Review from R M (Sister-in-law of Resident) published on 13 January 2026 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience

My husband, mother-in-law and I attended the annual barbeque at lifestyles in August. We arrived early and were greeted very warmly by all of the staff. We were made to feel very welcome and were looked after very well (e.g. food, drinks). My brother-in-law seems to be very happy there, is stable on his medications and appears to be well looked after by the staff. They are all doing a great job!

↩Reply from Clare Bower, Manager at Lifestyles
How very lovely Rachel, that really is touching. I am so glad you are happy and satisfied, we endeavour to continue to meet their needs altruistically.

My son is happy at the care home,, I speak to him regular on the phone and visit as much as I can.

I have found the staff to be very friendly when we visit and very caring. The manager is very approachable and if I have a concern, I can contact her she is always on the end of her phone.

Clare Bower
Clare BowerJob Title:Registered ManagerJoined: 2006

I am a quirky, unique, vibrant individual. I often have different hair colours and like to dress in a way that shows my bright personality, as I like to think expression is an impression. I have always naturally been drawn to helping people and chose to take this into my career choice. I gained the required qualifications and became the registered manager of Lifestyles in 2009. I strive with purity and humility to ensure I provide love and care in a holistic person-centred way. I genuinely do feel this is a vocation, not simply a job or career.
