Longview care home provided excellent care for my mother. I am a nurse with 41 years of NHS experience and not easily impressed, but the compassionate care my mother received was second to none. All the staff treated my mother with dignity and respect in her final 3 weeks of life. We stayed with mum
for her last 72 hours, and the staff's care for us was exemplary, with endless cups of tea and support. I would have no concern whatsoever about using Longview again if the need arises.

My wife came to Longview at the end of Dec 25 as a resident with advanced Alzheimer's and in poor health. From the very start she, and I, were made so welcome, and her subsequent care was exemplary. The staff are amazing -- so gentle, caring, competent, courteous and full of smiles. The end-of-life
care they gave her ensured that she was never distressed, and the same loving care was extended to me and to my family whilst we effectively 'lived' at Longview during my wife's final days. I cannot speak highly enough of the way the staff, from the manager through to the most junior staff member, treated her and us. Longview Care Home is indeed a home, and it is a lovely, immaculate place. How lucky we are to have such an excellent facility in Cornwall. We cannot thank you enough as you helped us through our difficult journey; we could not have done it without you. Bless you all.

I have been absolutely overwhelmed with the care, love, excellence, attention to detail and kindness that has been shown to us as our dearest mum transitions, from one Care Home to another. Everyone has been so very kind and welcoming and has gone beyond the extra mile to help and reassure us, as
we walk this path for the absolute best for dear mum. We are extremely thankful and grateful for all your hard walk and kindness. The care staff team are absolutely amazing, full of smiles and love and care and so very, very helpful and won't let me do anything! They look after us with the same love and care as they do our dear mum. My first two thoughts of the place were how beautiful it is and exceptional in every way. Bless you all loads and loads let's continue to walk this path together steadfast and with the same absolute excellence from day one right through for as long as we need. We couldn't manage without and you have taken a heavy weight off us. You are all absolutely amazing!!!

My Mum is a resident at Longview, and she couldn't be in better hands. Due to her Alzheimer's it became impossible for us to care for her at home. We were apprehensive about Mum going to a home; however, we knew it was necessary for Mum's safety and well-being.
From the minute we stepped through
the door, we were welcomed like old friends. The staff are so kind and caring; they take the time to get to know the residents and their families, and they have made Mum's transition into residential care as smooth as possible, especially as Mum can be very unsettled at times.
The accommodation and facilities are spotless, Mum's dietary needs as a vegetarian are well catered to, and the home offers activities for residents to enjoy throughout the week.
We are kept updated on Mum's health as well as any concerns raised by the staff or visiting doctor. Mum is well looked after, with expert and compassionate round-the-clock care.
I highly recommend Longview for people needing dementia care 24/7.

My Grandma is so well looked after at Longview. The whole team of staff are lovely, patient and very attentive to all of the residents needs. Dementia can be difficult for the sufferer and the family, but it helps knowing that my Grandma is getting the best possible care at Longview who have shown
myself and my family so much kindness and compassion as we've navigated this journey.

My husband, John arrived at Longview during August and I am delighted with the care he is receiving and also the way that I am kept up to date on his condition. I am always welcomed with a smile when I visit and also offered coffee and biscuits.

Initially we needed respite care for my 85 year old Mum with dementia. We met with staff at the home who came out to make a home visit that same afternoon. Mum was initially very resistant but was soon sensitively talked round to trying out the home. She has been there over 4 mths now and is happy
and thriving. The staff are all so lovely caring full of humour and smiles. Mum can be a challenge but they are patient and regularly update us as to how she is doing. She loves the food

Amazing care home for my mum who is living with Alzheimer's. The staff are so accommodating and she is very well looked after by all the team at Longview. Thank you so much for looking and supporting my mum!

Dad has been here for about 7 weeks now. He settled in quickly, much to our surprise.
He thinks he is in a hotel. Everywhere is spotless, the staff are very caring and friendly.
We are regularly kept informed of any concerns and Dr's visits etc.
Open visiting hours means we can visit Dad
whenever we like. We are always offered tea or coffee, on arrival, presented on a tray with a plate of biscuits.
I cannot fault the care and support received and would recommend the Care Home to anyone with a family member with dementia.

