My mother has been in this home for over one year and I am happy that she is receiving the care and attention that she needs. The home is very clean and all of the staff and carers seem very conscientious in their work. I would have no hesitation in recommending the home to anyone else.

Very happy with staff, they are very caring and genuine with residents. We feel happy having my father here in safe and caring hands. Activities are fantastic, they are always on thanks to the activities leader. Nothing is too much trouble. Wouldn't want to have father anywhere else.

My mam has perked up a lot since coming in here, she gets on well with everyone and all the staff are brilliant. She eats 3 good meals a day and staff check on her a lot throughout the day and when they can sit with her just to keep her company. I would recommend The Laurels 100%.

Mam is very happy at The Laurels. She receives very good care and we have good relationships with all carers. The food is excellent and varied. There is a very good activities programme and all residents enjoy the variety of activities on offer. All social events are well supported by relatives and all staff at The Laurels. Some staff give up their own personal time to be involved in activities/events with residents. Overall, I would have no hesitation in recommending The Laurels to anyone looking for good quality care and support for their relatives.
I need never have worried about my mother coming to live in a residential home. She is so well looked after, good meals, a lovely room, and plenty of entertainment and activities. The staff are all brilliant and make her feel safe and that is priceless!

In my opinion the care home is lovely, the residents are wonderfully cared for by all the staff. All of whom are so approachable and nothing seems to much trouble to them. I am very impressed by all of the activities and events that take place within the home. The residents always seem happy as I enter the home. It's a lovely, homely and friendly atmosphere. This gives me great peace of mind, knowing my special friend is being well cared for and is safe. The home is always kept lovely and clean.
My mam came into this home because she was no longer safe to be on her own. It was a huge decision and very stressful. I came to have a look at the care home and from coming in the door- the feeling was good - home with no smell! (very important!) I knew it was the right place for mam but had to...
My mam came into this home because she was no longer safe to be on her own. It was a huge decision and very stressful. I came to have a look at the care home and from coming in the door- the feeling was good - home with no smell! (very important!) I knew it was the right place for mam but had to get the family to decide for themselves as it was a joint decision. From mam arriving 23/12/16 The Laurels have only her best interests at heart. Any problem she has had mainly, trying to be independent, have been looked at and solutions given. All of the staff in The Laurels are lovely and obviously put the residents first! Not once have I heard a resident being shouted at or spoken to in an appropriate manner. Everyone just seems to have the residents best interests at heart- I now don't worry about my mam too much as I know she is getting the best appropriate care for her needs. I just want to say a huge "Thank you" to The Laurels staff, they should be proud!

Emma is a qualified registered general nurse with over 21 years of experience. First working in the NHS and climbing her way to up to becoming a senior critical care nurse for 16 years. Emma’s career has continued to progress, with a focus on the social care sector, Emma has gone from clinical lead to deputy manager and now Home Manager.
When she is not caring for residents, family-oriented Emma takes pleasure in spending time with her husband and daughter and the rest of their family and friends.
Outside of work, Emma considers one of her biggest achievements to be raising her daughter, who she takes immense pride in.
Some words of encouragement from Emma for someone looking for the right care home would be to look for passionate staff who provide the best possible care and are proud of the home they work in.Deeply caring, Emma enjoys seeing happy residents in a homely environment away from the clinical settings she had previously been used to.
For those considering care as a career, Emma advises to treat the residents in your care as family and to offer compassion, patience and hard work.
