Review from Elaine C (Friend of Resident) published on 11 January 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was very impressed with the safe visiting during lockdown. The resident that I visited told me that he had a dog as a companion during the never-ending hours that he has to remain inside Langholme. I think this was so thoughtful to keep him motivated and provide him with a friend. He isn't the most
sociable person so a dog is ideal.
Reply from Maria Browne, Home Manager at Langholme

Thank you so much for your lovely and supportive review. We are delighted you were able to safely visit your friend and are delighted that the dog is able to spend time with him during the day.

My mother has been a resident at Langholme for 2 years and is very settled and cared for. This past year has been difficult for resident, family and staff and Langholme has ensured that we have been kept up to date with the never-ending changes in Covid restrictions, it has been a comfort to know that
Mum is in safe, caring hands. During this time Mum celebrated her 100th birthday and the staff arranged a wonderful party for her, they went above and beyond to mark her birthday.
Reply from Maria Browne, Home Manager at Langholme

Thank you so much for your lovely review. This is really appreciated, particularly at this testing time. I will pass your kind words on to our care team. We were delighted we were all able to share a socially distanced party with your mum on her 100th birthday and she certainly enjoyed her special cake.

We get very little feedback from our relative. She seems happy enough and has no specific complaints. Not sure how appetising the meals are as we never see the menus. On the whole, satisfied. Thank you.

My mother was only in Langholme for nine months but we cannot fault the care she received. She was treated with the utmost dignity and respect. All the staff and management were always extremely polite and friendly when we visited and did their best to make my mother comfortable in the last few weeks
of her life. We would recommend Langholme to anyone who was looking for care for a loved one.

I have been visiting Langholme over the past 5 years, firstly with a relative and now a friend. The staff at Langholme are exceptional, friendly, professional and very caring.
The home is immaculate, always clean and smells great whenever you visit.
Nothing is too much trouble and the care and attention
to our loved ones are second to none.
I would highly recommend Langholme.

My mother is always treated as an individual with dignity. All staff are friendly and helpful when I visit or telephone. The entertainment is varied and my mother enjoys the singing and visits from nursery children. During the Coronavirus, the staff have been excellent and have now arranged garden visits
for us which makes additional work for them.
Reply from Maria Browne, Home Manager at Langholme

Thank you for your review and I’m glad that you find our staff supportive. Hopefully, the children will be able to visit again soon, when safe to do so. I will pass onto my team your kind words.

During this difficult time of the pandemic, the Langholme staff has done everything possible in keeping our loved ones safe. We have gone to bed each night knowing that Mum will have been treated with kindness, dignity, and compassion, as a valued member of her community. The staff has provided wonderful
morale-boosting interactive entertainment, which we have watched on YouTube! One of the stand out qualities of Langholme is that all staff members enjoy what they do. Well done all of you!

I have nothing but praise for all of the staff and management team at Langholme, especially in the way they have dealt with the unprecedented situation in dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic.
Both my sister and I have received regular updates on both of my parent's well-being and state of health during
the lockdown period and we both have enjoyed being able to see our parents in an extremely well run, safe and strictly compliant situation outside in the gardens whilst adhering to the governments social distancing rules.
It's a credit to all the staff responsible for organising these visits.
Thank you all.

When it became clear that my mum needed more care, I was very keen for Mum to find a space at Langholme. Thankfully a room was available and Mum moved in. She has a lovely room and very kind, considerate care from the staff, who already call her by name.

Langholme is very a welcoming and well-run care home. The accommodation is secure and is organised very effectively.
There are spacious and comfortable communal areas for residents to enjoy meals and social interactions, and there are several cosy quiet areas.
The bedrooms benefit from modern en-suite
facilities. Staff are kind, supportive and helpful, not only to Mum but also me.
They share their expertise and provide emotional support during difficult times. They treat residents with respect and genuine fondness.
Family and friends are encouraged to visit regularly, as and when they please; and receive a warm welcome from the receptionist and updates from staff. Key persons share more detailed information as requested and through regular meetings. There is a lovely family atmosphere, and I enjoy my many visits. I know Mum is safe and well cared for.
The gardens are particularly attractive, accessible and residents are encouraged to enjoy time outdoors whenever possible.

My mother was treated with the utmost dignity and care. All staff ensured that as a family we were all supported during her passing and afterwards supported us. The home is well run, clean and rooms can be personalised. The chef makes delicious food and came and checked on Mum and went out of her way
to make something that she fancied. Highly recommend this home.

My Mother was a resident at Langholme between May 2018 and March 2019. I visited her at the home on numerous occasions and got a very well informed impressionism of the level of service provided by the home and the care given to the residents.
I can say that my Mother received an excellent level of
care while she was there. The staff undertook their work in good spirits and were very patient and attentive towards the needs of the residents.
I had constantly good reports about the food also!
Reply from Maria Browne, Home Manager at Langholme

Thank you for sending in your review about the excellent level of care your mother received from us. The home strives to work and live by the values of MHA. The positive feedback shows that we reinforce the importance of these values. I will ensure that the feedback you gave about the food will be shared with the chef and her team. I will also be sharing your positive comments to all the staff where this will be very welcomed and is a real motivation to the team.

Very pleased to see how the team interacted with Mum. I was delighted to see the gentle approach, the way Mum was coaxed to enjoy lunch, not left to her own devices.
First name used all the time with warmth and 'affection'.
I was welcomed and made comfortable, nothing was too much trouble.
It looked
so 'natural.

As the husband of a resident, it is important to be kept involved in treatments and likely effects of the same. I visit Langholme every day and am allowed to make any enquiries my wife maybe displaying in her everyday behaviour pattern. My observations and responses from staff never fail to impress.
The pleasure and warmth they give to the residents and relatives, even to the most demanding of requests or needs. The management and support teams always provide first class service to keep the complex running smoothly. Well done all.

Who would have thought about going to visit my elderly aunt in a care home would be so much fun!! There is always something going on at Langholme and the staff actively encourage the residents to join in in any way they can.
My aunt enjoys music therapy in particular and when we visited this week
we were able to join in. The Grans and Tots weekly event is also excellent. The residents are able to interact with babies and young children and the joy this brings is clear for all to see.
Well done Langholme - Best care home ever!! x

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.683)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.683) out of 10 for Langholme is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.683 for Langholme is calculated as follows: ( (84 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.683
  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 Langholme is based on 10 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 10 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.
