Miranda Mead is Care Home Manager at Lansdowne Care Home.
What makes the resident experience at Lansdowne so special? We believe it’s our real sense of ‘family’ that has kindness, friendliness and respect right at its heart.
Our team provides 24-hour nursing care for people with a wide range of needs including the frail elderly with very high dependency and those living with dementia*. We also offer short respite stays* to give home carers a well-earned break. In every case we’re here to provide all the care each person’s own family could wish for.
Lansdowne is conveniently situated in a residential area close to local shops and other amenities including Cricklewood railway station. All areas of our home are fresh and cheerful with a choice of lively or quiet communal spaces where residents can relax with each other or sit with family and friends.

| Activities Are So Important |
|---|
|
Another way we can help our residents to feel at home is for them to do familiar things. So our dedicated Activities Leaders gently encourage residents to carry on doing things they enjoy. If someone had a hobby or pastime they did before they arrived, we’ll encourage them to continue it with us. Or perhaps they may like to learn something new. The important thing is that we treat every resident as an individual. If they enjoy sharing time with others, either in our home or on an organised trip out, they’re most welcome. Or, if they prefer quiet time alone, we’ll respect that too. |
