The Lawns Nursing Home, in Kempsey, near Worcester, is an award-winning home with a reputation for the highest standards of care. Nominated for the Gold Standard Framework for provision of End of Life Care "Care Home of the Year" award in 2019, and reaccredited with the Platinum Award.
The home opened a new purpose-built extension of 22 beds in late 2018 which caters for both residential and nursing residents as well as a recent extensive refurbishment of the Manor House which is the oldest part of the home. Staff believe the best way for you to find out more about the home is to speak to the resident ambassador, residents and their families, to read the reviews for the care that is provided and of course to come and visit the home, open any time.

Care is delivered by a registered nursing team and long-serving care and ancillary teams.

The care and support offered to my relative was kind, compassionate and caring. They were well aware of Mum's needs and wishes, and always ensured her voice was heard. Staff were excellent in anticipating needs and there was a very varied activity programme that was always very good humoured and creative. Mum very much enjoyed her stay there.
Thanks for the lovely review, your mum was a really kind and lovely person who made every one of us laugh.

After nearly 2 years living in The Lawns my mum sadly passed away 11 days ago. The care and loving she received during her time there was second to none with attention to detail by each and every team. The emotions when your loved one passes are extreme and the process itself tough, The Lawns made this as easy as possible. They treated Mum as a person and dealt with her in a dignified, respectful, caring and kindly manner and looked after my sister and I throughout what was a very difficult day allowing us time to be with Mum and helping wherever they could. The care home manager has kept in regular touch ever since helping us with arrangements, registering Mum's death on our behalf and answering every question we have had. Thank you so much all of you for everything you have done for Mum and for us over the past few years we really felt part of the Lawns family. This is a wonderful place to spend your final years.
Thank you for such a lovely review, your kind words will be appreciated by the whole team, we will miss your mum, a lady to the end and you are both a credit to her and I know you are very much loved.
I am most grateful for the love, care and attention my wife received during her two-year stay. Nothing was ever too much trouble. The staff in particular show great kindness. It was notable that I was always greeted by name whenever I visited. This is a large enterprise but it is run like a family...

Always willing to answer questions. Very peaceful environment for those who need that, with a hive of activity for those who want and are able to get involved in the many activities offered.
They have been extremely caring of my mother, treating her with kindness, respect, and dignity. I particularly like the computer-based reporting system that can be remotely accessed for updates on the resident.
Thank you for the lovely review you have provided, I will pass these comments to the team as I know they will appreciate your kind words.

When visiting we have been met with courteous and friendly staff, who go about the building and duties in a professional and dedicated way.
My cousin considers The Lawns to be her home and I am happy that she is a resident there.
Many thanks for your lovely review - I will pass your comments to the team.
Great home, lovely warm feel with great caring staff and nothing is 'too much trouble'. The manager is always available and very helpful and supportive of both my resident father and also my aged mother who still lives at home.

Thank you for your review. I will pass your comments onto the team.
The effort put into the entertainment for the residents is outstanding. Over and above the necessary good and friendly care. I am impressed with the dedication of the team to keep the resident's minds alive and working.

Whilst our loved ones don't want to be in a care home, I am able to relax in the knowledge that I have chosen the right home for her to live in.
Meals are very good, medication is monitored and administered accurately, and activities are varied and seasonal. Families can be involved if they wish to do so.
The rooms are spacious, well-furnished and clean.
The online portal scheme is so helpful and any messages through this system are answered in a timely manner, with relevant action taken if necessary.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Lawns.

Mum has, within the past few months, had to be moved upstairs to the nursing floor of The Lawns due to the gradual deterioration of her health. It was difficult for me to accept this change, however, the staff on the nursing floor are absolutely amazing. Mum has settled down well despite becoming more and more reliant on the staff for her everyday needs. The standard of care is excellent, and the staff are just beyond amazing for their warmth, care and how much they do for each and every resident. I come away from seeing Mum knowing that she is in excellent hands and being cared for with kindness, and I want to thank each and every member of staff for what they do, every single day.
Thank you for your review; I will pass your lovely comments on to the team, looking after your mum is a pleasure.

