Long Meadow is a welcoming happy care home with well trained, sympathetic, very caring staff who are always approachable and communicative. My mother has been a resident for nearly 18 months and I have only ever seen her treated with care, dignity and respect. The staff interact wonderfully with her and she with them. She has a lovely room overlooking the extensive gardens and has been very happy here. There is a lovely atmosphere between staff and in the home generally. Mum is lucky to be here!
I am entirely satisfied with the superb care my mother receives. The staff are excellent and Longmeadow is managed very well. It is a cheerful, homely place where visitors feel like part of the 'family' and nothing is too much trouble.

My nana lived at Long Meadow for seven years. She had dementia and was cared for wonderfully by the staff. When nana was put into end of life care all the staff looked after both nana and all my family who stayed by her bedside for the last five days of her life. We could not have been made to feel more welcome and at home. I have nothing but praise for everyone at Long Meadow, it's very clear that everyone there loves their job and cares immensely about the residents.
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,...

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 to make it as comfortable and fulfilling as possible.

I have been at Long Meadows for over 24 years.
I have a passion for caring and helping people.
I have always had a special place in my heart for Long Meadow.
