Review from Betty K (Wife of Resident) published on 8 March 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Cannot speak highly enough of management and all care staff; also others who are employed there in whatever capacity. Everyone at Landona House goes the "extra mile". Landona House is a truly family home where each resident is given exceptional love and consideration. In the last few hours before my
husband passed away, I could not have wished for him to be anywhere other than Landona House.

The most important part is that my mother is happy and safe.
She enjoys he food. She appears clean and her hair is done regularly.
The staff are friendly and helpful. There was an excellent Christmas carol service in December, also a dog visiting service which my mother enjoyed. Music is important.

Review from Sue C (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 January 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful care home. The manager and staff, without exception, are fantastic. My mum was nervous about going into a care home for 3 days respite care - however, after only two days she decided she wanted to extend her stay and ended up staying for 2 weeks!


We

visited Mum daily at all different times of the day and on each occasion, we were made to feel so very welcome (day or night). Staff were always willing to discuss with us how Mum was doing and were extremely supportive with us over our concerns about her dementia. The knowledge, patience and care given were very reassuring.


Both Mum and our family felt so at home at Landona House right from the moment we walked in and nothing was too much trouble or effort for the team.


The activities and entertainment for the residents are good and help to maintain a fun, happy, safe environment. After her two week respite stay, Mum went home looking and feeling stronger and healthier and now, when the time comes, is happy to go to Landona as a permanent resident - something we feel very comforted by.

My mother became a resident at the home in October 2016 until she passed away on 25/4/17. In the time she was there she absolutely loved the home. The staff were so friendly and helpful and provided the essential care she required right up to her passing away and I cannot praise all the staff/management
enough.

My wife has only been at this home since January 2017 but I find the staff and the home excellent. This home was recommended to me by the daughter of another resident which was fortunate as I think I have made the correct choice.

My mother is extremely happy at Landona House and I feel she is well cared for. On most occasions she looks well, has been dressed with care and coordination with attention to detail like hair and nails done. Since she has been at Landona there has been little change of staff and I feel that it has
a family atmosphere. I always feel welcome and am offered refreshment. I have no hesitation in recommending Landona House to others.

Review from Joan R (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 February 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was admitted to Landona House initially for a period of two weeks respite care which was extended a further two weeks. Due to the skill and attention of the dedicated staff her mediation was greatly reduced, her self confidence increased and she began to socialise- something she had not done
for a long long time. Mental stimulation is the key factor and patients are encouraged to take part in various activities and socialise. In summary my experience of Landona House has been excellent and is highly recommended.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Saturday 19th December my mother had a nasty fall at the Christmas Fayre at Landona House. The staff swiftly and efficiently dealt with the situation, caring for her ( and me as she had pulled me down with her) I could not have asked for any better help and kindness shown to us both. The paramedics
were called and soon had her into hospital. The staff lay on the floor comforting her all the time while trying to assess and deal with her injuries. The management had the situation in hand at all times.
Reply from Oliver Foster, Manager at Landona House Ltd

Thank you for your review, and we are delighted that your Mother is on the mend. Accidents can happen at any time, and I am happy with the rapid and professional manner the staff helped with your situation. I will pass on your thanks to the staff.

Mum enjoys being there. She is looked after very well. She has had a few nasty illnesses and they have looked after her very well and she is well again now. She enjoys the company and the food. She enjoys the entertainment and singing. It is such a relief for us, that she loves living there.

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.
