A local primary school is visiting the home once a week. A small group of year sixes comes and plays games like dominoes with the old people or use craft materials to make decorations for Christmas.

So a big thank you to all the lovely staff at Longfield.
My Mum's partner of nearly thirty years has Alzheimer's. We found Longfield by chance really. We think the care that he has received has been excellent. We are very happy with the way he is treated by the staff. There are always activities for residents to participate in.

I have only had the chance to meet up with my Mother-in-law twice but am going there tomorrow the 21st May. I can't really put into words how lovely to see her happy again. She has been so anxious in the past 2 homes and last week it was lovely to see her in 'her home' and not 'a home'.

Am happy with all the care and safety of my husband who was cared for with dignity by carers. Carer today when leaving was most helpful to me. Thank you all.

I had no experience of Longfields before I came over a year ago now but I have been pleasantly surprised at how helpful and caring the staff are. I think upon Longfield now as my permanent residence and home.

As a family, we hold a great memory of care provided for my late father who was a resident for 2 years. Sadly passing away 14/12/17. The staff and management at Longfield are all commendable in their level of care shown to residents in a home that feels very much as it should "A Home" where family feel welcome and confident that their loved one is treated well and with dignity. We cannot thank you all for the excellent manner in which you first and foremost cared for my father.

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.
