Langley House is a caring care home. Everything from cleaning of rooms is excellent, the food, all meals are excellent also. Entertainment is provided for all and most of us join in if we are able to. We have a motivator who certainly gets us all moving including armchair exercises. I certainly feel
an improvement. They are lovely people, from staff to residents.

I am a regular visitor to this lovely, vibrant home to see my friend who is a resident. The staff are always extremely friendly and very professional at all times. Nothing is ever a problem.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I would like to say a huge thank you! To the manager and her team. I cannot recommend this care home enough all the staff show not just my mam but all the residents so much genuine care and attention. When you have to make the difficult decision of choosing a care home it can become quite daunting and
very worrying in case your loved one is not looked after and cared for as they should be. But Langley House goes above and beyond and it's not just a job to those girls it's wholehearted love affection, support and kindness they give to my mam daily that makes them stand out from other facilities. They have all sorts of activities daily to engage with everyone and nothing is too much trouble for any of the great bunch of people they have working in my eyes they deserve medals and I cannot rate them high enough. Thank you!

My mum has been at Langley House for 20 months now. My brother looked at several other care homes, before choosing this one. He could not have made a better choice. The home is so clean and the staff are amazing. They are always arranging activities for the residents. My mum couldn’t be happier. Thank
you to the manager and your brilliant team.

My dad lives in Langley House and the difference since he came to live here is extraordinary. He is so happy here, he loves all the staff as do I. If something is wrong they let me know straight away, he loves his days out and they encourage him to make friends. When I visit the home, it is always clean
and Dad loves the food and calls the girls his angels. I cannot thank the staff at Langley House enough.

The care which has been given has been excellent. The staff go the extra mile looking after my husband feeding him and keeping him well groomed. He is very content. The home is extremely clean and well-kept, and his room is very homely. The staff are very caring, friendly and very approachable. We are
hoping to continue using Langely House for further respite care in the future.

My aunty went into Langley House for respite care whilst myself and my wife had a holiday. Fantastic care was given overall. The staff and manager could not be more helpful. My aunty was eating three times a day and we could see on our return the improvements in her health. Well done to all the staff
at Langley. My aunty enjoyed her stay very much.

The Manager, staff (day and night) cooks and cleaners all do their upmost to care. Always have the resident's mental and physical needs at heart, doing their best however their hands are tied waiting for referrals eg. Physio's, Doctors etc. Unfortunately, the waiting times are weeks rather than days.

The staff are friendly when I come in and tell me if my husband has been for breakfast. The girl from the laundry asks if there are any clothes to be washed. In the room, he is brought coffee and biscuits and I'm offered a drink. This level of care happens any time of the day which is good.

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.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 50 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. 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:

  1. 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
  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 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:

    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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 50 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.

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.

Job Title: Deputy Manager Joined: 2021

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. I have my NVQ level 2 and 3 in Health and Social Care and I have my NVQ in Team Leading. 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.
