Welcome to Lakenham
Lakenham is housed in a building that once served as the residence of the Duchess of Manchester. Today, it offers residential and day care, together with long-term, respite and convalescent care, usually for older people.
The atmosphere is relaxed and homely. Staff work to promote a genuine sense of community while helping each resident feel safe, comfortable and respected.
Making a move easier
Choosing a care home can be a difficult and emotional decision. The team understands the uncertainty that residents and families may experience and is committed to making the transition easier. Questions are always welcome, whether from a prospective resident, family member, friend or representative.
Our Christian foundation
Lakenham has a sound Christian foundation, expressed through respect for human life, the dignity and worth of every individual and a true sense of care. Residents are free to take part in religious activities or not, according to their own beliefs and preferences.
