All the staff are extremely caring, helpful and dedicated. Although the Christmas celebrations were cut back due to covid everyone was really lovely and attentive. I also attended Valentine's Day celebrations. This was so enjoyable and the room was decorated fantastically well. I was really impressed with everything - every detail had been thought through. All the residents were treated with respect, which showed that they were all cared for as individuals. Every time I go to visit everyone is very welcoming and happy. A lovely place.

I have had respite care and visited friends in care homes. So when I sought care here to cover what I knew would be a stressful period, I was aware of the pros and cons, and my choice of Laurel Bank has proved to be a wise one. Congratulations to the whole team.

Christmas was very enjoyable-lots of good food and a good atmosphere. Meals were very good and being able to watch the King's speech was excellent. It was nice seeing Father Christmas with such a seemingly neverending stream of presents. Thank you so much.

Hi, my name is Jaimy Lee, and I am the Activities Coordinator here at Laurel Bank.
I have worked in the care home industry for over nine years. I started working at Laurel Bank in 2018 as a carer, and then, I was promoted to senior carer which I thoroughly enjoyed.
I moved over to activities in 2020, as I was asked to help out and help encourage residents to join in. During this, I realised how much fun it could be and chose to stay on and got promoted to Activities Coordinator.
I love my role as every day is different and I try to make sure the residents are happy and engage in meaningful activities, this also helps support the transition for new residents.
