Mum joined the Lonsdale family in January this year. It was the hardest decision my sister and I had to make, but know it was the right decision.


The team at Lonsdale are fantastic, they are so caring with a great sense of humour. They are all so supportive and encouraging. They listen to our requests

and do what they can to meet them.


It is so refreshing to be able to visit mum regularly, taking her out and spending time with her in her room, which is so important. Lonsdale has a sensible and practical approach with regards to wretched Covid, something which is paramount to us.


The activities available to the residents are brilliant and so much effort is put into organising various events. The latest being mum dancing with the wonderful Team Leader allowing her to move and enjoy music which is such a passion for her. She still has rhythm, mum was a ballet dancer.


Thank you to all the team you are doing a great job.

Our mum was cared for at Lonsdale Mews for only a few weeks at the end of her life. With advanced dementia, she had been cared for by my sister for many years and we were nervous about the transition. From the outset, she was treated with care, dignity and respect. The family were included despite Covid-19
restrictions, which were sensitively and sensibly applied. Professional assessments were arranged quickly and appropriate support was provided. It is fair to say that significant care was needed and cheerfully given. When it became clear that our mum was in the terminal phase of life, the staff were hugely supportive of our large family, enabling her to have open visiting 24-hours a day for the last week of her life. This was provided without compromising the safety of other residents. This gave us immeasurable comfort and we are very grateful to all the staff, who were without exception, warm and welcoming. In such a short time, the staff understood our mum's needs and treated her beautifully.

My parents have just returned home after a two week respite stay at Lonsdale Mews. They have absolutely loved their stay and have come home reinvigorated.
From my first contact with the home, I have been impressed with the care and compassion shown to residents and also to family members.
I wouldn't
hesitate to book them in again, the staff have been amazing and the Lonsdale Mews really is a home.

My father had a shorter than expected stay at Lonsdale Mews after losing his battle with terminal cancer. We had to make the very difficult decision to put him in a care home so he could receive the professional care we could no longer provide for him at home. We were so fortunate to have this wonderful
facility on our doorstep where we could easily visit dad and build up relationships with the staff. This is the homes greatest asset. The caring, professional and dedicated staff who from the moment I first picked up the phone to the end of life care could not have been more understanding. There were open lines of communication and our wishes were listened to and acted upon. I cannot thank everyone in the team enough, for all they have done for us as a family.

My dear Dad, aged 91, came to Lonsdale Mews in September 21 originally for respite but loved it so much that decided after the first week, that he very much wanted to stay, to which our family agreed. He had struggled in his own house for his final year, even with an excellent Live-in Carer, due to
increasing dementia and mobility problems. He evidently found it a huge relief to be living in a home where his every need was catered for. Things he particularly valued were the delicious food and the social interaction - the excellent care staff and management all showed him genuine kindness, making him feel valued again.


Sadly his health deteriorated in November, due to his Alzheimers and he died after a short illness. However, the staff made every possible effort to make his passing as easy as possible for him and our family, even providing meals for us all and a bed for two nights in the room next door to his, for his granddaughter who had travelled 200 miles.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I first visited Lonsdale with my dear dad just before it opened - we were looking for a special home for both mum who has dementia and dad. Dad was very particular and was immediately impressed with the professionalism and welcome we received from the Customer Relations Manager. Sadly dad passed away
earlier this year and mum's dementia has gradually got worse.


Mum has had 3 respite stays at Lonsdale the latest in December when she stayed for 3 weeks. This latest respite has been particularly wonderful - mum felt she was coming home and had such a warm welcome - which immediately put my sister and I at ease - it is so hard to have to make the decision to put your beloved parents into care. Mum has really enjoyed herself - she took part in numerous activities and having sung in choirs for most of her life the carol practise was a real highlight for her. Mum has made friends and enjoyed the first trip out in the new Lonsdale minibus. Mum commented on how lovely and kind all her carers were -Thank you all at Lonsdale!

My mum has just spent two weeks respite at Lonsdale Mews and had a very good time. The care she received was excellent, she also enjoyed the food and activities on offer to residents. The home handled the difficult situation with visiting due to Covid impressively allowing my mum to enjoy many visitors.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It is never an easy decision to look at alternatives for a parent, especially when your mum is incredibly proud and independent like my mum is. We needed a period of respite care and so we looked extensively at all the options, including all the local care homes and having live in carers. As mum has
dementia, we thought it would be better for her own wellbeing to have lots of different people to talk to and the mental stimulation of various activities. When we visited Lonsdale Mews, we immediately knew that there was only going to be a choice of just one. It wasn't just the layout, the wonderful food, and homely feel of the rooms that made the decision easy for us, it was the friendliness, the warm welcome, and the genuine care and understanding of all the staff. Everyone was simply amazing, patient, compassionate, and always with a huge smile. I would not hesitate to recommend Lonsdale and, most importantly, mum loved her stay. Thank you to each and every one of the team.

My father has Alzheimer’s and he moved to Lonsdale Mews at the end of July 2021. I have been really impressed so far. There seem to be three members of staff who look after my dad. They have all gone that extra mile to help him settle in. When there have been medical issues with my dad, experts have
been called in quickly to resolve the problem. I recently went to an event and the thing that impressed me the most was that all the staff were welcoming and some had even come into work on their day off. The thing I liked the best was that they all seemed to like each other and the residents.

