I cannot thank you all enough for the love and care you have given my wife these few weeks. I would recommend The Langston to anyone. I was impressed with how all the staff from the management down, knew all the residents and their situations and even their relatives.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We are grateful for the trust you placed in us to care for your wife during these past few weeks. Our team works hard to get to know each resident and their families, so it is especially meaningful to hear that this made a difference to your experience. We will be sure to share your lovely feedback with everyone at The Langston.
It became clear at an early point in the accomodation and care that standards are high and maintained. The staff at every level are friendly, positive and proactive. Patients are well served and their welfare and best interests delivered in a homely environment. Activity and stimulation is favourable and significantly supportive and suitable. In all aspects a very caring and suitable home.
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review. We're delighted to hear that you experienced our home as welcoming, supportive, and caring. Your feedback about our staff, activities, and homely atmosphere truly means a lot, and we will be sure to share your comments with the whole team. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience.
My mother was only in here for 7 days but the care she recieved was outstanding!!!! and as a family we were so well looked after by all the staff. At the sad time of her passing the support was fantastic.
My mum spent the last 4 1/2 months of her life here, from day one we could see the respect and care that was given was amazing, every visit mum was looking comfortable, the room was clean and tidy. Mum was bedridden so activities were not used but someone always had time to sit and chat with mum, she needed assistance with every part of her life and this was given with love.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share these kind words. It means a great deal to our entire team. We are truly honoured to have been able to care for your mum during the last months of her life, and we're glad to know she felt comfortable and supported.
Although my husband is no longer at the Langston he spent nearly 2 years in their care. I was always impressed by the kindness shown both to him and the family. The care was excellent and I keep in touch still to this day. Thank you on behalf of us all.
Thank you so much for your kind message. Warm wishes to you and your family.
The home offers a wonderful range of activities. Staff are really attentive to my brothers needs.
The food is excellent, catering to all tastes.
From day 1 we were welcomed into the home and I was secure in the knowledge my brother, who has Parkinsons would be well looked after.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and feedback about the care your brother is receiving. We really appreciate your kind words.
The management and staff got to know her very well ( including secretary, cooks and domestic staff). Her needs were met wherever possible.
As end of life approached she was reassured that her wishes would be fulfilled ( as far as medically possible). For example not going to hospital and oxygen being available if she needed it. She was made comfortable with sensitivity and care and continually checked on.
I visited often, was welcomed and cared for.
Some residents had dementia and their behaviour unpredictable. Nonetheless staff were patient and kind. An example of this; I was sometimes there late at night and saw folk still up in pyjamas, in the living room wrapped up cosily in a blankets as they didn't want to go to bed till later.
I would definitely recommend the Langston and would like to thank them publicly for the care of my dear friend.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We're truly honoured to have cared for your dear friend and grateful for your kind words about our team. Your recommendation means a lot to us.
The gentleman I care for went into respite care for ten days. He settled in straight away and was very well cared for by all the staff. I was able to visit with him at various days and times and on arrival always found him happy and settled. The staff were very hospitable and kind to family visiting as well. I have certainly no hesitation in recommending them and using them again in the future. The gentleman on respite was happy so makes me his main carer happy. Thank you all for having him and looking after him so well.
Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful review. We would be more than happy to welcome him again in the future and appreciate your recommendation. Thank you for trusting us with his care!
I am really pleased that I changed homes for my brother and brought him closer to where I live though he can be difficult at times I feel the staff at The Langston are kind, caring and extremely attentive towards him. I always find everyone friendly when I arrive to see him and always ask if I want any refreshments or lunch if I am there when meals are served.
it is always good to hear your comments. Much appreciated.
I recently visited my stepfather with some other family members. We walked in during an activity session which was great to see. The staff as ever were so kind towards not only my stepfather but all of us too. The home is always so clean and well taken care of and more importantly, so is my stepfather. We have always found the staff to be attentive, patient and kind towards the residents which we find very reassuring in difficult circumstances.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We really appreciate your kind words, means a lot to the whole team.
I went to the Langston’s Priory in Kingham to see my stepfather and was really surprised at how pleasant the experience was. The place was clean, warm and friendly, and the staff really friendly and kind and very caring to me - let alone my stepfather. I think I expected something totally different and was a little shocked at how, much more pleasant the visit was than I thought it was gonna be and this had a lot to do with the staff. Very friendly and very caring. I’m coming back to the States in two days and I’m not gonna worry about I am as much as I did. Now that I know he is being cared for by such lovely caring people - it’s a very hard job and I’m very difficult job and it takes a very special person to do that job so thank you
Thank you so much for your feedback, your kind words are appreciated by the whole team!
My mother moved into The Langston two months ago. The staff have been welcoming, professional and supportive, and she feels settled and looked after. The staff brought her to our home last week when they had the use of a minibus, and my mother had a wonderful day out. She had also had two very enjoyable day trips in the minibus the previous week, which gave her confidence. It would be very helpful if the home had their own minibus.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We appreciate your kind words.
Staff very kind and sensitive.
Thank you for your kind review; it means a lot to our team.
My experience was excellent from the off. My father was accepted into the nursing home for his last weeks of life. The management and staff were all so friendly and kind, nothing was too much trouble. I was greeted at the door and instantly offered tea or coffee. Although my father was only in the home for two weeks, I was happy that he was so well cared for, I could not have asked for more. The cleanliness of the home was outstanding, whatever he required he got, it was a plus that there are no set visiting times, you are welcome any time. Brilliant all-round. Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and feedback about the care your dad has received. We really appreciate your kind words.
Excellent staff, very kind and considerate.
Thank you for the comments, much appreciated.
During my father's short stay at The Langston, we found the staff to be extremely helpful and caring. Nothing was too much trouble for them, amazing. They made him very welcome.
It is pleasing to hear comments like this, very encouraging and much appreciated.
My father is a resident of The Langston Residential & Nursing Home, He suffers from dementia. All staff are so kind, patient and understanding and we know that dad is getting 1st class care. Always quick to contact you with any concerns and we are more than happy with the care he is receiving. We are so grateful that The Langston is close by and I visit every day and always find him happy and settled which is a great to see. I cannot recommend The Langston enough for their compassion and for always being professional making every resident feel like they are in a family environment. Thank you all for your support also with family and reassuring us that we know he is safe and cared for.
Directors
My father was a resident of The Langston Residential & Nursing Home from June 2021 until his death in February 2023. He suffered from Parkinson's and dementia and was 96 when he passed away. Throughout his time there his care was absolutely first-rate. I have crossed paths with dozens of staff and without exception, they have been gentle, considerate and extremely patient. Overall, the home has perfected the blend of combining the very professional with the very personal and I could not help but be struck by how much individual members of staff personally cared for the wellbeing of my dad, and, I must say, as my dad was in his final days, for me too. It genuinely provides peace of mind to know that my dad's final couple of years were lived in the company of people who made him feel safe, happy and loved. I cannot commend The Langston more highly.
Thank you ever so much for the kind words and I very much appreciate the comments as they are very valuable to all of us.
The home has been welcoming to all our family, and we appreciate them letting us personalise her room and putting a bird feeder up outside her window, to make her feel more at home.
They have a wide range of activities available and plenty of fresh homemade cakes.
Thank you so much for your lovely words, means so much to us.
The care home is always spotlessly clean and always very well maintained.
I can't thank the staff enough.
Thank you so much for your great feedback, it's really appreciated by the whole team.
