Dad moved into Langley House Residential Care Home in Horden in November 2025. Sadly, he had a fall a few days after being there but the staff were quick to call an ambulance and dad was taken good care of until it arrived. After his operation, he went back to Langley House. The staff are absolutely
lovely.
They're so kind, patient and helpful and take such good care of the residents. Although he has only been there a short time, they have helped make him feel very welcome. The food is great and plentiful. There was something going on to entertain the residents every day in the run up to Christmas. Some of the local children came in to sing carols, there was a nativity play and an Elvis tribute to name but a few things. It's so nice to see the smiles in so many faces. Let's hope it continues.

Since Mam has came into Langley House she has become less distressed with her vascular dementia. She takes part in the activities especially when there is entertainment on as she loves music. The staff take really good care of her which is such a comfort knowing she is safe and happy. She enjoys her
meals and she has a lovely room.
Over the moon with the service provided couldn't recommend enough.

My mam was a resident in Langley House for around 4 months due to poor mobility and was in need of 24-hour care, first impression on visiting before Mam moved in to look around was polite, friendly and happy by all the staff, lovely spacious rooms, clean and well decorated, just ready to move in, the
staff went above and beyond to help with her needs even at difficult times when Mam would tend to be stubborn and challenging. I would recommend Langley House for all care needs, the staff are amazing, thank you for all the love and care giving to my mam.

Mam always seems content whenever I visit. She's well cared for and fed. I know this, as she's put on weight!
On my last visit, they were having a Halloween party. Mam and many others were up dancing and singing, having a wonderful time.
All the staff are friendly and caring. I've noticed they're
very efficient at getting all their residents up and into the dining hall at meal times, no matter what level of assistance the resident needs.
I've visited different days and times and I have always been welcomed by staff members and they are always on hand caring for their residents.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.898)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.898) out of 10 for Langley House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 50 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 50 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.898 for Langley House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (544 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 596 Ratings = 4.898

  • b) 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 Langley House Care Home is based on 50 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 50 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Registered Home Manager

Joined: 2022

I have worked in the care sector since the age of 18. I completed a Health and Social Care course in sixth form and completed a 6-week placement in a care home, and from then I knew working in care was what I wanted to do. I started as a Care Assistant and progressed to Senior Care then Deputy Manager then Manager. I have completed my GNVQ in Health and Social Care, I have my NVQ levels 2, 3, 4 and 5. I started for Ascot Care in 2007 as Senior Carer then Deputy Manager in 2009 till I progressed to Home Manager of Langley House in 2022.


During my 2 years at Langley House, we have gone from “requires improvement” to “Good” in all areas, and we are the first home in the North East to be a Veteran Friendly Accredited Home, which is an achievement.

I have worked at Langley House since 2010. I started as a Kitchen Assistant and worked my way up to Carer, Senior Carer and now Deputy Manager.

When I started as a Kitchen Assistant it was lovely working with the elderly and made me want to progress in the care side, which I have loved over the past 14 years. We are the first home in the North East to be a Veteran Friendly Accredited Home, which is an achievement. I take a great interest in this as I have family in the service, and it has been very rewarding to complete this accreditation.
