It’s these personal touches that make mealtimes at Lauriston care home so special. Menus are freshly prepared each day and designed with residents’ input to reflect familiar favourites and new tastes.
Residents look forward to hearty lunches, creative desserts, and special celebrations, where food takes centre stage.

When you think of a care home, what springs to mind?
Life at Lauriston is always engaging with activities that cater to every interest and ability. Music plays an important role with our two pianos to accompany music therapy for residents living with dementia and sensory Namaste activities to stimulate and soothe. We have our own minibus for fun days outside of the home, including trips to the local garden centre and the panto at Christmas.
We work hard to preserve links with our local community and invite family and friends to join in our fancy dress parties, karaoke nights, and seaside-themed days. From lively parties to visits from St Leonard’s Academy choir, every day offers residents opportunities to connect, create, and make memories.
