The staff have all been absolutely fantastic. Too many names but from reception to the cleaners 'brilliant'.
Thank you from my family, Paul.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience. We are delighted to hear that your mum's health and mental well-being have improved and that our trustworthy staff provided such fantastic service. We will share your kind words with the team as we remain committed to quality and person centered support.
We were quite apprehensive when my mother, a dementia sufferer moved in last year as she can be quite feisty and challenging. Thankfully this was totally unfounded as mum settled very quickly in her comfortable room helped and supported by fantastic staff. The home is clean and comfortable and warm, and generally well looked after. The team at Laurel Bank really seem to care about their residents communicate well and are always available.
Thank you very much for taking the time and trouble to write a review for Laurel Bank. It's so good to know that all is going well and are able to give such positive feedback regarding the team who work so hard to ensure residents are safe, well and happy. Kind regards
My mother is very well looked after and the staff treat my mother with great respect and kindness.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us for Laurel Bank. We are so delighted that you are pleased with our home and the team here. They will be so happy to hear your lovely words of recognition. Have a lovely day and thank you again for the great rating.
Small things like staff getting her ready to go out with friends by doing her hair and making sure she is clean and tidy shows the staff are caring and understanding of residents and family needs.
Thank you very much for taking the time and trouble to write a review of Laurel bank, it is appreciated. The team are dedicated and skilled and we are so pleased that their thoughtfulness is noticed. Kind regards
However, they take time to engage in conversation with mum and every resident, taking time with them. They welcome her family and they never discourage when we sometimes turn up at the same time in numbers. We did have concerns at the beginning of her residency, that she wasn't drinking. We want to thank management for turning this around. All staff care for all residents with respect and kindness. They are all angels and we love them.
Thank you so much for your heartfelt review. We appreciate your feedback and recognition of the team and their dedication and skill. Kind regards
Lovely home. Caring staff. Dad loves it and that is the most important thing. Well run and approachable management. They solve issues straight away. Fantastic.
Thank you for taking the trouble to review Laurel Bank, your feedback is very important to us. Kind regards
I find Laurel Bank a lovely place for my brother staff are very kind and lovely. The rooms are cleaned every day and are a good standard. Plenty of activities if clients want to join in. I am happy my brother is a resident here.
Thank you very much for such positive feedback regarding the care and activity at the home. Kind words regarding the staff are always appreciated. Kind regards
They always keep me informed of any changes
I could not ask for better care.
Thank you very much for taking the time and trouble to write such a lovely review for our home. To know you 'could not ask for better care' is praise indeed! Kind regards
Excellent care given to my mum. When she first went in she was quite poorly & they took goid care of her & reassured her. She is now better than when she first went in & needs less care now but still is cared for very well.
Thank you very much for your review and ratings. It's so reassuring for others who are searching for care to hear about how others have benefitted from the dedicated care and support provided by the team. Everyone in the home works so hard to ensure that all residents are happy, safe and well. Kind regards
With the new owners I hope to see more improvements both internal and external.
Thank you very much for your review of Laurel Bank. Your kind comments regarding the team are appreciated, as they work so hard to ensure everyone is safe, well and happy. You may have spotted that we have begun refurbishment by replacing corridor flooring, plus painting and decorating to refresh firstly the dining room. So things are moving along. Kind regards
Staff are caring and compassionate.
The cleanliness of the home is second to non.
The meals are always varied and well received.
I wouldn't fail to recommend this home.
Thank you very much for the kind comments and review ratings for Laurel bank, we appreciate your feedback. Kind regards
Clearly Chronic Understaffing - Reception consistently unmanned; staff rarely visible. Emergency alarms (used by my uncle) went unanswered, risking safety during crises. Hygiene Failures, Persistent foul odors, and dirty, No visitor sign in book on some visits, creating critical fire evacuation risks. Reception area not staffed. Residents isolated for hours without checks, we sat for over a hour without any staff making a visit. Some Common areas sit empty, yet TVs/lights wastefully run, reflecting poor oversight. Systemic Disarray, The facility lacks structure, prioritisation of care, and staff engagement. Basic hygiene, safety, and dignity appear to be disregarded. Clothing missing for weeks on end, This is not how a patient with dementia should be treated. The place appears to lack quality management and leadership.
