Review from Margaret B (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 June 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Good variety of food. Approachable, caring staff. Sometimes I need to get the manager if Mum has been waiting more than 15 minutes to be hoisted to go to the toilet.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff at Langdon House are very caring and my mother seems very content with the situation. The home is a very welcoming place, being well decorated, light and airy. The meals are suitably varied and very appetising.

Review from Julie B (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 September 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I can't begin to say how happy I am that my mum has been lucky enough to take up residence in Langdon House.
From the moment you walk through the door, you realise what an 'uplifting' place this is...so many smiles and happy faces from both staff and residents alike.
My mum suffers from a mild dementia
but she's had no anxiety from moving from her home into this very 'caring' environment.
She's SO much happier being there, and we (her family) feel relieved that she is being looked after really well, gets her medication on time and is being stimulated daily by all the staff/other residents and all the activities that go on there.
Everywhere is clean and tidy and doesn't have the nasty smell that is so often associated with care homes.
They are a superb example of a care home done REALLY well. I have nothing but respect for them, for what they are achieving there, which is happiness and respect for the elderly. This should be the case in ALL care homes in this country.
Reply from Clare Robinson, Home manager at Langdon House

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.442)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.442) out of 10 for Langdon House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.442 for Langdon House is calculated as follows: ( (202 Excellents x 5) + (74 Goods x 4) + (32 Satisfactorys x 3) + (11 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 321 Ratings = 4.442
  2. 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 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 22 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
