Reviews for Lawton Rise Care Home

Mum has been in Lawton Rise for almost 5 years, and I couldn't wish for better care for her. Every member of staff I've met has been friendly and helpful. I'm always quick to sing the praises of the truly caring staff to family and friends. I won't single out any members of staff, because it's clear that they work brilliantly as a team and I'd hate to miss anyone out.

My wife was extremely well looked after during her short time in Lawton Rise. She was treated throughout with care, respect and dignity. We were kept informed of food and fluid intake and health problems, and what was being done about them.
My family and I would have no problems recommending Lawton Rise to others looking for care for their relatives.

This home is amazing. My mum only spent a couple of months here before she passed away, but I can honestly say that all the staff were really wonderful. My mum found some peace at the end of her life. The carers were outstanding, nothing was too much trouble. Although mum had dementia she was able to talk and loved chatting, so all the staff would stop and chat to mum which meant so much to her and us. I never felt like I was abandoning her because I knew how well she was cared for her. I can’t thank everyone at Lawton Rise enough.

"A wonderful home. Well run, efficient and caring environment. Staff are amazing from management, carers, nursing staff, housekeeping, catering, activities & maintenance! Residents all loved and well cared for. Relatives kept up to date always and included in any decisions. Relatives also well looked after & supported by staff. I couldn't fault the home at all!!"

"My Gran was a resident at Lawnton Rise for a number of years. The care provided to her was outstanding. My Gran was always clean, well dressed and so very well looked after - this was always one of the issues that my Gran worried about in the early days of her dementia, she wanted to be clean. Hydration was always available to her, and staff always provided prompts and assistance with food when needed. You could visit at any time and everything was as you'd hope it could be. Staff were always on hand to ask any questions, and it was clear that they knew everything about my Gran and her needs, you can clearly tell that they care. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and the staff will go above and beyond to assist and reassure you. What more can you wish for? I cannot offer enough praise and thanks to all at Lawton Rise. Thank you for making my Gran's final years comfortable and peaceful."

"Our mum has been a resident at Lawton Rise for a number of years. There is a variety of good food for residents, but sadly our mum’s dementia has got a lot worse and now she does not eat much. Bedroom is bright, airy and warm. Staff offer good interaction with Mum, as she is very active, even at 89. Lawton Rise usually respond to any concerns that I have, regardless of how minor they are. My mum has always been clean and well cared for. The home lets me know what is happening and keeps me up to date with any incidents or changes to her care, they are always friendly and welcoming."

"We have been delighted with how well Dad has been cared for by all the staff at Lawton Rise. The change in him is remarkable; he is happy and smiling. The staff have been kind and caring and very responsive to Dad's needs. They make him smile and have a joke with him which is lovely to see. Dad struggles to communicate with his dementia and the staff take time to help him. The home is bright, clean and has a lovely vibe. The residents are encouraged to join in a range of activities and there are loads of different things happening every week. I can wholeheartedly say this care home is exceptional."

"My partner has been a resident at Lawton Rise for twenty months now. He always appears settled and trusting of the staff. I personally always feel welcomed and it's good to have a friendly chat with the staff and other residents. The meals always look appetizing. The residents' clothes are well cared for. I would recommend Lawton Rise to others."

"A very good afternoon. My wife has been a resident of Lawton Rise for over five years. I find the home to be very well run, and from the management down, very helpful and most obliging. If I have any problems, they are great at sorting out any problems, not that I can remember any such occasions arising for a long time. I would like to praise four members firstly, the manager, secondly the assistant manager, thirdly and last but not least is the administration lady, but I must say all the staff are without a doubt first class."

"My mum was in Lawton Rise for 4 years she passed away in November 2022. The care she had while in there was exceptional the staff were brilliant and nothing was too much trouble. They treat their residents as if they were their own family. They always put a smile on Mum's face, we knew she was well taken care of, you worry about them but we knew she was fine. There was always something going on to entertain them, music afternoons singers would come in. The staff always kept me well informed on how she was. The staff are absolutely brilliant, one member of staff was mum's main carer, you start off as strangers and end up being part of one big family can not praise them enough."

"We were welcomed immediately by a fabulous member of staff. She took us to see our aunt. Then, she found a beautiful empty sitting room where we could chat. She even brought tea, coffee and biscuits, which was so lovely. Our aunt is very happy! The facility is beautiful, clean and immaculate. Congratulations."

