Overall Experience
Mum was a resident for 2 years. During her stay, she was extremely happy. All the staff were kind and caring and made mum feel special. There were lots of events to look forward to and the entertainment was excellent.

Mum met and befriended some lovely people during her stay.

Review from Gillian P (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 January 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Mum was a resident at Lawton Manor for 1 year. We cannot thank all the staff from the cleaners, laundry workers, carers, nurses to the office and management staff enough for the care they gave to her. They did their best with difficulties sometimes because of low staff numbers. The system used to calculate numbers of staff required is set by a company policy scheme. However, this is not enough. There were times when mum had to wait for care which was unacceptable, not the fault of the staff on duty, it's the fault of the system.

Overall Experience
My wife has been on respite in this establishment for one month and she is happy with the attention and care provided and so am I.

The food is very well presented, tasty and plentiful. The kitchen staff are very patient and caring when serving the residents and great care is taken to ensure that no one is overlooked. The daily entertainments provided are of very high standard and wonderful to see the artists interacting with the residents. A very big thank you to the management and all staff.

Review from Ann T (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 25 January 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I liked Lawton Manor from the moment I entered the building. The entrance hall is large and bright with comfy sofas and freshly cut flowers. Residents can participate in a wide variety of activities every week if they wish to do so and there are also organised visits to local places of interest. My mother-in-law enjoyed visiting the in-house hairdressers every week and also having her nails polished. I have always found the staff very friendly and caring and willing to sort out any problems that may arise. My mother-in-law was very happy and made many friends there.

Review from Mary D (Respite Resident) published on 18 September 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My experience at Lawton Manor (whilst I was there for 3 weeks respite care) was very good. At times, I felt unwell and in pain and was glad of the care and support provided by the care staff. I have benefitted from their diligence and their standard of care and their obvious pride in their work. I have been treated with respect, dignity and also good humour (very important). The choice of food has been very good and eating regularly and well has been important. I have felt safe. Maybe the buzzers at night could do with a silencer (small quibble).

Review from Tom (Son of Resident) published on 18 September 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
The management and staff could not do enough for us. They were most helpful to our late father and our family. We only asked for something and it was provided. E.g fridge, fan, we felt like we were family every time we visited and updated constantly on our father's illness.

When my father was uncomfortable I asked a member of staff who was going on her break to help she put her food and drink to one side and assisted him. The management and staff are a credit to Brighterkind and I hope the company grows with the kindness and help which was given to our late father.

Review from Lynn W (Daughter of Resident) published on 31 July 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Mum was admitted to Lawton Manor for end of life care.
At our initial first visit, we, her family were greeted with friendliness and warmth and the running of the establishment and the finance was explained to us clearly and staff made sure the transfer from hospital to Lawton Manor went as smoothly as possible.
On being admitted mum's comfort and safety was of paramount importance. Mum was unable to use the facilities and take part in activities which all seemed to be wide ranging and stimulating but her surroundings were lovely and her end of life care excellent.

On visiting, staff were always available to talk to and mum's family were treated with great sympathy and compassion when she passed away.

Review from Enid Mary R (Resident / Service User) published on 12 May 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
I have been here for just over 4 months and I am now feeling more at home.

I would like to make a few comments;

1, On the whole the care staff dress, undress and wash me with care. However some staff do not give me enough time. I am 91 years old and blind and cannot be rushed.

2, Meals - I would like a menu, given to me in advance so that I can have time to make my choices. I eat in my room.

3, At what point will I be able to talk to the manager about my care?

Reply from Nicke Hall, Home Manager at Barchester Lawton Manor Care Home

Thank you for your comments. We always welcome feedback as we strive to continually improve our care. At brighterkind, we believe that care should focus on understanding what quality of life means for everyone here, and then provide the right experiences to help our residents live their life to the...

Review from Val M (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My mum spent 10 weeks in Lawton Manor Care Home and was very happy there. She was always treated with great respect and dignity despite her challenging health problems. All the staff were friendly and helpful both to mum and the family. After her first night there, she commented "I think I shall enjoy living here", and I can honestly say she did. In her last days, the nursing care was superb. We couldn't have found a better home for her. Heartfelt thanks to all who made it special for her.

Review from Gemma C (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 17 March 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My Granny was a resident here for 6 years. She had a brilliant relationship with the staff and was extremely happy here. As her family, we felt like we were part of the home too. The care she received was fantastic, and the nurses were always on hand to discuss concerns. I have two young children who were welcome in Lawton Manor Care Home and there was always a small room or outdoor space to use if we did not want to be in the main lounge. There are lots of social activities and we enjoyed going on trips with my Granny. Aspects of the home such as the hairdressers and going to church meant she was able to carry on with "normal" life.

Upon arrival, my nan was treated with the utmost care and dignity. Nothing was too much trouble for staff, they looked after her every need. When she became end of life not only was she cared for with compassion but so were we as her family. Staff went above and beyond for us making sure we were supported through a tough time.

Hi, my name is Rebecca and I am General Manager at Lawton Manor.

I started my career in care as a carer and have worked my way up to then work within a variety of management roles within the sector including home management/commissioning manager/regional support manager/regional manager in both residential and nursing settings.

I am passionate about making a difference to the people who live with us and feel I am in a very privileged role to be able to do this. I am also passionate about working with teams to develop and enhance their skills and knowledge to make them the best they can be.
