The manager and his staff have been a lifesaver for me. They took my husband's care over in July 2021. Each month has seen an improvement in his behaviour. They have been excellent and getting diagnostic problems solved. Each month has been an ongoing success.

Thank you for your kind review about the team and the home. It is great to hear about your husband and we will ensure that the team and manager are aware

Well, my mum has been here for five years now after she had a stroke. She would not have been alive if it was not for the wonderful care and attention she gets from all the staff they love her dearly and she loves them. If there are any changes to my mum's routine they always inform me to make sure
it is OK to have any changes. The manager is great and communicates with me on a regular basis. Keep up the good work all of you I know you all work so hard to care for the residents and I would like to say from the bottom of my heart thank you for looking after my mum.
Reply from Ben Makwar, Manager at Longwood Grange Care Home

Thank you for your kind words.Me and my team will continue to work hard and deliver the care that is expected from us.

Mum came into the care home in June 2020 and was immediately made to feel welcome. The staff have always gone above and beyond what they needed to do. The care, love and commitment is boundless. Mum loved her stay here and I am exceedingly grateful for all that has been done.
Reply from Julia Bentley, COO at Longwood Grange Care Home

Staff have been helpful and have contacted us for information and on the whole kept us informed of any adverse events eg: a fall. Difficult to give a comprehensive review as we have been unable to go inside, although from snapshots into and contact we believe that our mother is being cared for as well
as can be expected currently. Have been carrying out activities and her personal care seems adequate. She seems settled and happy enough in the environment. Unable to comment fully on some aspects due to not being able to go inside.
Reply from Paul Millar, Sales Manager at Longwood Grange Care Home

The home is a very pleasant, friendly place to visit my friend. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The home is very pleasant with no smells and all the people look happy and well cared for. If, as I get older and need residential care, I have told my younger brother I would like to go to Longwood
Grange.

My wife's uncle has been at Longwood Grange for a number of years and now suffers from severe dementia.
His care at all times has been absolutely first class, with carers being really understanding of his needs. Management, which has an issue in his early days, is now excellent. We could not be happier
with his care. Longwood Grange has been more than good to him. It has exceeded expectations.
Reply from Paul Millar, Sales Manager at Longwood Grange Care Home

Many thanks for taking the time to review our home. It's our pleasure to care for your wife's uncle. I will of course pass on your comments to our team at Longwood Grange.

Review from Sharon H (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 November 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When our Mum was discharged from hospital we were asked to seek a Care Home. After a long and uneventful morning visiting several, we came across Longwood Grange, and from the first moment we stepped through the door we knew this was the one for our Mum. The staff were so welcoming and friendly, they
showed my sister and I around the whole of the home and we decided there and then that mum would be comfortable and safe there. So after assessment, Mum now resides here and is happy and content in her surroundings. The staff are most helpful and pleasant, always smiling and laughing with the residents. The whole atmosphere and decor is homely - like home from home, it is extremely clean and fresh smelling. Mum's bedroom is always spotless and made up. Nothing is ever too much trouble for the wonderful staff, whether caring for the residents or making relatives at home too. My sister and I know our Mum is in the best place and she is safe and well cared for - cannot praise this home enough.

The home is tastefully furnished and spacious. The kitchen staff provide first-class homely food which my brother greatly appreciates. In spite of staff changes the standard of care remains good. My brother, who is of a somewhat nervous disposition, ays he feels so safe here which is worth a lot to
my sister and I.
Sadly care homes receive much criticism but for us, Longwood Grange Care Home does a good job.

My mother is a resident of Longwood Grange Care Home. She always seems comfortable, clean and tells me that the majority of the carers are friendly and kind to her. The managers and staff will answer any queries I have regarding my mother quickly and efficiently. If my mother is unwell they contact
the GP quickly and inform me at once what has happened. The home is always clean and tidy, my mother is well looked after. Staff are always helpful and polite.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.467)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.467) out of 10 for Longwood Grange Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.467 for Longwood Grange Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (110 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.467
  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 Longwood Grange Care Home is based on 13 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 34 registered maximum number of service users is 6.8, which has been reached with 13 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.
