Mum has settled into Old School House very well. She's much happier living there now. She no longer feels lonely. We can see a big difference in her now. We liked its a smaller home for her so it feels more cosy. We know she is safe and well looked after. Staff/management are helpful and friendly. Lunch and dinner always smells delicious when we go and visit. We are happy so far.
My mother has just recently spent 6 weeks on respite care with the Old School House. Mum has advanced dementia and we were apprehensive as to how she would cope. But she had a wonderful time. She blossomed from the moment she arrived. We saw mum happy, entertained and chatty. The stimulation...
I would definitely recommend the old school house for anyone looking for a carehome for an elderly person.

Thank goodness my auntie is a resident of The Old School House where it is clear to see the high quality care, safe and comfortable environment at this care home. It is always clean and warm and the staff show respect and kindness with daily activities. I often see the GP there checking on the residents needs etc. I was delighted and encouraged to bring my toy poodle along which is lovely for my auntie. What an amazing job the staff do!

My mother resides at the mentioned home and I have to say how much she loves her time at Old School House Longwick. It is a very clean and friendly home with very nice and caring staff. On Sunday 26th Jan 2025 she celebrated her 100th birthday and the home had a very nice party. Mum saw the whole of her family and thoroughly enjoyed the day and buffet. A lovely big cake. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for your review, it is a great pleasure to look after your mum and it was lovely to see you all at the party.

When Mum got to the point that living in her own home was no longer viable, we feel fortunate that we found the Old School House - the staff are very kind and caring, and it has been notable that there has been little turnover in the team over the past year. This has helped Mum to settle and feel looked after, and it says a lot for the staff and management of Old School House because the turnover of carers can so often be a problem in other care situations. We are very appreciative of the care and attention that Old School House delivers.
Mum has had a rocky few weeks one way or another but Old School House have helped mum recover and settle again. Not ideal that mum will be in a care home for Christmas but feel that at least mum will be in good hands.

Dad moved in, in November after a stay in hospital. I haven't seen my dad look so well in a while, food is excellent, tea, snacks on tap. Staff lovely.

When my Mum's respite placement ran into difficulties, upon recommendation I contacted 'The Old School House' to see if they could help. It was all very last minute and I was beyond fortunate they were able to offer her a place. It is a small, intimate home and everybody there could not have been more kind, helpful, and caring of her and supportive of me. Mum was well cared for, respected, and a valued member of the home during her time there and I cannot thank them enough for the care and compassion shown to my Mum.
What a relief to find such a lovely spot. We appreciated the enormous flexibility during Mum's admission. The staff are all so kind. The place feels more homely than others visited. We feel very fortunate to have found this little gem.

Staff are always very friendly, and they treat Mum with great care and dignity. They are also very accommodating when Dad wants to visit. It is a small home, which is what was required for Mum. She always seems very content and looks very tidy and presentable.

It will be very strange not to visit this lovely home where Mum was treated with dignity.
Thank you, Sarah; it was a pleasure to look after your mum. Thank you for the lovely review and kind words.

We had a tour of the Old School House and felt it was the right place for Mum. Family run and only eleven residents, it felt like more of a home than the larger purpose-built facilities we had already visited. The staff are friendly. Dad visits regularly, and despite initial reservations, he is reassured that she is safe and well cared for; they make him welcome and even feed him if he’s there at meal times, and having a sweet tooth, he loves the tea and cake in the afternoon! Mum is a challenging person - dementia is a cruel disease, and we appreciate the patience that is needed to care for her. I would give it 4.5 stars if I could.
The care that my mother receives from all staff at the Old School House is exceptional. All her needs are constantly cared for by very professional staff with a lovely personal touch.

The care that my mother receives from all staff at the Old School House is exceptional. All her needs are constantly cared for by very professional staff with a lovely personal touch. She is very impressed with the food, as I am. Meals are always the highlight of her day. Her room is comfortable, warm and well-equipped. I really can not think of a better place for my mother to be.
It may lack some of the facilities of the larger purpose-built residential homes, but we’ve found the smaller size and personalised approach make up for this,...
We have been very happy with The Old School House and the care it provides for our mum.
Thank you for your lovely review; it's a pleasure to look after your mum.
