Review from Amanda P (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 August 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Review from Mark W (Son of Resident) published on 30 July 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

The home takes very good care of Mum who has been at Lauren Court for over 2 years. Mum is happy and settled there and the staff are caring, kind and lovely to her. They take great care of her, are very interested in her and spend time talking and listening to her. I really like the staff who make me feel so welcome when I visit Mum and feel they are very approachable. It is great that there is a good choice of activities available which Mum enjoys. Thank you so much.

Review from Gillian D (Son of Resident) published on 20 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our father went to Lauren Court for respite in June 2023. From day one we were very impressed with the facilities and the staff.
Our father was made to feel like a family member with the most amazing caring staff.
Unfortunately, his health deteriorated and he passed away on the 18th of September in Lauren Court with dignity and the staff at his side until the family could be with him.

My father's funeral took place yesterday and members of staff attended the service. Thank you so much to each and every one of you for the excellent care you gave to my father.

Overall Experience

Mum came here for respite in May (after being in hospital since February) with a view to returning home with a care plan in place. From our first visit, we knew Lauren Court was the right place for her. Lovely atmosphere, and friendly and attentive staff who treat residents with respect. Mum is very happy here and wishes to stay and the family are happy for her to do so. She looks forward to meal times as the food is good! There are lots of activities and a lovely garden too. The staff will always contact us if any issues - we are more than happy with the care provided.

Review from Sophie D (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 1 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The staff at Lauren Court have been so supportive of my grandpa and us as a family in ensuring his transition from home to the care home has been as smooth as possible. My grandpa turned 101 last week and up until seven weeks ago had lived at home. The staff made such a fuss of him on his birthday and made the day really special. The care he’s received has been excellent. There are lots of opportunities for him to engage with their broad range of activities which has really improved his quality of life. The staff have been welcoming and attentive and most importantly have made us feel he’s being extremely well looked after. A big thanks to you all.

Review from Elaine T (Relative of Resident) published on 4 August 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

When my relative became a resident in March 2023, when visiting her and wishing to speak to management, they were not visible and the office door was always closed. I now visit mostly at weekends when, I believe, management are not on the premises. However, I understand from other relatives, that they are easier to contact by phone and are available to speak to Monday to Friday. Whenever I visit I am made to feel welcome by the staff, all of whom are kind, caring and understanding towards the residents. My relative is very happy at Lauren Court.

Reply from Julie Caygill, Hospital Liaison Team Administrator at Lauren Court Care Home

Thank you for your kind review. I am the new manager at Lauren Court; I started my post here June 2023. I would love to have the opportunity to meet with you. I have an open-door policy Monday-Friday, and I can also come in by appointment at the weekend. My deputy manager is on-site every other...

The friendly staff immediately made my dad feel at home, and he was able to settle in very quickly and now feels like part of the family. He is enjoying the company of the friendly, caring staff and the outings, loves the food, and in every respect, has embraced Lauren Court as his new home. This is the result all his family wished for.

I literally cannot praise the staff at Lauren Court Care Home enough. They are all incredible with my mum - kind, caring, patient, loving and genuinely funny. It's a phenomenal team of people.