After 5 weeks spent in hospital, we were lucky enough to secure a place at The Lawns for my mother-in-law. From her arrival, she was welcomed by all the staff and settled much better than I was expecting. It is such a warm and friendly home where nothing seems too much trouble. She has become more sociable than I've seen her in many years, all thanks to the fantastic staff. I no longer have to worry about her being on her own at home, home is now The Lawns, and we could not have found anywhere better for her.
Thank you for your kind review; I will pass your lovely comments on to the team, who I know will appreciate every word.
The care and attention my father received was outstanding, so professional, nothing was too much trouble, I could not fault them in any way. The entire two years my father was there was just the same very high standard.

After a bad fall at the end of May, A&E, then hospital for 3 weeks and then being transferred to another care home for three weeks, Mum managed to get a room on the nursing floor. She has ongoing untreatable problems and has been caringly looked after by nursing staff and assistants. The home has a welcoming feel and the staff ratio is really good. If I had to go in for end-of-life care I would be happy to go the The Lawns.
Many thanks for your kind review, I will pass on your comments to the team who will be pleased to hear your feedback.
My father was looked after very well in the few months he was at the home. He needed a great deal of personal care and was treated with the utmost resect. He seemed happy and joined in with the many activities and also formed a close bond with staff who were all lovely. Thank you.

Thank you for your kind review. Your father was a lovely gentleman who it was a pleasure to provide care for. I will ensure the team is aware of your compliment.
Excellent care home. Plenty of parking spaces. Everyone seems very friendly and helpful. So nice to be able to take our dog in and our friend appreciates and is happy to see her. My friend is very happy there. She says the food is really good and there’s plenty of choice. Thank you!

My father moved into The Lawns on 14/01/2024, after his partner had died and the funeral had only been two days before. There wasn’t a room in the residential care, so he has been in a nursing bedroom until he can move to residential next week. Every effort was made to help me, by giving him a...
The staff couldn’t have been more caring, friendly and helpful, to both Dad and myself. The stimulation he is getting from the attention of the staff, the activities available and the encouragement to mix with others, is wonderful. He has only been there for four days and he is already looking better than he has looked for months, despite the massive changes in his life over the last three weeks.
I am amazed at how wonderful this home is proving to be. Thank you to all of the staff.
Many thanks for the lovely review - we are glad that Dad has settled and he is happy. I will pass your comments to the team.
Thank you to the staff at The Lawns for the way you looked after my dad during his time with you, knowing that he was cared for with the utmost respect until he passed, brought great comfort to me and my family. Nothing was too much trouble, great nursing home run by great staff.

I cannot thank the manager and staff enough for the excellent care my uncle receives. I can honestly say you nursed him back to life, considering he was placed with your home on an end-of-life care package, so the expertise, care, love, and patience you have given/shown considering we are going into our 5th year we you speaks volumes. There is always a smile and a cheery face when visiting and you leave knowing your loved one is in good hands and content. A special thank you to one staff member in particular for all you have done for our family.
Thank you for the lovely review i will pass your comments to the team.

I was invited to join in activities if I wished to do so and enjoyed a gentle exercise class one morning which was also beneficial for my recovery.
The meals were excellent, with a variety of choices to cater for all tastes. I ate some meals in my room but enjoyed joining other residents in the dining room at lunchtime and being able to chat. Even though my stay was short, I felt that members of staff made time to get to know me and my likes and dislikes which made my stay an exceedingly enjoyable one. It was my birthday before I left and I was made to feel very special.
I would thoroughly recommend staying at The Lawns.
Thank you.
Thank you for the comprehensive review, we are really pleased you enjoyed your stay we enjoyed you being here, I will pass your lovely comments to the team.
