Review from Chris H (Son of Resident) published on 6 June 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother moved into The Lawns Nursing and Residential Home in the first few days of May because her on-going health needs meant she could no longer be cared for at home. The transition from home to care home went really well, and the thorough assessment that was done before she moved has ensured she
is getting the level of care she needs. She has settled in, and I have noticed a significant improvement in her well-being and general demeanour. She feels relaxed because she knows she is being looked after and so she's happy to be there. The staff are kind and considerate, and attentive to her needs. The building is in very good condition, and very homely. Mum likes having her pictures on the walls and her photographs on display, and that helps make her room feel like home. It's a pleasure to visit her there and I am confident she's getting the care she needs.
Reply from Melanie Dawson, Manager at The LawnsMany thanks for the comprehensive review - it means a lot to the whole team to be recognised for their hard work - we are so pleased your mum has settled well - she is lovely. Melanie.

My mother moved from another highly rated nursing care home, and I cannot emphasise enough the improvement we have seen in her happiness and health since she moved to The Lawns Nursing and Residential Home. There is also much improvement in her mobility and socialising, and this can only be attributed
to the encouragement she now receives. Finally, during every visit, she tells us how friendly and hard working the management and caring staff are.

The lady relative has been a resident for eight years and has received wonderful care. She has deteriorated during this time in a natural manner but not due to any lack of care by the staff. The last two years have taken their toll due to the difficulty of visiting due to Covid. We have always been
made very welcome when visiting was allowed.

Review from Jonathan P (Son of Resident) published on 7 April 2022 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is my mother's second care home after confusional episodes meant the first became unsuitable for her needs. The Lawns was a godsend, with immediate assessment, understanding and resolution of her requirements and all over the busy Christmas period and during general covid restrictions. Consequent
intermittent confusions after TIAs have been coped with, showing firmness and sympathy and this has been instrumental in helping her to settle contentedly. We particularly appreciate the lack of continuous alarms/beeps/bells having experienced these at my mother-in-law's nursing home and found them distracting. We visit 2-3 times a week and are always impressed by the friendly greetings, information and professionalism of all the staff.
Reply from Melanie Dawson, Manager at The LawnsMany thanks for your comprehensive review - it is appreciated and I will pass these on to the team who work hard every day to make a difference to our residents. Melanie.

The care they gave to my mother was outstanding. My brother and I were kept informed all the time. My mother died a dignified and pain-free death. We were allowed to visit whenever we wanted or ring whenever we wanted, during her last week or so. (Even though no general visiting was allowed due to the
covid outbreak).

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has been a resident at The Lawns for almost three years, she suffers with dementia and the care she receives there is second to none. The carers are kind and compassionate and attend to all of mum's needs treating her with dignity at all times and all under the excellent stewardship of the manager.
The food is excellent with plenty of variety and her room is very comfortable with plenty of space for her personal possessions. She is perfectly contented, often telling me that she is happy and likes it there, which is a great comfort to me. There is an excellent events and entertainment team who endeavour to get residents involved in lots of activities and celebrations. It offers my mum a safe environment and I would not want her to be anywhere else.

My mother was given excellent care in her final three months, none more so than in her final three days, when we were allowed compassionate access, due to a Covid outbreak. The nursing care was exceptional, a peaceful and dignified death. I don't begrudge the money spent as it would have been impossible
to keep her at home.
Reply from Melanie Dawson, Manager at The LawnsMany thanks for your review we pride ourselves in our skills around End of Life care and it is a testament to our Gold Standards Framework status that you recognise this process of care and compassion at this difficult time for families. It was a pleasure to be part of your mother's care journey. Melanie.

The Lawns Nursing and Residential care home is a very caring place. My mother-in-law was with them for nearly 3 years and she was entertained with many activities encouraged to take part and loved her many conversations with her 'angels' as she called her carers. Right up until she passed away, her
care was first class in all aspects. Thank you all so much for the love and attention Mum received from you all.
Reply from Melanie Dawson, Manager at The LawnsThank you so much for all of your kind words - your mum was a much-loved member of our family here and will be very much missed by us all. It was a pleasure being a small part of her life. Melanie.

Since my husband started living at The Lawns, I have always found the management and the staff have shown an amazing commitment to providing an excellent level of care and kindness to him, at times in challenging circumstances. My husband is happy and enjoys the entertainment and life The Lawns gives
him, whilst allowing him the dignity he deserves. His room is very pleasant, overlooking the garden and is always kept clean and nice. I’m very grateful my husband lives in such a lovely home with great staff.
Reply from Melanie Dawson, Manager at The LawnsThank you so much for your very kind and comprehensive review - it is great to see that you are so happy with all aspects of the home and I will pass these comments to the team who work hard to drive forward our mission of enabling our residents to live their lives.

