We cannot thank the team at Lewin House enough for the kindness, care and dignity they showed Des during his time with them. From the moment Des arrived we felt that the staff genuinely cared about him. They were warm, patient and approachable, and always treated him as an individual rather than...
The staff did their very best to make him comfortable, keep us informed and support us as a family. Their compassion during his final days meant more to us than we can properly express, and it gave us great comfort to know that he was somewhere safe, cared for and surrounded by kindness.
We will always be grateful to Katie and the whole team at Lewin House for everything they did for Des. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Saskia and Christine x

During her stay she was well looked after by all staff. There were, as always in any organisation, some who went to extra care beyond their duties.

Dad was a resident at Lewin House care/nursing home and fell ill during his first 2 weeks. Dad already lived with Alzheimer's and physical decline. Lack of activity led to the swallowing reflex to weaken, causing pneumonia and chest infection. Dad received end of life care back at Lewin House where all the staff were fantastic. 11 out of 10. Dad died in his room comforted by family and his favourite music while he was sleeping. Perfect.
Thank you so much for your 5 star review, B M. We are so glad Lewin House could provide your Dad and his family such comfort.
My mum, Catherine, has been at Lewin House for over 4 years. She continues to receive excellent care until this day. As a family we are extremely grateful for the care that our mother is receiving. The staff are amazing in every aspect of care. They are professional in how they conduct themselves...
Although, I live in the USA, I am yet to be disappointed with my mum's care every time I visit Lewin House. My elder sister, Victorine, lives In Aylesbury and visits mum regularly and she is of the same opinion and observation.
Thank you

Thank you for your review, Philip O. We are glad you are so impressed with the care at Lewin House.
My mum is looked after with care and respect by all the staff, they genuinely seem to care about everyone in the home. Mum has all that she needs, she is encouraged to do activities when she feels up to it but respected when she just wants to stay in her room.

I visited my nanny this afternoon and when we walked in everyone was very friendly and said hello. A member of staff looks after my nanny and is always very friendly and helpful. The home is very clean and tidy and everyone made an effort to say hello to my little boy who loved saying hello to all the staff and residents. I met another member of staff who was sorting my nanny's laundry and he stoped and spoke to my nanny which was very sweet of him. The staff are very caring and I couldn't ask for better people to be looking after my Nan. Lewis House is a lovely place and I am very grateful for everything the staff do. A big thank you to you all!
Thank you so much for your 5 star review. We are so glad you find Lewin House such a lovely place for your nanny.

My grandmother unfortunately had to move into a care home unexpectedly. However, despite it being a big change for my gran, the staff at Lewin House were exceptional. The love and support they provided for my gran was second to none. Everyone made my gran feel so comfortable from the day she came and made her feel as much like being at home as possible. The facilities at Lewin House are incredible, with there being activities suited to all. We could not recommend Lewin House more.
Thank you so much for the 5 star review, I D. We are so glad that your gran felt comfortable at Lewin House so quickly.

My mother (89) moved into Lewin House May 2024 from the moment we arrived and mum was welcomed by the staff and shown to her lovely room, we felt sure she would be happy there. The nurses and carers are kind and caring. I am regularly updated on any changes to her health and medication. Her room is clean and well equipped. The meals look delicious. There are many activities available for residents. There is even a hairdresser available! I always feel that mum is safe and secure at Lewin House.
Thank you so much for the 5 star review. We are so glad that you know your mother is safe and secure at Lewin House.
When my husband and I first walked into the building, it felt as if it gave me 'a hug', as the atmosphere was warm and friendly. It still feels that way, so I wanted you to know everyone is doing their part well.

I have found the care, treatment given to my mother top class. All the staff are caring and look out for mums best interests. Everything is always explained and mum is so happy here. Two members of staff in particular are amazing, helpful and caring. The meals are excellent too.

My father-in-law was a resident here for three years. His health improved noticeably upon arrival, as he was cared for with great attention to detail and respected as an individual right from the outset. The devotion of the staff - carers, nurses, providers of entertainment - everyone - was amazing. We always knew he was safe. The care he needed was such as we could never have provided ourselves, and we are deeply grateful to all the incredible staff who did such a skilled and challenging job, with a smile on their faces. They clearly grew to love him, and even when they were short-staffed his needs were met and staff were friendly and cheerful with him and with us. There were always new photographs up in the public areas, often with my father-in-law as an active participant in the activities. When the end came, they informed us with the same kindness, gentleness and thoughtfulness that characterised his care; we remain profoundly grateful.
Thank you for leaving us such a lovely, detailed review. Your positive comments about the home and the staff are so appreciated and our condolences are with you after your loss.
