Review from Sonia R (Friend of Resident) published on 10 September 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
We visited our friend on many occasions and he was always in the lounge with all these poor people who did nothing but scream and shout at the staff. It was absolutely awful. He finished up in hospital dehydrated and had not had a bowel movement for two weeks. He has now moved to another care home and he is100% better. He is more alert, laughing and joking with us thank God. Know nothing about the care home because he was always in the lounge with all the other poor residents.

Thank you for your feedback. We welcome feedback from visitors, as they help us to reflect and improve. However, we feel it is inappropriate to discuss individual residents health conditions in a public forum. Our Home supports people with a wide range of needs, including dementia and Alzheimer's,...

Review from Chris L (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 13 September 2021 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Mum has been at Shannon Court (Lantern) since May and has settled in really well. Yes, it has taken time, as Mum's condition means she struggles with change, but she is now happy and has friends to talk to. She is looking well, her hair is nicely done, and she is always neatly dressed.
The staff are amazingly kind and caring. They are marvellous with Mum and make her smile. As visitors, we have always felt very welcome.

As a family, we feel comforted to know that although Mum is not well, she is well cared for.

Review from Susan F (Father of Resident) published on 13 August 2019 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
The nursing home could be cleaner, such as a good lick of paint, more pictures up on the wall, the floors mopped when spillages occur and more staff on to look after the residents.

Inspection ratings
We rate most services according to how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led they are, using four levels:
- Outstanding - The service is performing exceptionally well.
- Good - The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
- Requires Improvement - The service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
- Inadequate - The service is performing badly and we've taken action against the person or organisation that runs it.
- Not rated - we have not yet rated this area of the service, this is normally because the assessments we have carried out have been focused on other key questions.
