  • Admission Criteria
    • Our admission policy ensures that every prospective resident receives a thorough and personalised pre-admission assessment to determine whether we can meet their needs safely and competently. We involve the individual, their family, and any relevant professionals in this process, aiming to provide clear, accessible information so they can make an informed choice about moving into the care home. Key steps in our process: Initial Enquiry: We log all enquiries, provide an information pack, and invite the prospective resident to visit the home. Pre-Admission Assessment: We assess physical, psychological, and social needs, ensuring any necessary equipment or specialist care can be arranged before admission. Capacity and Consent: We follow the Mental Capacity Act, ensuring the individual consents to the process or that decisions are made in their best interests if needed. Financial and Legal Clarity: Funding arrangements (private, social care, or NHS-funded) are confirmed upfront, and legal agreements are put in place before admission. On Admission: The resident is welcomed, introduced to staff, and supported to settle in. Key risk assessments (such as falls and evacuation plans) are completed within 12 hours, and personalised care plans are finalised within the first week. Ongoing Review: A formal review is held within 28 days to ensure the placement is suitable and to gather feedback on the resident’s experience. Our approach is person-centred, aiming to make the transition into the home as smooth, informed, and supportive as possible. We also conduct regular audits to maintain high standards and ensure all legal and regulatory requirements are met.

  • Visiting
  • The team value the importance of visitors in the lives of residents and fully support their right to maintain contact with family, friends, and loved ones. The visitors policy ensures that visits are welcomed, safe, and respectful of each resident’s personal wishes.


    Key points of the policy:


    Open Visiting: Visitors are welcome at any time, unless a resident personally requests limited visits or there is an outbreak of infection, in which case the home will follow health and safety guidance.


    Resident Choice: Each resident can decide who they want to see, and this choice will be recorded in their care plan. If a resident lacks the capacity to make this decision, the Mental Capacity Act will guide the process to ensure visits still support their best interests.


    Visitor Registration: All visitors must sign in and out at reception and follow any health and safety procedures in place.


    Privacy and Respect: Residents have the right to refuse visitors, and this will always be respected. Visitors will not be allowed into other residents’ rooms without express permission.


    Food and Personal Items: Any food or personal items brought in for a resident must be declared to staff to ensure safety and dietary needs are considered.


    Infection Control: Visitors who feel unwell, especially with symptoms of transmissible infections (such as flu, COVID-19, or norovirus), are asked to postpone their visit until they are well.


    Conflict and Safeguarding: If a visitor’s behaviour poses a risk to residents, staff, or the home environment, management will intervene. In serious cases, visits may be restricted or conditions imposed, with advice from the Safeguarding Team if necessary.


    Outbreak Management: In the event of a public health incident, the home will follow local and national guidance, offering alternatives like video calls or window visits if needed.


    Feedback and Complaints: Visitors are encouraged to provide feedback and raise any concerns, which will be handled through the Complaints, Suggestions and Compliments Policy.


    Our goal is to make every visit a positive, safe, and supportive experience for all.

We needed to move my mum very quickly out of a long term hospital stay and the manager of Lanrick House was fundamental in arranging this for us. She is extremely professional and highly knowledgeable in all aspects of care. My mum stayed at Lanrick House for 3 weeks and we found the home to be clean,
welcoming and the staff to be very caring and kind. The food is excellent.

Mum has been at Lanrick for two and a half years and has had great care and support throughout her stay. Staff have always sought to involve her in day to day activities and are forever kind and cheerful with her. She is looked after far better than I could manage on my own.

Reply from Claire Anscombe, Registered manager at Lanrick House

Mum has been in Lanrick House for some 13 months following a move from the south. From the moment she arrived, the family have been more than happy with the care provided. We are now able to visit regularly and just turn up when we want. The staff not only engage with the residents but family too. There
are activities, some of which family/friends are invited to which we have enjoyed. Mum always compliments the food and there seems to be a varied menu to suit all. As Mum gets older, Lanrick House is the safe environment we would want for her and have made the best choice for her needs.

Reply from Claire Anscombe, Registered manager at Lanrick House

Thank you so much for your lovely review. Our staff at Lanrick have a passion for their role and feel that it is so important to engage with our residents so they feel comfortable, valued and respected. We do pride ourselves on the homemade food that we offer and this is also down to our residents feedback on the meals that they enjoy and we incorporate this into our menus. We feel the importance of providing a safe environment that caters for individual needs and that feels like home.

