The Lawn is a residential care home located close to the market town of Alton in Hampshire. It is one of nine care homes run by the not-for-profit charity Friends of the Elderly.

The Lawn has a great reputation for being the best care home in the area and I am delighted that my mum is there.

With movie nights, exercise groups, trips out and family days in the garden, The Lawn has an active social calendar and we encourage everyone to get involved.
As a Georgian period house, this beautiful building has a sheltered courtyard and garden to relax in.
All of our meals are freshly prepared by our catering staff – making a range of nutritious meals to enjoy.
Our well-trained and compassionate team are specialists in providing residential care and pride themselves on making The Lawn feel like home.
“Caring for others runs in my family. My Mum is a Nurse and my Dad is a Paramedic, so I was very fortunate to grow up in a very caring environment; it really spurred me on to follow a career in caring.
I have worked in the Care Sector for nine years, five of those with Friends of the Elderly, becoming the Care Home Manager at The Lawn in 2020. Each member of The Lawn Team is devoted to keeping each resident safe, happy, inspired and motivated, every day.
We support and work with our residents to be engaged and stimulated, by taking part in our wide and varied activities, having a chat and reminiscing over a cup of tea or taking a stroll around our gardens.
At The Lawn, we have a very open, caring, supportive and positive culture and a happy and loving environment. We really are a family. It is a home, not a care home and together our residents and team are one big happy family.”
All our care homes use technology such as electronic care planning and acoustic listening to keep our residents safe.
We have a devoted property team who work to keep our homes safe and secure.
We run a Dementia Education Programme in partnership with Worcester University, to ensure our staff know how to best support our residents living with dementia.
We provide regular training around Infection Prevention Control, and we are Covid Wise.
We are proud that many of our staff have worked with us for over 20 years, allowing us to provide consistent care teams to best support our residents.
Fees are based on an assessment of your individual care needs and will be calculated following a visit. Our fees at The Lawn start from £1,465 per week.
