My Mum sadly passed away recently but had spent the last eight years at Steep House. As a family we are so thankful for the care she received from all the wonderful staff. It was such a relief to know Mum was safe, well cared for, served delicious meals and enjoyed fantastic entertainment. We were
always made very welcome too.

Mum stayed at Steep house from Feb 25 to Jan 26 and her care, food and activities were exemplary. At times Mum had such a busy schedule with activities that stimulated not just here day to day thought but enabled her to re-connect with her memories. Steep house has almost everything you could want,
staff that really care and an environment that's varied with outside space that stimulates the senses with a well laid out and thoughtfully planted garden. Thanks to all the staff at Steep house, we hope if/when we need somewhere like Steep House it will still be there and just as good.

I was very pleased with Steep House from my first visit. The staff were all friendly, welcoming and helpful. A big change was ahead for my mum and I am so pleased she is there, receiving very attentive care.
For the first time in a long time she has been animated and more involved in her environment.

My father had been a resident of Steep House for over 2 years, he sadly passed away late last week. Dad had deteriorated markedly over the past month and while not unexpected his death was understandbly a shock.
Throughout his time at Steep House Dad had been very happy and made it his want to interact
will the staff, they also enjoyed his company, sharp mind and great sense of humour.
Throughout his final weeks the staff regularly popped their heads around the door to chat with Dad. All were fantastic but a special thanks to the team on the medical side. We as a family can't thank the staff for the way they treated Dad and the dignity he was shown during his passing away.
Mum continues to reside at Steep, so we will see all the staff as we continue to visit. A huge thank you to all for the kindness shown to both our parents.
Reply from Stuart Lamacraft, On behalf of the team at Steep HouseThank you for sharing such a heartfelt reflection on your father's time at Steep House. We are deeply sorry for your loss and send our sincere condolences to you and your family at this difficult time. It is moving to hear how your father's humour and sharp mind left a lasting impression on those around him, and how the team were able to provide both companionship and dignity in his final weeks. Your kind words about the medical staff and wider team mean so much, and we are glad your mother continues to feel at home with us. Please be assured that the same care and kindness will always be extended to her.

My Step Dad went to Steep House after a fall and a few weeks in hospital. He was well cared for a looked after by all staff who were very attentive and helpful to him and his individual needs. The carers were great in keeping him amused with different events in the lounge. The ladies were always very
helpful on reception and the (Manager and Deputy) were always very helpful. He has now been moved to Devon to be near me and other family members. Staff at Steep House ensured that the move went smoothly. Many thanks to you all - it was great to know he was in safe hands and being well looked after.

My dad came to Steep House when his health was deteriorating and sadly he was only there for just over a month before he passed away. My brother and I both felt that he could not have been in a better place. The staff were all amazing - so kind and caring. Everyone from the Care Home Manager and Deputy,
the nurses, receptionist, carers and cleaners - absolutely everyone was so kind to our family when we were going through such a difficult time. My dad was always clean, well-dressed and groomed. The nurses and carers were excellent and it was such a relief to know that when we weren't there he was in such safe hands. I highly recommend Steep House - it's a really special place.
Reply from Stuart Lamacraft, On behalf of the team at Steep HouseThank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and generous review during what must still be a difficult time.

My wife was a resident for a short period for respite care for a month last year, an experience she thoroughly enjoyed. Her health improved greatly over that period, and was able to return home and enjoy a normal life. Sadly, her health deteriorated later in the year, and she once again needed respite
care initially, which became full time nursing care. The care she received I can only say was first class. She was treated with kindness and patience at all times. Had a good rapport with all the staff and although sadly passing away in the new year, the last few months of her life were very happy ones. I must say as a visitor, I thoroughly enjoyed my time there aswell. The management and staff are truly a credit to you, and if anyone asks me about a possible stay at Steep House, I would recommend it without reservation. It's a happy caring place, and if I should need care in the future, this is where I'm going.
Reply from Stuart Lamacraft, On Behalf of the team at Steep HouseThank you for sharing such a heartfelt and touching reflection. It means so much to the team at Steep House to know your wife felt happy, cared for, and supported throughout her time with us.

