Dad has been here for about 7 weeks now. He settled in quickly, much to our surprise.
He thinks he is in a hotel. Everywhere is spotless, the staff are very caring and friendly.
We are regularly kept informed of any concerns and Dr's visits etc.
Open visiting hours means we can visit Dad whenever
we like. We are always offered tea or coffee, on arrival, presented on a tray with a plate of biscuits.
I cannot fault the care and support received and would recommend the Care Home to anyone with a family member with dementia.

I first viewed Longview Nursing Home in November 2024 when I was distraught as I hadn't been able to find an appropriate home for my Mum.
As soon as I walked in I felt a relief come over me - the team gave me all the information I needed and more than that confidence that my Mum would be looked after
in a safe environment.
From the moment I was told that there was a room available the Longview team made the whole process, transfer from hospital to Longview seamless. Believe me the hospital were not helpful and the team just organised everything.
Mum passed away January 2025 and I thank Longview every day for being there for Mum and our family.

Reply from Adele Beaton, Area Manager at Longview Care Home

Dad became a resident at Longview in July 2024 after a very stressful 3 months in hospital looking for a suitable home. From day 1 the transition for Dad and ourselves has been stress free and we all had a lot of support from the Longview team. Dad's care is excellent and the carers understand his individual
needs. He feels relaxed and at home. His quality of life has been enhanced since becoming a resident at Longview, he enjoys all the entertainment and activities that are arranged. We feel very privileged that Dad is being so well cared for in such a caring, supportive and beautiful home. Dad and his family feel very much a part of the Longview community.
We have just experienced an amazing Christmas at Longview. The team and Activities Coordinator put so much effort into making it a special occasion for the residents and visiting families. It was truly joyous attending Christmas parties and sharing a fabulous Christmas dinner there, it made Dad so happy.

I cannot praise Longview Care Home enough, not just for December 2024 but from when my mum first came to Longview in September 2024 up until the present date!
Mum is well cared for by all staff.
They treat her with respect and kindness and cater for all her needs.
It is of great comfort to me, my
brother and our families to know that Mum is well cared for and safe.
All the staff are also very kind and respectful to me when I visit too
Nothing is too much trouble.
I get phone calls to update me on Mum's health and well-being if necessary too.
Thank you, Longview.

Mum has been in the new block at Longview since August. She settled in very well with everyone making her very welcome. Mum thinks she is in a hotel all the staff are so loving and caring and will do anything for her even though my mum can be difficult at times.
The bedrooms are fantastic and so
is the lounge. The level of cleanliness is very good. The food is very good and mum eats it all.
They have weekly activities and entertainment which Mum loves. I feel relieved that she has found somewhere so good and I do not have to worry about her.
I highly recommend Longview as a care home.

Brought my uncle into this home. Felt very uneasy with letting others look after him but was a lovely, happy, amazing place. I couldn't have wished for any better, felt very content knowing he's in safe hands. Staff are so friendly, knowing he has round the clock care and always a nice cup of tea when
anyone visits him.

When my aunt had to go into care there was only one place we wanted her to go which is here in Longview. My gran, her sister, was also a resident from 2012-2016 and received the very best of care, and my aunt also receives the very best of care and attention.

They are very good clean and tidy. My husband has been in there for a few months now and he has settled in well. He is always clean and tidy, they help him with whatever he needs to do. When I go to see him, they keep me up-to-date with what is going on with him. They always offer tea or coffee when
you arrive.

As soon as you walk into the home there is a sense of calm, we were really worried about our dad and his needs, but this worry was taken away by the wonderful caring and thoughtful staff. We certainly could not ask for more, Dad is always well dressed clean clothes, shaved and looks very presentable.
There are plenty of staff around who are always willing to answer any concerns you might have. His room is so lovely and spotlessly clean. They take away any worries you may have about your relative's needs. We know Dad is being looked after and cared for.

The moment we walked into Longview, as a family, we found it calm, the staff were calm, the residents were calm and it was a nice thing to see.
My dad has settled in well, he has other challenges apart from dementia but the staff always listen to us and take on board how my dad may need other care.
My
dad is always well-presented, clean, shaven and clean clothes.
The staff are polite and respectful to both residents and family members when we visit.
As a family, although we miss him desperately, we know he is having wonderful care and love at Longview.

I felt relieved to have found a place for my father at Longview Care Home. They were able to cope with all his special needs and moods. His room had a beautiful view of the garden, perfect for a former gardener.
The staff were plenty, friendly and very helpful. As I live abroad it was important to
me to have someone reliable at the care home to deal with matters involved. This showed most at the final stage and was handled excellently by the manager.
There were unpleasant experiences before with other care homes so my wife and I were able to compare and felt happy to have found a peaceful place for my father to live. We can certainly recommend the Longview Care Home and are very thankful for the way the staff looked after my father.

Dad moved into the care home a few weeks ago. He has presented a number of challenges to the team and they have been professional, caring, and responsive throughout. They're particularly good at working with us and Dad to provide the care that he needs while respecting his independence. They're very
happy to have us visit whenever we like (outside of meal times) and show us lots of hospitality. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Mum moved into Longview in March this year. Initially just for respite as her behaviour (due to Alzheimer’s) was very challenging at home.
From the initial first visit to assess her needs we felt confident and at ease with handing our dear Mum’s care over to them.
Mum struggled to settle at first
and that time was filled with a lot of trauma and worry about how she was reacting to being out of her familiar environment.
Every member of staff calmed our fears, looked after Mum fantastically and did everything possible to help both Mum and us. Every phone call and visit is met with a positive and caring attitude and we will be forever grateful for their kindness and support.
Mum is now at Longview permanently. We see her face light up with every interaction with staff, she’s settled in and even though the journey with Dementia has been a rollercoaster for us - we can now relax knowing Mum is safe and receiving excellent care.
I highly recommend Longview.

My father has been a resident at Longview for 2 years. He is always cleanly dressed and shaven in a timely manner in the morning. There are always plenty of staff around and he doesn’t have to wait for toileting help. Staff are friendly and empathetic whilst also compassionate and engage with the residents.
I
notice positive interactions by staff with my father and they are attentive to his needs and he enjoys cheeky humour with them.
On visits management have taken the time to come and chat with my father and myself.
Staff are quick to notify us of any items my father is in need of and keep us informed straight away of any accidents, falls or minor injuries. They have always contacted the doctor's surgery with any concerns or ailments rapidly.
Overall my father seems happy and content in his stay at Longview and we can’t praise the staff enough for his care.

My mother has been at Longview for more than a year now, and her care has been exemplary. The kindness, consideration and attention to her physical and mental welfare is a five-star standard. The staff and management also show the same kindness and care to all the families of their residents, which
I have been very grateful for.

Very happy with the care given to Mum at Longview, as she has dementia and can be very difficult.

My sisters and I have been very pleased with the care the staff give to our mother, they deserve a 10-star review!
Before Mum went to Longview she was very angry and upset all the time, after a week or two in Longview she was a changed woman (she's been there a year now), she's always happy and laughing
all the time. My sisters and I have no worries about Mum now.
The staff are amazing, always so friendly and the care they give Mum is great!
We would recommend Longview to anyone!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.974)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.974) out of 10 for Longview Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.974 for Longview Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (229 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 235 Ratings = 4.974

  • 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 Longview Care Home is based on 20 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 51 registered maximum number of service users is 10.2, which has been reached with 20 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.
