Lansdowne is a well-positioned and designed home, with each floor having individual rooms, a dining room and spacious lounge facilities - all pleasantly decorated. Regular activities are provided indoors and in the patio garden, when weather permits. But it is all the staff and management who really
make Lansdowne the happy vibrant home it is. They are without exception dedicated, caring and professional. They are totally committed to the needs of residents and supportive of relatives. My husband is extremely happy and content. I couldn't wish for better care for him.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother has been at this care home since May 2018.
The staff are all very attentive and kind and very caring, both to my mother and myself. They try very hard to accommodate her's and other residents' wants and needs even though sometimes they can be a bit overstretched, during staff holidays and
sickness (I have taken this up with the home and they are trying to remedy it) even then, they are still always smiling. A new house manager and regional manager have been recently appointed and they are both very enthusiastic and have great plans for the home which is very encouraging. They are also very open to comments and discussion with both residents and relatives, which is very important. My mother is very happy there but anything that will make it better is very welcome.

I was so pleased how the home celebrated the 70th Anniversary of Windrush Day on Friday 22nd June. My mother and other residents were very happy. It is very beautiful how the Activity Coordinator interacts with residents and she did a good job for residents to celebrate this occasion specially this
year. The home manager was with the residents while songs were played. I am glad they care about residents' background and all celebrate as one I am so happy my mother is there.

My father came to Landsdowne in August 2013, diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. I have been extremely pleased with the care and attention he has received.
All the staff are attentive and kind, at all times.
There has been a huge and noticeable improvement in general maintenance in the last couple

He is very happy here.

My mother was in this care home for only one month as she required nursing care. The care staff, nursing staff and management were amazing, they were very courteous, respectful and nothing was too much trouble. The premises was constantly being cleaned and was spotless because of this. I would recommend
this care home to anyone looking for a placement for a loved one.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.873)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.873) 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 54 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 54 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 4.873 for Lansdowne Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (556 Excellents x 5) + (79 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 636 Ratings = 4.873
  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 54 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 54 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.
