My husband has been a resident at Lavender Hills for eleven months. He went in when he was quite fragile, he now is stronger and fitter. The staff have been excellent and caring to me and my husband. I feel like I am part of a family, always get a lovely greeting from the staff and other residents.
The staff have kept me fully informed of any little problems, and dealt with them accordingly. I can't tell you how grateful I am for the kindness and care they give my husband. Many thanks for everything.

My partner was a resident at Lavender Hills Care Home for about five months before he passed away, sadly, in March 2023.
However the care given by all the staff at the home was very good and I was made to feel welcome when I visited. The food was well cooked and quite imaginative as well as cakes being
specially cooked for birthdays.
Activities were also a feature and one particular occasion was a special meal prepared for Valentine's Day. Apart from a lovely meal the room was beautifully decorated for the occasion.
I would highly recommend the care home.

My mum was a resident at Lavender Hills for 10 months. All the staff went the extra mile to ensure that mum received the best possible personalised care and made the whole family feel welcome and included, such as involvement in trips out and care planning. I'm very grateful for their support and excellent
care.

Mum arrived at Lavender Hills in August 2021 having had a serious stroke which made it impossible to have any movement on her left side. She was extremely well cared for from the beginning with many of the staff going out of their way to meet her fairly complex needs. We could not have asked for better
care, especially during her final days.

Unfortunately, after being at Lavender Hills since June 2022 my mother passed away on the 15th of January. We, as a family, would highly recommend anyone who is in the unfortunate situation of having to find a stable, caring home for their loved ones to look at Lavender Hills. Every single member of
staff from the manager down to the cleaners are exceptionally caring and compassionate. Nothing has been too much trouble and mum couldn't have been looked after better in her final hours. Thank you team Lavender Hills, from the bottom of my heart.

I would just like to express how much we enjoyed the Mother’s Day afternoon tea the staff prepared for residents and family. It was a lovely experience to share with mum sat all together at beautifully laid tables and be served an excellent afternoon tea which would have done any restaurant proud! The
staff went above and beyond to serve everyone and make it a very special occasion-well done Lavender Hills!

Our Mother has now been at Lavender Hills for over two years and we have seen continuing changes and improvements to the facilities within the building itself and its handling of Lockdown during Covid. She has been looked after very well throughout and our few concerns dealt with promptly.
She now
feels it is her home and is happy there, especially when there are visiting singers and other entertainers, enjoying every minute. The staff all know her, enjoy her smile, and are willing to help her in whatever way they can.
She has recently been taken swimming and enjoyed that immensely, as the video/photo's showed, although we were more than a bit apprehensive before she went! The Activities Team do their best to involve the residents in activities that they will enjoy and tailor these to accommodate each resident dependant upon their various interests and how they interact.
The kitchen provides an excellent choice of menu, but will also make alternatives if required.
Well Done.

Review from Jo L (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 June 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As many families do, we tried to keep dad in his own home for as long as possible, with the support of Agency Staff, following his dementia diagnosis. Eventually, however, we had to accept that residential care was his next step.


I did months of research, speaking to several Homes in the Bury area

(where dad lived) as well as Hampshire, (where I live). - Lavender Hills kept coming out on top.


Dad moved into Lavender Hills in March 2022 and I can honestly say we’ve been blown away by how caring and friendly all of the staff have been towards Dad, his family and his friends. His room is spacious and bright with a fantastic view, but above all, clean. The food is healthy, varied and extremely appetising. Dad is kept busy and engaged. He absolutely loves his regular outings to the park, and swimming pool, as well as the pub lunches and evening entertainment.


Dad is now safe and cared for, but above all, he is still living a good life.


I cannot recommend Lavender Hills highly enough.

My mum has called Lavender Hills home for just over a year. We made the very difficult decision to try their respite offer as she was distressed and agitated in her own home. It has been a year of working together and we have had some challenges along the way.
But I can honestly say the transformation
has been astonishing.
She is happy and content. The staff have been outstanding and the care and attention they provide is just brilliant!
We attended the home’s Mother’s Day afternoon tea at the weekend. I can honestly say we were so full of admiration for everyone involved. We had the perfect afternoon with our mum. A very special carer spent extra time and effort getting mum ready, she looked beautiful.
Lavender Hills is mums home now and that’s exactly how it feels.

I can honestly say this place is amazing.. never did I think I’d find a care home for my dad that’s like home from home… they do lots of activities on a daily basis… the staff are immense, very approachable and the carers go above and beyond their duties. Highly recommend it and I never have to worry
about my dad especially at night time, I know he’s safe and cared for. On the plus side, the food is on another level, their own chef. Dad has gained weight with all the delicious meals.

Lavender Hill. Where do I start? The staff are kind, caring, compassionate, and professional. Looking after my Father in Law during a very difficult time, we couldn’t have asked for more. These people became part of our extended family and we will never be able to thank them enough for caring for Dad
(and us) with such dignity and respect. I have already recommended Lavender Hill to others and would have no question in my mind as to where to go if/when we need help in the future.10/10 from us and I’d give more if I could. Thank you to you all.

My husband has been in Lavender Hills for two years now. He has a strange dementia which needs to be controlled with strong drugs. He does not forget the past, he forgets very recent events and gets very confused about time and days of the week. All the staff are very good with him, and very patient.
He is 64 on the 16th of June and we have a daughter who is getting married next February. The manager took him for a ride today to see the hotel our daughter is getting married in. She is also bringing him to the wedding, and she took him out in her car when lockdown lifted because he just wanted to see what had changed in the local area.

Mum has been a resident of Lavender Hills for a few years now. I have always felt that the staff know Mum well and that she is part of a 'family' atmosphere. She has received excellent care, especially recently when the home was closed to visitors at the height of the pandemic. Coming back in to see
Mum after restrictions have been lifted slightly, I have been made to feel very welcome but also know that strict procedures are in place to keep everyone (residents, staff and visitors) safe. My mum is treated with dignity and respect and I would recommend Lavender Hills as an excellent home.

After eventually testing negative to Covid19, Mum was discharged from hospital to Lavender Hills in Ramsbottom. From the word "go", Mum has been well looked after by the staff. Nothing is too much trouble. I have been informed of everything that involves Mum - from the first Covid injection, an eyesight
test in the home, to having her hair done. The surrounding views from the home are lovely. Even the drive up to the home from the road has attractions - the bird table for one has many different kinds of birds to-ing and fro-ing from it. Finally, the safe visiting in the specially made lodge there was an absolute gem of an idea! After not seeing Mum for many weeks, being able to see her and talk to her in comfort, without having to wear a mask or shout was absolutely wonderful. Well done Lavender Hills!

All staff know Dad when I call and can update me. They are kind and caring to him. They treat him with dignity and respect. He has a good routine to his day. Despite the lockdown I can see and speak with him regularly. Dad says the food is 'champion' which is a good sign and reassures me. The staff
take time to talk with Dad. It’s a great place.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.880)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.880) out of 10 for Lavender Hills Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 42 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 42 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.880 for Lavender Hills Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (441 Excellents x 5) + (56 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 499 Ratings = 4.88
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Lavender Hills Care Home is based on 42 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9, which has been reached with 42 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
