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.

Overall very happy.
I experienced many obstacles and complications with a previous care home my Dad was staying in, The manger and team from The Lawns were very supportive and helpful in the situation I was facing. With the help and support from the team particularly the Manager eventually managed to get my Dad to The Lawns, my dad instantly became relaxed and, happier and more importantly 'Cared For'!

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.
Thank you for your kind words. It is humbling to hear how much you enjoyed your respite stay with us at The Lawns. We're so glad that the warmth and kindness of our staff have come through in your experience. Thank you for choosing us for your stay.
Very efficient staff enabling us to book mother in law in to The Lawns following a partial hip replacement. She only stayed 2 weeks but the help was invaluable for her recovery. All round very good!

As a resident living with a spinal cord injury, I have had a very positive experience at this care home. The staff clearly understand the complexities of spinal cord care and consistently provide support with professionalism, skill, and respect.
My dignity, independence, and personal routines are always respected. Staff are attentive to pressure care, positioning, and timely assistance, and I am listened to and involved in decisions about my care.
The home is exceptionally well led under the leadership of Chris, whose commitment to high standards and compassionate, person-centred care is reflected in the quality and consistency of support provided.
The environment is clean, calm, and well organised. Living with a spinal cord injury brings daily challenges, but this home has made them easier to manage. I feel safe, supported, and respected, and I would confidently recommend this care home.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are very happy to hear that you always feel included in any decisions about your care and that you feel our home is well led. Thank you again for choosing The Lawns for your care.
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.
It's always encouraging to read reviews like this. Providing kind and attentive care is in the heart of everything we do, so it's lovely to hear your feedback. Your comments are a testament to the dedication of everyone in the home. Thank you for recognizing the care and dedication of our team. Thank you for choosing The Lawns for your stay.
The Lawns for my postoperative respite care provided a positive, helpful, caring atmosphere. Staff treated me with respect and cheerfulness showing knowledge and skill with regard to my condition (knee replacement) The approach was flexible and friendly. The food and service were particularly good and supported my recovery. My room (& other facilities) was comfortable.

My wife and I very happy here.
Thank you for your kind words. We are very happy to hear you both feel at ease in our care. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
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.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us your comments. We are glad to help you and your family through such a difficult time. It is always nice to hear words like "Compassionate" and "Friendly" being used to describe our care. It is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their...
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 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.
My father spent 4 years at The Lawns Care Home. The staff were amazing, friendly and always went the extra mile. He felt safe and secure and loved the daily activities provided by the home. In his final days they provided him with love, care and maintained his dignity. Their support to my family during this difficult time was simply 1st class. Thank you!
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us your comments. We are glad to help you and your family through such a difficult time and we hope The Lawns Care Home did everything possible to support you. It is so lovely to hear that your father felt "Safe" and "Secure" in our care and that he was...

It is always amazing to hear the family of our residents feel comfortable leaving their loved one in the home. We understand the process can be a stressful one and it is brilliant you can trust our staff and find them to be safe and caring.
My friend who was 97 spent the last two weeks of his life in The Lawns having been discharged from hospital. We were so pleased with how they nursed him at the end of his life. I cannot speak too highly of the nursing care and the overall experience. I would have no hesitation in recommending the home.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are glad to have helped you and your family through such a difficult time. We are saddened to hear about your loss. Hopefully you will go away from this feeling like your loved one received the best possible care.
Unfortunately, my mother had to go to hospital for six days after a server nosebleed, but when she returned to The Lawns, the staff were very good, helping her to readjust. I find all the care staff very caring and patient.
Thank you for your kind words. We are glad to help you and your family through such a difficult time and we hope The Lawns did everything to make the readjust as easy as possible. It is always nice to hear words like "very caring and patient" being used to describe our care. We hope to continue providing your mother with the best possible care.
The staff are quite attentive. Maybe walk by of rooms could be more frequent - just to check all is ok.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us your comments. We hope The Lawns Care Home did everything possible to make the transition as easy as possible. We have a genuine regard for all of our residents, so we will discuss your feedback with the home's manager to help them continually improve their service.
My wife has been a resident at this home for the past three months, receiving full nursing care and round-the-clock assistance due to her inability to leave her bed. From the moment we stepped through the doors, it was evident that The Lawns Care Home prioritises the well-being and comfort of its residents. The staff exude warmth and empathy, creating an atmosphere that feels more like an extended family rather than a clinical facility. Despite the challenges my wife faces in her mobility, the caregivers have gone above and beyond to ensure her comfort and dignity are upheld at all times. The home has exceeded our expectations. The combination of compassionate care and cleanliness makes it a standout choice for anyone seeking a nurturing environment for their loved ones. We are grateful to the staff for their unwavering dedication and care that have shown.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. It is always lovely to hear words like warmth and comfort being used to describe our care and we are so pleased you both feel a part of our Bupa family. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to make your wife's stay as comfortable as possible.
