The staff at Langford View are great. Dad is well looked after and cared for, which makes things much easier for the rest of the family. It's nice that there are more male staff now. Visiting is easier, new Covid is less prevalent - so once to be able to visit more often and it's easier to do so.

Review from Brian M (Son of Resident) published on 4 February 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mother stayed at Langford View for over 8 years until her passing in January 2022. Throughout, she has been kept warm, comfortable, safe, and well cared for. Langford View is modern and the rooms with integral ensuite are furnished to a high standard. However, it is the nursing, caring, support,
and admin staff who give the home the excellent atmosphere, and the teamwork is commendable. The staff are efficient, friendly, and purposeful. Indeed, a few carers, who became well known by my mother, were instrumental in establishing a firm and endearing bond with my mother, and they helped her general demeanour and quality of life. The lead carers work hard to ensure that individual resident nursing and care needs are met, and are adapted to meet each resident's requirements. I strongly recommend Langford View and am so grateful to the house manager and staff for all the support they have given to my mother and to me and my family.

Since my mother became a resident at Langford View, she has received excellent support and care from the entire team. More recently, when my brother died, the support that my family, my mother and I had to help us inform my mother of her son's death was first class. A huge thank you to everyone involved.

Staff are caring and compassionate and have shown exceptional resilience in COVID times. Dad is well cared for and very happy and settled. He has praised the catering staff, and in better times, thoroughly enjoyed the activities laid on by the entertainment manager which involved family and friends.
Most recently he has appreciated the lovely garden saying everywhere you look there's something to see. It's a lovely care home.

We felt that mum was well looked after, giving us much peace of mind. We thought she looked better with a regular routine, mealtime and bedtime, etc. Due to her dementia, she has been very confused at home and the staff were all very caring and kind to her.

My husband passed away end of September. He was given wonderful care and nursing.
He was treated with dignity and love. The support I also received was second to none. I have much respect for these people, carers, staff, kitchen and above all, management. Thank you for making this difficult time bearable.
This is a very special care home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All my 'aunt's' needs are provided for.
Two years ago, before she came here, she was suffering and trying to cope at home, to the frustration of all her family and friends who could see her deteriorating by the day.
Here, she is well cared for and it is consoling to now that all her needs are taken
care of.
Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been visiting my friend, ex-neighbour for about a year. The care I see her receiving is indeed excellent and the care workers I've met there are so pleasant and helpful. She is very well cared for when she has been unwell they spoke to me and explained her care. When I visit once a week staff
are very friendly towards me.
I have said to my son if I should get dementia I would be happy to go there instead of another home which was my first choice. I could find no fault with it.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife was a resident at Langford View for three years. For that period of time, my wife and I were given nothing but help and courtesy. Nothing ever seemed too much for the staff whether it concerned, care, medical or clerical, for that I can't thank each and every one of them. My thanks unconditionally.
Lastly, Langford View was always spotlessly clean and inviting.

With regard to my score for the food and drink, I have scored it satisfactory, even though the meals themselves are hot and tasty. My main issue is that the menu is repetitive and lacks imagination. The menu is frequently changed at the last moment for no apparent reason. Being the youngest here at
67, I have not participated in the activities so cannot in all honesty comment.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.670)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.670) out of 10 for Langford View is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.670 for Langford View is calculated as follows: ( (238 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (10 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 297 Ratings = 4.67
  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 Langford View is based on 24 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 24 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.
