Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is the first time we have had the opportunity to visit my mother in law at Longmead . We were very impressed with the community feel at Longmead and how well my mother in law had settled into her new 'home' . All the staff are commendable from the reception, the nurses , assistant carers and the
catering staff ( excellent food ) . Multiple 'home' visits from NHS made medical care and appointments very easy . My mother in laws room was kept very clean and small touches from her old 'home' made her room welcoming. Thanks again to ALL the staff for caring for my mother in law with dignity, efficiency and most importantly with a smile .

we moved my father here after being refused admission to his previous home after a hospital stay. The staff were friendly and supportive and within a short time he was happy and settled. His care needs were exceptionally dealt with and i was kept fully informed of any changes. As my father declined
he was well supported and i was very happy we had made this move to longmead. we would highly recommend here for their family atmosphere and care.

My husband was admitted to Longmead Court Nursing Home from another medical facility for end-of-life care. I was anxious about the care he would receive as I'd had no choice in the placement. However, I quickly realised my concerns were unfounded. From his reception to his passing, he received dedicated
care, as I have never witnessed before. The compassion and nursing skills combined allowed him to end his life peacefully and comfortably.

My mother was admitted to Longmead in March 2023 after a very stressful 3 weeks in hospital after a fall. The treatment she received once she arrived at the home, was excellent. She was dealt with in a very caring manner and all the staff are always helpful and friendly when you visit.

Review from A M (Wife of Resident) published on 9 December 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I write this review soon after my husband of 54 years has died following inoperable brain tumours. Life at the end was as good as it could be, thanks to the staff at Longmead Court. He was welcomed to Longmead from hospital, a very ill and unhappy man. The nursing staff instinctively knew how to talk
to him and put him at ease, explaining what they needed to do and how they would care for him. He had hated being in hospital and this felt like a sanctuary to us both. He could be challenging but they saw through this to the man behind the brain tumour and gave him just incredible, respectful loving care. His bright sunny room became our home for the last 6 weeks. All the staff, from the caring admin staff, nurses, care staff and the cleaning, catering and ancillary staff could not have been more friendly and helpful to me and my family. They were careful to support us too, we felt we could talk to them about any worries and fears. Amazing committed people!
Reply from Vanessa Wells, Manager at Longmead Court Nursing Home

We are deeply touched by your kind and thoughtful words during such a profoundly difficult time. Please accept our heartfelt condolences for the loss of your beloved husband. It means the world to us that you found Longmead Court to be a sanctuary for both you and your husband in his final weeks. Knowing that he felt at ease, cared for, and respected is exactly what we strive for every day. Your acknowledgement of our team's compassion and dedication is truly humbling. We will share your kind words with everyone here, from the nurses and carers to the ancillary staff, as they will be truly grateful to have their hard work and dedication recognised and acknowledged. Thank you for taking the time to share such a poignant and heartfelt review. It was an honour to care for your husband and to support your family during this time. If there is anything more we can do for you, please don't hesitate to reach out. With deepest sympathy from all at Longmead Court Nursing Home.

My wife was transferred here from the hospital after a hemiarthroplasty of a broken hip, successful but ruined by too-early discharge. In Longmead she needed dementia care and palliative wound care. Both were provided by a competent staff of nurses and carers very well.
Reply from Kelly Corrie, Manager at Longmead Court Nursing Home

Thank you for taking the time to review Longmead Court at this difficult moment in your wife's care. Combining nursing and dementia care requires considerable knowledge, compassion and understanding. We're so glad you found our nurses and staff achieved this very well and will pass your comments on to them.

Our dad was placed in Longmead Court 3 weeks ago it was the only care home which would take him from the hospital. We are both so grateful to you. Our dad was cared for so well, 24 hour care one on one. The staff were absolutely amazing, gentle and caring. Our dad passed away with dignity and comfort
and we could visit him whenever we wanted. We both feel so grateful to you all. Thank you.

We can't praise the staff of Longmead Court highly enough for the excellent care they are providing for my mother. They are all very special people. They do their best to bring my mother suitable food - and, although she struggles to eat, everything is well cooked and tasty, and we are delighted with
the care in preparation. Mother's room is beautifully decorated and pleasant to be in. It's always very clean. Thank you all so much for the care you provide.

The team at Longmead provided professional, personalised and thoughtful care to my lovely nanny and us as a family throughout her stay and through her passing. We considered moving Nan to a closer home (that was also significantly less costly) however she was so comfortable at Longmead and we were so
happy with the care that we decided to have her stay and we’re so pleased we did. The end-of-life care and consideration was exceptional. The genuine, authentic extra care and kindness was unexpected and made what has been the most sad time a little more tolerable. Words can’t actually explain the difference the team made and we will be forever grateful. Thank you to every single person from the Longmead team who extended such kindness to the nanny and to us. We appreciate each and every one of you.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.693)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.693) out of 10 for Longmead Court Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.693 for Longmead Court Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (170 Excellents x 5) + (51 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 231 Ratings = 4.693
  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 Longmead Court Nursing Home is based on 20 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 54 registered maximum number of service users is 10.8, which has been reached with 20 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.
