Review from Michael F (Son of Resident) published on 17 April 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I cannot praise highly enough the care and attention that my parents have received whilst they have been resident at Longmead.
My mother has been a resident for 2 years, she suffers from Vascular Dementia and is in her eighties. As a family we feel that she is in the best place, she is safe and secure and well looked after. There are regular visits from GP's, opticians and in her case the local church.
My father, who passed away last year, was also a resident and during his final months he was made as comfortable as possible and it was very apparent the bond between him and the staff was very strong. The individual care that both of my parents have received has been first class.
The staff are very supportive, they genuinely care for the residents in their care.
Visiting has never proved a problem and actively encouraged.
There are local trips out and there is entertainment on a regular basis.

As a family, we are very happy with the service that Longmead supply.
