Thank you so much for your outstanding review. We are so happy your mum has settled into the home and is happy which in turn gives you peace of mind that she is being well cared for.
My auntie always had a great experience at Lancaster Court Care Home, the staff and nurses couldn't be more supportive and helpful. The home itself is beautifully kept and comfortable. I would recommend it highly as a permanent residence of a respite and stay.

A particular staff member gave me excellent support and care, another staff member was wonderful too and of course another two particular members of staff were also excellent. Thank you all very much.
Thank you so much for your review of our home. It was an absolute pleasure to look after your loved one (a true gentleman) we are so pleased you found the care given to both of you excellent. We always try to help wherever we can.
So caring in such a difficult time, my mother struggled in the end, her last few weeks were made easier by the way the care home looked after her, and they were very sympatric with us as a family.

We, as a family, were extremely happy with the care my mum received. When she first went into the home until such time as she went to the upper level due to her ill health.

We, as a family, were extremely happy with the care my mum received. When she first went into the home until such time as she went to the upper level due to her ill health. They always notified me if Mum had a bump. She has her hair done weekly, and a chiropodist tends her feet on a regular basis and the carers also took time to paint Mum's fingernails. The nursing staff were excellent. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your review; I'm so pleased you and mum had a great experience here at Lancaster Court. We always try our best to make every day happy and bright.
Cannot say thank you enough to the manager and his team for the way that they handled my father's care. All the staff are very friendly and very helpful. Cannot recommend this place enough, if you have a relative in palliative care. They handled the continuous care application and went the extra...
The place was very clean. Food was of a standard you would expect and the laundry service had things back in his cupboard within a few hours, which was amazing.

My wife has been a resident for just over a year. During this time the staff have been brilliant ensuring that her dignity is maintained at all times. They all have time for her and go the extra mile to ensure her stay is as comfortable. The family are very happy with her care and are particularly...
Would I recommend the home to someone looking for a place for a loved one - unreservedly yes.
I'm just amazed that CQC haven't rated Lancaster Court as outstanding.

All of the staff are very friendly and caring and do a wonderful job. My dad loves having conversations and a laugh and a joke with them. He is even happier now that there are regular activities and entertainment. And he is looking forward to going out on another excursion as he enjoyed the first one so much.

With over 20 years of dedicated experience in the health and social care sector, I have built a deep commitment to enhancing the lives of others through compassionate, person-centred care. I believe that true quality care goes beyond meeting physical needs alone; it must also nurture each individual's emotional, social, and spiritual well-being.
I have obtained many qualifications, including a Level 5 diploma in leadership and management; a Level 3 Dementia Diploma; Level 3 Medication administration; Level 2 counselling Diploma; Level 2 Diabetes Diploma; Mental Health first aid; IOSH training; Moving and Repositioning key trainer; and an Assessors Diploma.
My hobbies are hosting dinner parties, potting plants, and reading different genres of books. On the odd occasion, I enjoy a bit of an adrenaline rush by going off-roading in Wales, air ballooning and or clay pigeon shooting. I have a love of Music and believe it evokes memories, such as music for the mind does.