Whenever I visited and staff came to check on my Uncle they always used his name and I was always offered something to drink . The room always smelled clean , the bed sheets and his clothes kept fresh and clean . Nothing was too much trouble if my uncle needed something . The interest in food and the
wonderful chef were a great addition to my Uncles life lived at Steep House. The reception team were always welcoming and helpful , all the staff would make eye contact and give a smile .
Reply from Stuart Lamacraft, On Behalf of the team at Steep HouseThank you for such a thoughtful and detailed review of Steep House.

In February my wife's dementia came to the point when she could no longer be cared for at home and the decision was made to seek a place at Steep House for her future care. We found all the staff to be friendly, cheerful and caring and she soon settled in. Within a few weeks she withdrew to her room,
which she liked, and was soon to be retired to her bed all the time. She was very happy with the care, loved the staff, and was made as comfortable as possible right until the very end. Thank you to all the staff for making her final days as enjoyable as you could.

"I love it here," Mum used to say, "There's always laughter."
I cannot thank the staff of Steep House enough for their tireless care, for their dedication, warmth, their unfailing humour, and for the genuine happiness they brought to Mum in her final years. The compassion, kindness, and understanding
she received throughout her four-year residency at Steep House were exemplary. There is such love here. In her final months and weeks, every aspect of Mum's end-of-life care was managed with great sensitivity. Her sad passing was peaceful and dignified. I am so grateful to every single member of the Steep House staff. From the bottom of my heart: thank you so much.

A massive thank you to all the staff at Steep House for looking after my late mum. From reception to housekeeping, carers to nurses, activity team, and managers, they were so kind to my mum, and to me. The amazing level of care given was more than we could have asked for. There was always laughter

My Dad has spent his last 16 months in Steep House. It was difficult for the family to see him go into a care home due to his dementia but he could not have been placed into better hands and has been looked after so well right up to the end. The whole team have provided such caring and professional

Friendly greetings, wonderful activities, great food and the best housekeeping. They are one amazing team of people who could not do enough for us and we are so grateful that Dad was placed with you.

I would like to thank all at Steep House Nursing Home for making my uncle's life so safe and structured during his last months. He benefited so much from the routine that you put in place, entertainment provided, the absolute care he was given by everyone. My uncle previously lived on his own and during
his life was such a social man, so the company provided was so important, not being on his own for long periods every day, I am sure this extended his life and made it so much better. I would like to thank the lifestyle ladies and the lovely receptionist. The fact that staff came to see him and say goodbye before they left work on his last day, will always stay with me, it showed how much he was loved and cared for. The senior nurse, such a kind gentleman, was there to care in the last hours with us. I would absolutely recommend Steep House to anyone, I am in awe of how you all manage to care constantly, knowing that you are so often part of someone’s last journey. Thank you all so much.
Reply from Sydney Lyttleton, Marketing Assistant at Steep HouseYour kind words about Steep House Nursing Home truly warm our hearts.

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.975
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 56 registered maximum number of service users is 11.2, which has been reached with 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Home Manager

I began my career as a nurse before moving into management, combining practical experience in health and social care with a strategic approach to leadership.


At Steep House, my focus is on delivering high-quality, personalised care, working closely with residents, their families, and friends to build a supportive community. The dedication and compassion of our team makes me incredibly proud to be the Manager here.


I would describe myself as honest, cheerful, and genuinely caring. My goal is to ensure residents feel valued, happy, and fulfilled in their daily lives. Taking time to listen to their needs and making them smile is, to me, the most rewarding part of this role. I firmly believe every resident should have the chance to live their life according to their own wishes, and I am committed to supporting them in this journey.


Leading our team is a privilege and a responsibility I take to heart. Together, we create a warm, welcoming environment that feels like home, where every resident receives the respect, attention, and individualised care they truly deserve.
