Our mother has been at Lancum House for three years. We visit regularly and are always made to feel welcome. As our mother's needs have increased, we have found the care has been increased without us having to request it. The staff are super heroes: warm, friendly, respectful and very person centred to each individual. They sometimes have to deal with unexpected or difficult situations but remain calm and caring. Many of the staff have worked there long term. The home is always clean and safe. We love the layout and the garden. There are lots of well planned activities for residents to join in should they wish, with support and gentle encouragement if needed. We have enjoyed getting to know the staff and other residents and their families during our visits.

Every caregiver I have met has left their worries at the door and has a consistently cheerful disposition even when nearing the end of their 12-hour shift. This shows me that their energy comes from true kindness, compassion and love of caring for the residents. Even when some of the residents with dementia lash out verbally or physically, they are handled firmly but with terms of endearment like 'sweetheart', 'my love', 'my darling' as they calm the resident. A sense of ownership is given to the residents. Once, mum felt peckish at 4.30 am and went to the kitchen where she was given cornflakes! I like that although mum is encouraged to join in activities, she is never forced. When I phone from my residence in Vancouver to get on Messenger with mum, the staff stop their duties and kindly arrange it for me so I feel in constant touch with her. What most assures me that this home is best for mum is the big smile she has for each carer and the fact that she looks 20 years younger.

All the staff at lancum are amazing and really do go above and beyond, my nan has been a resident for nearly 5 years and I wouldn't want her living anywhere else. There is always some sort of activity happening and the famileo app is wonderful, being able to see my nan looking happy and joining in is a beautiful

I have been visiting my friend for two months now, and have been more impressed with every visit. The staff are all very kind, considerate and caring towards their residents, with a warm welcome for visitors also. The home is bright, colourful and most importantly clean and well maintained. The entertainment programme varied and interesting. I am only sorry I missed the Elvis impersonation! It is heartening to see that my dear friend is being so well cared for. Thank you to all the Staff at Lancum House.

My mother has been a resident at Lancum House for two months. From the very first visit to view the home i have really appreciated how friendly, helpful and professional everyone has been. Mum was made to feel very welcome right from the start and is happy to call Lancum her home. Her social interaction has improved immeasurably through her involvement with the many activities organised for the residents. She has enjoyed bingo, gardening, pizza making, cake decorating, morning exercise, choir practice, a pub visit and a variety of singers who have performed at the home and the list goes on. After living at home on her own for so long and no longer driving, moving to Lancum, where she is in a much safer environment, with help when she needs it has given her a new lease of life and she seems much happier for it. I have already recommended Lancum House to friends with elderly parents.

When my mum was diagnosed with dementia, it was one of the hardest times for our family. Finding a place where she would be safe, understood, and genuinely cared for felt overwhelming - until we found this care home. From day one, I knew this was the right place. The staff are incredible. They don't just do their jobs - they treat every resident with dignity, patience, and real kindness. My mum isn't just another name on a care plan; they've taken the time to get to know her, to understand her routines, her moods, and even the little things that make her feel more like herself. The environment is warm and calm, and it feels like a true home. There are always activities going on to keep residents engaged, whether it's music, arts and crafts, or just a supporting her to go in the garden. But most importantly, there's genuine respect and compassion in every interaction. I can't express how much peace of mind this place has given me. I know my mum is safe, well cared for.

A welcoming and clean atmosphere in Lancum House. Hard working, friendly staff across all the job roles. Delicious meals cooked onsite, enjoyed by everyone. Various activities arranged so everyone can take part in whatever they are interested in. The Gazette , published weekly, keeps everyone connected and informed with whatever participation , event or activity. The Dementia Choir is a real winner with residents and everyone else who attends! Everyone has so much fun there and a really good time! My mum continues to be well cared for and loved by everyone at Lancum House, like she has been during the two years she has lived there. I cannot ask for anymore, so "Thank you, to each and everyone at Lancum House"

Mum always looks well cared for. The staff are attentive in their care and give me regular, meaningful and personalised updates on mum's moods, wellbeing, appetite and choices. The love, kindness and compassion I have have experienced here is second to none. I feel blessed that mum is in such good hands. Her smile speaks volumes on how comfortable she feels among good friends here.

5 Stars - Exceptional Care at Lancum House My mum has been at Lancum House for two years, and we couldn't be more grateful. The home is always clean, warm, and welcoming. Staff are not only well-trained but genuinely kind, treating every resident with dignity and compassion. What truly sets it apart is their outstanding dementia care-personalised, engaging activities that have improved my mum's wellbeing and happiness. The staff communicate clearly with families, and there's a real sense of community and care. It's a place where residents are respected, supported, and allowed to thrive. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Lancum House.

My mum is always happy. She is always dressed well, eats very well since being at Lancum House. The staff are always happy, very friendly, caring to residents and family. The care home is clean and very well maintained. The entertainment and exercise sessions that residents receive are exceptional. Regular updates are always given and the gazette that is provided weekly is a vital lifeline which is a helpful and reassuring tool when regular visits are not possible.

Dad was a resident at Lancum for around three years, in that time he was very happy here as were the family with the help support and love he received. The staff are very nice and supportive of both the resident and family alike. There are many daily activities that residents join in with and the weekly journal is a great way of seeing what has been happening, what events are coming up and uploading photographs for the resident to see what has been happening outside of the home. Dad passed recently but we were pleased that he had enjoyed his time with Lancum, the staff and the many new friends he had come to know.
