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. The staff are always helpful and friendly and you are always offered a cup of tea and biscuits when you arrive. It is peace of mind to know Mum is being well looked after and always looks neat and tidy.

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!

It was one of the saddest days of our lives, having to put Dad in a home (vascular dementia) and when he failed to settle in the first 2 homes you can imagine our anxiety and despair. Then we discovered Longview, it was like a miracle, he settled in from day 1, receiving a lot of care and attention,
he is happy and content, for us to witness that was unbelievable, we now have complete peace of mind knowing he is safe and well cared for. He is part of a new family now and we couldn't be MORE grateful, it's thanks to the dedicated team. If we could give you 10 stars, we would!

My mum has been a resident for over two years after my dad died, and she could not stay alone at home. I have found that the care and commitment of the staff at Longview exemplary. She is treated as if she is with family, and I am satisfied that she is happy. She has dementia but is clearly cherished
by the staff for her uniqueness, and I would recommend Longview to anyone seeking professional but loving care for their relative or friend. There is always someone to chat with me if I call to enquire after her, and although I haven't been able to visit recently, I have no concerns for her. When I have visited, I am made welcome, and I sense that the staff and procedures are honest and transparent.

My mother in law has been a resident in Longview Care Home for the last 7 years after rapidly contracting severe dementia. In the early years of her stay at Longview, she was frequently highly distressed. However, the care which she has received throughout this time from the Longview team has been exemplary
and has contributed greatly to her becoming far more settled as the years have progressed. The Longview team have always liaised with my wife and I in a very warm and professional way which has been a huge comfort to us. Thank you so much and please keep up the fantastic care!

It is a great comfort to myself and my family to receive a regular phone call with updates and photographs that we very much appreciate. Thank you once again. Yvonne.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My auntie will have been in Longview for three years this December. It was my decisions for her to go to Longview, fortunately, she settled quickly.
The staff are brilliant with the residents, they have patience, a lot of time to give them, and above all a lot of care.
The food always smells inviting
with a choice of something else if they don't fancy what's on the menu.
With their cup of tea in the morning and afternoon, a biscuit or piece of cake can be offered. Before covid, when I visited, straight away, I would be offered tea or coffee with biscuits.
Longview is always inviting, it's very clean and always smells fresh. The residents are very clean and smart. I have never had to worry about my aunt's appearance as her clothes are always clean as well as herself.
I was able to stop worrying about my auntie when she joined Longview, knowing she is in good hands and being very well looked after.
I can't praise the staff enough.

My mum has been at this care home for over 2 years now and I have been really happy with the care she gets. The staff are lovely and caring , I get regular updates (great especially in these difficult times), and if she is ill, I am contacted straight away. I couldn’t ask for better care for my mum
and would thoroughly recommend Longview.

We are extremely pleased with the care my aunt receives at Longview. She is always clean and well-groomed when we go there. The staff are always friendly and available if anything needs to be discussed, also we get a monthly review and if there is a need for the doctor to be called or a change of medication
we are informed.
The home is always clean and tidy.
Activities are put on for the residents, and a cup of tea is always offered on arrival!
I would definitely recommend Longview.

My husband has been a resident for the last 3 years and I have absolutely no problem with the standard of care and support shown to him. The staff act with compassion and are always there to help, support and advise if I need it. In these difficult times, I am provided with an update and photos of
my husband as I am unable to visit. Whilst FaceTime and WhatsApp are offered and have been used in the past, my husband can’t grasp the concept of this so this is now used infrequently. As I have said, I cannot state highly enough how satisfied and pleased I am with everything that is provided for my husband, and me.

My Mum has been a resident at Longview for almost 3 years. She is 97 and has advanced dementia. The staff at Longview have always treated her with the utmost respect, and I consider that the level of care is exceptional. Obviously, I cannot visit since March but FaceTime regularly. Nothing is
too much trouble, and I feel that the staff make my mum feel very loved and cared for. I could not wish for more.

My Mother has been a resident at Longview for nearly two years after a necessary move from a previous care home.
The family was pleasantly surprised by the warm welcome we all received from the owners, and over the time our Mother has been at Longview, we cannot speak highly enough of the care and
attention she receives.
Regular activities help to enliven the daily routine; have brought my mother out of her shell.
She is in a safe and secure environment with excellent care from all the staff, which helps to give the family a feeling of comfort - we are happy to confirm.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My Mum who has worsening dementia has been at Longview for over a year now. All the staff are always very professional and provide excellent care. This relates to both her physical and emotional well-being. I am kept up to date with regular telephone calls from the manager and team leaders regarding
all aspects of my Mum's care, this is vital to me due to the fact that I do not live close by and cannot visit as often as I would like to. However, when I do visit everyone is very welcoming and they always have the time to discuss any issues I have and to give me a full appraisal of my Mum's current health. Longview promotes the music for dementia as there is often musical entertainment including singing which my Mum thoroughly enjoys and brings her to life, which is great to see. It is very apparent from the feedback that I receive that the staff know my Mum very well so I am content that she is in very good hands and can't thank them enough for all that they do.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.937)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.937) out of 10 for Longview Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.937 for Longview Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (211 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 223 Ratings = 4.937
  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 Longview Care Home is based on 19 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 51 registered maximum number of service users is 10.2, which has been reached with 19 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.
