Both my parents have been, and one is still in Lister. I cannot praise Lister highly enough. I know when I go home after visiting, I have complete peace of mind that she is looked after in such a wonderful and sympathetic way. I can't praise all the staff enough.

Both my parents have been, and one is still in Lister. I cannot praise Lister highly enough. I know when I go home after visiting, I have complete peace of mind that she is looked after in such a wonderful and sympathetic way. I can't praise all the staff enough. It's like a first-class hotel suite with all the benefits of a hospital.
Thank you for your kind words; it is nice to hear we are achieving our goals in looking after our residents. We are pleased that you can go home and relax after your visit. Visitors are very much part of the Lister House family.
My husband attends day care once a week and could not be happier about his care. I have not put a rating for rooms as he isn't a resident and I haven't seen the rooms.

Thank you for this feedback, our day care continues to grow from strength to strength since re-opening, following the pandemic. It's always lovely to greet you when you come into Lister. Thank you for giving our residents your valuable time.

My father was a resident at Lister House Care Home prior to his death in 2015. He was very well cared for and he felt very much at home for the fourteen months he was here. Since he died, I have been a volunteer and visit weekly. As a former family and as a volunteer, I have always been made to feel welcome and part of the 'team'.
Lister House is always very grateful to all our volunteers. We are always happy to receive new volunteers, just pop in and see.

I am so pleased about the care and support my relative is given. The staff go above and beyond to not only nurse and support him but become his family in my absence. During covid lockdowns, we were updated on visiting and protecting the residents. Phoned weekly by staff with updates. Newsletters emailed show the activities for the month which hopefully families can soon join in. Now we can visit wearing masks mindful of flu etc, not just covid. I am involved in decisions regarding my relative and well-being and my views are listened to. I highly recommend Lister House.
Thank you for your kind words. Here at Lister House, we pride ourselves on being one large family. We will continue to send out monthly bulletins to our families, as this highlights what activities we have going on within the home. Please feel free to join in at any time. Coffee and tea are always available.

This month my wife will have been in the nursing home for 3 years, after severe operations for a rare case of infection on the brain resulting in 2 operations to remove the infected part, It's been a difficult time to recover to the level she is at now thanks to the excellent nursing including the testing and help to get the increase in her condition. We're not there yet but, we, my family, me and all the staff have worked hard to get her to this much-improved state.

Dad passed away on 24/12/18. My Lister House family were wonderful both to dad and myself. Nowhere can compare to Lister House.

Lister House cares for my 96 year old uncle on residential status, and formerly cared for his wife (who had advanced dementia) on nursing status, till her recent death. In all the time spent there my Uncle has had only praise for the quality, comprehensiveness and professionalism of every aspect of their provision. In all our visits, which are never announced, my wife and I have never found anything wanting in their provision of either level of care. Lister House is part of the British Legion charity and direct comparison with commercial care provision, of which we also have experience, is difficult. Given that, this establishment truly offers the gold standard of care and I cannot imagine anywhere else could be better.
We rate most services according to how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led they are, using four levels:

I began working in care at the age of 17 as a Nursing Assistant in a rather large Victorian hospital in Middlesbrough. At the age of 24, I successfully completed training as a qualified nurse. During the following years, I progressed from Staff Nurse to Charge Nurse, Community Nurse, and spent several years working with the Armed Forces in the Middle East as a Nurse. I then returned to England and worked for a national social care group as a Clinical Lead, managing an early-onset dementia unit. This later progressed to an Associate Manager role and finally became a Registered Care Home Manager.The residents, their families, and the staff are extremely well supported, the levels of staffing and support far surpass the levels that I had become accustomed to working within the commercial sector of care.

I joined the Royal British Legion at Lister House as Senior Nurse, I was then successful in gaining the post of Deputy Manager. This is an exciting role as I have direct oversight of the Nursing and Dementia Care. As there are two Deputy Managers at Lister House, I have the opportunity to spend time with our residents and families, ensuring that the care provided is person-centred and dovetailed to the needs of the individual.
