From the very first meeting with management, I felt relieved and reassured that Lansglade would be the right place for Dad. As Dad's primary carer, they understood the huge step it was for me to make the difficult decision for Dad to move into a care setting and kindly and carefully guided us through
the process. The most important thing for Dad now is to feel cared for, safe, and valued and this is exactly what he gets at Lansglade House. The family feel of Lansglade and the genuine care and compassion of the wonderful staff there (shown not just to Dad but to the whole family) has been and continues to be above and beyond my expectations. Dad's advanced dementia presents challenges at times and the staff handle this with skill and care, ensuring that Dad's emotional, as well as physical, needs are met, helping him feel valued, calm, happy, and entertained. I feel 100% confident that Dad is in the right place, with a fantastic team to look after him. Highly recommended.

This is a wonderful place for my father-in-law. He is happy and secure here.


There is a real culture of care here. I just love to see the staff having fun and laughing with the residents, and being caring if they are having difficulties.


The manager and staff go above and beyond for him. They

have acted as knowledgeable and dogged advocates to ensure he gets what's in his best interest from the various services and departments involved in his complex health issues.


This is a relatively small place and feels as much like a real home as is possible. I'm so happy we have found Langslade House.

From the first day, my dad went into Lansglade House, I was confident that he would be happy there and well looked after. This has proved true, and then some... The whole team are simply fantastic, very hard-working, and professional, though with such a strong focus on care and quality of life. The
staff have made every effort to understand my Dad, his history and background, to ensure they can help him in the best way possible. There have been some challenging times, which required careful liaison with external medical teams, that have been managed remarkably well. As primary carers for my Dad, they know him best and have greatly influenced medical decisions to my his benefit.
Whenever I call the House or make a visit, I'm always greeted by a smile and warmth. They always have time for a quick chat or a more lengthy discussion. I cannot thank the Manager and staff enough, and strongly recommend this home to others. Thank you!

Our mum has been at Lansglade now for quite a few months. The staff have been so caring and supportive and patient in caring for all her needs. It is so nice to have updates on how she is and the odd photo is lovely and reassuring to us. Mum loves all the meals provided for her saying herself "the meals
are lovely here". All we can say is the manager and team are great and make us feel welcome. Definitely recommend Langsglade House.

My nan has been at Lansglade House for several months now. She suffers from extreme anxiety and can be particularly difficult but I have been so impressed with the care she has received here. All the staff are very patient, calm and attentive of her needs. The manager and the team always keep our family
updated with how Nan is getting on and are reassuring in difficult situations. My nan's mental state has improved and she always mentions that all the staff are nice to her and she enjoys her meals! As a family, we are very grateful to everyone at Lansglade for giving us peace of mind knowing that nan is safe and being looked after.

My dear mum arrived at Lansglade very poorly, all the staff went above and beyond the call of duty to care for Mum.
In the early days of Mum going in, I spoke to a member of the team on a daily basis, they always had time for me. My mum is now well settled and loves everybody there. They're like one
big happy family.

Very good team. Kind and very helpful. My wife is very happy here and so am I.
For my 90th Birthday, I was able to share it with my wife the home decorated the room with Happy Birthday on the wall. I had dinner with her and after that, all the staff came in with a cake and candles, all singing Happy
Birthday.
All the staff have been very kind to me. A very good and happy care home.
Often I have a phone call to see if I am fine and if there anything I need.

My mother-in-law went into Lansglade House as she was unsafe to live on her own. Although she was only in the home for a very short while, my wife and I found the staff very helpful and sympathetic, it was a shame however that we were unable to see her room or the home due to COVID restrictions we could
only go online to see photos etc.

