Review from Jennifer W (Wife of Resident) published on 21 May 2021 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
Because of COVID19, I have only just recently been allowed in the home. My husband entered the home in May 2020, I have only been in the hallway and the dining room where I see my husband so, unfortunately, I am unable to give ratings for some areas. I have found the staff caring, considerate and helpful with any questions I have. I am quite happy with the care my husband is getting during these difficult times.

Review from Yvonne K (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 May 2021 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Mum was given the warmest welcome when she was transferred from hospital. Although Alzheimer’s and hearing problems cause confusion, she obviously feels the care as she keeps thanking the staff and saying she loves them! I have seen a distinct improvement in her well-being and physical health. During pod visits and now, inside the home, I see a kind, consistent, cooperative approach, but have also had good communication and information outside of this. It was a huge worry to hope Mum was in the right home, but to date, I have only high praise for Langdale Lodge. Meantime I feel settled that she is in safe, caring hands.

Review from Andrew W (Son of Resident) published on 20 April 2021 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
The year mum spent in Langdale was the most upsetting time of our lives. I acknowledge it was a difficult time for all due to covid, however, I feel the management at Langdale condescending, argumentative and totally unable to relate to what we were going through at the time.
Mums mental and physical health deteriorated rapidly during her time here, improving only when the family was allowed in to assist with feeding at mealtimes.
Mum, despite having advanced frontal lobe dementia, was also constantly being left alone in her room despite no covid being in the home.
In Feb 2021 after a Dols report agreed with the family the home served notice, obviously not willing to follow the recommendations and instead, trying to blame the family.
Mum has now been in her new nursing home for a couple of months and the difference is remarkable. She has put all weight she lost in Langdale back on (around two stone).

Management had to make special requests to our professional partners in order to ensure that Mum was placed with us as you had made it very clear that Lodge was the only home for you. Lodge kept COVID19 away and we kept your mum safe. We installed wi-fi in all the resident's rooms, provided Ipads...

Overall Experience
Mum has dementia and has been resident in Langdale Lodge for 16 months. We are so pleased that we chose Langdale. Mum has thrived, put weight on and is happy and content. The staff are like one big happy family and the residents are loved and well cared for. There is always something going on, the staff always go the extra mile and nothing is too much trouble. Mum loves to watch the birds in the aviary and the rabbit in the garden. Although we were not able to visit for a while we were kept informed and photographs of Mum were often sent to us. We really appreciate all the hard-working, lovely staff and the management of this superlative facility.
↩Reply from Elena Martin, Operating Manager at Langdale Lodge Care Home
We are so pleased that you chose the Langdale family. Your mum certainly brightens the day and brings love and laughter to all our service users and staff. Langdale Lodge specialises in dementia care, delivered by highly skilled and experienced staff who share a strong passion for delivering...

Overall Experience
We would not recommend this care home to anyone suffering from any form of advanced dementia.
Our relative's best interests, we feel, were not taken into consideration. We found the homes attitude to our concerns unprofessional and condescending.

We are saddened that your experience at Langdale Lodge was not a positive one. Unfortunately, due to the COVID pandemic, the health and social care sector has to follow the strict government rules of shielding and social distancing, in order to protect the vulnerable members of our society. We...

Review from M A (Wife of Resident) published on 7 September 2020 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
When I was asked to find a care home for my husband, I checked CQC and decided Langdale looked best for us. I was proved right when my husband was accepted. The loving care given to him could not be faulted, and all the staff spoke highly of him. His family were given every support through a difficult time, and I would recommend the care home to anyone.

Overall Experience
My husband's end of life care at Langdale Lodge was wonderful. All the staff were kind and respectful to him at all times. They also cared for us as a very traumatic time. Nothing was too much trouble day or night. I will be forever grateful to everyone who works there for helping us at that distressing time. Thank you.

Mum has now lived at Langdale Lodge for just over a year. Her complex needs are well understood there and she receives care and support of high quality, such that her difficulties do not overwhelm her. The staff here are very aware of how to best assist mum, she is well looked after and valued by staff.

The staff are so caring and always welcoming with a smile. Their patience and caring has to be seen to be believed.

Overall Experience
The residents of Langdale Lodge are warm, well fed, happy and well cared for. Perhaps there could be a little more entertainment but then I don't know how far the budget has to stretch, to provide these extra luxuries. The staff work extremely hard and have heaps of patience. They are very caring.

My husband has just come to live here. The staff have been so welcoming and kind to me and my husband. I have been able to dress his room as I wish and encouraged to bring the things he holds dear. He has excellent care and the staff are continually interacting with the resident's and keep me up to date with his progress and his day. I am very happy and relieved he is with staff who care.

Review from Y B (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 April 2018 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
The overall running of the home is very good but as in most homes, when the residents needs become urgent/high priority there is not enough staff to cover 1:1/2. The home has a pleasant atmosphere as the staff are always cheerful and the residents enjoy activities such as sing-a-longs, pamper days and occasional trips out.
Very refreshing to have music playing more often than a TV, that no one wants to watch or even understand the current news. Overall very satisfied with the care for my mum.
