A lovely friendly care home, staff are excellent, always offered a hot or cold drink and biscuits on arrival. The meals look very appetising and Dad seems to enjoy them. The home is very clean and residents always look smart and clean in appearance. We would highly recommend Lucton House to our family
and friends.

I would like to thank the manager, deputy manager and all the care staff at Lucton House. When you walk through the front door, you are met with friendly faces. The manager's door is always open. My father appears to be very happy there. The food looks great, and I know that my father really enjoys
it.
A big thank you to the manager and catering staff.

I attended a birthday party for a resident during the month of November and I have to say how impressed I was with Lucton House. The staff were extremely attentive to the needs of the residents and visitors alike. The residents were constantly kept engaged with staff encouraging them to join in the
celebrations. The facility was very secure and clean. A lovely buffet was provided for residents and guests alike. I only looked at one room but it was very spacious and had its own kitchen area, bathroom and bedroom. I would absolutely recommend the home.

Reply from Teresa, Home Manager at Lucton House

Thank you so much for sharing your experience of our home. Our team works incredibly hard to ensure our residents' needs are met and we also like to make sure we take the time to enjoy special occasions. Warm regards, Teresa.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Lucton House is a wonderful care home in a very quiet setting. The home is very secure keeping all the residents safe and sound. Having my own family member go into a home (April 2020) was such a tough decision to be a party to, and to leave a loved one in the hands of other people fills you with a
lot of anxiety. However the level of care has been and continues to be brilliant, the staff are always pleasant and cheerful. The residents are always occupied every day with a multitude of activities and treated with the greatest respect by all the staff too. The home is very clean and bright and has great facilities for the residents, such as a pub, gardens and a hairdresser. The resident apartments are pleasant and self-contained, they are always checked on regularly by the staff when not in the communal areas. Finally, the management team, have been excellent. They are always approachable, welcoming on visits and always willing to help or answer queries.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

I cannot recommend this care home enough. From the moment we viewed this home for my grandfather, we knew that it was where we wanted him to be.
My grandfather is 95 years old and was reluctant to move into a care home after so long living independently. However, after two short weeks in the home,
he has settled amazingly. He has told us how the staff have looked after him and attended to his needs.
He has described the food as ‘delicious’ and has his own self-contained apartment that he has been able to personalise.
As his family, this is all we could have hoped for in what has been a really difficult decision.
Lucton House is a special place, with special people and I would not hesitate to recommend it for anyone looking for care.
Thank you, your support has meant the world

My elderly friend of 20 years, recently moved to Lucton House. I was really worried when I first learned that he was going into a home. From my first visit, I began to feel at ease and since then I have visited numerous times and have been overwhelmed by the improvement in him as a result of the exceptional
care he has received. All the staff are wonderful, very friendly, helpful and kind. Lucton House is exceptionally clean. The staff always make me feel welcome when I visit. I was fortunate to visit on Valentine's Day when they had arranged for a singer to come in, everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. I wouldn’t hesitate to highly recommend this care home to other people.

I moved my dad up to Lucton House from London, where he had been living on his own. I could not believe the difference in him after just two weeks there. He is happy, has put on weight, looks healthier and has even been up dancing. The staff there are all lovely, caring and helpful. The care he receives
is brilliant. The food is lovely and there is plenty of it. I can honestly say that moving my dad to Lucton House was the best thing I did. Thank you everyone at Lucton House for the loving care you show my dad.

Absolutely amazing place! So very pleased with the care and attention my uncle is receiving. The staff are friendly towards all residents and having a chat with them about nothing, in particular, is never too much trouble. Every aspect of my uncle's care and needs are not only dealt with promptly but
documented. The accommodation is spacious and homely, and I love the fact that he can have his own belongings there to help him feel more settled. I have no concerns or worries when I leave him, and all residents are clean and well attended to. I would 100% recommend this place.

My father was transferred from his local hospital in London to Lucton House care home. The transfer was traumatic for my father but the care, patience and professionalism with which all the members of the care home team engaged with my father was key to enabling him to come to terms with the move. I
would like to particularly mention the senior staff, directors and nursing, that spent time reassuring me as they made their way through the process. Their ability to spot my concerns apparently before I could even articulate them and reassure me was invaluable and evidence of the team's experience and professionalism yet again.
Thanks.

Thank you so much for trusting us with your father's care, we understand just how difficult the decision process regarding care can be.

I have been living at Lucton House for the last ten years. They have been very good to me and they keep me content. I have asked for the flooring to be changed as I did not like the carpet anymore, they have put me very nice and bright flooring down and I am very thankful. The food at Luton House is
very good and delicious, they always listen to our feedback and what we want.
I like living at Lucton House and it is home from home.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.765)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.765) out of 10 for Lucton House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.765 for Lucton House is calculated as follows: ( (281 Excellents x 5) + (54 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 349 Ratings = 4.765

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Lucton House is based on 29 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 51 registered maximum number of service users is 10.2, which has been reached with 29 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
