This is the first time we have had the opportunity to visit my mother in law at Longmead . We were very impressed with the community feel at Longmead and how well my mother in law had settled into her new 'home' . All the staff are commendable from the reception, the nurses , assistant carers and the catering staff ( excellent food ) . Multiple 'home' visits from NHS made medical care and appointments very easy . My mother in laws room was kept very clean and small touches from her old 'home' made her room welcoming. Thanks again to ALL the staff for caring for my mother in law with dignity, efficiency and most importantly with a smile .

Our dad was recently sent there for end of life care. He was always looked after with the utmost care and compassion from every member of staff that came into contact with him. We were always made welcome and included in everything to do with dad's care and wellbeing. A BIG THANK YOU TO YOU ALL

we moved my father here after being refused admission to his previous home after a hospital stay. The staff were friendly and supportive and within a short time he was happy and settled. His care needs were exceptionally dealt with and i was kept fully informed of any changes. As my father declined he was well supported and i was very happy we had made this move to longmead. we would highly recommend here for their family atmosphere and care.

My husband was admitted to Longmead Court Nursing Home from another medical facility for end-of-life care. I was anxious about the care he would receive as I'd had no choice in the placement. However, I quickly realised my concerns were unfounded. From his reception to his passing, he received dedicated care, as I have never witnessed before. The compassion and nursing skills combined allowed him to end his life peacefully and comfortably.

My mother was admitted to Longmead in March 2023 after a very stressful 3 weeks in hospital after a fall. The treatment she received once she arrived at the home, was excellent. She was dealt with in a very caring manner and all the staff are always helpful and friendly when you visit.

I write this review soon after my husband of 54 years has died following inoperable brain tumours. Life at the end was as good as it could be, thanks to the staff at Longmead Court. He was welcomed to Longmead from hospital, a very ill and unhappy man. The nursing staff instinctively knew how to talk to him and put him at ease, explaining what they needed to do and how they would care for him. He had hated being in hospital and this felt like a sanctuary to us both. He could be challenging but they saw through this to the man behind the brain tumour and gave him just incredible, respectful loving care. His bright sunny room became our home for the last 6 weeks. All the staff, from the caring admin staff, nurses, care staff and the cleaning, catering and ancillary staff could not have been more friendly and helpful to me and my family. They were careful to support us too, we felt we could talk to them about any worries and fears. Amazing committed people!

My wife was transferred here from the hospital after a hemiarthroplasty of a broken hip, successful but ruined by too-early discharge. In Longmead she needed dementia care and palliative wound care. Both were provided by a competent staff of nurses and carers very well.

My mother has been a resident at Longmead Court Nursing Home for five and a half years now. Our family has always found that it is a warm and friendly environment, and the staff treat the residents with dignity and respect. I have the peace of mind knowing that Mum is well cared for.

Our dad was placed in Longmead Court 3 weeks ago it was the only care home which would take him from the hospital. We are both so grateful to you. Our dad was cared for so well, 24 hour care one on one. The staff were absolutely amazing, gentle and caring. Our dad passed away with dignity and comfort and we could visit him whenever we wanted. We both feel so grateful to you all. Thank you.

We can't praise the staff of Longmead Court highly enough for the excellent care they are providing for my mother. They are all very special people. They do their best to bring my mother suitable food - and, although she struggles to eat, everything is well cooked and tasty, and we are delighted with the care in preparation. Mother's room is beautifully decorated and pleasant to be in. It's always very clean. Thank you all so much for the care you provide.

The team at Longmead provided professional, personalised and thoughtful care to my lovely nanny and us as a family throughout her stay and through her passing. We considered moving Nan to a closer home (that was also significantly less costly) however she was so comfortable at Longmead and we were so happy with the care that we decided to have her stay and we’re so pleased we did. The end-of-life care and consideration was exceptional. The genuine, authentic extra care and kindness was unexpected and made what has been the most sad time a little more tolerable. Words can’t actually explain the difference the team made and we will be forever grateful. Thank you to every single person from the Longmead team who extended such kindness to the nanny and to us. We appreciate each and every one of you.
