  • Barchester Lawton Manor Care Home, Stoke-on-Trent
Lawton Manor is a luxury care home, set in two acres of grounds on the Cheshire-Staffordshire border, in the village of Church Lawton. Close to Alsager and also the lovely National Trust Property Little Morton Hall, Lawton Manor offers residential, nursing, and palliative care.

The home has views over picturesque farmland and rolling country hills as well as the beautiful, landscaped garden, tiered fountain, and large patio area.

The home's courtesy vehicle ensures you're within easy reach of all the amenities of Church Lawton.

The majority of bedrooms are en-suite and rooms are not assigned by care type. Instead, they encourage residents to choose the room that’s right for them. The home has a number of wonderful communal spaces, including two dining spaces, lounges, a conservatory, library, cinema room, and games room where they keep the popular Wii console.

Trained chefs provide a daily menu of nutritious, tasty meals, which residents can have in the restaurant-style dining room or their own rooms, whichever they prefer. Special dietary requirements will be catered for.

An activities coordinator plans regular events so everyone is kept busy, though participation is entirely optional. There are daily events in the home as well as regular excursions. Residents and relatives are invited to contribute to the planning sessions, to ensure that everyone desires are being met.

My Mum who is 86 came to Lawton Manor Care Home as a full-time resident in 25th Feb 2018. She suffered pneumonia and heart failure and was in need of care and rehabilitation to learn to walk again (Zimmer). All the staff across all lines of this home have been fantastic, not only has my mum received
excellent care but she has been encouraged and supported in such a way that not only is she walking (with Zimmer) but she has grown back into becoming her own person again, tales to tell and an energy for life that hasn't been seen in a long time. I knew when I started my search I'd need somewhere safe and caring for my mum but I can honestly say Lawton Manor Care Home is more than that with a massive thanks to all!!

Very clean room which was also suitable airy and had a view across the fields. The home itself was also very clean and had the facilities which suited my needs including the entertainment program. Staff were excellent, very friendly and always available to meet my needs, especially hygiene and bathroom
needs. Very flexible at meal times providing food of my choice which may not have been on the menu.

Lawton Manor Care Home is a home filled with warmth, kindness and love. Although my sister was only a resident here for 3 months until her passing, the care given to both her and our family, was outstanding. The dedicated staff are led by an equally dedicated manager, all are approachable and have one
main goal - to give full support to the resident and family. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Lawton Manor.

When my mum was admitted to Lawton Manor, the process was incredibly easy and quick - I was told of the offer of a bed on Friday afternoon, visited Lawton Manor on Sunday morning, accepted the offer of a bed for my mum on Monday morning, and my mum was assessed and admitted by Tuesday afternoon.


The

venue is in the country, so there are great, uninterrupted countryside views, and although situated by a fairly busy A-road, very quiet and peaceful. It is situated in its own, well-maintained grounds with seating areas for residents and guests to take advantage of.


The staff are all friendly and have the welfare of the residents at the forefront of their work time. There are daily activities for the residents, mixed with trips out to various places and events. They organise events for residents and their guests in their own grounds as well, with everyone made to feel very welcome.


There is also a hairdresser that comes in on a weekly basis.


Nothing seems to be too much trouble.

Lawton Manor was a comfortable place for my mother to spend her last years.
Common areas are very pleasant and provide residents opportunities to socialise, watch TV, take part in activities or just sit quietly.
The dining room is pleasant and the food is good and suitable for the needs of residents
as they age.
Care, both social and nursing is good and staff are concerned for the needs of the residents.

Mum was a resident at Lawton Manor for 1 year. We cannot thank all the staff from the cleaners, laundry workers, carers, nurses to the office and management staff enough for the care they gave to her. They did their best with difficulties sometimes because of low staff numbers. The system used to calculate
numbers of staff required is set by a company policy scheme. However, this is not enough. There were times when mum had to wait for care which was unacceptable, not the fault of the staff on duty, it's the fault of the system.

My wife has been on respite in this establishment for one month and she is happy with the attention and care provided and so am I.
The food is very well presented, tasty and plentiful. The kitchen staff are very patient and caring when serving the residents and great care is taken to ensure that no
one is overlooked. The daily entertainments provided are of very high standard and wonderful to see the artists interacting with the residents. A very big thank you to the management and all staff.

I liked Lawton Manor from the moment I entered the building. The entrance hall is large and bright with comfy sofas and freshly cut flowers. Residents can participate in a wide variety of activities every week if they wish to do so and there are also organised visits to local places of interest. My
mother-in-law enjoyed visiting the in-house hairdressers every week and also having her nails polished. I have always found the staff very friendly and caring and willing to sort out any problems that may arise. My mother-in-law was very happy and made many friends there.

My experience at Lawton Manor (whilst I was there for 3 weeks respite care) was very good. At times, I felt unwell and in pain and was glad of the care and support provided by the care staff. I have benefitted from their diligence and their standard of care and their obvious pride in their work. I have
been treated with respect, dignity and also good humour (very important). The choice of food has been very good and eating regularly and well has been important. I have felt safe. Maybe the buzzers at night could do with a silencer (small quibble).

The management and staff could not do enough for us. They were most helpful to our late father and our family. We only asked for something and it was provided. E.g fridge, fan, we felt like we were family every time we visited and updated constantly on our father's illness.
When my father was uncomfortable
I asked a member of staff who was going on her break to help she put her food and drink to one side and assisted him. The management and staff are a credit to Brighterkind and I hope the company grows with the kindness and help which was given to our late father.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.739)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.739) out of 10 for Barchester Lawton Manor Care Home 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 10 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 4.846 for Barchester Lawton Manor Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (99 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 117 Ratings = 4.846

  • 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 4.893 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Barchester Lawton Manor Care Home is based on 10 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 56 registered maximum number of service users is 11.2. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.2 = 0.893

  • 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.

Rebecca Whitehouse

Job Title: General Manager

Hi, my name is Rebecca and I am General Manager at Lawton Manor.


I have worked within the health and social care sector for over 15 years now in a variety of roles and services all over Central England. My passion has always been older people's care - I feel that the older generation has such a wealth of life experience and knowledge they can pass on to us, which means every day I learn something new in my role.


I started my career in care as a carer and have worked my way up to then work within a variety of management roles within the sector including home management/commissioning manager/regional support manager/regional manager in both residential and nursing settings.


I am passionate about making a difference to the people who live with us and feel I am in a very privileged role to be able to do this. I am also passionate about working with teams to develop and enhance their skills and knowledge to make them the best they can be.
