Reviews for Lancaster Grange Care Home

"My wife has been a resident of Lancaster Care Home for 2 years. During this period I have been more than pleased with all aspects of my wife's care. The staff from the manager downwards have always displayed a professional attitude, caring support and total friendliness. I have always been informed of my wife's concerns and been involved in all decision making processes. They have been extremely helpful on occasions when I have felt confused by what has been said about outside agencies (i.e. social services). You should be proud of Lancaster Grange."

"Moving Mum to residential care was a huge decision. Lancaster Grange stood out immediately in terms of attitude, ease of planning and listening to our needs. Mum, in spite of her devastation admitting she could no longer cope on her own and leaving her beloved home, has settled in beautifully. After 10 months, she feels Lancaster Grange is her home. The staff feel like family. There is a wonderful sense of community. As her family, I feel as much a part of Lancaster Grange as the residents and staff alike. Obviously, I'd like Mum to be living independently but Lancaster Grange comes a very close second."

"We have been looked after very well by the General Manager who has always been willing to talk to us and help us as mum and dad have transitioned from home to residential care home living. It's early days yet to give a full appraisal of Lancaster Grange but from what we have seen so far we are are more than happy with mum and dad's choice of care home."

"My experience is very agreeable. Staff are helpful and sympathetic. I am interested in activities eg painting, crafting and any kind of creative work. I enjoy reading and poetry and find the library adequate. I am pleased that I have been allowed to make a cup of tea when I choose. The food is either very good eg midday meals, every meal has poor choice."

"Always a very warm, friendly and welcoming greeting by the staff, they are always so kind and caring with my grandma during our visits, especially when she gets a little confused with dementia. The activities are always so interactive and well planned and excellent. It is great to see what they do on Facebook. I couldn't have asked for a better place for grandma to be during a pandemic she is safe and cared for."

"This review relates to every visit we had here at Lancaster Grange. Mum is always happy and contented, she's always dressed well, hair and nails done. These things are very important to mum. Always a warm welcome by all the staff, food is good and varied. The activities are varied and tailored to residents capabilities and likes. When we were allowed in the home to visit we were able to join in fantastic, to sum up. I could write so much more."

"The staff are doing a fabulous job during this difficult time of lockdown. We regularly follow the postings on FaceBook of all the activities they are doing and they are keeping the residents busy and occupied. The visiting suite is a great idea and works very well. We have used it a few times and it is an invaluable lifeline for safely seeing our relative."

"Dad was moved to Lancaster Grange when his previous home closed its nursing unit. We were initially apprehensive about how Dad would settle, as we were unable to visit in person due to Covid. However, our minds were soon put at rest. The staff are wonderful and Dad came out of his shell very quickly. He is thriving at Lancaster Grange, and we couldn't be happier about his move."

"We were initially reluctant as a family to move my grandma from the house she has lived in for all her adult life, but we are now so pleased we chose to make the move to Barchester Lancaster Grange Care Home. It is so reassuring to know that she is safe, cared for and understood - the staff have been absolutely fantastic since she moved in. It is so lovely seeing Grandma join in with the activities on the Facebook feed and has given us a feel of her day to day life there despite lockdown restrictions. Shortly after moving in, it was her 90th birthday and the staff made such an effort to make the most of her day, including hiring a singer in the garden and hosting a party as well as ensuring as many of her family could visit her as possible, all whilst abiding by the covid restrictions to ensure her safety. I cannot praise the staff enough for their caring actions - it is an incredible relief for my parents and the rest of the family to know that she is being so well cared for and is happy and safe."

"Living in faw away, I don't get to visit grandma as much as I would like too but the care homes facebook page provides me with a valuable connection. It enables myself and my children to see what grandma is doing and how happy and well she looks. Thank you."

"My overall experience of Lancaster Grange is excellent. I worked in a care home for 15 years, so know what is expected from the care given to residents and the home itself. Lancaster Grange exceeds in every way. The staff are excellent not only to the residents but also to the families, nothing is too much trouble. They all seem to go over and above. The home is kept beautiful."

"I have been hugely grateful for the care and compassion shown to my father and his three daughters by all the staff at Lancaster Grange during the weeks he has been a resident there. They have been very proactive and reactive in identifying and providing the support my father has needed. Each and every staff member has been an example for your company."

"The team are extremely kind and patient. My mother particularly enjoys the activities and the trips out with other residents. Not enough staff in resulting in 6 am shower - too early! Value for money is low. Expensive meat is not cooked so as to tender for old people, often warm. The room needs to have better insulation/draft around the door and window."

"I am extremely pleased with all the care staff at the home. This group includes not only the direct care staff but all staff including reception, meet and greet and in particular the staff that organise activities and functions. Throughout this difficult period, they have succeeded in managing to keep the residents occupied and entertained, no mean feat. All the staff have my grateful thanks for their help and pleasant demeanour."

"I came here in early December 2021 from the hospital, after I had a fall in my bungalow and had a damaged femur. As I was now living on my own, with no relatives nearby, I always thought that Lancaster Grange Care Home was where I would like to live, and I come here without seeing it. I have sold my bungalow and I am very happy here meeting everyone and taking part in varied activities and trips out in the minibus."

"On Monday I had the pleasure of taking my favourite mother-in-law in her wheelchair for a visit to Fernwood park opposite the home. It was organised by the senior activities coordinator, assisted by members of staff (some who had come in to help on their day off!) and volunteers. What a great idea. It made twelve residents very happy, especially as it included an ice cream! Thank you and well done."

"From the initial visit to Lancaster Grange Care Home, everyone was very helpful and supportive. My mother needed respite care after a spell in the hospital and the care and support she received have enabled her full recovery, she is now able to return to her own home. She is now confident she can manage with support from self. The staff have been wonderful and the range of activities available enable residents to mix together and have some fun. Would highly recommend Lancaster Grange Care Home."
