Review from J H (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 May 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Today I spoke with the manager about a few issues and found her to be very approachable and friendly. She answered all my queries satisfactorily. One of my concerns was the scaffolding in particular around the courtyard, meaning no access for several months, whilst the weather is good. I was reassured this area will be completed first to allow residents access as soon as possible.

Overall Experience
LC is a beautiful care home where Mum was cared for.
The only flaw was being falsely told that LC would accept adult social care funding but in reality, it was not. Mum would have still been there otherwise, along with the friends that she had made.

I cannot fault the care and attention Mum had.

My mother is so well looked after. She is very happy and really likes the food. Her room is so nice and looks out onto the courtyard.

It makes me feel so pleased to know I don't have to worry about her anymore. I can visit anytime and I'm made welcome. I was so worried when she lived alone and was so ill. Her health has really improvied. Thank you all.

Overall Experience

My husband moved from a previous care home to Lavender Court on 11th June he died there on 23rd July. The premises were always spotless and the staff were most considerate. If I have a complaint it is that there is not sufficient staff. When my husband was critically ill it did seem an age for help to arrive. Remembering those weeks he was there I recall, his room was facing properties on Roman Road and often we had to close the curtains and put the lights on as we were overlooked by people opposite.

Overall Experience

My husband has been a resident since May 2020. He was very poorly and had three nurses each day who were helping me to care for him when I became ill. Because of the excellent care he has received, he is still alive. We were told in April he would not survive! My only frustration are the awful communications. Not able to get through on the telephone, unreliable social media connections and no updates on medical issues. Also no record of his pocket money status and when he needed a top-up until recently.

Review from K H (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 June 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My father has dementia he struggles with change, new faces etc. We had to put him into Lavender Court to provide respite for my mother who has lung cancer. The team at Lavender Court are incredible and has really made dad welcome. Everyone we have had contact with from the lady in finance to the day and night staff they have all been so supportive and helped make what is a really difficult time for our family much easier. To know dad is safe and well looked after and happy makes such a difference.

Review from C K (Friend of Resident) published on 22 May 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I was a bit apprehensive about the standard of care in Lavender Court purely due to so much bad press about rogue care homes. I found all members of staff kind, helpful, respectful and knowledgeable. My friend has just passed away this morning. She had a small close family but died with the loving company of a carer and one of your nurses. I spent a night with you and was well looked after. The carers have such good humoured and loving motivation. I would be happy to recommend your care home to anyone.

My husband has been in the Rose room for three weeks. He is full of praise for his carers, who he calls the blue angels. They are infinitely patient and very caring and always treat them with dignity. They always treat me with the utmost kindness. I have become very fond of them all.

Review from S B (Son of Resident) published on 28 October 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I am extremely dissatisfied with the management and leadership at Lavender Court who have presided over a terrible experience for my Mother and her relatives. Examples include 1. Staff locking themselves in the nurse's office to avoid patients and relatives seeking help and advice. 2. Under resourcing at weekends resulting in the 30min checks decided as necessary by medical staff not being followed (no checks being recorded on two separate Saturdays). 3. Clothes regularly go missing despite being labelled. 4. My letter of complaint issued in July still remains unanswered. 5. Payment of invoices are being chased that have not been issued. 6. Mum's granddaughter being pressed into giving personal care by a carer as he had no colleague available to assist. The list goes on. Fortunately, my Mum has now been moved to a setting where there are adequate staff to care for her and the seniors show true leadership.

Review from R K (Grandson of Resident) published on 15 September 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Lavender Court is a wonderful home with staff who always act with the utmost kindness, professionalism and integrity. My grandmother was a patient in the dementia unit for the last two years of her life, having battled with dementia for several years before passing away. My grandmother had severe issues with her sleep at night, and the staff often made her a cup of tea or milk with biscuits to settle her until she became tired enough to sleep. During the pandemic, management took every measure to keep residents safe while maintaining contact with one or two primary contacts. All other family members were able to make appointments to speak to grandma over Skype. The diligence and kindness of the staff at Lavender Court never went unnoticed, particularly her care team and so many other fantastic caring staff. They looked after my grandmother perfectly right up until her final moments, and I cannot fault the home in any way. I would highly recommend it.

Lavender has a dedicated, caring and happy team who thrive on their dedication to their job roles and to care for our residents. We have a very friendly environment and do our best to always make you feel welcome.

Lavender Court has a lovely open courtyard area, which can be used at any time by residents, along with other outside garden areas, and we enjoy hosting some brilliant events in this space. The home is situated next door to a Lidl and very close to pubs, takeaways and Taunton town centre – our residents and their relatives make good use of these facilities.

We have a team of four activity coordinators who are so enthusiastic about ensuring we have lots of activities available at Lavender Court, along with outsourced entertainers and theatre productions. We also try and accommodate as many outings as possible to garden centres, cafes, going into town, walks around Hamilton Park and going to events such as the Taunton Flower Show.

I feel very proud and grateful to be the Manager of Lavender Court.
