Review from P D (Wife of Resident) published on 19 June 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
As I have been unable to see my husband since the middle of March, I can only write about earlier. I was very happy with the care my husband was receiving and presume it continued. There was a photo on Facebook when he looked very well. I wish there was a more 'formal' way of knowing about residents
as when I phone I get the feeling they are busy and I don't want to interrupt. There is a new company running Longridge Hall and things may well have changed since I visited.
Reply from Tracey Bourne, Registered Manager at Longridge HallThank you for your feedback. If you would like to get in contact and we can discuss a way in which we will be able to facilitate a regular update, we do have Skype and Facebook and I can also provide a weekly update via email.

Review from Janette M (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 June 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff are amazing! The manager leads her team and is well respected and liked. All the staff are very professional but are also extremely caring, thoughtful and helpful. They were very patient and just as determined as I was to sort out Skype for Dad to see and talk to Mum. He gets so emotional
and upset in a good way to see Mum. They have been married 67 years now.
Reply from Tracey Bourne, Registered Manager at Longridge HallThank you for your fantastic feedback, I will be sure to pass this onto all the staff. I'm sure it must be so emotional for your dad not being able to come and see your mum but hopefully we will be able to arrange this as soon as possible.

I am very happy with the care during the pandemic. The Facebook page has been excellent and to some extent has made up for not being able to visit. The staff are excellent, professional and caring.
Reply from Tracey Bourne, Registered Manager at Longridge HallThank you for you feedback, I will be sure to pass these comments onto the staff team.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Lovely care home. Very clean, bright and welcoming. The staff are very caring and supportive and treat residents with dignity. What really lets the care home down is the food, which my mother finds very unpalatable.

As a team, we strive to provide the best care possible for our residents, and I am very pleased to hear that you find our home to be lovely, bright and welcoming.

My mum has been very ill recently and staff have been very kind and caring towards her. Their care of her has been beyond my expectations and my mum is now recovering. Staff are very thoughtful and have looked after Mum very well.

My Mother has lived here for nearly 3 years. I have been very pleased with all the care she has received during this time. The staff are so kind, nothing is too much trouble. Any medical problems are promptly dealt with and I am kept well informed.
My Mother often says 'I am so lucky to have found
this place to live in!'
Over the years I have been happy that my Mother has been cared for in a sympathetic and efficient way.
I would gladly recommend Longridge Hall to friend and family.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.326)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.326) out of 10 for Longridge Hall 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 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 4.526 for Longridge Hall is calculated as follows: ( (103 Excellents x 5) + (41 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 154 Ratings = 4.526
  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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Longridge Hall is based on 12 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.8
    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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 12 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.

Reggie

Reggie

Job Title: Pet Therapy Dog Joined: 2020

I’m Reggie the Chihuahua and I’m Longridge Hall’s pet therapy dog. I may be small, but I have a big heart! I love people, as they are so good at giving me fuss and hugs. My mum Karina (who is a carer here at Longridge) thought I would be a useful part of the team as a therapy dog.


I get to meet lots of different residents and love all the belly rubs and attention they give me. I offer companionship, unconditional love, and fun. I’m told being a therapy dog I help improve people’s mood and I have a calming effect.


Residents like to stroke me, talk to me and some even toss me a ball. I let the residents decide how they want to interact with me – I can stay on the floor or sit on a lap. Not everybody wants to pet me, which is fine, it’s a personal choice.
