Review from Christine W (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 10 September 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Well I can honestly say in my opinion that this care home is one that is absolutely brilliant. The care and hospitality was 100%. My mother in law was cared for in such a way that she was able to keep her dignity in every way. I would like to say thank you to all of the staff for being so caring, on
behalf of myself and my husband. Thank you for caring so much.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.810)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.810) out of 10 for Long Meadow is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 6 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 4.478 for Long Meadow is calculated as follows: ( (36 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 69 Ratings = 4.478
  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 4.332 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Long Meadow is based on 6 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 = 3.6
    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 41 registered maximum number of service users is 8.2. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.2 = 0.732
  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.

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2024

I have recently joined Long Meadow, and all I can say is what a joy. The last 6 months have been a pleasure in the 24 years I have worked in social care this home has by far been the best of my career.


I have a passion for social care and for the elderly to be able to live their lives to the fullest. To enjoy their remaining days filled with laughter and joy and friendly faces.


We cannot change the ageing process but we can try and make it as comfortable, and fulfilling as possible.
