I am extremely happy with the level of care my mother is receiving at Long Lea. All the staff are extremely friendly and caring and it is an absolute joy to come to the home to visit. Must also mention about a member of staff from Activities, she is so friendly and very bubbly and she always greets
me with a wonderful warm smile. Her level of care is excellent. Please can you pass this commentary on to her. Must finally add the manager is extremely nice and friendly and very professional. Please keep up these wonderful standards and I am a very happy relative.

My husband went in for 2-weeks respite, and when I picked him up, his first words were; I have been treated like royalty. The food was great and he was never hungry, care staff excellent, very patient with him and dealt with all his needs. Under the circumstances with this virus, I praise this home
highly.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Very happy with the care offered to my Aunty. She has been a resident at Long Lea since May and has settled in well with the help and support of staff. The Manager is always on hand to answer any questions. We have recently attended a relatives meeting which was very informative. When considering care
for my Aunty and visiting a number of local homes, the welcome and facilities at Long Lea were by far the best.

Review from Jackie W (Sister of Resident) published on 9 August 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Having previously spent an occasional week respite at Long Lea, my sister chose to move to Long Lea when she was finally unable to live in her own home because she had made friends with both staff and residents. Her room was very clean, with en suite toilet and washbasin. She could bring some of her
own furniture and tv.
The staff treated her with compassion and respect, friendship and genuine caring, day and night. Despite her complex needs and being increasingly bedbound, she was provided with everything she wanted or needed. Family members were welcomed and carers and managers were always available to discuss anything under the sun.
During a sudden downturn in my sister's health, three family members were welcomed to stay as long as desired - including overnight. Carers and managers cared for us, too, with great compassion.
My overwhelming feeling is that the staff truly care for the residents, forming bonds of true understanding of each individual's needs.
Thank you, one and all.

The biggest strength of Long Lea is the staff. They are, without question, caring, sensitive, thoughtful, pleasant and dedicated. I feel confident that they care about my Mum and take the trouble to keep her happy.

In the 12 months my Mum has been here I have found the care she has received is more than I could expect.
The staff are friendly and carting.
I am kept up to date if there are any ongoing problems with my Mum healthwise.
It is like being in one happy family.

My dad spent 10 months at Long Lea until he died in May 2018. The care he received during that time was wonderful, the staff are so caring and can’t do enough for the residents. Long Lea feels like a real home, very relaxed and friendly.

Review from Jan L (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 February 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My father was really quite poorly when he arrived at Long Lea. In 3 months his general health and well being have improved enormously. I feel he is very well cared for in every way. I feel happy and welcome each time I visit. His room is quite small but this has actually benefitted him as his mobility
is poor so he can use furniture to move around. The staff are caring and kind and I feel they meet dad's needs. He is always washed clean and comfortable when I visit. The day room is bright and mostly full of service users who sit in groups chatting or having a rest. Dad wanted to stay at home as long as possible so moving here was a big decision. We have no regrets he is definitely in the right place. Dad moved his own furniture in so it has become a small home from homes.

Since my grandmother has been cared for she has been extremely happier and she is very well cared for and looked after by all of the staff. We are so lucky to have such a great team looking after her and we will definitely be recommending to others. We have noticed a change in her confidence and it’s
heart warming to see how happy she is and how well she’s settled in.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.665)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.665) out of 10 for Long Lea Residential Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.665 for Long Lea Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (116 Excellents x 5) + (41 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 164 Ratings = 4.665
  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 Long Lea Residential Care Home is based on 14 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 35 registered maximum number of service users is 7, which has been reached with 14 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.
