Myself and my Mum attended the Christmas light ceremony, which was refreshing to see my Grandmother danced and had a lovely smile on her face. A big thank you for making this an enjoyable experience.
Thank you to the activity team.

My dad went to Lennox House in September 2023 my dad sadly passed away in August 2024!
I honestly do not know what I would have done without the team at Lennox House they were just simply amazing!
Not only were they there for my dad but they were also there for me and my family! I honestly feel a
lot of them are my extended family which I'm still in touch with now and always will be, Dad was looked after so well throughout his time in Lennox house, but during Dad's last few days the care was amazing, his dignity was well and truly respected! I definitely have made friends for life here. I will forever for thankful and grateful to them for making Dad's last year of life safe secure and comfortable and also for making me as his daughter feel as I had someone to turn to when the journey got tough! They are all 100% superstars!

I like Lennox House because it offers residents a nice clean homely environment.
Staff are great at assisting residents to look smart every day.
You can mistake some residents for professionals visiting when you get in the building at Lennox House.
They're presented smartly and residents who can
are sometimes walking around happily exploring their environment.
Well done guys at Lennox House and keep it up for our dear old people you look after.

Visited my uncle with my mum and sisters.
On arriving, the welcome from the staff was amazing, very friendly and caring.
The staff kindly provided lunch and refreshments and a room where we could sit and spend time as a family.
I was absolutely overwhelmed by the kindness and care they showed
to my uncle.
I would highly recommend this care home for a safe and loving environment for a family.

We were given a very warm welcome from our first enquiry. The team at Lennox House welcomed my sister with great care and respect. They were interested in what she had done in her life, what she enjoys, what she might find difficult and how they could reassure her when necessary. Her care is excellent.
Staff are observant and ready to make any changes that might help. I feel fully included in my sister's care and in the links that the home has with GP and wider services. The activities team are there to offer support so that my sister can access some lovely activities. The chef ensures that she has good food that she enjoys. I feel there is a shared team commitment to high standards of care and continued staff development. When I leave after each visit I feel confident that my sister is safe and well looked after in a warm and respectful environment. Thank you for making her family feel included in Lennox House.

All the staff are incredibly caring and friendly and always very welcoming. The support from the initial visit has been amazing and helped get Mum placed in time for Christmas. Knowing she is now safe and being looked after now is a huge relief.
The fact I can take our dog in to visit means I can pop
in more regularly on walks and the residents are always happy to see him too.

Was a little bit scared of the change when my mother was transferred from her care home to Lennox House Nursing Care about 6-8 weeks ago. The staff have been so helpful and have satisfied all of my mum's needs and seem to have given her a new lease of life.

Under the new management at Lennox House, the home is moving from strength to strength. My friend has been a resident at the home since August 2019 so we have experienced all the improvements put into place. The nursing and medical care are excellent. My friend's medical condition is better controlled
than it has been in decades. Staff are helpful, interested, and courteous. I can happily recommend this home for your loved one

All the staff (and the management) in the last year have been fantastic. They have helped in my visits with a friendly, can-do attitude. Considering how hard everything has been with Covid they are pretty upbeat. I feel Mum is being looked after well and they telephone me if there is any reason to do
so. I can recommend Lennox house with no hesitation. The Unit Manager is super helpful in nursing and the Activities Co-Ordinatoris super in singing for everyone.

I have found nothing to alarm me about the care of my mother she finds the staff very helpful and her only complaint is she does not like the food but that is a personal choice which she understands.

Reply from Samantha Debenham, Personal Assistant at Lennox House

What is very evident are the improvements in general - someone welcoming on the desk. Very easy and polite Covid testing - tea made available whilst waiting etc. On the ground floor the staff were also very welcoming and made a point of saying hello. My cousin clearly has good relationships with the
care staff and they were getting ready to celebrate her birthday. There was a sense of fun and humour around. I have been kept well informed of any medical issues with sensitivity - ie starting any phone call with reassurances that things are ok.
I hope the entertainment is now getting going - I understand that jury service interrupted things earlier in the year. It would be good to see some photos.
I know my cousin likes spicy food and things like pain au chocolate - I guess she finds the food a bit on the bland side.

Reply from Samantha Debenham, Personal Assistant at Lennox House

Thank you for your review – I’m so happy to hear your kind words about the home and the good relationships your cousin has made with the team – it’s exactly what we strive for. In regards to the food, we’re very lucky at Lennox House that we have a chef-led team who prepare all the meals in-house with fresh ingredients, so we’re always able to tailor dishes. We always want our menus to be driven by the needs and wishes of the residents, so I’m sure we can discuss your cousin’s preferences with her and the Chef and make sure that the food is suited to her tastes.

I have the highest regard for Lennox Care Home from cleaners to management, everyone is cheerful always greeted with a smile, hello
And if there is anything we want.
The care taken with mum is exceptional due to her dementia and deafness they manage to converse and make her laugh, mum loves the music
and singing that is provided she manages to have a little dance in her wheelchair. Nothing is to much trouble for staff when asked to do anything for us and mum.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.604)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.604) out of 10 for Lennox House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 13 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 4.857 for Lennox House is calculated as follows: ( (136 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 154 Ratings = 4.857

  • 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 4.747 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Lennox House is based on 13 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 87 registered maximum number of service users is 17.4. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.4 = 0.747

  • 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.

Adriana Stefania Bernschutz

Job Title: Home Manager

I am a qualified General Nurse and came to the UK after training in Romania.


I chose to work with Care UK as they offer outstanding training, a variety of career pathways, and a friendly, supportive environment, regardless of the role you select.


The desire to help and to actively get involved in the treatment of the patients gives me great fulfilment.


I am now pursuing a degree in Health and Care Management, and I believe that a job in care management is one of the most gratifying careers available.


As a Home Manager, you must be trustworthy, communicative and able to complete a variety of jobs and responsibilities, including acting as manager when needed. I assist the management with making crucial decisions, attending meetings, hiring and training new employees, evaluating business performance, preparing reports, and coordinating across many different departments, which demands excellent leadership abilities.


My emphasis is on the success of the team and ensuring that everyone meets the objectives.


What motivates me is the knowledge that my hard work and determination will lead to greater professional achievement. Respect, compassion, and dignity are key principles in my opinion, and I am accountable for ensuring good practice in person-centred care as well as guiding and supporting this approach in the employees I supervise.
