Review from J W (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 July 2023 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My parents were resident in Long Meadows Nursing Home from February 21 to May 23. They were always treated with dignity and respect. Carers were unfailingly patient and kind. Communication with the manager and assistant manager was very good. Concerns and observations were acted on promptly. Staff, including the manager, knew my parents well and responded caringly to their needs.
My parents were always in clean appropriate clothing. The interior and surroundings of the home were clean and welcoming. The food was good and alternatives were provided. Activities were regularly provided to engage those who chose to. Staff turnover during their stay was low and the manager was very supportive coming in at weekends and nights if problems arose. I shall be eternally grateful for the care they received.
↩Reply from Kathleen Giles, Manager at Long Meadows Residential Care Home
Thank you so much for the kind words. Mum and Dad were just lovely, They enjoyed the family visit and Mum enjoyed your trips out as well as the activities in the home.

Review from Sheila L (Wife of Resident) published on 14 January 2022 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My husband was here for a few weeks of emergency respite care. The home is clean and warm, and I found the Manager, and the staff, to be very friendly and caring. which gave me peace of mind and I can’t thank them enough for that. This was our first experience of care homes, and it was a very positive one. I would recommend Long Meadows to anyone looking for a home to care for a loved one.

Thank you so much, for those kind words. We do miss you both. We hope you are both well.

Review from Neil P (Son of Resident) published on 9 April 2021 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
I really cannot speak highly enough of the manager and her staff at Long Meadows Nursing Home where my mum has been since January this year. Mum joined when the Covid-19 pandemic was at its height and during lockdown when things were very difficult for us all. I need not have worried as she was made to feel very welcome and part of the family; she settled in remarkably quickly. The care that all the staff express is exceptional to residents and relations alike, a genuine kindness with warmth and compassion, nothing is too much trouble. Mum is now very settled and happy which is so reassuring, and of course, important for all her family to know that she feels this way. A big thank you to everyone who works at Long Meadows Nursing Home, no matter what part or role you play, you make a great team.
↩Reply from Kathleen Giles, Manager at Long Meadows Residential Care Home
Thank you so much, Neil, for the kind review. We are a very caring home, and both staff and the management team go out of their way to ensure our residents are given the best care we can. Mum is now a member of our extended family, along with any member of her own family.

Overall Experience
I would like to thank the manager and all the lovely staff for their kindness dedication and superb care they give to my husband.
This is a truly wonderful care home where the residents are their priority in every way. I can't praise them enough for the way they have welcomed my husband into their care. He is a very quiet man but has settled in here really well which is very comforting to me.
They are also extremely helpful when I need to phone, nothing is too much trouble.
I would have no hesitation to recommend this home to anyone.
An absolute five-star rating in every way!

Review from Alan A (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 11 January 2021 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
I cannot speak highly enough of the new manager and her staff team in terms of their commitment to person-centred care and safety. My mother-in-law was able to have a special 90th birthday even at this difficult time. The support to relatives is above and beyond what is usually found in care homes. I would not hesitate to recommend Long Meadow Care Home.
↩Reply from Kathleen Giles, Manager at Long Meadows Residential Care Home
Thank you so much for those kind words. The home is continuing to improve and the residents are well looked after by the team. The home continues to be Covid-free and we are going from strength to strength.

Review from Julie A (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 November 2020 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
The registered manager is totally focused on the wellbeing and safety of those within her care. Her caring and dedicated staff team provide the residents at Long Meadows with person-centered care to a good standard. My mother has clearly thrived since the manager has assumed management responsibility for Long Meadows care home.
↩Reply from Kathleen Giles, Manager at Long Meadows Residential Care Home
Thank you, Julie, for your kind review, the home is going from strength to strength and we are committed to ensuring all of our residents well being is centred around safe, and caring. We offer person-centred care as a priority.

Review from Danielle M (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 12 May 2016 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Having moved from an inappropriate facility into Long Meadow, my grandmother settled quickly and the difference in care that she received was amazing. The staff are wonderful. They genuinely care - even with the occasionally ratty lady that gran becomes! They've done everything they can to involve a bed bound old lady in activities. Whilst the actual house may look a bit scruffy, it's clean and the staff make it into the home that it is.
