After taking the difficult but necessary decision to place our mum into care, the help and reassurance we received from all staff, from management to carers was outstanding. They keep us updated, provide excellent activities for residents and their approach to the job they do is amazing. I couldn't
recommend them high enough and can't thank them enough for the help they gave to my brother and I.

My mother has been in Lansbury Court care home for a few years. On all my visits I have always found the home very clean and fresh. The staff are very friendly and have a very good relationship with all the people in their care. As my brother and I live 300 plus miles away, all these things are very
important. The home always keeps us updated about any problems that might arise.

The staff are very friendly both to residents and visitors, they are also helpful when requested. Facilities are basic but generally adequate. In summer, perhaps, more use could be made of the garden area.

During the time my mam was at Lansbury Court, she flourished healthwise and emotionally. She was surrounded by exceptionally good cares and fellow residents. Everyone was amazing right to the end. Thank you all.

Over the past, nearly 7 years of visiting my mother, the staff (that covers all staff from cleaners to care staff) have become more like family.
I know my mother is in good caring hands and she is well looked after and above all she is safe.

I myself found the care facility good. My brother seemed as though he fitted in quite well and for all he had, a condition, he seemed generally to like his environment. The staff were always kind and helpful towards him and he looked as though he trusted them. Near the end, I was informed quickly of
any change in his condition and when he had been treated and settled down which is very much appreciated.

I find that the staff are very friendly and professional, however I feel that they are overworked and more staff should be available.
There are plenty of in house events on for the residents but maybe need a little more outdoor events.
Overall a comfortable and happy place for my mum to spend her
care support.

The carers are very helpful and always there to support you especially the carer and senior carer. The home is clean and tidy. The health and wellbeing is a priority from the staff to the residents. There is always something going on to entertain the residents. I have never had anything to do with the
management, not even a hello. I think the staff are overworked and underpaid for the work they do.

I find the staff here very friendly and down to earth, my mam's care here is wonderful, I feel she is treated as an individual with great care and respect. In both our respects, I feel we are considered in all aspects of mam's care. On a more personal note, as an only child, this truly feels like a
new extended family who I can't thank enough for her continued care.

My father was very independent but also vulnerable before moving here. He is now the happiest I have seen him in a while. He enjoys the banter he has with the staff and loves when they take him out. He loves nothing better than keeping everyone entertained. I know he is safe and very well looked after.
I would highly recommend here.

I have been in Lansbury Court since 1st June 2018.
I have been cared for as bedbound for all of that time as I am morbidly obese.
A new rise and recline chair is being purchased for me by the home (mine was made defunct while in hospital)
The staff look after me in a very caring manner with laughter
and joy.

In general, I would rate this particular care facility to be good to excellent having spent nine months as a resident.
The staff are warm, helpful and friendly.
The demeanour of the home would appear to be efficient and yet relaxed.
On an observational note, more understanding of social care needs
to be addressed by the powers that be, including input from, if they so wish, residents.

Reply from Suzanne McKie, Care Home Manager at Lansbury Court Care Home

Many thanks for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review. I’m delighted to hear our staff are helpful and friendly and that our home is relaxing. I will pass your feedback on regarding the understanding of social care but if you would like to speak to me directly regarding this, my door is always open. Many thanks, Suzanne McKie, Care Home Manager

The staff support provided to my Mother is very good and they all appear to have her best interests at heart. Bedrooms are small and not ideal for family visits. The home has also been decorated to a high standard with new furniture/carpets etc. The activity coordinators work hard and are very dedicated,
however, due to a lack of resources they are limited as to what they can do. On a negative note, the garden is sparse and not easily accessible and untidy looking with no chairs as yet for residents to sit outside during spells of good weather.

Lansbury Court is an exceptionally caring home and I cannot recommend it highly enough. My Mam was admitted there in April 2016 and was shown the utmost care, love and dignity during her final days. Not only did the home look after my Mam but also made sure my Dad was well received and updated on her
condition. Dad was allowed to visit as often as possible and it was up to him when he was ready to leave. Mam's room was of a high standard and she was visited regularly by staff to make sure she was comfortable. Each time I called for updates, I was given an honest and caring account of Mam's day and progress. I looked extensively for a home for Mam and read notes and reviews on the internet about various care homes in the area. Lansbury Court did not have great reviews but after we visited and inspected the home, we knew Mam would like it, be safe and happy, so don't believe everything you read on the internet. Take a look for yourself! Thank you Lansbury Court staff.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.523)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.523) out of 10 for Lansbury Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.523 for Lansbury Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (101 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 155 Ratings = 4.523

  • 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 Lansbury Court Care Home is based on 12 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, which has been reached with 12 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.
