Review from Danny B (Son of Resident) published on 30 April 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Dad was no longer able to live alone being diagnosed with advanced Vascular Dementia. We chose the Lawns as a nursing home having visited without notice and met management and nursing staff, getting a good feeling. Lawns were wonderful in making Dad's discharge from hospital at short notice trouble

free, causing him as little stress as possible. Dad arrived at Lawns underweight and frail, with little interest in his surroundings and in engaging with others. He settled in quickly, gained weight and was gently integrated into life at Lawns. He needed nudging to join into activities, which with the sympathetic way his carers and activity staff acted began to happen, they got his sense of humour and he increasingly became his old self. We continued to visit Dad at Lawns without notice and consistently found him being looked after with compassion and genuine interest by the same cohort of carers month in and month out. Lawns End of Life care for Dad was faultless. Thank you.

Reply from Melanie Dawson, Manager at The LawnsThank you for your lovely words, your dad was a character and it was a pleasure to spend time with him, a celebration of a life well lived

Overall Experience

Thank you all for the wonderful compassionate care that you showed my father in his final two weeks with you. We were so lucky to have you manage his end of life care.

You were all so incredibly kind and caring and I reference you fondly in the eulogy that I am writing.

Many staff had a special

touch with dad - being incredibly kind and you certainly helped him to settle in.

We are eternally grateful that we were lucky enough to have you care for our dad when he most needed it. Thank you again so much!

Reply from Melanie Dawson, Manager at The LawnsMany thanks for allowing us to be the care solution for your father - an incredible man who's life i am sure will be celebrated with wine and many stories

Review from James S (Son of Resident) published on 13 March 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My Mother was an independent Lady who was always self sufficient and hated being a burden on people.
In June 2025 my mother was Transferred to The Lawns after being in Hospital having had an earlier fall.
The care given to my mother compared to her stay in Hospital was Chalk and Cheese, The Lawns

staff looked after my mother with kindness, consideration, dedication and some times humour when it was appropriate.
The Lawns Manager went to the Hospital to arrange Mums transfer and to settle her into the Lawns, we are extremely grateful to her for helping us in getting to the best place for Mums onward care.
I visited most days to see Mum and met most of the staff who were really friendly and helpful in settling her into the home and becoming her friends certainly helped make her days more enjoyable.
I cannot sing the praises of the Management or Staff loud enough, they provided excellent service and companionship with a friendly and caring attitude.

Reply from Melanie Dawson, Manager at The LawnsThankyou so much for this lovely comprehensive review, your mum was a wonderful vibrant lady and a pleasure to care for
I will pass these complimentary words to the team. Melanie

Mom went in to the Lawns Nursing Home at the end of November 2025, since being there she has put on weight and has made such good progress, I cannot fault the home or the staff at all, it is a wonderful happy place and feel so lucky that mom got a place there. It's the best decision that we could have

made.

Overall Experience

Mum moved into the lawns in February from another care home where we had a bad experience. Mel was great in helping us move mum and as soon as we arrived I just knew things would be good and they were. The staff are so caring and get to know each resident so well knowing their likes and dislikes and

ways to support them emotionally. Mum had limited mobility but was still included in everything they did. There are so many activities going on and Kirsty always cheered everyone up. The personal care was always provided as and when it should be. The nurses were always there when we wanted to discuss anything. Everyone was so kind the cleaners the handy man the reception absolutely everyone. At the end of mums journey every one was there and nothing was too much trouble and my mum and our family were supported so well. I am forever grateful to all of you for providing a loving home for my mum and giving us the opportunity to make some great memories in the time she was with you. Thank you.

Overall Experience

My mum was at the The Lawns Nursing Home from October 2025 after a long stay in hospital. Straight away she was treated with respect and given back her dignity. She was well cared for, kept clean and tidy. Had her hair done and nails painted, which she enjoyed. She sat at the table for meals with friends

she made and enjoyed the conversation over a glass of wine. The staff were wonderful, nothing to much trouble, made her laugh again. All this made my Mum short stay pleasurable.

