Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When I rang the bell at Longwood Grange Care Home, I was greeted by a very friendly member of staff and shown into the office. There I was greeted again by more very friendly staff members, I was absolutely blown over how lovely and caring everyone was and I just knew this was the right place for dad.
I was given a tour of the home, the rooms are lovely and spotlessly clean. The dining room is set out nicely with tablecloths and fresh flowers on each table. The meals are fabulous too, in fact, dad has put weight on. I couldn't wish for a nicer place for dad. Nothing is too much trouble for anyone at Longwood Grange Care Home.

Longwood Grange is an excellent run care home, the staff are wonderful and go out of their way to make visitors welcome as well as taking excellent care of the residents. My mum has bad dementia and she is treated with dignity and respect from all members of staff even though she can be very difficult
at times. The meals are excellent and a good varied menu.

Review from Saheli J (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 March 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot praise this home enough. From the Managers to the care workers and the ancillary staff, they have all looked after my father with love, dignity and respect. I could not have found a better home for him. What Longwood lacks in facilities (en suite bathrooms etc) it more than makes up for with
care. My dad was there from June 2015, he had dementia. Two weeks ago he had to be readmitted into hospital with kidney failure and we were informed he would need nursing care for his remaining days. Knowing Longwood is not a nursing home I thought that I would have to look for another home but the staff insisted that my dad come back to his "family" to die.
This he did and all the staff could not have done any more for him or me during this difficult time and the way they looked after my sister and me was fantastic.

Review from Ian M (Son of Resident) published on 5 January 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I had to find a care home for my Mum as I was going into hospital. I called three homes closest to where we live and they could not oblige for various reasons. I looked at Longwood Grange and glad I did. I visited for a tour and from the start I was really impressed, this is like a 5 star hotel. The
management team, staff, rooms and facilities everything was excellent. My mum had a great stay there, very well looked after while I was in my recovery time at home. The residents are happy well cared for by the professional management team and the staff. I have no hesitation of putting my Mum in Longwood Grange in the future. I hope someone puts me in there when I get old, thank you very much.

The staff were all right, but you had to wait a long time before someone came to take you to the toilet. Also all day long just the television and nothing else.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The home is warm and friendly and you are encouraged to treat it as your own, my dog is welcome and is patted and stroked by most of the residents. The care staff are kind, welcoming and have time to chat make you a drink and are really nice to my mum reassuring her and keeping her safe which was my
main concern. They interact with residents combing their hair, painting nails, making them feel valued. So glad we found this home for my mum.

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.
