The staff are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and a good size with a small bathroom. I am glad my father is in this home as he needed to be taken care of 24/7 which I was unable to do any more.

My father-in-law came to Longview in February after previously being very unwell in hospital. His health has improved dramatically, he loves living there. The staff are very helpful and polite. He goes to their day centre. Longview is a great home with great staff.

My mother has been a resident for nearly 6 years at Longview. Throughout her stay the carers at Longview have treated her with dignity and have ensured her health and well-being and keep her comfortable at all times. Furthermore, when my father became terminally ill, Longview were quick to accommodate him to ensure his final stages of life were with my mother in close proximity. The staff are also very polite and courteous.
Since being at Longview my mum has been very happy and well cared for. She loves the food and her general health seems much improved. The staff are very approachable and caring and the family have no complaints about her care.

She is never alone for long, always a smiling face to make sure she is alright or if she needs anything.
I am very happy that Mum is in this home for her care and if she could I am positive Mum would say the same.
I found the staff excellent. Everybody has always got a smile on their face and nothing is too much to do. I know my friend is in good hands and is being well looked after. She tells me the food is excellent.

Hello, my name is Jean Pierre.
I am the Deputy Manager at Longview, having recently joined Runwood Homes. Although I am still new to the company, I have felt very welcomed by the team. In my role, it’s incredibly important to me that our staff feel just as cared for as our wonderful residents. Supporting one another is key to creating a happy and positive environment for everyone.
Outside of work, I’m someone who enjoys life and stays active. I love cooking, running, music, travelling, and watching action movies, but most of all, I treasure spending time with my family.

My name is Chloe. I’ve been part of the Longview family for 12 years, starting as a carer, moving on to care team leader, and now serving as a Unit...
My name is Chloe. I’ve been part of the Longview family for 12 years, starting as a carer, moving on to care team leader, and now serving as a Unit Manager.
For me, the most important thing is ensuring that our residents feel well cared for, happy, and safe. I’m passionate about creating a positive and fun environment with my team, knowing that a joyful atmosphere makes all the difference. When our residents are smiling and content, I know I’ve done my job right.
I once managed a whirlwind trip to Milan for Christmas shopping—there and back in just one day!
I love spending time with my two daughters and partner. Travel is a big part of my life; I enjoy holidays abroad the most, but I’m just as happy with a relaxing weekend getaway.

Hi, I’m Stephen! I’ve been part of the Longview family for 14 years, starting as a carer, then working in activities, and now proudly serving as a Care Team Leader.
For me, the most important thing is ensuring that our home remains the fun and loving place that our amazing residents deserve. Person-centred care is a value I hold close to my heart, and I strive to make every day special for those we care for.
I’m currently training to become a minister for the Church of England. This journey is deeply meaningful to me, and it’s a privilege to explore my faith and service in this way.
Outside of work, I cherish time with my mum and family. Recently, I’ve taken up birdwatching—a fascinating and peaceful hobby. I love diving into books and articles about different bird species and then heading into nature to spot them in the wild.
I’m passionate about making a difference every day, whether it’s through my work at Longview or my spiritual journey.

My name is Jessica. With almost 16 years of experience at Runwood Homes, I have had the privilege of working in various roles, starting as a carer, then moving on to CTL, and now as a Lifestyle Coordinator. My passion lies in ensuring that our residents and their families have access to exciting and engaging events and activities, giving them plenty to look forward to. I take pride in planning special themed days and memorable bus trips, always tailoring them to the unique interests of each resident. A person-centred approach is key, especially when it comes to activities, and I believe it’s crucial in providing the best care.
One of my most memorable moments was attending my first concert at just 8 years old to see Simply Red live!
Outside of my work, I love spending time with my son, family, and friends. I’m an avid cinema-goer, having seen over 67 films in 2024 alone. I’m also passionate about running and am part of a local running club. This year, I’ve completed 11 races in just 9 months!

My name is Debbie, and I am the new Administrator for Longview. I joined in September 2025, having previously worked as an administrator at the local Golf course and had a previous career in the banking industry.The most important part of my role is to ensure the staff, residents, and their families feel supported within the home, and can contribute to the residents' well-being, also to ensure the staff are fully supported, with training and development, which, along with their hard work and dedication, helps provide the smooth running of the home.
I love to visit Florida on my holidays, and enjoy spending the weekends with all my family and my Grandchildren.
