Reviews for Lawton Manor Care Home

I was recently invited to have a stall at the summer fayre. What a fantastic afternoon! Many residents came outside with relatives to watch entertainment provided by a local dance troupe, look around the stalls and even have their face painted! It all made a great atmosphere aided by the lovely weather. I'm hoping to be invited to the next one. Well done team👏👏👏

Our Aunt lived independently at home with a care package until the pandemic. She spoke to the family and made the decision it was time to look for a care home. I was given the task of looking for somewhere and Lawton Manor was recommended to me by a friend.
From the first telephone call it was very apparent that this would be a lovely home for our Aunt. The staff were very helpful and and reassuring. We had a very safe show around the home.
My Aunt has been resident for a few months now and is very happy and settled. She tells us the food is lovely and that the activities she enjoys very much.
Barchester have kept us up to date by letter with all the changes etc. Thank you to the management and staff for doing a fabulous job, keep up the good work especially during these trying times.

I was booked by Lawton Manor recently, as a professional singer to go & sing some musical theatre songs and 50’s /60’s music. It was the first time I’d visited but the staff all made me feel very welcome. Their passion to keep the residents happy & stimulated was very apparent. The home itself is beautiful… more like a 5* hotel than a care home. I hope to see them all again soon.

It's hard to love a care home given what they are there for but this one is one of the nicest we have seen. My grandad (98!!!) has just gone in there.

It's a countryside location so the views are lovely over fields and there are trees all around with lots of wildlife and birds. There are a few outside areas too.

There is a cinema room, multiple lounges, hairdresser and lots of activities for residents.

The staff are superb, despite being busy they are friendly and helpful and great with the residents there.

My Dad, Bill, aged 95, was admitted to Lawton Manor in March 2024 for palliative end of life care. From day one the team were wonderful and made such an effort to get to know him and us as a family. They encouraged my mum to visit for lunches and made sure both birthdays and their 72nd wedding anniversary was celebrated too. The care has been truly amazing, from the nursing team, care and activities team, laundry, kitchen and everyone-I know Dad felt safe in his final months, which is all we could of asked for. Whilst Dad sadly passed in August, the team made possible some lovely memories in his last 6 months which we wouldn’t have had - so much so we recently returned to celebrate his life for an afternoon tea with friends and family, staff and residents. Thank you everyone.

my mother is currently a resident in this care home- initially only for short term respite but as a family we are so impressed with the standard of care mum is receiving we are delighted that she has this opportunity now to stay long term. The home is beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean . All the rooms are bright and cheerful . There are excellent facilities on site including laundry, multiple and varied activities but most importantly all the staff are exemplary. Each and every staff member treats each resident as an individual and with respect, showing true care and compassion and taking the time and effort to get to know each resident, what their likes and dislikes are, and engaging with the person as they would their own beloved family member. . In a nutshell, the staff are fantastic and I would not wish for mum to be anywhere else

"Each member of staff is excellent, treating each resident with respect, dignity, and genuine compassion. The home is always clean and bright and tastefully decorated. All rooms cheerful and well furnished. Lots of daily activities organised to entertain the varying wishes of the residents, including day trips out and visiting animals. Our family is delighted mum is able to stay long term in such a comfortable home and most importantly to be cared for by these staff."

"My mother has been a resident at Lawton Manor care home for the last nine months until she passed away two weeks ago. Throughout this time she has received a high level of care and love from all staff. Even though she was unable to leave her room due to being bed riddened to attend activities she was never left out as the staff came to read or chat with her frequently she seemed to think of them as friends. Towards the end especially on her last day the staff showed a high level of professionalism to mum and the family. We never left visiting her at Lawton Manor with any worries or concerns about her care which has been outstanding at all times. We appreciated how the staff interacted with us in a very caring manner.. A very big thank you Lawton Manor from the family."

"My first experience with Lawton Manor was when my grandad became unwell and had to move there in March of last year on palliative end of life care. It was an incredibly hard time for our family, but the staff made it so much more bearable. They treated him with such care, dignity, and compassion and they welcomed all of us, especially my nan, with open arms. We were able to be with him often, have meals, and truly feel like we were part of a big, supportive family not just visitors in a care home. When my nan's health began to decline earlier this year, we didn't hesitate to ask for her to be referred to Lawton Manor too for end of life care. The staff remembered her from when she had been there with my grandad, which brought such comfort and familiarity to both of us. Since she moved in, the same kindness, professionalism, and warmth have been ever-present. I feel so reassured knowing she's in such good hands."

"A first-class experience in all respects: for the patient, this meant the care/treatment and interpersonal interaction that could not be improved upon. For family and friends, it meant a welcoming/informative and professional leadership and service which could not be improved upon. For both parties the facilities offered by the establishment go beyond everyday expectations they excel. An establishment to be mighty proud of."

"From our first contact with the staff, we have been very impressed by their obvious care for both residents and family, their high level of emotional intelligence and their commitment to providing the best care. The home itself, both inside and out, looks more like a country hotel than a nursing home. The rooms are clean, the staff friendly and very capable, and the meal menu leaves me giving up all hope that my wife should ever lose any weight – it’s absolutely fabulous. The ethos of the Lawton Manor is exemplified by the General Manager who is herself very professional as a manager, but also a very welcoming and friendly, considerate, caring, hands-on lady. The nurses always seem to be smiling – not an easy achievement – and thoroughly professional. The carers are delightful, always willing to help, and very aware that the personal care that they are giving involves intrusion into my wife’s dignity; they are rightly called carers."

"I cannot speak too highly of the care my mum is receiving. All the staff from the manager, to carers, nurses, cleaners, laundry, maintenance men are so kind and friendly and nothing is ever too much trouble. The chef does his best to accommodate Mums dietary needs, and the food is always very appetising. Mum really enjoyed the day trip to Llandudno on the 6th of September, it was a very special and memorable day for us both, so many thanks to all involved in organising it."

"Lawton Manor has made my mum happy and secure. This last week she has been ill and her care and attention have been marvellous. Her infirmities, acute deafness and very bad sight could isolate her but care has been taken to involve her in activities and conversations. We, the family have always been made welcome."

"It looks like a beautiful home to live in. My friend's room was clean and tidy and her bed and nightdress were changed as a cup of water had leaked. The staff were very helpful."

"My mum passed away in July but her care was really good and they also treated me and my daughter brilliantly during this sad time. When Mum was feeling well the entertainment was good for her. She really enjoyed the quizzes and outings she went on before COVID came about. Mum lost her appetite in the last couple of months but I know the food was very good."
