My mum has been here for many years. The staff are absolutely 100% committed to their job and are so friendly and caring. Could not recommend the Lawns highly enough. Keep up the excellent work. Thank you.

I cannot praise the care and set up at The Lawns highly enough. My 93-year-old mother has literally had a new lease of life having been lucky enough to move there. Nothing is too much trouble for the lovely staff, and all her needs are taken care of with kindness and dignity. It is wonderful that she
is happy again.

Mum recently moved to The Lawns, the staff have been welcoming since day one. Mum has a new lease of life enjoying the activities and mixing with other residents. She has her lunch cooked daily. It is such a relief to her family knowing she is being looked after so well.

Review from A H (Grandson of Resident) published on 1 May 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The Lawns is always a friendly, happy, clean, safe and welcoming environment. One of the best homes in Great Yarmouth and Gorleston. All staff are all of a high calibre and serve to do their best for the residents. This is the perfect place for my Grandad to live in. It would be nice to see the staff's
hard work recognised more though. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Lawns. I would like to suggest that hall lights are turned off in the day as this is a waste of electricity and for the radiators to be able to be turned off in the summer as temperatures are unbearable!
Reply from Richard Smith, Marketing Manager at The Lawns

Thank you for your kind and supportive comments about the care and support your Grandad is receiving at The Lawns. We will pass on your comments about the lights and radiators to the landlords of the scheme.

Review from Patricia C (Sister of Resident) published on 11 March 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since my brother moved into The Lawns last year he is happy and more confident. He mixes with the residents for lovely dinners and activities which also has helped with his mobility. The flats are lovely, well equipped with a fabulous wet room which enables him to shower himself which he could not do
before. Knowing he is being cared for 24 hours a day and so well is such a relief for myself and the family. I cannot praise the Manager and staff enough; they are so caring and nothing is too much trouble.

My brother moved into The Lawns last year and it has given him a new lease of life. He is so much happier the difference is amazing. It's lovely to hear him laugh again. The individual living arrangements enable residents to have privacy when they wish. There are regular activities. The Lawns arrange
prescriptions and dispense medications. My brother enjoys the meals and is thriving on the regular assistance received from cheerful staff. The manager should be highly praised for the way this home is managed.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The concept of The Lawns is brilliant. It provides facilities for independence, semi independence and full care. It is well maintained and a welcoming environment. The staff are professional but friendly and relaxed with residents and visitors. There are always activities going on both indoors and outdoors.
The garden with its colourful planters is charming. The residents always look happy and involved, saying hello to visitors and waving to each other. Importantly the staff are local and often know where the residents have lived and can share past experiences.

This care home is the best I have stayed in or visited. The management and staff are first class. The home is a 'home from home' - having your own furniture makes it that.
The activities are the best but lacking support from some of the residents mainly from lack of mobility.

We're very pleased and flattered by your comments about The Lawns - thank you for your feedback.

My mother was admitted in April 2017 and has settled in very well. I cannot praise the staff and facilities highly enough. They are friendly, professional and nothing is too much trouble. The flat my mother has is modern and well equipped for her needs. It is always kept clean and tidy.

The Lawns gives excellent care to its residents there. They are also very caring and have time for all the residents no matter how small the problems, they take their time to talk to the resident and are very patient with them. I am very happy for my mother to be in their care.

We couldn't ask for better care for Mum. The staff are caring and treat her with respect and dignity. The staff come asap if Mum needs help.
The dinners are excellent and there are always activities going on. The cleaners do their job excellently as do the laundry ladies.
Couldn't wish for a better
place for Mum to live.
Thank you!

My Mum and Dad have been in The Lawns for two years now. I am truly grateful for the kindness and caring they get. They are well looked after, washed every day, clean clothes on. If they are wet they change them straight away. No food is better, a wide choice to choose. So lucky they are in there as
looked after so well and so kind to every person in there. I go every day to see them and someone is always around if you need them. It's like one big family, so clean and kind. I could not wish for anything more. A beautiful and loving caring place to be in. Thank you The Lawns.

Mum arrived here is January after 12 weeks of respite. She was in a dreadful state.
We feared her dementia had taken her away from us. Within 2 weeks, we had her back. this was due to the amazing staff and facilities here. Everyone from cleaner to management shows such kindness and patience, mum is
blossoming. The activities are well suited and appropriate. Mum is so busy the whole family can now relax and spend quality time with her.
A huge thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.944)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.944) out of 10 for The Lawns is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Extra Care Housing 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 4.944 for The Lawns is calculated as follows: ( (68 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.944

    5 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months: 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.5 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews. (1st = 3, 2nd = 0.5, 3rd = 0.5, 4th = 0.5, 5th = 0.5)

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for The Lawns is based on 6 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.5 = 5
  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 Extra Care Housing does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
