Review from c B (Friend of Resident) published on 24 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I have visited the home three times. I am impressed by the number of carers who are constantly around, and the fact that, with an open door policy, they can keep an eye on the residents 24/7. The house is beautifully decorated, clean and lacking any bad smell. I appreciate the extra security introduced
by the computerised entry and exit system, but it is also nice to have a person greeting you every time you come in, and someone wishing you well when you depart.

I am continually impressed with the whole experience whenever I visit the home. Everyone is always so friendly and welcoming. The home itself is clean, fresh and very well maintained. I cannot praise all the members of staff highly enough for the care, kindness and respect that they show to my friend.
I was able to witness this at first-hand whilst I was giving my friend her lunch so I could see how kindly they encouraged the other residents to try to eat, without being overbearing and taking into account their feelings. The staff whom I regularly meet are a pleasure to chat too and they are fully aware of the changing needs and emotions of my friend. Thank you to everyone involved in her care.

My friend has been a resident of Lansdowne for about 15 months. I have visited her on several occasions and have been impressed by the excellent care she receives. Her health has stabilised since she has been living here. So is good to see her settled and happy especially today on her 80th birthday.

Not being able to continue looking after our mother at home, it is of great comfort to me to know how well she is being looked after at Lansdowne. Her physical health has improved and she looks healthy again. The staff are professional and caring, and I can not speak highly enough of what I see when
I am visiting.

The staff are wonderfully cheerful and very caring to the patients. The staff ensure all the patients' needs are cared for with a smile. The staff are very patient with the patients. The staff also ensure patients like my mother are involved in activities so they don't just sit in their rooms, enabling
them to make friends and prevent loneliness.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My sister became a resident recently and was made very welcome by all the staff. Her room was freshly decorated with colours that my sister chose, a handyman is always on hand to personalise the room, hang photos, fit shelves where wanted etc.
Although the staff are very busy, they always take care
of my sister's needs, physical and medical, to the point where she was accompanied to an outside medical appointment.
All in all, I am very pleased.
Thank you.

Since the 1st day I arrived at the care home, I always felt welcomed.
They also surprised my dad's birthday and I loved it for him.
My father also loves the majority of the nurses in the care home because it's a warm environment.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.875)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.875) out of 10 for Lansdowne 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 55 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 55 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 4.875 for Lansdowne Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (568 Excellents x 5) + (79 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 648 Ratings = 4.875
  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 Lansdowne Care Home is based on 55 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 92 registered maximum number of service users is 18.4, which has been reached with 55 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.