Review from Sara D (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 March 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
After viewing the care home prior to my mum's respite there, we were all confident she would be well looked after and my concerns eased. I left my mother for four days of respite for a much-needed break for my husband and I. I was appalled when I came to collect her that she had been in the same clothes
for the past four days, stale food was down her clothes and she had remained in bed for most of that time.
My heart sank as being a nurse I know how hard it is to care for the elderly but was angry that basic nursing care had failed. My mother was unkempt and dehydrated and wearing wide pads which she never does at home. After phoning up to complain to the home, I am still awaiting their response.
Reply from Melanie Dawson, Manager at The LawnsIt is extremely disappointing when a review of this nature is posted prior to any attempt to speak with the home and get full clarity of fact on the events. Having reviewed all care notes for the weekend I can see that the resident exercised her right to refuse intervention but made full benefit of the nutrition and hydration offered.
Residential care does not provide nursing intervention or nursing care, residents are independent in many aspects. Residents are able to refuse intervention from staff - this maintains dignity and choice. Additionally, you were given the opportunity to cancel your booking due to the immediate and unforeseen restrictions of covid we were met with, you chose to continue with your break away.

A very caring staff team. Nothing is too much trouble. My 94-year-old mum became a resident in March 2021 after her health deteriorated markedly due to the pandemic lockdown. She was extremely lonely and was isolated from friends and family for many months. The staff at The Lawns treat my mum with respect
and thoughtfulness.
Mum now feels safe, happy and cared for. She enjoys the activities provided but also enjoys time on her own.
Thank you to all the staff for making my mum feel so welcome.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The manager and her team at The Lawns Nursing home have transformed my mother’s life, since she moved in August 2020. My mother was in another nursing home where her needs were not being met, which was having a huge impact on her mental health and wellbeing. My mother suffers from a number of medical
issues, including stage 4 COPD, Diabetes and Dementia. When she moved in, she wasn't eating proper meals, her blood sugars were out of control, she was suffering from anxiety and generally felt unwell all of the time. They worked hard to find food she liked (including homemade diabetic puddings every day!), they found an insulin regime that worked, worked with the GP to remove unnecessary medicines (including long term steroids), resolved the anxiety issues with a combination of medication and encouraging her to leave her room and get involved in activities. Eight months on, she now eats three meals a day, her appetite has improved, her blood sugars are stable, she feels a lot better and is happy!

Our mum suffered a stroke at home and had a brief stay in hospital. We did not think that she was ready to go home and so The Lawns agreed to take mum at very short notice for what we thought would be a period of recovery. Due to the covid restrictions, we could not visit but the staff kept us updated
at least once a day. Mum was very comfortable and was having wonderful care from all the staff. Sadly, mum faded quickly and thankfully we were able to be with her when she passed away. We will always be grateful for the care and kindness shown to our mum in her last days.

My mum became a resident in September 2020. She was an end of life resident. The care, kindness and overall treatment given to mum as well as myself and dad was fantastic.

Our daughter, aged 43 years, was cared for at The Lawns for a period of 16 months before passing away in December 2020. She suffered from a rare degenerative brain disease. We found the care provided by everyone at The Lawns to be excellent. The staff were all very caring and showed considerable
compassion when caring for our daughter. The nursing staff and management kept us fully informed of her condition, at a time when Covid 19 rules restricted visits. The manager liaised regularly with our daughter's consultant in Sheffield, ensuring that he was fully aware of any changes and that her medication could be adjusted accordingly. Her room was excellent and was always kept clean by the housekeeping team. Our daughter loved her food and always enjoyed the meals served.
Reply from Melanie Dawson, Manager at The LawnsDearest Ann, it was a very great pleasure for the whole of Team Lawns to be involved with the care of your daughter - she will always hold a special place in our hearts, a very very special person.

The Lawns is an experience in itself. The manager and her team are amazing, their person-centred care is first class. While our loved one was in their care, we were all coping with Coronavirus.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.927)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.927) out of 10 for The Lawns is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 42 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 42 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.927 for The Lawns is calculated as follows: ( (457 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 493 Ratings = 4.927
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Lawns is based on 42 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    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 + 0.025 = 4
    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 63 registered maximum number of service users is 12.6, which has been reached with 42 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.