Overall Experience

We were very happy with The Lawns. The staff are all lovely. They made mum feel welcome and helped her to settle in. The staff ensure that the care each resident receives is personalised to their needs and they are super patient whilst doing this. There was always something going on and it was mum's

choice to join in or not. She enjoyed the food and thought the "house" was beautiful. We were never concerned for her safety or wellbeing which was a huge relief after she'd been struggling- but determined -to stay in her own home. Her room was nice and she enjoyed having assisted showers (something she refused at home!) and she even had her hair done. Personally, I enjoyed chatting with other residents and staff and always felt welcome when I arrived to visit.

From the initial enquiry as to a vacancy for end of life care for mum, giving advice and guidance how to achieve the care, to in fact mum being made to feel comfy and welcome all of this only taking a few days. The staff were attentive to both mums needs and meeting expectations of the family, they

quickly became familiar with her needs that were ever changing. The staff kept family up to date as care changed. Thank you for making mums final days as comfortable as possible.

Overall Experience

We were fortunate enough to get our Dad a place at the Lawns for some much needed Respite care, this was all done with little notice for all involved. The Team at the Lawns made it happen and the staff were very warm & welcoming. They had an efficient caring and nursing team whom Dad grew very fond

of, we felt he was well looked after and incredibly safe in their care during this time. As family members, we were fully encouraged to be involved and informed in all decisions and we were also well looked after during dad's stay. There is a very happy content buzz about this nursing home from both residents and staff.

Overall Experience

My sister was admitted to The Lawns care home following a number of severe strokes.
The respect, compassion and nursing care was outstanding and meant that we were able to spend valuable time with her during the last few months of her life.
In particular I would like to mention Issy, Becka and Shelley

who were able to communicate with her in a way that we weren't. The way they looked after her, did her hair and sang to her during her showers was a great comfort to me and her two children.
I will always be grateful to Mel and her team for the care provided.

Overall Experience

My Father and Stepmother have been residents at The Lawns for about 7 weeks and the staff in this wonderful home are exceptional. They are friendly, caring and professional and create a safe and homely environment with community spirit.
I can't thank Melanie, the manager enough for accommodating both

our parents at such short notice and supporting us through the emotional process of transitioning from home to Nursing home, including the CHC assessment.
She is truly amazing!
My Father is frail and has many medical, nursing and care needs. The nurses and carers are excellent.
He receives monitored and reviewed individualised care, concerns are addressed and we are kept informed.
His room is light, comfortable ,clean and tidy with ample space for cherished possessions and there's always a friendly and willing person on hand with the offer of support and refreshments when needed.
Thank you all so much

Overall Experience

The Lawns was always clean, tidy and fresh when entering and throughout the whole building. The garden areas were pleasant to sit and enjoy in the warmer weather. The information boards were very useful to see the upcoming events.
When my husband first went into The Lawns, the staff were very keen

to know as much information about him as possible, to allow them to engage and offer him appropriate activities where possible, and this proved very useful as time went on.
The staff were always very pleasant, cheerful and professional. It was apparent that the care they gave was more than the basic 'meeting the needs'. They always showed respect, dignity and great understanding to my husband, and in the final few days, they helped the whole family understand and come to terms with the situation.

Review from Damian S (Son of Resident) published on 31 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

During a very difficult period for our family, The Lawns Nursing Home in Kempsey became a true sanctuary for my father over the course of three months while he was extremely unwell. The level of care, compassion, and professionalism shown by every member of staff - from carers and nurses to the management

team - was nothing short of exceptional.

From the very first day, the team treated my father with dignity, patience, and warmth. They took the time to understand his needs, communicate clearly with our family, and ensure that he was not only safe and comfortable, but genuinely cared for. Their attention to detail, responsiveness to medical issues, and consistent emotional support made an enormous difference to his well-being - and to our peace of mind.

What truly stood out was the genuine kindness and dedication that permeated every interaction. The staff went above and beyond, always with a smile and a kind word. Simply amazing people! Thankyou to you all.
