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.

Dad has been at Lansglade for just over six months and his care needs have become more complex. The support the Lansglade team have provided him and us is outstanding. The team's expertise and empathy are truly excellent. They keep us informed at all times and Dad is happier than he has been for years.
I can't thank the manager and team enough.

My mother stayed here following a month in hospital. The Manager and the team are very professional and kept our family up to date with the processes, what to expect and ongoing progress. The Activities Coordinator arranges great activities and takes time with each resident. All the staff are kind,
compassionate, and caring and treat their residents with respect.

My stepmother spent her remaining months at Lansglade House Care Home. The care and attention given to her by staff were exemplary. Although unable to fully communicate, she was obviously very comfortable with the staff and surroundings. They looked after her so well with great care an dignity. Thank

Mum has been resident at Lansglade House Care Home for some years now and, as a family, we continue to be very grateful that a room was available to her after being discharged from hospital. She is most definitely a member of the Lansglade family and held in genuine affection by the caring, friendly
and helpful staff, many of whom have been at Lansglade for many years. Despite being confined to bed now, as she nears the end of her life, she is still involved in everyday activities which are adapted to her interests and capacity. Mum is safe and content. We couldn't ask for more.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.767)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.767) 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 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.767 for Lansglade House is calculated as follows: ( (254 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 305 Ratings = 4.767
  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 25 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 25 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.
