Review from Gillie S (Wife of Resident) published on 1 July 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
I am so so grateful to the wonderful team at The Lawns. My husband lived with them for the last 12 months of his life. He had Parkinsons and Dementia. They made it his 'home' from the very start, getting to know him, finding out his likes and his dislikes in terms of food, activities, hobbies, passions in life etc. They took a very personal interest in him and always went out of their way to go above and beyond to make him happy and feel secure. Staff members treated him as part of the family and they treated our family the same too. They became my friends too and it was always a pleasure to visit. As his condition deteriorated and he became more challenging, their professionalism, kindness and compassion towards him was amazing. Sam, Lucie and the wonderful team gave him the best care ever. A number of medical practitioners I dealt with over the last few months told me that they regularly heard great things about the Lawns and I was lucky he was there. I highly recommend the Lawns.

Review from Sue S (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 May 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mother was in The Lawns for over 3 years and initially found it very hard to settle in and accept that she needed their care. The staff were caring and thoughtful in the way they tried to help her to settle in.
I noticed that the new management are improving the ethos and atmosphere in the home and are also improving the surroundings.
In her last months all the staff showed an excellent level of professional nursing & thoughtful and compassionate care to help her feel reassured, respected and listened to.

The management were supportive, helpful and understanding when I needed help or information about her needs and her end of life care.

Review from Vivien T (Husband of Resident) published on 6 May 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
I cannot praise the staff highly enough for the care and compassion shown to my husband who was under their care for two years until his passing in January of this year.
Having Dementia made him suffer from anxiety and at times he could be a little aggressive, however their professionalism and experience supported him to feel safe and cared for. The staff took the time to really get to know him and his needs and thus were able to meet them.
It was one of the hardest things having to admit that I could not longer care for my husband at home and at first, if I am honest, it did feel difficult watching others care for the man I loved so much. However, I learnt that their professionalism, experience and abundance of compassion was what he needed.
The staff were also very kind to myself and my sons as the illness progressed and were very supportive of the next stages that we witnessed as the illness progressed.
I would have not hesitation in recommending The Lawns,

Review from Donna F (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 16 April 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
An experience I never want to value again the home it's self was fitting but the care was disrespectful in my grandads last few weeks I wouldn't rate this home I think another inspection is needed there was a forum of neglect how they treated my grandad the care side just wasn't there and the respect. Plus side there are some lovely care workers there got to say my grandad had a lovely room to have his final moments in the food was also acceptable he was a resident for over a year.
