended family when visiting. All staff are extremely friendly and very approachable. Children are made to feel very welcome and made a fuss of by all

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My elderly sister has been accommodated in Lauren Court for quite some time and although I love 150 miles away, I have made several visits. Due to my own advancing age I am familiar with conditions inside several other care homes, and I feel happy to be able to report that I have always been favorably
impressed by the standards achieved in Lauren Court. In particular that your published claim to be the kind care company is in my experience, always borne out in practice.

I can't praise the team highly enough for the care my mum has received since she moved in. They are kind, patient and friendly and have helped her to settle in and feel at home. A clean, warm environment is ideal for people needing residential care. It gives me great peace of mind.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Following hospitalisation in 2023, Mum moved into Lauren Court. My sister, brother and I all agree that it is the very best care home of the many we looked at in the area. She is very comfortable in her nicely appointed room. She enjoys the wide choice of quality food on offer, and the regular tea and
biscuits. She joins in with the various activities available, including the daily exercise classes, and enjoys spending time outdoors in the garden when weather permits. But most of all, she loves the staff. They are all so genuinely kind, caring and loving to her. She has just celebrated her 100th birthday in the home, and the manager arranged an amazing party for her to celebrate the occasion with other residents and with us. We always enjoy visiting Mum because we are treated like family by the staff and Mum is always so happy there whenever we see her. We have the utmost confidence and reassurance that Mum is in a very safe and caring place. It is simply outstanding.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident of Lauren Court for just over a year. Prior to her moving in, she suffered from anxiety with no interest in eating, drinking or participating in activities of daily life. Now she has completely changed to her old self. She has put on weight, she is relaxed and now leads
an active life. This is due to the care and encouragement of all the staff at Lauren Court and our family cannot thank you all enough.

I think my mother is in the best care home she could possibly be in due to financial circumstances. She has come on leaps and bounds in the last 10 months. She has put on weight and her health has improved dramatically. She is well looked after by very caring carers. The staff are first class whether
it's management, carers or cleaning staff, they are all customer friendly. I would recommend Lauren Court Care Home very highly.

My cousin was placed in Lauren Court after being in hospital for a few weeks. I could not fault this place. The staff were very helpful and friendly. His room was very clean and nicely furnished and he was made to feel very welcome. The staff went above and beyond their duties to keep me informed on
what was going on.

My mum took a while to settle into Lauren Court but now she is happy to be there. She joins in with bingo, daily exercises and going out on trips. The resident's dining room is pleasant, however, Mum prefers to eat in her own room. She has made friends whilst being there. The staff are all very helpful
and caring. All the cleaning and laundry is carried out to a very good standard. I am happy that Mum is in a safe and caring environment.

My mum has been at Lauren Court for over 3 years. The staff are very respectful and show interest in talking and listening to her. She has a lovely room filled with her own possessions and it is cleaned regularly. Mum enjoys her meals, the dining room tables are always set nice and there is always a
weekly menu you can review. Activities and events take place on most days and residents are encouraged to participate and mix together. The home has a family feel to it and knowing Mum is happy and content is also very reassuring.

Lauren Court is an absolutely fabulous Care Home. We couldn't be happier with the help and service they have provided to my Mother. She started her residency there in early April this, after we moved her out from somewhere less suitable. You can tell as soon as you walk through the door that this is
a special place to stay. The staff are lovely and kind and there is always someone on hand if help is needed. We always get a warm welcome whenever we visit (and so does our dog Tilly too). There is a full programme of activities which my Mum thoroughly enjoys and this helps to keep body and mind active throughout the day.

All the staff are very friendly and caring. My mother has been there for 12 months and often says how lucky she feels to be somewhere so nice and how much she enjoys the friendship of the staff. The home was extremely accommodating when my mother had to move in at extremely short notice following a
home visit from a member of the staff to do the assessment.

My mum came here for respite and has been here for several months now. The care home is modern, clean and well kept. Mum's room is lovely, overlooking a large playing field, which Mum loves looking on too. Staff have been very supportive and friendly. Lots of activities for Mum to join in if she wants
to. Overall, we, as a family, are very happy with Mum's stay here, and most importantly, so is Mum.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.816)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.816) out of 10 for Lauren Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.816 for Lauren Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (255 Excellents x 5) + (52 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 309 Ratings = 4.816
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Lauren Court Care Home is based on 26 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6, which has been reached with 26 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
