Lansglade provided excellent care to our father and to ourselves when we visited. All the staff were professional and caring. As his health and general condition declined his needs were met with kindness and consideration. Thank you everyone, you were great and helped us through a difficult time. We
greatly appreciate your care.

My first impression of Lansglade House on my initial visit was impressive it was spotlessly clean and the residents all seemed happy and the staff were attentive and compassionate. The manager was extremely helpful and I left feeling very positive, My mother has been at Lansglade house now for only
two months but already we have noticed a huge improvement in her mental wellbeing. She is a lot happier and engaging with her family and fellow residents.
My overall rating for Lansglade house would be a big 10/10.

My dad was treated with the utmost compassion and dignity in his last days at the home. The care given was amazing, and visiting night or day was given without question. The staff were so accommodating and very professional in there care, not only for my dad but for all the residents in the home. I
cannot thank Lansglade enough from all my family I would recommend Lansglade house to anyone looking for a caring home.

Brilliant Summer Party at Lansglade this afternoon. I haven't seen my Mum so happy and animated in ages. She loved it. Great to hear all the old songs, the staff got all the residents joining in. Congratulations to the manager and all her fantastic staff. A real treat for everyone. X

My father came to Langsglade House for a period of respite. The reason we choose this care home was for the ethos of care, treating his as a person, getting to know him and making him feel as though he could belong there and amongst caring staff and friends. My dad is a difficult person, but this did
not phase the wonderful manager and caring staff. I hope one day he will return for good.

The acid test when choosing a care home, is when you get a whiff of stale pee on entering. Not the care home extremely clean, residents, well cared for.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Having just taken part in a fantastic 'Victory in Europe' party at the care home, I feel I must write to commend the entire staff on their professionalism and enthusiasm at yet another great event. Having recently noted the naturally declining health of my elderly father in law and his increasing desire
to stay in bed, it was just wonderful to see him up and about singing and tapping along to the songs. He never stopped smiling and laughing with the professional singer and the 'mad cap' dancing staff in their fancy dress. The many events that the home offers clearly unites the residents and it is evident that they have a genuine bond with their carers. Led by the super enthusiastic management team and supported by the completely balmy chef, I have nothing but praise for the whole team, my heartfelt thanks to you all.

Mum has been at Lansglade House for 9 months now and they've helped her (and us) in so many ways through her dementia journey.
It's not been an easy journey for anyone but the staff are so kind and caring.

On walking through the front door the home felt alive and vibrant. Welcoming, like walking into my home. The whole place was clean and well maintained with happy and communicative staff who engaged with the residents and responded quickly to any alarms.
Mum was found to have infections on day one
which were treated before we knew of it. They help and support mum brilliantly.

Dad has been at Landsglade for over three years now and I cannot fault the care and the love and attention that all the staff give to Dad.
Recently, Dad's been quite poorly. I can honestly say the carers got us through what was a really tough time and made it a much easier time.
They truly are wonderful
people.

The family will be eternally grateful for the exceptional care given to our Mother during her time at Langsglade House. The amazing staff have been kind, gentle, and respectful and have enjoyed Mum's sense of humour with genuine affection. From the beginning to the end of her stay. We were never in
doubt that she was in the safest of hands.

My wife came this week to your care home from the local hospital, she is suffering from dementia
It was nice to find such wonderful care staff and management. They gave us both lunch and it was second to none.
The management and all the staff are always jolly and there if needed doing their job with
pride and skill. My wife is there for 6 weeks and I know I can go home knowing she is in safe hands.
Bless you all.

The staff are so thoughtful and patient with the residents. They show compassion and understanding with new residents adjusting to a big life change. Residents are encouraged to be as independent as they can. Staff have also been a great help to me in understanding Mum's needs and to me adjusting to
the change in circumstances.

I have found the staff to be really friendly and professional. My father has had a difficult journey post-fall, and Lansglade House has helped him find his new normal.
The care home manager has been fantastic and leads the staff from the front. Always helpful, and nothing is ever too much; thank you,
everyone.

My grandma recently turned 100 and has been a resident at Lansglade House for over 5 years. We are all very reassured by the excellent care she receives there. Her room is clean and she is calm and content. She is very frail and limited but her changing care needs have been managed very well by a stable
and attentive staff team.

Brilliant experience with Lansglade House.
Dad is so well cared for.
His accommodation is clean and tidy.
There is always someone around when Dad gets anxious.
But what sets Lansglade aside from anywhere else, in my experience, is the empathy, compassion and dedication of its colleagues.
As Dad's
dementia progresses, the management has recently with my sister and I. They have patiently taken us through his notes and recent history so that we can make the very best decisions for our dad. It gives us confidence and security.
This place sets a standard of compassionate loving care through a very difficult period of its resident's lives.
I love this place, and most of all, the people who work here.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.841)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.841) out of 10 for Lansglade House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.841 for Lansglade House is calculated as follows: ( (221 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 258 Ratings = 4.841
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Lansglade House is based on 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 31 registered maximum number of service users is 6.2, which has been reached with 22 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
