The Lawns

Thank you.

Thank you all so much.

When my mother suffered a collapse in her health in 2022 and needed residential care The Lawns was the only contender, offering every reassurance. My wife's mother was well looked after there several years ago. The staff were always friendly and interested in my visits and enriching activities occur almost every day. The Lawns in well-appointed light and spacious rooms. The manager is hands-on and is capable of preventative management of the inevitable situations as they arise. Mum liked the food and the atmosphere which was a boon as she was often difficult. Her needs were assessed/risk assessed and we were kept informed on a regular basis. The Lawns gave us peace and reassurance after a prolonged difficult spell.

I'd like to say a word too about the financial aspect. The gentleman I dealt with put himself out to be helpful. No wonder The Lawns often has a waiting list.

After a prolonged hospital stay, and an unsuccessful return to her sheltered housing flat, we felt my mother-in-law needed 24/7 nursing care. From our first meeting at The Lawns with the manager, through to assessment and admission, we were very impressed by the caring, compassionate, supportive and professional approach offered by all staff. The transition for my mother-in-law has not been easy and her needs are increasing. The peace of mind we have, as we live a few hours away, is knowing that she is treated well and we feel very reassured by our phone conversations with the home. We are very thankful for all the care my mother-in-law is receiving. The Lawns is very welcoming when we visit and the rooms are homely, especially as we could add personal touches with photos and flowers.

My mother is very content living in The Lawns. Each of my visits are made an enjoyable experience. My mum is well looked after and enjoys the cups of tea the most. I can't thank the team enough for all they do for my mum.

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.

The Lawns is a one-off - the most tidy, clean and friendly place. The staff are caring and respectful.

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.

My mother-in-law has been at The Lawns Nursing and Residential Home for many of her twilight years and we can't thank the management and staff enough for all the love, care, kindness and support given during her time here. We so very much appreciate all that you have done. Thank you.

I recently spent 2 weeks in respite at The Lawns Nursing and Residential Home and they looked after me really well. The staff were excellent and very friendly. I would certainly consider using them again for any future respite care I may require. Thank you all.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

Staff accommodating and considerate in difficult circumstances. Dad's stay was short, but staff always helpful, room clean and well presented. Care he received was thoughtful, dignified and high standard.
