My mum has been going to Long Brook as a day care patient one day a week and has recently stayed for a week to give me respite. I can highly recommend this amazing home. The staff are so welcoming, caring and supportive. My mum loved the activities and her time spent with the other residents and the
brilliant Long Brook team. . I have looked at other care homes but Long Brook is simply the best. It has a homely and warm feel that provides the best possible care in a safe environment. Carrie the business manager helped me navigate respite and Reece the manager was so helpful in the beginning. I would not put my mum anywhere else. It gives me such peace of mind knowing mum is so happy and well cared for. Thank you to all the wonderful team at Long Brook.

My Mum lived in Yelverton Residential Home for 6 weeks until she passed away on 16th March, this followed a months stay in hospital and for an independently living 88 yr old this was a big change.
From the moment my sisters and I visited the home we knew this was the perfect place. We wanted the
best home, staff and room and we felt we hit the jackpot with all three at The Yelverton.
Mum had the absolute best care, dignity and compassion at the forefront of care, her room immaculately clean, food home cooked and nourishing. And now let me mention the staff, I honestly don't think there are enough words to describe the staff, my Mum and us instantly felt like family, nothing was too much trouble, any additional needs accommodated.
On Mums last days we felt we were cared for as Mum was, surrounded by people who generally cared. Our heartfelt thanks to everyone at The Yelverton, you truly are outstanding.
Reply from Peter Gaffney, Partner at The Yelverton Residential HomeThank you for your kind and positive feedback. We are very sorry for your loss and are grateful that you took the time to share your experience.
Our team works hard to ensure all residents are cared for with dignity, compassion, and respect, and they will be truly pleased to hear your comments. We are very proud of the care they provide and the support they give to both residents and their families throughout their time with us.

My mother in-law has Respite in Longbrook, she absolutely loves going there and enjoys this place so much. She stays 2weeks 3 times a year and if I'm honest we wouldn't put her anywhere else.
Longbrook staff are amazing, very caring, interactive, always supportive and do so much for the service users.
I
would recommend this beautiful happy and safe place to anyone who needs to be cared for.
Reply from Carrie Bailey, Admin Manager at The Long Brook Residential HomeThank you so much for your lovely review. It means a lot to us. I'll make sure to pass your kind words on to the team. We always look forward to welcoming your mother-in-law back. She fits in here so naturally, and it genuinely feels like she's never been away. It's a pleasure to care for her. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience

when Dad needed to go into a care home after we looked after him at his home for 3 years, i was so worried about horror stories i had heard. We looked at 6 homes in and around Plympton so Dad would be close to where i live and work in Plympton.
Long brook came highly recommended by a supplier to them
and also social services plus the lovely feel and first impressions made it an easy choice to make for him.
Staff were always friendly when i visited and Dad was so happy there, he did complain about the food but it would never be the same as when i just cooked for him every day.
all the staff are fantastic there but i have to mention Anna, Vicky and Reece xx
always clean , no call bell constantly ringing and seemingly constant checks on the residents
i cant thank them all enough !!
Reply from Carrie Bailey, Office Manager at The Long Brook Residential HomeThank you so much for this lovely review. We understand how difficult the decision can be to move into a care home, and we're truly grateful that you entrusted us with your dad's care. Our priority is always to make The Long Brook feel like a real home-not just for the people we support, but for their families as well. I will make sure to pass your kind words on to the whole team. Your dad will certainly be missed here.

Mum has lived at Longbrook res home for more than 4 yrs
She has received excellent care and attention from all staff at Longbrook who with us have reassessed her as her needs changed over time leading to changes in her care plan .
The home is lovely; the environment is very comfortable, but , most
of all it is the super staff who make the home by providing Mum with excellent care, meeting her physical and psychological needs.
The team at Longbrook support Mum with her day/night care needs, provide good meals and keep the home clean and tidy, maintaining and renovating the home and organising stimulating activities. It is a happy home.
We are delighted that Mum lives at Longbrook.
Reply from Carrie Bailey, Admin Manager at The Long Brook Residential HomeThank you so much for your kind words EH, I will pass this back to our team. It's a pleasure looking after mum, she is a dear lady and the family are always a welcome sight within the home and are certainly part of our team. Thank you for all your expertise and help with our activities programme over the years too!