I cannot speak highly enough for the care and respect that the staff give to our Dad.
Lanrick House is a very professionally run home that has a well-run regime and a safe, enriching environment. There is excellent access to management and regular opportunities for families to have an input into how
the home is being run.
But the most important thing is how the staff interact with my Dad in a personal and caring way. I can always be confident that our Dad is safe and getting the best care.
Thank you to all the staff for the work you do.

Reply from Claire Anscombe, Registered manager at Lanrick House

Thank you for your lovely words. It has been an absolute pleasure being part of your dad's care and support. He has become a huge part of our Lanrick family. We always aim to provide person-centered care and put the needs of our service users first at all times. Our door is always open to feedback and ideas so we can continue to improve our service.

My sister and I are very pleased with the care given to our mother, she feels safe and well looked after, and she couldn't be happier. The staff are excellent and very supportive. I would recommend this care home to anyone thinking of placing a relative into care.

The staff at Lanrick House Care Home are very welcoming to all visitors and know the residents very well.
They offer daily stimulation to those in the home that are able to take part such as bingo, card making, local musical entertainers visiting, celebrating all key events and many other activities
to keep residents engaged as much as possible.
My mother has been a resident over 2 years now and is settled in her surroundings. She has a dedicated carer so family can communicate with them, which works in the main, but there is always someone to talk to should I have any questions. All of the staff know my mom and she seems to like all of them, which is important when I live over 50 miles away.
I would recommend anyone to stay, short or long, at this care home. The team work hard to ensure everyone is well looked after and happy.

My mother has been in Lanrick House for three years, she is there for care for the elderly as she couldn't live at home any more, due to mobility issues and the personal care required. From the moment she moved in she says she feels happy, safe and well cared for. She no longer has to worry about not
being able to get around very easily. She has an en-suite room, with TV, some of her own furniture, her pictures/photos, and great-grandchildren's drawings/paintings everywhere. She's always clean, warm and well-fed. She calls the carers her friends, and goes to the events that home put on regularly. Her friends visit, some with their little dogs, which she loves. I spent weeks researching local care homes. My brother and I chose Lanrick House after talking to our mother and visiting. We have never regretted it. She is in the best place she could possibly be. Her well-being, health, and happiness have all rocketed immensely. She is respected as a person and not just a resident. What more could you want?

A great clean home with loving carers who keep you informed and up to date on any issues. Mum has settled in really quickly and appears to be very happy which was our biggest concern having lived in her family home for over fifty years. Location is good for all the family who live in a 15-mile radius.

My sister has settled in to Lanrick House very quickly, helped by a very good team. The surroundings are very clean, tidy and warm so is her room. She always looks very neat and tidy and says the food and drinks are food. So for me and the rest of the family we feel she is in the best place for her
future health and happiness.

My dad moved into Lanrick House in October 2023. He was a bit unsettled at first, to be expected. Now he is very happy there. He has made friends and the consistency is good for him. I find all the staff very professional and lovely and he is very well looked after. Activities are always going on too.

Reply from Elaine Cole, Care Director at Lanrick House

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a wonderful review. It is lovely to hear that dad is settled and happy. We have a wonderful and dedicated team that we are very proud of.

It's been a lovely experience. My grandad was not a fan when he first went in as he has always been independent. However, the staff have welcomed him and helped him with any problems and now he loves it! They have fun days and trips and 5 meals a day! I'd wanna move in! Only problem is laundry, people's
clothes get mixed up, but if that's the only problem I'm happy.

Having placed my dad in two other care homes for respite before permanently staying at Lanrick House I can safely say Lanrick House is the best by far. My dad struggled with new surroundings but settled quickly at Lanrick which is all down to the excellent staff. Their knowledge and understanding of
dementia coupled with their warmth and caring attitude has made my dad's stay the best it could be. Lanrick House has many positives but the staff are their biggest asset by far.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.808)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.808) out of 10 for Lanrick 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.808 for Lanrick House is calculated as follows: ( (177 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 213 Ratings = 4.808

  • 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 Lanrick House is based on 18 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 18 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.
