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.

I am now visiting my 4th relative at The Lawns Nursing Home, Kempsey - one thing that in itself says a great deal about what I think. The staff have been caring to not only the patient but also to me. There is always something to ask and always someone there to spend time answering queries or give reassurance. The premises are spotlessly clean and there are no unpleasant odours.
Thank you Sylvia.
At The Lawns, she was happier than I had seen her for years. The love and care were superb.

The staff work under immense pressure and do a good job for the work that they do. The home is always clean as is my father. I cannot fault them in any way.

They are doing a job which most of us could not do effectively or willingly.

My father has been a resident of The Lawns Nursing Home for over two years and in that time his care has been exemplary. Living some distance from The Lawns Nursing Home I have absolute trust and faith in all the staff to ensure my father's well-being.

It was very important for me to find Dad the best possible care when his complex medical needs required 24-hour care. The Lawns Nursing Home provided this. The way my dad was treated with dignity by all the members of the team was outstanding. I had the utmost confidence that when I could not be there to care for my Dad, Lawns Nursing Home took very good care of him. I would absolutely have no hesitation in recommending The Lawns Nursing Home as an outstanding care facility.
Thank you for your kind words, it always means so much to my staff to read words of appreciation. It was a real pleasure to nurse your Dad and to support you.
My husband was only at the home for 9 days.
The few people I met were very nice indeed.

My mother was at a home that was closing. The Lawns very promptly had a room and all the arrangements were made with no fuss or worries. On arriving Mum was warmly welcomed and despite her severe dementia, the staff are kind and caring - nothing too much trouble. So much improved on her last nursing home. She always looks fresh and tidy and by the amount of shampoo and bubble bath used is regularly showered and hair washed, something that rarely happened at the last place.

Very happy with the care my father received at Lawns Nursing Home. He was extremely grateful to them for all the care they gave to him in his 10 weeks at the home. Staff very friendly and welcoming when we visited. The food wasn't much to dad's liking but he was terminally ill so appetite was limited. In all, The Lawns is a very good nursing home which I would recommend.
I was worried when told that my husband would need to go into a nursing home, but all those worries have disappeared as this is like home from home. The home is spotless and nothing is too much trouble for the staff. There is something for the residents to do or join in activities every day.

My husband has been here in palliative care since Sept 30th, he is always treated with the utmost care and consideration. He is bed bound and has to be fed and have everything done for him. The nurses, carers and all the workers at the home make sure he is well looked after and spoken to, although he can not often give an answer because the Parkinson's has taken his speech.
Thank you, very much appreciated.