I first viewed Longview Nursing Home in November 2024 when I was distraught as I hadn't been able to find an appropriate home for my Mum.
As soon as I walked in I felt a relief come over me - the team gave me all the information I needed and more than that confidence that my Mum would be looked
after in a safe environment.
From the moment I was told that there was a room available the Longview team made the whole process, transfer from hospital to Longview seamless. Believe me the hospital were not helpful and the team just organised everything.
Mum passed away January 2025 and I thank Longview every day for being there for Mum and our family.

Dad became a resident at Longview in July 2024 after a very stressful 3 months in hospital looking for a suitable home. From day 1 the transition for Dad and ourselves has been stress free and we all had a lot of support from the Longview team. Dad's care is excellent and the carers understand his
individual needs. He feels relaxed and at home. His quality of life has been enhanced since becoming a resident at Longview, he enjoys all the entertainment and activities that are arranged. We feel very privileged that Dad is being so well cared for in such a caring, supportive and beautiful home. Dad and his family feel very much a part of the Longview community.
We have just experienced an amazing Christmas at Longview. The team and Activities Coordinator put so much effort into making it a special occasion for the residents and visiting families. It was truly joyous attending Christmas parties and sharing a fabulous Christmas dinner there, it made Dad so happy.

I cannot praise Longview Care Home enough, not just for December 2024 but from when my mum first came to Longview in September 2024 up until the present date!
Mum is well cared for by all staff.
They treat her with respect and kindness and cater for all her needs.
It is of great comfort to me,
my brother and our families to know that Mum is well cared for and safe.
All the staff are also very kind and respectful to me when I visit too
Nothing is too much trouble.
I get phone calls to update me on Mum's health and well-being if necessary too.
Thank you, Longview.

Mum has been in the new block at Longview since August. She settled in very well with everyone making her very welcome. Mum thinks she is in a hotel all the staff are so loving and caring and will do anything for her even though my mum can be difficult at times.
The bedrooms are fantastic and so
is the lounge. The level of cleanliness is very good. The food is very good and mum eats it all.
They have weekly activities and entertainment which Mum loves. I feel relieved that she has found somewhere so good and I do not have to worry about her.
I highly recommend Longview as a care home.

Brought my uncle into this home. Felt very uneasy with letting others look after him but was a lovely, happy, amazing place. I couldn't have wished for any better, felt very content knowing he's in safe hands. Staff are so friendly, knowing he has round the clock care and always a nice cup of tea
when anyone visits him.
30 January 2025
When my aunt had to go into care there was only one place we wanted her to go which is here in Longview. My gran, her sister, was also a resident from 2012-2016 and received the very best of care, and my aunt also receives the very best of care and attention.
30 January 2025
They are very good clean and tidy. My husband has been in there for a few months now and he has settled in well. He is always clean and tidy, they help him with whatever he needs to do. When I go to see him, they keep me up-to-date with what is going on with him. They always offer tea or coffee when
you arrive.
23 January 2025
Couldn't have wished for anything more. 10/10 for everything!
Treat people with respect, kindness and compassion at all times
Clean, good top quality and staff are understanding and kind to the residents and families of the people in their care.
Thank you.

As soon as you walk into the home there is a sense of calm, we were really worried about our dad and his needs, but this worry was taken away by the wonderful caring and thoughtful staff. We certainly could not ask for more, Dad is always well dressed clean clothes, shaved and looks very
presentable. There are plenty of staff around who are always willing to answer any concerns you might have. His room is so lovely and spotlessly clean. They take away any worries you may have about your relative's needs. We know Dad is being looked after and cared for.
16 July 2024
The moment we walked into Longview, as a family, we found it calm, the staff were calm, the residents were calm and it was a nice thing to see.
My dad has settled in well, he has other challenges apart from dementia but the staff always listen to us and take on board how my dad may need other care.
My dad is always well-presented, clean, shaven and clean clothes.
The staff are polite and respectful to both residents and family members when we visit.
As a family, although we miss him desperately, we know he is having wonderful care and love at Longview.
