Review from Katie P (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 27 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My precious Nan was a resident at The Lawns Nursing Home for only a short time before we sadly lost her last month, but the care and compassion she received there was truly exceptional.
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

Overall Experience

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 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'!

Overall Experience
My Mother stayed at the Lawns of three weeks of respite care whilst I made a visit to my daughter in Florida.
The nursing care my Mother received was excellent. The carers were very professional and attentive making my Mother feel very safe and calm and very well looked after.
The local management team were extremely helpful in arranging the stay.

Choosing the Lawns proved to be an excellent decision.

Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Natasha Burns-Leigh, Customer Service Advisor at The Lawns Care Home

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.

Review from Anthony C (Resident / Service User) published on 10 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Alison Horridge, Customer Advisor on behalf of the team at The Lawns 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.

Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Natasha Burns-Leigh, Customer Service Advisor at The Lawns Care Home

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience
Mum is 99 and after a couple of stays in hospital was unable to return home. Mum has now been at The Lawns Nursing Home for 3 weeks and our initial impressions are very good. Everyone seems patient, attentive, caring and friendly. The manager is available if needed and there is always a friendly face at the nurses station to answer any queries.

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.

Reply from Lisa Henderson, Customer Care Advisor at The Lawns Care Home

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.

Review from Chris H (Husband of Resident) published on 16 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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 these in a sympathetic manner.

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.

Reply from Maria Ricketts, Customer Care Adviser at The Lawns Care Home

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 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.

Overall Experience

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.
