"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."

"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."

"I would not hesitate in recommending Lawton Rise Nursing Home for anyone suffering from dementia. My uncle had dementia but was otherwise quite healthy. There was always a lot of staff and nurses available and his every need was taken care of, nothing being too much trouble. There was always daily entertainment and activities provided which the staff encourage all the residents to attend. I would like to thank everyone concerned for their help whilst my uncle resided at Lawton Rise, they all do a great job!"

"Since my wife arrived at Lawton Rise she has been very well looked after. The standard of care has been excellent and the staff have been outstanding in their care for my wife and us as a family. The room has been of a high standard for cleanliness. My wife has been well fed and drinks have been freely available to us all. My wife has received a high standard of medical care with prompt visits to the doctors and hospital. The gardens were a great help in the hot summer days being safe and secure. In conclusion, Lawton Rise as a home is outstanding."

"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."

"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."

"My father has been a resident at Lawton Rise Vare Home for the past two years and I have to say, he's very happy there. The decor in some areas of the home does need updating and I believe that this will be happening in the near future, however, it is very clean. The management work very well together and are very approachable, any concerns are dealt with as soon as possible. The entertainments programme is very good, there is a good mixture of activities, entertainers and events and everyone is encouraged to join in. The standard of care is very good, the staff seem very happy in their work and are very friendly, caring and helpful, not only with the residents but with relatives alike. I feel that the people I have met at Lawton Rise have become part of my extended family and I would definitely recommend it."

"My mum moved here in November 22, and sadly things went from bad to worse with her. She came as a falls risk needing (according to her notes) 1.1 care. She wasn’t assessed in hospital, they said due to covid but was none on the ward. In the 9 days she was there she had 19 falls again due to no 1.1 care, this resulted in another hospital stay. Dec 22 she was assessed (while covid was on the ward) and although nothing apart from the falls had changed they decided she couldn’t return. Why have her in the first place? A proper assessment should have been done in Nov (they were told of the challenges Mum had). No call bell in room. Mum was let down big time. The evidence of bruising is heartbreaking. I sadly would not recommend here at all. Management would not return calls or speak to me. The rooms are beautiful, the grounds are beautiful, but that's the only plus to it."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"My grandfather has been a resident at Lawton Rise for a number of years. During my time visiting him, I have seen four changes in management and I must say that the current management team is the most approachable and most willing to listen to any concerns. They will usually respond to any concerns that I have, regardless of how minor they are. My grandfather has always been clean, well cared for and always appears happy. He has told me he likes the food and will eat every bite of his meals. The home let me know what is happening and keep me up to date with any incidents or changes to his care. I cant praise the staff enough - they are always friendly and welcoming. I enjoy talking with the staff nearly as much as talking to my grandfather."
