Dad (age 96) moved into this home in September and has found the staff caring, respectful and thoughtful. We were able to sort out the few initial problems, mainly to do with changes in medication, with little difficulty. We've been able to take some of his furniture and possessions, and a booster unit has been installed to give him a connection to the internet. Dad is reassured to be in a place where he has assistance when needed and it has put our minds at rest as well.
Wonderful friendly carers. Food excellent. Caring, lovely people and efficient.
Couldn't be happier with our choice for my husband.

Mum settled into Lancaster Court very quickly after a short stay in hospital in early 2016. The staff are very welcoming, caring and friendly and treated Mum extremely well. Her nursing needs were well catered for, to the extent that she has recovered to the point where she has now transferred from the nursing floor to the residential floor. She enjoys a laugh and joke with all the staff which helps with the friendliness of the home.

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.
