This is the second residential care home my mother in law has lived in. Whilst lower cost than the first, the care, ambience, staff engagement and overall experience at Longfield is dramatically better. This is a low rise, low density, low stress care home. Lots of space, easy access to secure outdoor fresh air and great food means I and my wife are completely relaxed leaving my Mother in Law in the care of the Longfield team. Congratulations Team Longfield. You are all stars.
Thank you for your kind words. We are glad that your mother-in-law is happy in our home.

We had a lovely Sunday lunch with Dad on Father's Day. Lamb and all the trimmings. It's great we are still able to share these lovely memories in welcoming surroundings. Everyone is so kind and caring and compliments to the chef.

My mum has been a resident at Longfield since June 2023, and I am so happy with the care she receives. Whenever I visit, the staff and residents are cheerful, and there is such a lovely atmosphere. The staff are caring and supportive and go out of their way to cater for her needs. They have lots of different activities going on, from music to crafts and gentle exercise that can be enjoyed if the resident chooses. Communication is excellent, and her care is reviewed and discussed with me on a regular basis. The meals are freshly prepared on-site and are of a high standard. She sees the hairdresser, chiropodist, dentist and optician who visit the home. She has been able to personalize her room with some of her own furniture and belongings, which helped the transition from living in her previous bungalow. I would highly recommend Longfield.
Thank you for your kind words about the care we provide for your mum. We are glad you are happy you chose Longfield.

I started my career in care in 1999 after studying Science and Health Studies at college. Throughout my career, I have worked in nursing and residential homes, supporting older people with disabilities and dementia, and their families.
In the past, I have supported members of my own family through illness. This experience ignited my passion for working in care and ensuring that every resident receives the compassion, care and support they deserve. I have worked within the Excelcare group since 2015 in several roles, progressing to Home Manager and completing a level 5 diploma in care management. I have managed Longfield since 2014 and am very committed to this home.
I am very proud of our home and the fantastic team I work with. I am passionate about team member development and love supporting colleagues to improve their knowledge and progress in their careers.
I enjoy gardening, walking, skiing, and spending time with my family in my spare time.
I joined Longfield Care Home as an experienced care assistant in 2014. I quickly progressed to the role of Team Leader, and then in 2018 became...
I joined Longfield Care Home as an experienced care assistant in 2014. I quickly progressed to the role of Team Leader, and then in 2018 became Deputy Manager.
I have completed level 2 and 3 diplomas in care, and I am currently completing the level 5 diploma in care management. My two specialities are Dementia Care and Parkinson’s Disease care. I have completed qualifications in both these subjects, and I am accredited to lead teaching sessions in Parkinson’s Disease and Dementia Care.
My favourite part of the job is getting to know residents and their families and building a connection with people. I also like to continually learn and improve my knowledge through training and working closely with other professionals.
In my spare time, I enjoy walking my two dogs and family get-togethers, particularly summertime BBQs.