Lonsdale Mews is a very well designed, beautifully furnished and comfortable home with lovely gardens, but it’s the people that make it such a welcoming and caring place. From our initial enquiry in May about a place for our mum, everyone has been so understanding, patient and helpful, managing Mum’s
move quickly and with great kindness and consideration.
Every single member of staff we have met is cheerful and welcoming, nothing ever seems too much trouble, despite Covid restrictions every visit is well managed and relaxed and there seems no end to the creativity and inventiveness of the staff in organising activities and events. Independently of the family’s experience as visitors, Mum tells us that the staff, and the food, are wonderful.
To celebrate Mum’s birthday the staff went more than the extra mile, giving the family a wonderful time with mum with decorations, lunch, a fabulous birthday cake - and a ‘Birthday Girl’ rosette for her as well!!

Our Mum was a resident at Lonsdale Mews recently for a short period of time.
During that time she thoroughly enjoyed her stay. She was treated in a very dignified and respectful manner by all the staff in Swithland Suite.
With no exception, the staff on the suite were truly a band of angels! Never
was anything too much trouble or inconvenient, they were extremely conscientious, meticulous, respectful and thoughtful in the care they gave to her.
I can wholeheartedly and honestly say that I have never experienced a care home with such high standards as Lonsdale Mews in Quorn, I would recommend it (and already have) to anyone considering long term care for their loved ones.

An exceptionally well presented home full of the most dedicated and caring staff you could ever wish to meet.
Everyone has a smile and everyone has time, for residents and visitors alike; nothing is ever an issue or "too much"
Consideration, care, compassion and respect, to not only your loved one's
but also to their family and friends.
To everyone at Lonsdale Mews, you have our heartfelt thanks.

My mum came to Lonsdale Mews with vascular dementia sadly only 2 months after losing my dad with Covid. It was a difficult decision to move her to full-time care after such a traumatic time, but the staff have been wonderful in welcoming her in and helping her transition. She has been so wonderfully
treated by staff that so obviously care. She was understandably anxious and worried when she first arrived, nevertheless, as a result of the kindness and understanding shown by the staff, it is a joy to see the progress that has been made with her mental state. The whole staff always have time to talk and explain to the family everything that is happening in the home. We regularly receive photos and updates of Mum at the regular parties and activities she joins in. Despite the Covid restrictions limiting access I have nothing but praise for the superb care and consideration given to Mum and to our whole family, it has been wonderful. Thank you all.

My mother has only moved in recently. She has Alzheimer's dementia and was recovering from hip surgery after a fall. She has been made to feel welcome and has been treated with respect and with utmost care. Her room is most comfortable and we were delighted to be able to personalise it for her. The
staff are all very kind and helpful and we have been kept up to date with my mother's progress in terms of mobility, as well as being sent photographs of her taking part in birthday celebrations and activities. Visits are efficiently arranged and are Covid compliant. All in all, we are 100% satisfied with her care.

My mum has had dementia for 8 years and over this time she has deteriorated, but especially over the last 12 months, during lockdown. From the moment I telephoned with my enquiry at Lonsdale Mews, I was given time to talk about my mum and the staff have been helped me, every step of the way. They have
been so kind, sensitive and helped me through this difficult time. Having taken the decision for Mum to live at Lonsdale Mews, she has settled in incredibly well, in fact, I shouldn't have worried at all. Mum absolutely loves the staff, she says they are so kind and can't do enough for you. She goes into the hair salon each day to have her hair curled, which she loves, they have activities each day, but most of all, Mum has made some lovely friends. They have put the sparkle back into her eyes and she says she is so lucky to live in such a wonderful home. She has learnt how to laugh and smile again, which is fantastic and all thanks to Lonsdale Mews. Thank you so much.

The staff have been very helpful, friendly and welcoming. During this last month, they have been very organised in arranging visits via a pod, so that I can once again see my aunt. My aunt always seems happy to see us and seems to get on very well with her carers. They are very attentive to her needs.
Although near a main road it is always quiet and relaxing in the gardens. The rooms are kept nice and clean and many have different themes going on to make you feel relax.

My mum moved to Lonsdale from another care home nearby recently and all I can say is that she has put on weight (after consistently losing weight at previous care home) and now looks like the Mum we love and know. She has daily activities which are evidenced on the website and I no longer feel like
she has been “put away” rather that she is now getting the bespoke care she deserves and needs. Well done Lonsdale and keep up the excellent service you provide.

Lonsdale Mew has been our saving grace. After seeing my nan decline rapidly (physically and mentally) in her previous care home the decision to move Nan to Lonsdale Mews has been nothing but successful. My nan is looking like Nan again, gaining weight and back to looking like our glam nan. Working full
time and not being able to see Nan due to C19 has been difficult however, the pods have been an absolute godsend. The staff have been welcoming and friendly and Nan appears to love it here.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.973)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.973) out of 10 for Lonsdale Mews is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 81 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 81 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 4.973 for Lonsdale Mews is calculated as follows: ( (943 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 968 Ratings = 4.973
  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 Lonsdale Mews is based on 81 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 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8, which has been reached with 81 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.
