Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The team have taken a great deal of care to settle the patient and to adapt to her requirements. Nothing has seemed too much trouble. Everyone, management, lead nurse, carers and catering, have been cheerful and helpful. The room, communal areas and general ambience is great. Activities are inclusive
and a bonus and patients are getting encouraged to partake.

Langham Manor is a very special place because every single member of staff there cares. They care about their residents and they care about their relatives. The end-of-life care they provided my mother-in-law was exemplary. We will always be grateful to them for their kindness, their understanding and
their professionalism.

My father-in-law was taken into Langham Manor on 8th January and ever since has been cared for at the highest standard. The care home is immaculate and all the staff are amazing! They do everything they can to help make my father-in-law comfortable, he says how much he loves the carers and he seems
happy too.
I know he's being well looked after at all times which reassures us all as a family.
Reply from Gaynor Scott, Manager at Langham Manor

We are very lucky here to have such caring and professional staff who take pride in the care they deliver. It is very important to us that the resident in our care is not only cared for to a high standard but the relatives have that reassurance and are cared for too.

Review from Rosie B (Power of Attorney of Resident) published on 28 December 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dear friend, whom I have Power of Attorney for, was transferred from hospital to Langham Manor for end of life care. As a retired nurse and former care home manager myself, I had particularly high expectations of care for my friend; the excellent standard of care she received at Langham Manor far
exceeded my expectations right from the time I was greeted as I arrived by the manager, attention to detail and kindness from all the reception staff, carers, nurses, kitchen staff and the manager to meet my friend's personal choices meant so much to us both, plus all her visitors. Thank you everyone. I can highly recommend the excellent quality of care from staff at Langham Manor.
Reply from Gaynor Scott, Manager at Langham Manor

Went to visit our daughter's mother-in-law on Friday 8th December and were literally stunned at the warm welcome. The absolute cleanliness of the home and happy occupants. Never have I seen such a perfect home! We were shown around the rooms and facilities and have never and I mean never seen anything
so stunning. It's better than a 5* hotel. Congratulations Langham Manor you will never be beaten. Thank you.

Review from Sophie J (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 December 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad was at Langham Manor as end of life care. All the staff were so kind and caring, making sure he was comfortable and pain-free at all times. The attention to detail for his birthday was outstanding.
The staff on duty when he passed away were so touching and little touches by them and management
were so thoughtful. It was just such a shame he was only there for a few weeks. We can't thank Langham Manor enough.
Reply from Gaynor Scott, Manager at Langham Manor

It was a pleasure and an honour to celebrate your father's last birthday. We knew it would mean a lot to you as his family. Sometimes it's the small things that we all do in life that have the biggest impact. I'm pleased that this was the case for you.

I came into Langham Manor for respite care after a bad fall. Never have I met such kindness, nothing is too much trouble and you are waited on hand and foot. Food is delicious, it certainly tempted my appetite back. Everyone, staff and residents are a pleasure to be with. I'm well satisfied with everything.
I would not hesitate to recommend Langham Manor.

I have been very happy since moving into Langham Manor in August. The furnishings and decor are very stylish and outstanding, it feels like a luxury hotel. I like using the bistro, cinema room, hair salon, and had a wonderful afternoon tea in the library room.
Our social events have been fun, we do
card games, bingo, painting, and crafts.
Some outings are planned for the future.
The carers and management are so kind, we are so lucky.

Mum and Dad had been waiting for several months for Langham Manor to open. During that time the management team have been fantastic, keeping us up to date with progress and home visits to talk through admin. Since Mum and Dad have become residents, we have noticed a big improvement in their outlook
on life. Mum started knitting again after many months! The care has been outstanding with regular care reviews and all medical needs met promptly. It is a five-star hotel with care surrounding them.
Reply from Gaynor Scott, Manager at Langham Manor

Thank you for your kind review. I am so pleased that your mum and dad waited until Langham Manor was ready to open. They both bring great joy to staff and other residents in their positive outlook on life.

I think it's brilliant. Wonderful food. I am really well looked after. It is lovely because your family can come in and are welcomed. Two staff members in particular are top of the pops, and the chefs are wonderful and all the carers are fantastic. Lovely to have the outside areas and internal decor
beautiful but also comfy.

I am so pleased with how my father settled into the home. He had a welcoming greeting when he arrived. He was given a choice from the chef for lunch and chose sirloin steak. The chef will cook meals anytime. My father put on 2lbs in the first week. The location is ideal, close to the town centre, my
father was still able to walk to his barbers/paper shop with one of the carers. All staff are friendly, helpful and caring. Nothing is too much trouble. The home has a five-star hotel feeling with five-star food and care. After my father's first week, I was so happy to see him relaxed, happy and his confidence returning. I left with a tear in my eye.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.823)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.823) out of 10 for Langham Manor is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.823 for Langham Manor is calculated as follows: ( (312 Excellents x 5) + (49 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 368 Ratings = 4.823
  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 Langham Manor is based on 31 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 75 registered maximum number of service users is 15, which has been reached with 31 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.
