At a very difficult time for the family, our fears were laid to rest because of the great care my husband received. Nazareth Lancaster has a fab team led by a manager who generally treats people as individuals. My husband passed away recently, she really did make that more bearable. The manager and
her team are a great asset to your company. The building could do with some TLC.

My mum is more happier and settled. They take very good care of my mum since coming into the home. The staff members are very friendly and helpful. I honestly cannot fault anything regarding the home and the care given to my mum.

So ok the interior needs money spending on it. My brother-in-law has been there about 10 months and has always been happy. The care received has been really good but it was in the last 5 days of his life that it really stepped up. His end of life care has been excellent. They have shown understanding,
empathy, respect, dignity. Someone was at his bedside 24/7 in the last days (family that is) and they supplied food and drink and nothing was too much trouble for them. I coud keep gong on, just keep doing what you are doing, I commend you.

Review from Allison C (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 January 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum went into Nazareth House Lancaster 4 months ago due to her being unsafe at Home and unable to care for herself.
Previously to this, we had to have four ambulance visits and three admissions to hospital within the space of 5 months.
When my mum first went into Nazareth House she was underweight,
had two pressure sores on her back, was mentally very unhappy and had given up on life to the point where she was talking about ending it.
As you can imagine, as a family, we were distraught, heartbroken and very worried about my mum.
In the short space of 4 months since August, we have all seen a huge difference and improvement to her health physically and mentally.
She has gained weight, looks so much better and is happy again. She has also made new friends and is finally receiving the care that she needs.
As a family, we don't have to worry anymore about her not getting her health and wellbeing.
I can't thank the staff at Nazareth House enough for their ongoing work with my mum.

On the occasions I visit Nazareth House, I am always impressed and reassured by the cleanliness and facilities with a wonderful dining room, gardens and extensive grounds.
More important however, is the way the staff really care for the residents, all in all, a lovely atmosphere.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
On my first visit, I was made to feel very welcome and the manager was exemplary in showing me around and answering any questions I had.
The home was warm and inviting and the residents appeared happy there.
Lots of activities and events outside the home are encouraged and family members are welcome
to attend.
It is certainly a home from home with wonderful Christmas decor and entertainment during December.
Could not ask for a more secure homely environment to be cared in for my friends and relatives.
I would certainly recommend to others.

Both my parents lived at Nazareth House - Lancaster until my father passed away on 28th September 2024. The staff were very supportive, kind and thoughtful throughout Dad's illness, passing and afterwards. They have provided invaluable support to my mum, who still resides there, as a grieving widow.
I
feel my mum is in good hands, and the staff keep me updated between my biweekly visits if there are any concerns.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional care my relative has received at Nazareth. The staff have been warm, welcoming and attentive to every need. The facility is always clean, well maintained and has a lovely atmosphere that makes it a lovely place to live in.
The caregivers are compassionate
and professional, ensuring that my relative feels safe, respected and valued. They go above and beyond. The variety of activities and social events offered, keeps the residents engaged and happy, fostering a sense of community and belonging.
Overall Nazareth has exceeded our expectations in every way. It has given us peace of mind knowing that our relative is receiving the best possible care in a supportive and loving environment. I highly recommend this care home to anyone looking for a place where their family member will be treated with dignity and kindness.

Mum was reluctant to give up independent living at the age of 99 but is loving her new home. The care she receives is 5 star. All staff are caring, patient and understanding of Mum's needs. Mum takes part in planned activities which keeps her mentally stimulated and loves the entertainment on offer.
Mum has also put weight on thanks to the help of a very thoughtful catering team who tailor the menu to her tastes. Thank you all at Nazareth House for making Mum's palliative care as pleasant as possible.

Nazareth House had Christmas Day out for the residents and their families to the big wheel and ice skating which was absolutely brilliant and the residents absolutely loved it, as did their families.
And to top the day off, they took everyone for a drink.
They always go above and beyond.
Thank you
to two particular team members and all the staff.

Review from Adam T (Grandson of Resident) published on 3 January 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Nana is always well looked after at Nazareth House, and the recent weeks have been no different.
The staff constantly put the residents first, and have taken them out for some wonderful days out; including the ice skating this past week. The residents, my Nana included, have thoroughly enjoyed it.
Many
care homes (and through family, I've experienced a few) find it difficult to take residents out of the home, but Nazareth House make it a priority.
My Nana has been at Nazareth House as a resident for a few years now, and when she went in, she wasn't her usual self - the time there has enabled her to feel looked after and become more confident again.
I can't thank the home and the staff within it enough!

I am always pleased with the way staff interact with both myself and my mother, always a friendly smile and a little banter. Mum has on occasion complained about the food she receives but to be fare she has always been very picky about what she eats.

Aside from visiting my mother weekly, I had the joy of attending the Christmas Dinner event, which was wall run, with great food and an excellent atmosphere.
Within the home, my mother has settled well and feels safe and secure here.

Mum had to be placed into care and we couldn't have picked anywhere better. The management and staff were very supportive to Mum, who was finding settling in difficult. She now has friends and has started to join in with the activities. The nuns are always about and very happy to stand and chat.

I cannot praise the management and staff enough for the care given to my stepmother over the last five years. She was so well looked after and I never had a moments worry about her health and welfare. Every member of staff has been so caring and helpful and the sisters always gave her a great deal of
comfort.
The care she received during the last weeks and days of her life was impeccable. She was so well looked after and I felt a genuine concern from all the care workers who cared for her so compassionately.
I highly recommend Nazareth House to anyone considering placing a family member there.
Thank you all so much.

Our Father is a resident here. Opting to put him in the care home was a tough decision to make but so glad that we did it. He is safe, well looked after, enjoying his meals and thriving in his new living environment. The staff are lovely and we receive regular updates from them on how he is doing, including
lovely videos of him enjoying the activities.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.749)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.749) out of 10 for Nazareth House - Lancaster is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.749 for Nazareth House - Lancaster is calculated as follows: ( (141 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 179 Ratings = 4.749
  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 Nazareth House - Lancaster is based on 15 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 43 registered maximum number of service users is 8.6, which has been reached with 15 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.
