What people are saying about Lavenders
Daughter of a resident
Overall Experience
5.0 out of 5
Mum has been at Lavenders since February this year and we have been very pleased with the home – with the facilities, the care and all of the staff that we have met. Communication is good, with the office and with the senior carers on shift and we are kept well-informed when anything happens. The staff have always been friendly, polite and helpful and are very patient with Mum. There are plenty of activities on offer, though Mum doesn’t go to that many of them despite encouragement; she is also encouraged to sit out in the lounge which is bright and airy with a nice view of the grounds and she seems to do that quite often. I would recommend anyone with a friend or relative needing care to have a look at Lavenders.
