The Review Score of 9.7 (9.719) out of 10 for Longview is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 21 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.
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 4.719 for Longview is calculated as follows: ( (197 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 249 Ratings = 4.719
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 Longview 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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14, 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.

My name is Claire Mayo, and I have worked in the care sector for the last 10 years. I have worked in various care home settings and in a variety of roles.

I feel that my experience and passion equip me with the desired skills and commitment needed to fulfil my role and make Longview a place where people feel safe and cared for.

I once managed a whirlwind trip to Milan for Christmas shopping—there and back in just one day!

Job Title: Home Administrator
Joined: 2024
My name is Lizz. I am the Home Administrator at Longview. I recently returned to Runwood after a few years' break, during which I devoted my time to helping with my grandchildren. Prior to that, I proudly served at head office for 29 years as the procurement and purchasing manager.
The most important aspect of my role is ensuring that both staff and residents feel supported. Knowing I contribute to their well-being gives me a profound sense of fulfilment. I am dedicated to keeping staff up to date with their training and ensuring they have the resources needed to excel. After all, it’s the dedication and hard work of our amazing staff that make this home run so smoothly.
I’ve been fortunate enough to enjoy several cruises throughout my life, which I consider a true blessing!

Hi, I’m Stephen! I’ve been part of the Longview family for 14 years, starting as a carer, then working in activities, and now proudly serving as a Care Team Leader.
For me, the most important thing is ensuring that our home remains the fun and loving place that our amazing residents deserve. Person-centred care is a value I hold close to my heart, and I strive to make every day special for those we care for.
I’m currently training to become a minister for the Church of England. This journey is deeply meaningful to me, and it’s a privilege to explore my faith and service in this way.
Outside of work, I cherish time with my mum and family. Recently, I’ve taken up birdwatching—a fascinating and peaceful hobby. I love diving into books and articles about different bird species and then heading into nature to spot them in the wild.
