Review from Fiona S (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 June 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Father was not the easiest of persons once his dementia took hold. The staff were extremely understanding of his need to maintain his independence. He was quite aggressive at times but the staff dealt with this very professionally.
The home was always clean and all the residents were well cared
for. There is an enclosed garden they can sit in when the weather is nice. The rooms aren't en suite but we didn't feel this was a problem
The food is of a good standard and they are certainly well fed.
They have daily music sessions drums one day, violinist, singers etc. The residents appeared to enjoy this. There is also art therapy for those who want to do it
When we visited him we were also treated very well and always given refreshments. The staff were also very supportive to my mother if she got upset with how my father was behaving.

The owners and all the staff at Longview were very supportive to all of us when my husband, Dad, Grampy went into Longview. All the Management and staff were available to speak to at any time night or day. They gave us regular updates on my husband's health and wellbeing and they all became an extended
part of our family. We could visit at any time and were made welcome. We cannot thank them enough for their help and compassion they have shown us.

I have a member of my family in the care of Longview for 2 years. Such is the quality of care, I consider their presence a real blessing in our lives. The home is run as a place of genuine healing, care and compassion, by owners who are professional and genuine in the attention they give to residents
and families alike.


I run an organisation recognised at a leader in best practice for ISO9001:2015, quality and risk management. I understand standards, policies, processes and procedures at a high level. Longview excels.


I have had cause to take part in health, welfare and risk reviews at Longview. I have observed the owners and staff performing to a consistently high standard in all areas of their work.


I have personally benefited from their professionalism and kindness, as my family came to terms with the reality faced by my family member at Longview. I will be forever grateful and appreciative.


I recommend Longview, its owners and staff, without hesitation.

Review from Karen H (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 June 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mum has been in Longview Care Home for four years. The very high standards have been the same throughout her stay there, this is now Mums home, it is very comfortable, extremely clean and the atmosphere friendly and homely. Everyone from the owners, nursing staff, carers and cleaners contribute to
the high standards which makes Mum settled, content and safe.
I am regularly updated on how Mum is and immediately informed if anything changes with her and what the staff are doing to help her improve.
When Mum first went into Longview she was well enough to take out for lunch on a Sunday, all the staff made sure Mum was well dressed and ready to go out, they helped with her wheelchair and assistance to the car. Very welcoming when she arrived back, chatting to her and resettling her.
Mum is very vulnerable and her life is reaching the end, I could not be more content that Mum is in the best place, which gives me peace of mind at this stage of her life. Thank you Longview.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff are extremely caring and watch each resident to determine if they need anything - at any time of the day or night. My Father-in-law was confused but calm and comfortable....and, given his condition, this was a blessing for us. Living over 300 miles away, it was very difficult for us to visit
very often, and we had great peace-of-mind with him in Longview. We were kept informed at every turn and he was extremely well looked after until the end....which came suddenly but peacefully.
The manager came to the funeral and was happy to spend time talking to us. He and his staff are all wonderfully caring people, and, if anyone else has a difficult decision to make....don't worry.....your relative will be just fine at Longview.

Review from Susan B (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 March 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was resident in Longview Care Home between December 2015 and December 2017. I could not have wished for her to spend her last 2 years in a better, safer more caring place. It is well run, clean and comfortable with all of the staff being cheerful, professional and approachable.
Mum, due
to her dementia was a very difficult and demanding resident but was always looked after with care, consideration, respect and flexibility as her needs or demands changed.
I was always kept fully informed and was consulted regarding all aspects of her care and was able to visit her at any time that I wished. We, as a family, are very grateful to the manager and his staff who were very supportive through some very difficult times.
I cannot recommend Longview highly enough!

Review from Paul W (Son of Resident) published on 18 January 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Longview has provided excellent care for my elderly father during the last few months of his life following a stroke. It is a delightful 'homely' care residence, with beautiful bright decor and aspect, situated in a lovely location, with a busy but caring atmosphere. The facilities are modern, suitably
well equipped and managed to a high standard.
The owners run the home with much patience, compassion and expertise, facilitated by plenty of kind staff members who are always happy and welcoming, with time to give to the residents, regularly on a one to one basis.
There are regular fun activities of music and performance that are very stimulating for the residents and visitors alike. We were always made very welcome to come and visit at any time, and I am so very grateful for the owner's kind support and guidance given to Mum and myself during a rather difficult time regarding my father's dementia and stroke condition. I cannot thank Longview enough for the help they have provided.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad has been at Longview since November after coming from another residential home that was unable to deal with his challenging and unpredictable behaviour and his needs. The Manager and his team are amazing with my dad. The home is always very clean and well maintained. Dad is always clean and
tidy. The staff are very caring and know and care for dad and all the residents and their individual needs. And his dignity is always maintained. He has settled in really well and is always happy and involved with the various activities that are on offer. I can’t thank the Manager and his team enough for making a very difficult time for us as a family less stressful. I would have no hesitation in recommending Longview for families looking for a home from home care setting.

My Mum has been at the home since Aug 2015, when her care became too much for us at home with her challenging behaviour. Mum settled in well at the care home where her needs were met although she was still quite challenging. The staff and manager are exceptional in the work that they do, and nothing
is to much trouble for them. The care home is clean to a very high standard. I would highly recommend the care home for anyone looking for a well run establishment.

My Dad has been a resident at Longview Care Home for five and a half weeks. He went to Longview from another home that was unable to meet my Dad’s needs/care. He has Alzheimer’s and can be difficult at times due to the nature of his illness.
I feel the owner/manager has managed my Dad extremely well.
My Dad has settled in and always seems happy when my husband and I visit.
The Manager and his staff interact with my Dad and treat him with care and respect. The Manager and his team always have time to talk and update me on my Dad’s care. I firmly believe my Dad is in the best place for his illness.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.945)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.945) 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.945 for Longview Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (280 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 293 Ratings = 4.945
  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 25 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 53 registered maximum number of service users is 10.6, which has been reached with 25 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.