Thank you for taking the time to review Laurel Bank. We are disappointed with the negative experience you have had while visiting. We always welcome honest feedback as this helps us to improve. If you would like to contact the home manager on 01535 274 774 we would love the opportunity to discuss our concerns in more detail. We look forward to hearing from you, thank you and have a lovely day.
On my first visit to Laurel Bank to assess whether my mother should move there from another care home I was impressed with the car park facility and the actual building of the care home. It's a purpose-built home unlike a lot of others I visited. Large bedrooms/toilet facilities etc. Large hallways/lounges/dining rooms. Clean everywhere. Friendly and courteous staff. Menus very varied.
Thank you very much for taking the time and trouble to write a review for Laurel Bank Care Home. Your 5* ratings and comments are very much appreciated. Kind regards
I find the staff very helpful and welcoming. They always get back to me when requesting respite care for mum with available dates and try their best to accommodate requests. I feel mum is safe and well looked after whilst on respite which gives me a much needed break.
Thank you for taking the time to review Laurel Bank so highly. We are so thrilled you are happy with the care we provide. The team will be delighted to hear your warm words of recognition. Thank you again for the review and have a pleasant day.
Mum is suffering from dementia bless her, so she gets very confused some days but all the staff are so lovely with her, reassuring her all the time. They always make her look nice for when any of her family go to visit her, which is every day. From the cleaners to the entertainment staff, it feels like one big family, which is what mum is used to. Her room is always lovely and clean so we are very happy mum is staying there. Thank you.
Thank you very much for taking the time and trouble to review Laurel Bank. The team work so hard to ensure that our residents are safe, happy and well, so to have the team mentioned for their efforts is wonderful. Kind regards.
Mum seems to have settled well at Laurel Bank. She hasn't been there long but she seems to have settled well. All the staff are really good to her and try really hard to meet her needs.
Thank you for taking the time to review Laurel Bank so favourably. We are thrilled to hear that your mum is settled in with us and she is comfortable and content. The team will be delighted to hear your warm words of recognition. Have a wonderful day and we hope to see you again soon.
My mum has been in the care of Laurel Bank since September and has settled well due to the friendly and caring staff both those who directly care for her and those that administer and organise. All staff have been supportive of Mum, myself, and the wider family during what could have been a difficult time for Mum. Whenever I have called in, the home is clean and tidy, friendly and helpful, attentive and professional. They all listen well and get creative to help make things happen. Their community connections are very helpful and lovely to see the range of daily activities to keep residents stimulated and interested in all that is going on. Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to review Laurel Bank so highly. We appreciate all feedback and are thrilled you have had a positive experience with us. We are delighted to hear your mum has settled in well with us and you are happy with the high level of service we aim to provide our residents.

The home needs refurbishing in communal areas and individual rooms but this is being addressed.
Thank you for taking the time to review Laurel Bank so highly. We appreciate your feedback and are thrilled you have recognised the continued improvements we are making in the home. Our staff will be delighted to hear your warm words. Please visit us again soon, have a lovely day.
My stepmother has been in the care of Laurel Bank since January 2024 and from the beginning of her care has enjoyed continual professional care. We (my husband +1) are truly confident that my stepmother is receiving the best care possible. The transition from home to care was not easy for my stepmother, but at every turn, she was treated with great patience and respect. Now she is in her final weeks, everything is being done that can possibly be done. Laurel Bank and its staff have my total gratitude.
Thank you for taking the time to review Laurel Bank so highly. We are heartened by the kind words of recognition for our home and the team. Our main goal is to provide the highest standard of care to our residents and offer as much support as we can to their loved ones in a safe and comfortable...