After breaking his hip in February this year my dad (82yrs old) was unable to return home and has needed care after surgery, and has been at Lansglade since March.
Being new to the whole process it was difficult to know what to expect.
We read the online reviews and the CQC rating, all very good.
So we had confidence in the home to look after my dad.
I can only say the care, support and attention my dad has received has exceeded this high standard. The staff at every level do really care about the residents and their wellbeing.
Their dedication and positive attitude is really refreshing and welcomed at a difficult time for all the family.
I’d have no hesitation in recommending the home for any care short or long term.
I’d also be happy to talk to any prospective residents and their families to share our experience. I’m sure this can be arranged via the care home itself.
A first-class caring establishment.

My parents were extremely well looked after at Lansglade House, my mother for a year and my father for four and a half years. We feel that we were very lucky to light on this home where the staff were kind, patient, efficient and caring. The food was excellent and the observation of my parents and swift
response to their needs was very comforting. The staff made efforts to get to know their residents and to talk to them and involve them in the first-class activities provided such as physical exercise, craft, my father loved these sessions and music. They were also very caring of me, not minding however many visits I wanted to make, always welcoming and always keeping me informed. I felt that Lansglade House was my second home sometimes. They also seemed a tight unit between themselves, there was a good atmosphere of support and friendship amongst the staff and I think that high morale says much for the home and its management. I would recommend Lansglade House wholeheartedly.

Both my parents moved into Lansglade a few years ago when my mother needed full-time care. I have been delighted and relieved to witness the kindness and attention they received, and to see (and be kept informed about) how their needs were met, their comfort assured and their dignity respected. I was
always a welcome visitor, given tea and coffee when I arrived - and lunch too on some occasions!
I can't speak highly enough of the wonderful staff and management; the friendly atmosphere and the cheerful attitudes of all who helped to ensure the residents' welfare.
My father needed a couple of stays in hospital and, however good the treatment he received there, I was always anxious for him to return to Lansglade as soon as possible because of the care and individual attention the staff were able to give him in his home. And when my parents, in turn, passed away the staff were also wonderfully kind, concerned and supportive towards our family too.

My grandfather had been a resident at Lansglade for 8 years. He was of sound mind but limited mobility he also had OCD which Lansglade catered for exceptionally! He loved the food (which was very important to him) and the staff were, in his words, his second family! I cannot put into words how wonderful
these people are! They cared for and loved him like their own family, and throughout this pandemic, it gave us total peace of mind that he was well cared for! They did all they could to help us stay in touch with him and he even learnt to FaceTime with help! When we could see him again he looked very well and although he had missed us he was very content with life in Lansglade! I cannot recommend this home and it’s wonderful staff enough! Thank you all!

My brother and I were very happy with the care provided for our father up until his recent death. He was a resident at Langslade House for just over a year. We were kept informed of any changes to his care or medical needs. The staff appeared happy and cheerful and interacted well with the residents
and were attentive to their needs. Visitors were always made welcome.

When I was looking for a residential home for my father-in-law, I felt a huge responsibility at getting the right home for him. I am pleased to say my father-in-law has now been resident at Lansglade House for over 2-years, and I can honestly say he could not be in a better place. The staff/management
are patient, attentive, and I firmly believe they have all the residents best interests at heart. This can also be said of the Langlade cooks and maintenance staff, who is always approachable, friendly and polite. The staff go out their way to make life as comfortable as possible for him, even though with his dementia, he can be challenging at times. Nothing seems to deter the staff from delivering the best care possible. I am always updated/consulted when his care needs, need to be changed, which in these uncertain times and visits more challenging, is really reassuring. Big thanks to you all, you make a fantastic team and you definitely make Lansglade House more like a family home.

My mother moved to Lansglade in September after a fall in July. I was very upset that I couldn’t manage her care at home anymore and was worried that she might not settle in a care home. My mother was initially very unsettled but Lansglade staff always kept me informed of how she was and reassured me
that she would settle in time. Now 6 weeks later my mother is indeed settled, she looks healthy and happy and so well cared for.
The staff are all so kind and caring and I would definitely recommend Lansglade if your loved ones have to move into a care home.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.833)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.833) out of 10 for Lansglade House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.833 for Lansglade House is calculated as follows: ( (198 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 233 Ratings = 4.833

  • b) 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 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 20 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
