Thank you for leaving a positive review. Cleanliness is very important in a care home and we always maintain high standards. We also pride ourselves on being tidy, this is especially important with dementia clients as busy areas can get confusing! Thank you also for your comment about our staff, they will be happy to hear their hard work is being recognised.

My friend has been a resident of Lowmoor Nursing Home for over four years now. She is always clean and is well looked after. She is struggling with Alzheimer's, so would most probably not be alive if it wasn't for the care she gets at this home. She always seems pleased to see me when I visit when she's awake anyway. The staff are always friendly. Can't find anything not to like about this home.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely and heartfelt review. At Lowmoor, we offer intense specialist care packages for individuals that require a more bespoke care provision, and these words have such a positive impact on our hard-working staff teams, and I will make sure to pass them on.
My mother has been a resident at Lowmoor Nursing Home since early 2016. In that time, the staff and management have been extremely professional in all areas of care. I would definitely recommend this nursing home.

My dad went in for respite, and the care he received was outstanding. The staff change my dad's outlook on care in nursing homes and would use the Lowmoor Nursing Home again. The staff and management were excellent; well done.

Thank you so much for taking the time to provide your feedback. It was a pleasure having your father stay with us and he very much felt part of the Lowmoor family. We are very proud of our great team and will ensure they receive your lovely comments. Kind regards, Manjas Lidder.

The manager and staff have gone way beyond the extra mile in duty of care for my brother and consideration of my circumstances that have required sensitivity and cooperation throughout and in the arrangements for his funeral today, for which I owe a great debt of gratitude to all staff past and present. Special thanks and commendation to the management on behalf of all family and friends.
Thank you for your lovely comments, they are much appreciated by all the staff and he will be sadly missed by all of us. It was an honour to know and to care for him.

Whilst visiting a family friend, the reception staff were very welcoming and the activities coordinator was very friendly. I noticed the staff were very attentive and caring and whilst I was sitting, I had a look through some photographs of the residents taking part in activities and I am amazed at how much is on offer. It is very comforting to know that such an effort is being made. Thank you.
Would not recommend this home, Mamma was in for 9 months and we had several complaints that either weren't taken seriously or weren't dealt with properly. Found the home to be dirty and the staff and management to be rude.

I have been visiting Lowmoor Nursing Home on a weekly basis for the last 2 years and find the home clean, homely and the staff very caring and friendly. The manager seems friendly and is always willing to talk through any problems concerning my brother-in-law. There is always some sort of activity going on, birthday party, afternoon tea, pancake day, Halloween etc. Anything to celebrate and they will do it. The residents love to join in the celebrations and those who are able, have a little dance. They even bring a singer in to entertain them. In my opinion, Lowmoor is a nice friendly home and I feel the residents are well cared for.
This care home is a lovely home through and through. Always made to feel welcome upon entering. It is always clean and my relative always looked presentable. The staff are a lovely bunch and are always there with anything you need. Not only do they care about the residents but also the family...
This care home is a lovely home through and through. Always made to feel welcome upon entering. It is always clean and my relative always looked presentable. The staff are a lovely bunch and are always there with anything you need. Not only do they care about the residents but also the family members. The manager's door is always open to answer any questions given to her.
Thank you for your kind comments. We take great pride in having a family feel to our home.

After my aunt being moved from three previous care homes and then to two different hospitals, we were determined to find the right home for her. After recommendations from both staff and a resident's wife, we visited Lowmoor. We were instantly impressed with both the management and the care team. We knew straight away this was going to be the right place. The facilities were very impressive, there's even a bar, shop and potting shed. The residents all looked clean, tidy and well looked after. My auntie arrived via patient transport and by the time we arrived (within a couple of hours) she'd been given a bath, had a meal and shown around the whole home. Her room was newly decorated with brand new curtains, bedding and a basket full of treats and toiletries. She was made very welcome. She has now been there over 5 months and I cannot say a bad word against the place. She is very challenging at times but the staff are very supportive and treat her with dignity and manage her very well.
Thank you for your kind words. It's an honour to look after your Aunt.
The staff are kind and considerate.
I would definitely recommend this care home to anyone. It is the best thing we did for our mama. She is really happy.
