My mother has been at Lethen Park for sixteen months and although it has taken a while for her to settle, I see a peacefulness that never existed when she was in her own home. Ideally, there should be more staff to give each service user the help they need, simple things like being taken to the toilet when they ask, without having to wait until there is enough staff to do so. More activities and stimulation would be a real benefit as would outings.
Overall my aunt is happy in Lethen Park, the staff are all lovely to her, even when they are extremely busy with residents who require a lot more care. She told me today (Sat 21/10/17) that is was the best ever afternoon she has had since moving to the home, the new activities leader has some...
Overall my aunt is happy in Lethen Park, the staff are all lovely to her, even when they are extremely busy with residents who require a lot more care. She told me today (Sat 21/10/17) that is was the best ever afternoon she has had since moving to the home, the new activities leader has some excellent and fresh ideas to involve them in and she appreciates it all. Relatives and residents are made to feel very welcome to join in the activities, she is there for us, as well as residents, very welcoming, we know when we are not there she is occupied and joining in some activity. Overall we are happy with the home, the downside is the turnover of staff, hopefully, that might settle down soon, as they are a great team.

My father's needs are always taken care of with care and dignity. Staff make me feel welcome when I visit.
Thank you on behalf of myself and staff for this lovely review. We try to make the transition into care as easy as possible for our new resident and family members.
The staff work extremely hard, it's not an easy job. The furnishings in the rooms are very basic considering it costs my mother £1500 a week. The armchairs in the common room are fabric which is a bad idea because some are urinated on. The staff do wash them (wipe them actually) but I think they...
The staff work extremely hard, it's not an easy job. The furnishings in the rooms are very basic considering it costs my mother £1500 a week. The armchairs in the common room are fabric which is a bad idea because some are urinated on. The staff do wash them (wipe them actually) but I think they should be covered in a waterproof material. New dining tables and chairs in the eating area are ideal.
Staff are always helpful and found management recently, no dealings at all. Could be doing with a more hands on manager like in the past. Home is needing refurbishment.

Thank you so much for your review. I will pass on your comments to the staff. I have just joined the home mid August and hopefully you will see a lot more of me when you are in. Please feel free to come in for a chat and a coffee as my door is always opened.
After having spent six months in a psychiatric hospital, my husband was discharged to Lethen Park in March 2017. The initial impression was one of "calm" after being in an environment of very sick people. Like everywhere else, a nursing home depends on caring staff.

After having spent six months in a psychiatric hospital, my husband was discharged to Lethen Park in March 2017. The initial impression was one of "calm" after being in an environment of very sick people. Like everywhere else, a nursing home depends on caring staff.
For the most part, Lethen Park has very caring staff working in very difficult circumstances. Staffing has been stretched during the holiday period and there are a lot of inexperienced staff under training. The priority for them must be kindness and care - this is far more than a job!!
I am happy most of the time and if I have any problems I express them and they are rectified. The department could do with more space but residents seem content.
Excellent care home. Staff are always friendly, smiling and very helpful. Sometimes I get the impression short staffed especially at weekends though. Mum has settled in well and lots of activities now. Only bad comment I would say is sometimes bathroom not cleaned properly i.e especially the floor...
Food seems good and varied and alternatives offered.
Overall I highly recommend this care home and I think the staff are wonderful that I have met.
They are happy and caring and seem to have a wonderful rapport with residents.

My Mum has been in Barchester Lethen Park Care Home for a few years now and I have had no concerns about her care. The staff are friendly and very capable. My mum settled in right away and was aware of her surroundings before her dementia got too bad. Many of the staff are still there and have been for many years and know my Mum well. I was my Mum's main carer so I know I can visit her and come away knowing she is in good hands. Thank you all so much.

Hi, my name is Patricia, and I am the Deputy Home Manager here at Lethen Park.
I joined Barchester in September 2024, and I have quickly become attached to the home’s warm, family-like atmosphere. The sense of community here is truly special, and I’m very proud of our team.

As part of the management team, I am committed to assisting Annette, the general manager, in providing the highest quality of care, ensuring each resident feels at home and that their families have peace of mind knowing their loved ones are in caring and professional hands.
