After various hospital admissions, it was decided my dad could no longer manage living alone so I had to look for a suitable care home. On arriving at Longwood lodge I was greeted by friendly happy caring staff who showed us a large room which was exactly what we needed for him. It has been a year since
he was admitted, well what can I say the management team and staff can't do enough for him. The manager goes above and beyond for the residents and families alike nothing is too much trouble for all parties concerned. I would have no hesitation in recommending Longwood Lodge to anyone who is considering a place for their loved ones.

Overall very happy with service provided. Staff on Lowry very caring, attentive, compassionate (days). Activities would have been marked as poor but on Wednesday (11/12) was a huge success and big improvement, much laughter on Lowry. Occasionally disappointed with night staff as I can come in some morning
and my wife has not been attended to by night staff.

Mum has been at The Fountains since 2021 and sadly passed away on 26th August 2024. During Mum's time at The Fountains we have shared a few difficult times with management and staff but none as difficult as Mum's passing. I cannot praise everyone enough for the way we were treated over the long weekend
leading up to Mum's passing. We spent the weekend with Mum and the staff were fabulous. Nothing was too much trouble. We were given advice, guidance, love and support which helped us immensely. The care they gave to Mum at this sad time was 'second to none' and Mum passed away peacefully. Thank you to each and every one at The Fountains. Carry on your good work

Myself and my family can not fault the loving care that my mum received.
We would recommend Longwood Lodge to anyone looking for care for their elderly relatives.

Cannot thank the staff at The Fountains enough for all the care, kindness and compassion they show Mum.
Mum recently had to move care homes due to a care home closure, which caused a lot of unrest and upset with the family, however, we could not have wished for a better placement. The bedrooms are
lovely & homely, Mum actually sleeps in her bed - something that she rarely did previously. The lounges are airy and bright, and the food/choice of food is very good.
What makes The Fountains so good is the staff - reception staff, management, domestic staff, and wonderful carers, everyone clearly enjoys looking after the residents and ensuring their needs are met. They know just 'how to handle' the residents and make them feel safe.
Nothing is too much trouble, even when we phoned every day when Mum first went there, we were never made to feel a nuisance and were encouraged to ring and check on Mum knowing how worrying it can be for families placing Mum in a new setting.

My mum moved here from another care home 6 months ago and the change in her is wonderful, she engages with both staff and other residents in the lovely communal area. After her initial settling in teething problems due to her dementia, I am very pleased that she has adapted so well. The home is still
undergoing some refurbishment but all that is positive and makes the environment very pleasing.

After returning from hospital with pneumonia which it wasn't. She was just left to fend for herself unless we moaned about it, I came in the Tuesday before mam passed on the Friday. She was slumped at the dining table with no response, tried picking her up and she was a dead weight, then the main care
nurse said there was something wrong and took her blood pressure which was 68 over 51, then she decided to phone the doctor, by this time mam was none coherent, went to the hospital with a strangulated hernia and died 4 days later.

Reply from Andrew Wood, Director at The Fountains Care Centre

Please accept our condolences on the passing of your mother. We take the care we provide very seriously. We have reviewed all care records which evidence regular care and checks were provided. We would be more than happy to discuss this further if you would like and don't hesitate to contact the management team.

My mother has been a resident at Longwood for 2 and a half years. I feel so lucky that a place was found for her at a very traumatic time. She was admitted for respite but I knew that she would not be coming back to her home. She is cared for wonderfully by all the staff. The home is welcoming, clean
and there is lots going on to keep the residents entertained. The manager is always approachable and is one the most caring people I have met.

My Mum has been at Longwood since July 2023. From the first moment I knocked on the door to look around I was made to feel welcome by the manager and have been supported as a family member ever since. All of the staff and the manager are absolutely wonderful with the residents. It's plain to see that
they know each of them so well and take the time to recognise their individual needs in such a warm way. It honestly does feel like I'm visiting a very large family rather than a care home. Our Mum has always been sociable and has always hated being on her own. Losing the ability to get out had not only affected her physically but also affected her wellbeing. It means the world to see her now having a laugh constantly with lovely people who care, doing activities each day that she loves, and feeling safe and not anxious anymore. It's brought our Mum back to being our Mum, and that difference is clear both at Longwood and when we go out. I would recommend Longwood to anyone.

The care offered at Longwood Lodge is excellent and the staff genuinely care for the residents.
All the staff know my father well and take the time to talk to him and even held a fantastic party for his 92nd birthday!
The manager is always available and cannot do enough for you.
The residents are
all happy and welcoming and it has a lovely homely feel to it.

My nana went to The Fountains as she could no longer cope when my grandad passed away.
She has now settled in well and although she doesn't normally socialise easily, she has already made a close friend. It is so nice visiting her now, she looks happier and has started to eat proper meals again. The
staff and management team are so friendly and helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend it.

I looked at a few homes in the area as I was looking for a certain special feeling which I knew I would get when I found the right one. On going to The Fountains, it was instant. There was laughing and joking in the reception area where I was welcomed by a friendly smile. The receptionist was laughing
with a staff member and another visitor. It immediately felt like Home. My mother-in-law moved in the following week. She was always the life and soul of our family but due to becoming unwell had lost her sparkle. But, after only a few weeks, she has blossomed. The care and attention she has received makes my heart swell. It makes me and my son smile each time we visit. Please, if you are worried or wondering is this home the right home for your loved one, then don't hesitate. It has definitely eased any worries we had.

The manager and her team looked after my mum with such kindness and professionalism, the care Mum was given was fantastic, the staff were always so thoughtful and helpful, I think Mum was very lucky to spend six weeks recuperating from a fall at Longwood Lodge. The manager is a wonderful hands-on manager.
I can’t recommend this home highly enough. Would like to thank all the staff for looking after my mum, it means a lot to me. Big thank you.

Poor. Removed my Mum from here as the standard of care fell below basic. Dirty bed linen, cutlery, lack of stimulation, missing clothes and fiddle items. Half-eaten soap in her room. My list is endless and management and staff are not at all interested in any concerns we raised. I would not recommend
this home whatsoever.
