Generally, Mum was extremely well cared for and looked after. Especially since the appointment of the new nursing manager.
Personal issues well responded to etc...
When mum expressed her wish to attend a church service, the Bursar arranged a computer based 'attendance' a lovely touch.
Generally,
nursing staff, care staff, admin staff and management are professional and caring.

Mum has told me that she has enjoyed her stay at Langford view. The staff have been kind and helpful. She has enjoyed the company and activities and she has eaten what she has wanted and needed. Her room for respite was clean and had plenty of wardrobe space and drawers for putting her clothes in. Her
medication has been administered as and when it was needed (twice daily). Thank you. She doesn't mind the thought of coming back.

Before placing my mother in this home we visited a number of other homes and found Langford View met her needs. She has now been a resident for 4 years and we have been generally happy with standards. Activities are varied and a number of regular visitors. Musicians etc contribute to the rota of activities.
The reception staff are very friendly and you always feel welcome when visiting the home.

Everything is really good and I cannot ask for more. I maintain my independence and go to the garage every morning to buy a newspaper. They have arranged for me to get a bus pass so that I can visit my hometown in Witney. Nothing is too much trouble and the staff always go the extra mile.

My stay here (over 3 and a half years) has been a delight. The bedroom and bathroom are comfortable, adequate for my needs as are community rooms. The staff and manager are all very helpful and friendly. I hope to stay here until meeting the grim reaper.

I love living here now. It took me a while to settle but I am happy now. The carers are very helpful. I only have to ask for something and the carers help me straight away. I enjoy the food here, it always looks nice. I am always asked what food I would like to eat. There is always a choice of foods.

I arrived at 11.30 am which was in the middle of a musical activity. Although it was my first visit to the house. I was made very welcome by all the staff and residents. At the end of the sing-a-long I was encouraged to sit in the garden with my ex-mother-in-law until it was time for her to go to lunch.
I live in Devon but will definitely be back.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mum was resident in March/April as I could no longer care for her at home, this was a big decision and being an ex nurse I wanted her to have the best end of life care. During her stay she was treated extremely well for all aspects of her care, this made for a much less anxious time for me and my
family as mum described it was the next best thing to being at home. Thank you.

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.
