The team at Longbridge Deverill could not have been more caring for my mum at her end-of-life and supportive of my dad and me as we experienced these very sad circumstances. They were always attentive, cheery and sensitive to our family's needs. I would have no hesitation in recommending this nursing
home for looking after loved ones.

My mum moved here after failing to settle at a previous home. Within a month of being at Longbridge Deverill House and Nursing Home she was a different woman, more like her old self. She has regular hair appointments and is always dressed nicely with necklaces etc. The staff obviously care about
the residents and have a joke with my mum which she loves.

Have always been impressed with the service provided by the staff at Longbridge Deverill House. The lady I represented was first placed in the care home in (I think) 2004 before later transferring to the nursing home. During this time she always praised the staff working there and felt well cared for.
Not sure you can ask for much more and I can only express my gratitude to those who have worked at Longbridge Deverill House during this period of time.

Negatives are:

Lack of own transport which is being looked into.

The standard of care is of the highest, particularly in respect of nursing care in the secure unit, Incidents are properly investigated promptly and reported to the resident's relatives. The resident's needs are well assessed and necessary assistance and equipment are provided. Resident's private rooms
and common rooms are kept very clean, odour free and there is a feeling through the building that it is very well managed and cared for.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.675)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.675) out of 10 for Longbridge Deverill House and Nursing Home 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 38 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 36 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 4.675 for Longbridge Deverill House and Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (334 Excellents x 5) + (83 Goods x 4) + (20 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 443 Ratings = 4.675

  • 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 Longbridge Deverill House and Nursing Home is based on 36 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 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16, which has been reached with 36 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.
