Longwood brought the sparkle back to our Mum at a time when she had lost confidence and felt isolated at home. All the activities were just what she needed! If there's a reason to have a celebration they will do, Mum always eager to join in! Residents and families alike always have a voice, deciding
on new things to do or new foods to try for eg. But above all is the care, support, laughter and love that the whole team give each and every day, looking after residents and families alike. They know each and every resident so well and this shines through. The care and support that our Mum and us all as a family have received means the world and we can never thank them enough for allowing us to be a son and daughter again, spending such lovely quality time with our precious Mum and being able to laugh with her and enjoy so many happy moments again. We're so glad that we were lucky enough to find Longwood Lodge and that our Mum and us could become part of such a wonderful and warm family.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff, both daytime and nighttime, in the residential and the nursing suite for the care, comfort and love that was provided for my mother-in-law during the 18 month period of her stay at The Fountains Care Centre. My mother-in-law arrived as a
resident following an intense few months of ill health and hospital stays. After just two weeks, her baseline improved tremendously, enabling her to settle happily into life at The Fountains, where she made friends amongst other residents and indeed the staff. Her room was so pretty and the staff tended to her every need, treating her as an individual, listening to her concerns and encouraging her independent decision making. Eventually, after being diagnosed with Vascular Dementia, her gradual transition into nursing care upstairs was handled impeccably, where she spent her final days surrounded by genuine love from all the staff. For this and much more besides, I will be eternally grateful.

Since my mother entered Longwood Lodge, I have nothing but praise and admiration for all the Team and their dedication to all residents and their families.
From a warm welcome to regular updates and personal attention to care, I have always felt reassured that my mum is in "the right place" and that
there is no need to worry as all communication links are readily available if/when needed.
At times, I have noticed the Team go above and beyond to meet the needs of residents, inparticular when meeting specific dietary needs to appease ongoing demands and requests from residents (or requests from wider family members).

I have been a resident at Longwood lodge for nearly a year now. Everything I have experienced is excellent, the staff, manager, are amazing. I still have my independence and this is valuable to me. My daughter lives across the world and her knowing I'm so well cared for and happy gives her reassurance.
Moving into Longwood has been the best decision I have made. I'm extremely happy here and could not be better looked after. This is my home

As the nephew of a resident at Fountains Care Home in Swinton, I can't speak highly enough of the care and compassion shown to my uncle during his time there. From the moment he arrived, the staff made him (and us as a family) feel completely welcome and supported.


The atmosphere in the home is calm,

warm, and respectful. You can tell that the staff genuinely care - not only are they professional and attentive, but they take the time to get to know each resident personally, treating them with dignity and kindness. My uncle often spoke about how safe and comfortable he felt, and he clearly enjoyed the company of both the team and other residents.


The communication with us as a family was excellent. We were always kept informed and involved in decisions, and staff were always happy to answer questions or offer reassurance when needed.


The home itself is spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained, and feels more like a family home than a facility. The activities and social events were al

Longwood Lodge Care Home

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After being very independent for most of her life, my 103yr old mum decided it was time for her to be moved to a residential home. After viewing many homes in the Oldham area, upon viewing Longwood, my brother and myself decided on Longwood. From the moment we stepped inside, the general relaxed and
comfortable atmosphere was plain to see and the feeling of content was very easily visible. The Manager and her assistant came across as very adept during our introduction to Longwood. Since arriving in late May, I have had a huge weight taken of my shoulders knowing that my mum is extremely happy in a super, caring place , with staff around her showing love and patience for the residents. I've never seen her eat as much as she is such a fussy eater. That's saying something, as my mum has never drank tea, coffee or milk. My compliments to the managers and staff. You are brilliant. Thank you.

My mother has been a resident in The Fountains Care Centre for 18 months and has been happy and settled there. The regular staff are friendly and approachable and have lovely relationships with the residents. There is a culture of transparency, and concerns and requests raised by myself have been dealt
with in a responsive way. I have been impressed with senior staff's knowledge and understanding of dementia and their dealing with medical issues and dispensing medication.

My mother was a resident at Longwood lodge from July 2024 until she passed away on 10th April 2025. Myself and my brother would like say what wonderful care she received being treated with respect and dignity. The Manager was brilliant who kept us up to date every day with mum's general well-being.
The staff were fantastic and nothing was too much trouble for them and they communicated well with relatives. We couldn't have asked for a better place for our mum to be cared for in the last months of her life.

After various hospital admissions, it was decided my dad could no longer manage living alone so I had to look for a suitable care home. On arriving at Longwood lodge I was greeted by friendly happy caring staff who showed us a large room which was exactly what we needed for him. It has been a year since
he was admitted, well what can I say the management team and staff can't do enough for him. The manager goes above and beyond for the residents and families alike nothing is too much trouble for all parties concerned. I would have no hesitation in recommending Longwood Lodge to anyone who is considering a place for their loved ones.

Overall very happy with service provided. Staff on Lowry very caring, attentive, compassionate (days). Activities would have been marked as poor but on Wednesday (11/12) was a huge success and big improvement, much laughter on Lowry. Occasionally disappointed with night staff as I can come in some morning
and my wife has not been attended to by night staff.

Mum has been at The Fountains since 2021 and sadly passed away on 26th August 2024. During Mum's time at The Fountains we have shared a few difficult times with management and staff but none as difficult as Mum's passing. I cannot praise everyone enough for the way we were treated over the long weekend
leading up to Mum's passing. We spent the weekend with Mum and the staff were fabulous. Nothing was too much trouble. We were given advice, guidance, love and support which helped us immensely. The care they gave to Mum at this sad time was 'second to none' and Mum passed away peacefully. Thank you to each and every one at The Fountains. Carry on your good work

Cannot thank the staff at The Fountains enough for all the care, kindness and compassion they show Mum.
Mum recently had to move care homes due to a care home closure, which caused a lot of unrest and upset with the family, however, we could not have wished for a better placement. The bedrooms are
lovely & homely, Mum actually sleeps in her bed - something that she rarely did previously. The lounges are airy and bright, and the food/choice of food is very good.
What makes The Fountains so good is the staff - reception staff, management, domestic staff, and wonderful carers, everyone clearly enjoys looking after the residents and ensuring their needs are met. They know just 'how to handle' the residents and make them feel safe.
Nothing is too much trouble, even when we phoned every day when Mum first went there, we were never made to feel a nuisance and were encouraged to ring and check on Mum knowing how worrying it can be for families placing Mum in a new setting.

My mum moved here from another care home 6 months ago and the change in her is wonderful, she engages with both staff and other residents in the lovely communal area. After her initial settling in teething problems due to her dementia, I am very pleased that she has adapted so well. The home is still
undergoing some refurbishment but all that is positive and makes the environment very pleasing.
