There is a great team in place at Longbridge. Staff are helpful, friendly and always in my experience 'go the extra mile'. My mother was always going to find the transition to care provision a difficult one but the welcoming and homely environment at Longbridge has really helped. The staff have kept
me well informed and are constantly thinking of new ideas to help with Mum's settling-in process. The activities (both craft and others like music/entertainment etc) are well organised and fun. Thank you 'Team Longbridge' you are all ace.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our mum has been wonderfully cared for at Longbridge Deverill Home since 2020 when she could no longer look after herself in her home. We cannot thank the staff enough for keeping her and the other residents safe from the horrors of Covid. When I look at all the photos of the activities over December
leading up to and after Christmas and the New Year, it brings joy to my heart to see all the lovely smiling faces of everyone. I would like to give a huge thank you to everyone who works there, tirelessly caring for those too old and frail or vulnerable to care for themselves. Our mum could have ended up anywhere after being in hospital when Covid struck and had to be found a home very quickly. When she was lucky enough to go to this loving care home, I knew someone up there was looking after her! It is such a comfort to know Mum’s last years will be safe and happy.

I spent the last two days of my mother's life with her at home. Although I had not spent time with her recently, I had spoken to her at least once a week. (I live in the USA) and she was very happy to have chosen the home. Close friends who visited her were always very complimentary of the house and
the care provided in her final two days the staff were awesome. They showed compassion visited regularly and encouraged her throughout. The administration staff were super helpful with wrapping up details after her passing. Thank you!

I live in the USA, so don't often get the opportunity to visit my dear Mum there, but I loved seeing her at the beginning of this year. She was relaxed and smiling, although, of course, doesn't say much. The staff are all attentive and positive, and the activities organised for the residents are varied
and fantastic! Follow their monthly newsletter!

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
This is my first experience of respite care for my husband with Alzheimer's, so had nothing to compare it with. On the whole, we were treated with respect and friendliness. My husband seemed to be fairly content and relaxed whilst there. I asked that staff would engage him in the activities that took
place most days but he was unable to tell me what he had done, as he is virtually non-verbal. I was told he had been on an outing and he had and that he had taken part in one activity but received no further information. I would have liked to of known what he had been doing apart from sleeping. He is very quiet and would not have made a fuss. I would have liked a little more staff communication. Often when I visited there appeared no one around to speak to.

Longbridge Deverill House and Nursing Home is a very caring environment with dedicated staff who go above and beyond their job description. There is a lovely garden where afternoon tea is held on warm days but can also be visited by residents when accompanied. The food is tasty and wholesome and seconds
are usually available. Clothing can go missing and an effective laundry system needs to be put in place but management is working on this. Longbridge has a happy friendly environment where the residents are treated well with care and dignity.

This is my mother-in-law's 3rd year at Longbridge Deverill Nursing Home. She is having wonderful care from the kindest nurses and carers that she could wish for. Everyone is so lovely and she is always treated with the greatest respect. She has been so well cared for and has made this her home. The

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.755)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.755) out of 10 for Longbridge Deverill House and Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.755 for Longbridge Deverill House and Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (241 Excellents x 5) + (55 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 306 Ratings = 4.755
  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 Longbridge Deverill House and Nursing Home is based on 26 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 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16, which has been reached with 26 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.

I came to Longbridge Deverill Nursing Home from Nepal.


There is a lot of support within the home and I gained my NMC pin and progressed from senior carer to Registered Nurse within the home. Staff are all so friendly and it is such a rewarding role to support residents in maintaining their independence and quality of life.
