Thank you, Landona House care staff. You were so kind to my mum during her stay with you.


She came to you following a long stay in hospital where she was not well-treated and she arrived traumatised. She was confused, afraid, unhappy, and isolated, afraid of the unknown but, also, ready to give up.


Things were not easy but, through your perseverance and concern to see my mum as a precious individual and to learn from her, she began to have hope again. You were always accommodating and happy to discuss aspects of her care and health. You were also compassionate towards her needs and those of her loved ones.


These are difficult times when real care is no longer easy to deliver and in increasingly short supply. Thank goodness then that my mum came to you. I just wish there had been more of you so that you weren't all spread so thin.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum entered Landona in May this year and after an initial period settling in quickly became happy and aware she was being fully cared for. Unfortunately, her health started to deteriorate after three months, but the care she then received was excellent with compassion not only for her, but her immediate
family due to the additional burden placed on everyone due to the impact of the pandemic. Staff were always prepared to listen, cared for Mum's well being at all times in the twilight of her life and the home is very well led by a very engaging and caring Manager. Building itself is a little outdated, but what truly matters is the care given and we wish to express our thanks for that and to all the staff at Landona.

Mum entered the home towards the end of May and remained there until her death in late October. Throughout that period her care was wonderful. The staff were so friendly and caring, taking time and patience to help her complete her daily tasks. They treated her with respect and kindness at all times,
making sure her final days were comfortable. It was lovely for her to spend those last couple of months among people she knew rather than being sent to hospital. She was well fed throughout with plenty of drinks available and she enjoyed the company and entertainment while she was able to do so. While the home itself is not in the most modern of buildings the warmth and compassion she was met with far outstripped her physical surroundings and this is what is the most important. As a visitor, I was always warmly welcomed.

Much appreciated that mum was in a caring, friendly, and family environment. All staff led by an excellent manager were always caring, patient, and helpful to both residents and visitors. Quick to deal with health issues, kept me well informed, and provided much comfort to mum in her final days. Understandable
covid restriction made visiting difficult but the manager was helpful at adapting to mums circumstances. Sadly mum deteriorated quite quickly so unable to participate in numerous activities provided, but was thrilled with the pom pom she made - pictures on Facebook to prove it!.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father was a resident in Landona from February to July 10th 2021. Without exception every single member of staff, including chefs, cleaners and carers is absolutely exceptional. Each member of staff ensures that at all times residents are treated with respect and dignity. The overwhelming feel of
the care home is one of 'family', one big family. Each resident is valued and treated as an individual.
The care is exception, professional and team members carry out their duties with a smile on their faces.
I could not have wished for a better place for my father to end his days. He did more 'living' in the last 5 months of his life than he had in the last 5 years.
Activities that residents truly enjoy are well thought out, very worthwhile. My father particularly enjoyed the music-based activities and it is clear from the photographs (particularly on the Landona Facebook page) that he was frequently the 'disco boogie' king ie the only one on his feet dancing to the music!
Thank you.

My late mother stayed at Landona House from January 2020 until January 2021. The care she received during this time was exceptional. The home has a lovely friendly atmosphere with regular activities put on for the residents. It was unfortunate that my mother's stay, however, fell at the same time as
COVID and as a result, we were unable to visit as often. We would like to thank, in particular, the home's manager for his genuine compassion, care and all the help and support he gave at that difficult time.

My Uncle went to Landona - initially for emergency respite - eventually staying almost 3 months. Nothing was too much trouble for the amazing staff at Landona. The food, the entertainment and the cleanliness were impeccable. Above all else though, where Landona really comes into its own, is the feeling
of homeliness and warmth. The staff are all so compassionate and friendly - not only with their residents but with their families alike. I cannot recommend them highly enough to anyone looking for a homely and friendly environment where they will receive top-quality nursing care. Moreover, you can be assured that in our experience, residents will also be treated with respect and dignity and their wishes always be listened to.

I have found the care delivered to my father to be exceptional. He is always well presented. It has been a difficult time during Covid-19, not being able to visit him as we would normally. However, all efforts have been made to allow contact with my father, either via telephone or through the window.
I have always observed staff to be wearing the appropriate PPE, and yet maintain a caring and familiar relationship with my father. He lost weight prior to admission, he has since gained and says that the food is lovely. I cannot thank the Management, Activities Coordinator and Care Staff enough for all they do.

Visiting as a volunteer before lockdown. Staff are very caring and kind and very understanding, under sometimes difficult situations. Food looks and smells wonderful! Lots of fun and laughter while some games were played by the activities lady. Overall, a real home from home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
3 years ago my brother, who was in need of care in a residential home, went to reside at Landona House. In the intervening years and thanks to the quality of care and the dedication of the staff that he received his life has been transformed.
My last visit and review was in March 2020 prior to the
government lockdown when Landona House took precautions to suspend family visits to protect the residents and staff. During this time they have continued to be in touch with me and have arranged telephone calls so I could communicate with my brother.
Last week, July 2020, thanks to a new Gazebo located in the garden it was made possible for me to have a face to face visit with my brother, it was so reassuring to see him so well and happy.
Thank you to all the staff at Landona House.

My father lived at Landona for about one year. He felt safe and secure and called it home.
It was very difficult for us as a family during his last weeks before passing but we wanted my father to stay at Landona and it was the right decision as the care given towards my father was excellent, he was
treated with dignity and he must have felt loved. As a family we were given support and care, nothing was too much trouble.
A big thank you to all the staff at Landona.

Have found my mother's placement to be caring and helpful. Have kept me informed about changes in Mom's health i.e., calling doctor or monitoring of changes in her health. They have been very responsive when it was discovered, by myself and sibling, that mother had defecated on her toilet seat and had
soiled pants. My mother is eating end enjoys her food, and she is complimentary of the food as opposed to 'damming' another environments food.

My Mother was at Landona House from October 2017 until her death there in June 2018. She always received excellent care from the care staff and the arrival of an activities organiser in January 2018 made a real difference to the daily life at the home. I could not fault the care my Mother was given
on the last few days of her life - she had come to know the staff well, trusted them, and felt safe and secure with them.

My father was placed into Landona House at very short notice, leading up to Christmas. Although being rushed, sufficient information was received about Landona and a visit was also made to the home, prior to the placement. It took my father a while to settle, but the staff coped very well with this
and have worked well with him since. He is a proud man and can be very stubborn at times, again the staff have supported him very well. My father has had several falls at Landona house, none of these can be apportioned blameworthy to Landona. During all these incidents, the family have been kept fully informed at all times.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.753)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.753) out of 10 for Landona House Ltd 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.753 for Landona House Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (119 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 154 Ratings = 4.753
  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 Landona House Ltd is based on 13 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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9, which has been reached with 13 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.
