My Mother has been a resident for almost two years now and she has been provided with excellent care and attention throughout. If she has had any medical needs, these have been attended to right away. The food and drink provision is very good with meals/food that the residents want and seemingly unlimited
cups of tea for residents and visitors alike. The staff interact with the residents and treat all with respect and dignity.

Review from Patricia H (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 December 2015

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My widowed father, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's four years ago at age 85, lived at Lansglade House from December 2013 to September 2015. I had Lasting P.O.A. for my father but as I live in Canada I could not visit my father frequently. The visits I made were therefore week long and involved many
hours spent at the Home. During these visits I was impressed by the dedication of the care staff and by the way my father's dignity (and that of other residents) was respected at all times. Food was varied and lovingly prepared with plenty of choices and I noticed that menus were individualised to suit the tastes and needs of residents. There was daily entertainment and activities for residents who wished to join in.
All the staff made me feel welcome and at home and showed concern not only for my father but also for me. In his last weeks my father never left his bed and was cared for by frequent checks and visits by carers to change his position, wash him, give him food etc. They always took time to encourage my father to eat and spoke gently and kindly to him.
The very efficient and friendly manager kept regular contact with me by email and also by phone when necessary. She informed me immediately of changes in health and of doctors' visits. She kept me up to date on activities at the home and listened and responded promptly to all my concerns. I noticed that, except for when she was conducting meetings which demanded privacy, her door was always open.
My father's room was kept impeccably clean and was very comfortably furnished. Although he did not have his own bathroom, this did not seem to present a problem to either him or the care staff. A bed alarm was installed to alert staff whenever my father left his bed (when he still was able) to ensure his safety.
Although the dining room is not really big enough to seat all residents at once, as some residents preferred to remain in their armchairs for meals this seemed to work out fine. Breakfast was served to individual residents as and when they were ready for it and I was told that a few liked to have breakfast served to them in their rooms before they came down for the day. I liked the fact that it was the residents who determined their own routines for getting up and going to bed."This is your father's home", I was told when he first arrived at Lansglade House. I am truly grateful to each and every member of staff that they really lived up to this and provided such a caring environment for my father.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.828)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.828) out of 10 for Lansglade House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.828 for Lansglade House is calculated as follows: ( (197 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 233 Ratings = 4.828

  • b) 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 Lansglade House is based on 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 31 registered maximum number of service users is 6.2, which has been reached with 20 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