"I have visited my grandad at the care home, several times and not consistently at the same time. The home was always very clean and tidy and the staff was very welcoming. It gives you such ease to enter a strange place but feel so welcome. My grandad's room looked amazing with all his pictures in place and so homely. I would recommend Lawton Rise to anyone."

"All the staff at Lawton Rise Care Home are unfailingly welcoming, smiling and cheerful. If a problem does arise it is immediately listened to and addressed at the time, if possible, or referred to the appropriate person. The earlier general refurbishment has made all the difference to the more homely feel and standard of surroundings. We look forward to the continuation of the plan. There are times when unfamiliar staff assigned to the unit is unsettling for the residents."

"My mum came here on an assessment bed from a hospital 20 miles away due to her worsening dementia and increase in hospital admissions due to falls. I was so worried that she wasn't on the doorstep but soon realised after conversations with the home manager, who put me at ease and showed great empathy for my situation, that she would, at last, be safe for a while. My darling mum has now been in the home for 6 weeks and is a different person. I will be forever grateful to the whole team at Lawton Rise for their dedicated and compassionate work helping my mum and the other lovely people living their lives with dementia. An incredible place which I couldn't have wished harder to exist! Thank you from the bottom of mine, my families but most importantly, my mum's heart."

"Barchester Lawton Rise Care Home has given my father the best care imaginable since April 2023. They've made my dad feel home from home and have easily catered for his complex dementia needs. His medication has been regulated successfully and the services offered such as artwork, Christmas cards and guest singers are exemplary. Moreover, the 3-course meals given every day are 4-star standard."

"My mum was in Barchester Lawton Rise Care Home from August 2019 until her recent death due to her deteriorating dementia. I can honestly say that my family and I are truly blessed to have had such committed, professional and caring staff take care of Mum. Communication throughout her stay has been excellent and it gave me peace of mind to know that she was so happy and settled. The staff all work so well as a team, like cogs of a wheel. I can't express my thanks and gratitude to them enough for making both Mum and our family so welcome and for taking such excellent care of her. I will continue to recommend Lawton Rise for anyone seeking care for their loved one."

"Absolutely outstanding care received by my mother from a wonderful, caring, compassionate, professional team. The transfer from home to permanent care was smooth and efficient, we were kept updated every step of the way and supported throughout this procedure. The staff, as a whole, are truly amazing. I knew, without a doubt, my mother was very much cared for as if she was their own parent. The environment is relaxed and wholesome with many activities for the residents to enjoy. Even though my mother was in late-stage dementia, I know she was contented in their care. They definitely deserve some sort of reward for their kindness and professionalism. I can't thank them enough."

"Mum spent the last few weeks of her life at Barchester Lawton Rise Care Home in Goldenhill, following a few months in hospital. The care she received at Lawton Rise was outstanding in every way. Despite having dementia and complex physical needs, the staff got to know Mum very well and they were exemplary in their care of both her physical and emotional needs. Sadly, her health issues resulted in her death but as a family, we are all confident that Mum could not have been anywhere better at the end of her life. Every single member of staff at the home went above and beyond our expectations and not only did they care for Mum at the end of her life with compassion, they also showed immense empathy towards us, her family, as we came to terms with Mum's deteriorating health. We cannot praise them highly enough and thank them for making the last few weeks of Mum's life as comfortable as possible. Thank you, all of you."

"My family and I were extremely impressed with the level of care given to my wife while in Barchester Lawton Rise Care Home. The staff, from front of house to carers and nurses, were excellent. We knew my wife was well looked after. There were regular updates on food and fluid intake and of any health issues that occurred. My family and I were looked after as well when there. I would recommend this home to anyone who wants to see their relative treated with care, respect and dignity. Unable to comment on activities for patients as my wife was bedbound and unable to take part. Otherwise, excellent."

"When we have visited mum is clean and well cared for. The staff have formed good relationships with her. She is non-verbal but the staff interpret mum's non-verbal communications well and she appears settled. The staff make great efforts to ensure mum's safety. They manager her diabetes well and they appear to have halted the recurrent U.T.I's she suffered previously."

"I feel that all of the staff have got my father's interest at the front of their list at all times. They have always made me aware of any issues with his care at the earliest opportunity. The care taken to help in his day to day living is second to none if it's persuading him to eat or taking his medication. They take the time to treat him like a human being and not a number. In many respects, I feel they treat him like one of their own relatives."
