Langdon House continues to ensure there residence are looked after to the greatest standard at all times, the carers are all friendly and approachable, the introduction of the residence/carers 1 to 1 scheme is a great idea, my mothering law now has a formal point of contact if she has any problems.
The
activities team set up some amazing activities and residence outing's
My mothering law loved gardening prior to moving into Langdon House, she now spends time in the garden with other residence, with the help of the carers she has even started doing simple task like watering, weeding etc
Langdon House is under going some refurbishment activities so is really starting to look amazing with new furniture and some redecoration activities
The management team continue to be extremely helpful and accommodating, nothing is ever too much trouble

Langdon House looks after my gran well. She doesn't generally like attending events. The team get her engaged in events. The team really care and look after the residents well and with dignity. From the moment you enter the home the team are really friendly and helpful. the staff on reception are always

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5

1. On the day we arrived we was told room 20 had been deep cleaned, I opened the wardrobe door to find it full of deceased residents clothes, shoes, all belongings.
2. The first evening the night carer arrived and was very quick to tell us how she was leaving and "couldn't wait to get out of this
place" Didn't fill us with much confidence.
3. We arrived next day and questioned why Dads bed had been changed to be told "he must have messed it" something he has never done before from that day to Dads leave date the same bedding remained on his bed.
4. Most annoyed that we was sent a message on dads first full day by a member of the team, telling us that Dad had a good night which was a lie, and was led to believe he had gone to join in with activities when after enquiring he had not participated or even taken to do them.
5. Me + my partner had to attend everyday after that as we did not feel out loved one was being cared for properly.
A. Lack of fluids.
B. Food below standards
C. Not encouraged to eat
D. Lack of staff
To many problems to list on the day of Dads leaving. We packed his stuff and cleaned his room to find medication he was given in his pockets and under his bed, this suggests to me that a man with Dementia was not even watched while being given medication that was very important. This is the end of my review and will be contacting CQC regarding out experience of Langdon Care Home. When I asked the care home manager why all of this was allowed to happen whilst in their care she blamed the staff, I told her it was not the staff or lack of, it was down to the fact that so long as the boxes were ticked she actually didn't have a clue what was happening in Langdon Care Home. To many management doing not a lot and understaffed on the floor, not any of them helped with staff issues.

The staff did their utmost to make sure my 94-year-old mother could attend my daughter's wedding, despite her needing to be seen by paramedics on the morning. I just feel they need to be valued and paid more for the care and duties they have, plus more staff needed at certain times of the day.

Incredible place! From the very first meeting to today, the Langdon House team have been exceptional. The level of care for residents is above and beyond and the team are wonderful and enormous fun. The communication with family is brilliant, from calls and emails to the app and in person. The facilities
are modern, light, airy and ideal for my mum. We transferred from another care home and could not be happier. Huge thanks to the Langdon House team!

I spent ten days in Langdon House to recover from a knee replacement operation before returning to my flat, where I live. I liked: Kind, friendly staff and my comfortable and quiet room. I did not like: No shower available, although I asked several times and would not have needed help. The food: Too
much starch and not nearly enough fresh veg and fruit. Meals were not healthy or appetising, despite the write-up in the brochure. Breakfast is especially poor.

I viewed three other care homes prior to choosing Langdon House. As you enter Langdon, you feel welcome. I love the light layout. The rooms are bright, and I love the large windows in all the rooms. The staff have always welcomed me and respected my views. I am involved in my mother's care. The manager
is caring and understanding. The staff are lovely, and my mother loves her carers. The housekeepers are excellent and keep the home lovely and clean.

My mother has been a resident since January 2017 and has benefitted tremendously from the atmosphere and care at Langdon House. Staff are warm-hearted and well-informed and treat residents as the individuals that they are. I am kept well informed if any issues arise, and if I have any questions, I receive
a prompt response. Overall, Langdon House has exceeded my expectations, and I would warmly recommend the level and type of care and support available.

1. After meals residents are not always assisted in cleaning food from clothing.
2. Flooring in residents' room often feels sticky as if it has not been cleaned properly.
3. Resident wardrobe is cluttered with storage of excessive amounts of incontinence pads.
4. Medication is not always given correctly,
although we do get informed of these discrepancies.

Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear that there are aspects of dissatisfaction in our service at times and I would encourage that you bring these to the attention of the home manager who will act on these at the time they occur.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.402)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.402) out of 10 for Langdon House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.402 for Langdon House is calculated as follows: ( (161 Excellents x 5) + (59 Goods x 4) + (28 Satisfactorys x 3) + (11 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 261 Ratings = 4.402

  • 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 Langdon House is based on 17 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 52 registered maximum number of service users is 10.4, which has been reached with 17 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.
