Longbridge Deverill House and Nursing Home

The grounds are lovely and mum loves going out in them. The building is a bit shabby but this doesn't detract from how nice it is here.

Can't recommend highly enough.

My husband was a resident at Longbridge Deverill Nursing Home in Warminster, Wiltshire. He was in a single room, he could not stand or walk and had to be moved to sit in a chair by the use of a hoist. He was very ill and needed a lot of nursing care which was carried out exceptionally well in every way. Staff were so kind to him and met all his needs so well. He often remarked at their standard of care and social input being so great from seniors and junior staff. My husband passed away in their care and in this time of loss, it is a comfort to us that he was so well cared for.

The choices of (and presentation of) meals was that of a very good hotel.

As a family, we have celebrated many happy occasions at Longbridge Deverill: birthdays, wedding anniversaries, Christmas, Easter etc. It was a real home. Her room was comfortable and clean, the activities provided enjoyable (we loved Holy Communion and singing!) Mummy was always beautifully clean and cared for without one pressure sore over the years, a remarkable achievement as she was so sedentary. The garden was wonderful and Mummy got real pleasure from being able to sit outside. We feel so fortunate to have found this wonderful nursing home which made Mummy's last years so bearable. Thank you.

There are lots of activities, mum sadly does not take part in many but the staff do try to get mum to attend. The food is excellent and mum is kept clean and smelling fresh at all times. Well done and thank you.

We were happy mums last years were made comfortable and carefree and she was able to be near us.

My father was admitted to Longbridge Deverill House and Nursing Home for respite and rehab after an acute hospital admission. He had debilitating Parkinson's and we had hoped to move him home with live-in care but it became obvious this would not be feasible. The care we experienced from all the staff was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble. Visitors have all given us positive feedback including his hairdresser who was able to use the salon and his physio who worked closely with the team. Once he decided to stay, we were encouraged to bring in familiar items from home. At Christmas when we planned a big family gathering we were able to use one of the lounges and this is a very happy memory for us all. As a retired nurse myself, I was impressed with how proactive all the staff were- whenever I made a suggestion they were already ahead of me. Unfortunately, his condition deteriorated but the care he and we received was compassionate at all times. Everyone at Longbridge Deverill House and Nursing Home made his "last lap" the very best it could have been.

Unfortunately dad passed away in hospital and although we gave 2 days notice to collect his belongings (which were not packed) we discovered his bed unmade, a dirty cups, a plate and a pair of underpants in his room as well as personal belongings missing, for which I had to argue to have these posted on. Not once since has the home made any contact offering condolences or words of kindness which has upset my mum and made her think twice about dads care and is it foremost a businesses venture. A sad end.

Longbridge Deverill House and Nursing Home is a true jewel in the crown and more importantly a total savior. After three short stays in local homes, my mother experienced poor treatment you need to know this when you take a placement! We then found Longbridge Deverill House where we were able to place mum, briefly a purpose-built clean beyond belief. Totally professional establishment with super, warm on suite rooms with super food. The staff were amazing, very well qualified and cared! The communication alone good and her general care was excellent. As a family, we would recommend without question of risk it's just the best you will find.

Longbridge is a good home, ok not a new building but a warm loving home and the people inside make it that.

All the things that proved difficult at home, even with a live-in carer, are no longer worries. That I can discuss my relative's well-being and progress at any time with the Manager or members of staff is so reassuring. The staff are so friendly and treat the residents with such respect. I look forward to visiting!

My father was a resident here for about 16 months after a long and distressing stay in a hospital. His experience (and mine) at Longbridge Deverill House and Nursing Home couldn't have been more of a contrast. The home is a lovely environment; it's clean and well-run and the standard of nursing care is excellent. The chef and staff went above and beyond to prepare menus that would appeal to dad. But the best quality of this home is what I can only call a 'culture of kindness'. All the staff are caring, patient and treat residents as adults entitled to dignity and compassion. They made my dad's last year not only comfortable and reassuring but also gave him a sense of having a home. I would recommend Longbridge Deverill House and Nursing Home without reservation.

There is nothing to give a negative review about, but the biggest positive by a mile must be the staff and management.

My 92-year-old mother was at Longbridge Deverill House from October 2016 until her recent death. She was treated with great care and kindness throughout. The staff are friendly and treated her with dignity. The food was excellent and staff took care to make sure she ate enough. During her final illness, they were kind and considerate and kept us well informed throughout.

They have also given me peace of mind at such a hard time. I could not have asked for more and I cannot thank them all enough.

My mother entered Longbridge Deverill House for respite care originally. Decided to stay. Unfortunately, she died after a few weeks but during those weeks the staff treated her and us with the utmost kindness. We only had to make a passing comment and it was acted upon. The food was excellent. Apart from the shabby decor in the communal areas I could find no fault and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this home.

For the brief period that my sister was in the nursing home she received every courtesy, care and consideration. I had brought her to UK by private ambulance from Belgium on 21st April. She died on 28th May. The staff took the trouble to find French speakers into which language my sister frequently lapsed. My sister's condition was so frail on arrival that she was unable to make a recovery in spite of the best efforts of the nursing staff which I observed very frequently.

I can see that almost daily (except Sat/Sun) the staff have some form of entertainment for all the residents that with to park-take. Thank you all very much.

My impressions were very positive. The reception area was pleasant without being overly pretentious and the staff very helpful. The corridors were wide and the residents rooms, spacious, tastefully, furnished with floor to ceiling windows. There was no trace of the odours often associated with care homes. The staff were at all times friendly and efficient and they displayed endless patience with even the most challenging residents. They managed my step-mothers complete immobility in a caring way always doing their best to make sure her dignity was not compromised, monitor in each room ensured any unusual incidents day or night would be investigated. Well-behaved pets were welcomed and my step-mothers much loved dog was a regular and popular visitor. When my step-mother was in her final hours a member of staff was with her at all times.
