The home is very clean and tidy and the staff are extremely friendly and caring. My Mum has been well and truly pampered by the staff and this is in the face of the adversities Alzheimer's brings. This home was and is by no means the cheapest option but the phrase “you get what you pay for” has never
been more pertinent. Thank you to all involved.
Reply from Maria Browne, Home Manager at Langholme

Thank you for taking the time to send in your feedback which will be much appreciated by the staff team.

My Mother has dementia, and we were quite worried about how she would cope. She loves it, she now has a social life, music therapy etc. The carers and all the staff have become her extended family, it has made me a lot more relaxed as I know she is well looked after and I can visit any time. It really
a 'home from home'.
Reply from Maria Browne, Home Manager at Langholme

My mother is so happy at this care home. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff and they are so warm and friendly that my mother regards Langolme as her home.
It is the staff that make this place so special. Mum can have a laugh and a joke but equally feels confident in sharing her feelings, when
she needs to.
We are so pleased with our choice.
Reply from Maria Browne, Home manager at Langholme

My mum moved to Langholme last year and staff are kind and caring. The home is a happy and beautiful place to live. My mum says that staff always have time to help and listen to her. The home is clean and never smells. The food and activities offered are great and also very close to the Maritime area
and this is easily accessible.

Very impressed with the care given to my mother. She is very happy with all the staff and also the food.
The stimulating activities e.g. quizzes, trips out, are very popular - and the musical participation particularly important.
Visiting entertainers and visits by children are also popular.
Langholme
is fortunate in having a lovely garden which adds great pleasure when weather permits.
A warm welcome is always given when I visit. Staff are friendly and approachable.

I visit weekly to take a resident to a local cafe and shops.
Sometimes I assist with mini-bus trips.
Staff are always very busy, but are polite, helpful and cheerful!
There is a positive attitude and atmosphere, my impression is that residents are treated with dignity, respect, patience and a sense
of humour!

I have always found the staff and manager very helpful when I visit. Standards are very high in every aspect, however, my sister says that the kitchen does not quite reach this high standard as the food is only satisfactory and could be improved.
Reply from Maria Browne, Home Manager at Langholme

Thank you for passing on such positive comments regarding the Home. We were disappointed to note that the food service has not reached the same excellent standards you have seen for the rest of the Home. We will review this with the Chef and will be happy to discuss this with you and your relative further.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum settled here, at Langholme, almost from day one, which was beyond my expectations. Being greeted at the door on her arrival by the staff threw me into an emotional turmoil! What a lovely touch. She is treated with dignity and the level of care she receives is outstanding. Being able to visit
whenever we like is very handy for us. Being able to freely read her records is an excellent method of transparency for a residential home. Mum is happy and settled so what more could a family ask for? There is always someone on hand to deal with any queries you may have and these are dealt with in a timely manner. This is a home which is full of love and so much fun! Daily activities to suit all needs. People move here to thrive in their environment in their later years rather than fade away in the loneliness of their own home. A choice which took us a long time to make, which we now wish we had made sooner. The food must be good too as I've not heard mum complain once!
Reply from Maria Browne, Home Manager at Langholme

Thank you for such positive feedback. We do realise that being made welcome when a loved one moves into our care is so important, so it was delightful to see that the care and support you and your Mother have experienced has left a lasting impression. We will ensure that the team are given this feedback in recognition of all their hard work.

From the very first visit to Langholme to look around to see if Mum would be happy there, we have had the best of help. At a very difficult time for us as a family, we have been treated with the utmost care and empathy, especially by the management team. Mum settled very quickly and really enjoys all
the excellent activities on offer. Not only do they offer brilliant care for Mum but have supported me superbly through some difficult days. I have nothing but praise. Well done Langholme!.

Langholme, in my opinion, is one of the nicest care homes around. Professionally run with a dedicated friendly team of staff. Instantly made welcome on arrival my mother was soon settled in and is very happy :) I can't speak more highly of this care home and it's staff. A lovely garden to walk, sit
and relax, outings and activities to attend. Peace of mind knowing my mother is genuinely cared for. Meal times look a treat and are well-organised, cleanliness and attention to details are high on the list, mum was in another home prior to Langholme (I now rest assured).

After coming here for many years I am always happy to help whenever I can. One resident always welcomes me, so that makes me feel good. The home puts on a lot of activities for the residents and so I like to join in with the residents - it makes us fete part of them and hopefully, they with us. Music
plays a huge part here, especially the bongo drums. With a forthcoming garden fete, I will most likely take one of the residents outside. She says she will go it I go with her.

I volunteer at Langholme about once a week, mainly talking to residents and helping with craft activities. Often I'll assist on a trip out, such as to a cafe or the local flower show. The atmosphere here is always very pleasant, and I enjoy my visits. I've always been very impressed by the wealth of
activities available, for example, I once came on a very sunny day, and because we couldn't take the residents to the beach, we brought a sandpit and shells in to show them - they loved it.

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.
