Every member of the team is remarkably warm, attentive, and dedicated to making sure I feel safe, respected, and comfortable. The staff treat us like family, always taking the extra time for a cheerful chat or to lend a helping hand with a smile. From the delicious meals to the engaging daily activities, everything is handled with genuine thought and quality in mind. I feel thoroughly looked after, valued, and completely at peace living here.

Every member of the team went above and beyond to help Nan settle in, and they cared for her with such dignity, kindness and respect. After the hospital she came from, the difference was incredibly meaningful. They made Nan feel safe, comfortable and loved.
Her room was beautiful, the food was wonderful and adapted to her needs, and the kindness shown to our family meant so much - even providing meals while we spent precious time with Nan.
Soumya was a true shining star. Nothing was ever too much for Nan or for us, and she spoke to Nan with such gentleness and compassion, making her feel safe and cherished. Suja was also a wonderful support, guiding us through such a difficult time.
We will be forever grateful to The Lawns for giving Nan the peaceful, dignified and loving goodbye she deserved. Thank you
We appreciate you sharing your experience with our home. We are saddened to hear about your loss. Thank you for recognizing the care and dedication of our team and we are so glad to hear that your Nan received high standards of care and support. Hopefully you will go away from this feeling like your loved one received the best possible care.

The team at The Lawns looked after my Dad while he recovered from an injury to his leg during May and June. What was meant to be a two week stay was extended to over 7 weeks. The whole team were amazing. So kind, helpful and caring. First class care backed up with kindness and compassion. I honestly couldn't have wished for a better place for his rehabilitation before heading back home. Thank you so much.

I went into The Lawns for some convalescence and to rest and recover some strength while further investigations into my illness were conducted. The staff, from management, nursings, caring, catering, were without exception friendly courteous and professional. I was very sorry that I wouldn't see them any more when I returned home. I would recommend The Lawns unreservedly to any prospective residents. They will be treated with dignity and every consideration.

After having a major operation I booked The Lawns for 2 wks to recouperate. From day one everyone was welcoming and so very helpful. It was so reassuring to have proper nurses along with the wonderful staff, it made my stay very relaxing and gave me time to recover. The morning lady is definitely made for this job, she doesn't just do a job, she really cares and goes over and above with care and making sure you are well looked after. There was lots of different meals made by the wonderful kitchen staff. So all in all a really good decision to choose The Lawns. Very well run.

My dad is 94, still living at home. For a couple of months he had been very poorly, which resulted in a couple of hospital stays. Not living close by, we discussed some convalescence care for him following his discharge from hospital. From my very first telephone chat with a member of staff at the Bupa contact centre, we knew The Lawns would be the best place for him to recuperate. At very short notice, they organised a stay for him and went to visit him at home to put a plan in place. Everyone in the team has been amazing, the food beautiful and the care extremely compassionate and friendly. I send my heartfelt thanks to everyone for helping my dad to get his 'oomph' back and for allowing me to rest a little easier knowing he was in excellent hands.

They regularly check to ensure she is ok. Initially she was unable to eat solid food so the meals were pureed but presented really well. She is now able to eat properly and the variation of meal choices are excellent and all freshly prepared.
Thank you for your kind words. It is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one is cared for and looked after. It is always nice to hear words like "Patient" and "Attentive" being used to describe our Staff. We hope to continue providing your Mum with the best possible care.
I have been very pleased with the care my wife has received over the last 3 months. The staff have been very well trained and are always keen to perform their duties professionally whilst retaining that personal touch. They often have to deal with difficult situations but are able to deal with...
I have also been impressed with the way that the home is organised to provide the necessary care with meticulous record keeping. On a few occasions, my wife has said that her room is not warm enough and we have heard this comment elsewhere. The admin staff, too, have been most helpful.
Thank you for your kind words. We are very happy to hear you can feel at ease with your wife in our care. We will discuss your feedback with the home's manager to help them continually improve their service and we can look to making sure your wife's room is always at an appropriate temperature.