My mother spent four years at the Yelverton Residential Home and was very well looked after. She settled in quickly and often praised the level of care given to her saying that nothing was too much trouble for the staff. In the last few days before my mother died in her room at the home it was a huge
comfort to me to know that she was being so well cared for, and I had confidence that my mother would be looked after in the best possible way. I am very grateful to all who were working there at the time and I have recommended the home to several people.
Reply from Peter Gaffney, Partner at The Yelverton Residential HomeThankyou for review. We are pleased with the positive feedback.

Mum has been in Yelverton twice now for respite and I have to say she really enjoyed her stays .. Staff are very caring and friendly to both myself and Mum ..
She loves the entertainment she says she has a good laugh..
Also she enjoys the food ..
In Mums words she says " It's like staying in
a hotel "
Got to say it's a relief to know I can leave her and she is happy..
Thanks to all

The Long Brook residential home was the perfect find for our dear mum. The minute we stepped through the door on our first viewing, we knew it was a homely home. Mum enjoys the activities when she wants to join in with the other residents or when she wants her quiet time. She enjoys the view from her
room. The manager and all the team are friendly and professional. The lovely homemade food is another aspect that makes Long Brook a great choice.
Reply from Carrie Bailey, Admin Manager at The Long Brook Residential HomeThank you for this lovely review. I'm glad to hear that your mum is settled and happy living here with us. Our team works hard to ensure it's a place they can truly call home.

This care home is excellent. My mother has settled in well and made friends with other residents. Thestaff are all friendly and helpful. The food is all homemade and very good. Her room is lovely with a wonderful view from Monday to Friday. The gardens are well laid out and accessible. The home is very
clean. I would choose to live here if I needed residential care.

The care provided for mum was excellent, the staff were all friendly, approachable and helpful. The whole process, from the initial enquiry, the visit, admission and admin. were all dealt with in an understanding and sympathetic manner. Mum was very happy with the location, her room, facilities, activities
and care provided by all of the staff. I have no hesitation in recommending Long Brook.

It was Mum's first time away for us. She was apprehensive but the staff put her at ease. She had a problem with her blood pressure meds but the staff and doctor sorted it out. She had a fright on her first night but it was sorted and no more trouble. Everyone was very kind and gentle with her and she
felt safe and cared for. Hopefully she can visit again in May. Thank you to everyone who looked after Mum.
Reply from Carrie Bailey, Admin Manager at The Long Brook Residential HomeThank you for this kind review. We are glad Mum felt safe and happy during her first stay with us. We will look forward to welcoming her back in the future.

My mother has been here for just over 12 months and she is very happy. The standard of care given is very high. Each time I visit the same staff are on duty which is paramount in continuity of care. The food is of a high standard and the fact my mother has a small appetite is always observed and she
enjoys her meals. The standard of cleanliness is top class (her room is always spotless) as is that of the laundry. None of my mother's clothing has been lost or misplaced. I looked after my mother full-time before she went into care and I have total peace of mind of the care she receives at The Yelverton which is a great comfort to my mum and myself.
Reply from Peter Gaffney, Partner at The Yelverton Residential HomeThank you for the positive feedback. Our team will appreciate your comments - they do a great job.. We are really pleased that Mum is happy at our Home.

Really pleased with the care my mother receives at Longbrook. It's taken a lot off my mind, knowing that she is safe and well there.
One of the plus points is the activities that she is able to attend. She loves them and wishes they were available at weekends too! The staff are really friendly and
she enjoys her little chats with them. They listen to her, which is important.
Her health needs are well catered for. Overall a wise decision to place her there.
