I cannot explain how happy I am with the care my mum receives at Long Lea.
She always looks really clean, tidy and well cared for.
There are plenty of activities to keep her stimulated and engaged but plenty of places for quiet time if needed.
The staff are all amazing and keep us well informed of
everything.

I have got nothing but so many thanks to Long Lea, my mum went in there not eating, or drinking very much at all. I saw how much the staff cared for her, helped her and most of all, if only for a short time, I got to see my mum safe, happy and generally cared for. Thank you so much to all the staff
who cared for my mum.

Reply from Alexandra Cooke, Customer Engagement at Long Lea Residential Care Home

My dad has sadly passed on and I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff at Long Lea. He enjoyed his time with you all and was very happy there. When I visited he always told me of the care and company he enjoyed with you all.
I was always offered a cup of tea and made to feel welcome.
At his funeral, some of the staff attended and had a quick word with me. Midland Care planted a tree in his memory, a really lovely gesture.
I can't speak highly enough of you all, thank you for the care you gave my father.

Reply from Alexandra Cooke, Marketing at Long Lea Residential Care Home

Thank you for your kind words and lovely feedback. We're truly sorry for your loss, and it means a lot to us that your dad felt happy and well cared for at Long Lea. We're honoured to have been part of his life.

My dad has dementia and has been a resident of Long Lea since April. A hard transition for him and for us as a family.
In the last few weeks, my dad had a visit to the local A&E and was fitted with a catheter which caused him an immense level of anxiety. The senior staff liaised with us throughout
the few weeks before this was resolved. They worked with us to seek a solution. They were supportive of Dad and were aware of how he was on a daily basis when we phoned and talked to him when we visited. Everyone celebrated when the catheter was removed and it could stay out.
We continue to be grateful to Long Lea for their care of Dad and of us as a family.

Reply from Alexandra Cooke, Marketing at Long Lea Residential Care Home

Thank you for your lovely review and for taking the time to share your feedback. We are happy to hear that your Dad feels at home at Long Lea and it is our absolute pleasure to have him as part of the family.

What a lovely afternoon we had, staff so very attentive to everyone but not in your face.
My friend had had her hair washed and set, her personal care was tip-top.
For a donation the family were given a lovely assortment of food to celebrate and she was presented with a nice birthday cake with candles.
An afternoon we shall always remember.
Staff always friendly - a great place for my friend to be. Thank you all.

The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere feels bus but the residents seem quite settled and at ease. I appreciate that the staff provided me with a chair shortly after I arrived. A delicious and very well-presented buffet tea plus a wonderful birthday cake was provided, it was my mother's
birthday and the residents shared the tea with our family. My only concern is attention to toilet needs, getting the attention of staff, time taken to bring hoist and wheelchair, maybe more equipment needed?

When my 97-year-old mum arrived at Long Lea, she was still recovering from a very nasty fall in which she suffered severe burns. The staff were lovely and provided excellent medical care. They made her very welcome and encouraged her to participate in all the many activities. As Mum is hard of hearing,
with poor eyesight i.e. mobility, the staff supported her and gave her back her confidence when dealing with social situations. Long Lea is a safe and caring environment, which allows its residents to flourish whatever their age and capability.

Reply from Alexandra Cooke, Marketing at Long Lea Residential Care Home

We are thrilled to know that your mum has had such a positive experience at Long Lea. It is always a pleasure to hear such kind feedback and we will certainly pass this on to our staff. We consider it a privilege to be entrusted with her care and hope that she continues to feel safe and supported in our Long Lea family.

Both my parents have lived in Long Lea for 5 years. The carers are so supportive and really care for the residents. Dad sadly passed away on the 22nd of October, the end-of-life care was excellent. All the staff were genuinely upset and so attentive to his needs. Some actually came in to see him on
their day off. Long Lea is a family home and made so by the love and caring staff.

Mum recently moved into long Lea Residential Care Home and the one word that immediately comes to mind is relief. Relief that she seems happier, content more relaxed than she has been for a while now. Mum frequently says things like "it's nice here isn't it" and "the food's good here". Long Lea Residential
Care Home is a bright, cheery, well-kept place and we are always offered refreshments when we visit. The staff are all wonderful, caring people who not only help the residents adjust to their new home, but have also helped me adjust mentally to my mother being in a home, I would highly recommend Long Lea Residential Home to anyone that is looking for a care home.

Reply from Lara Howitt, Office Associate at Long Lea Residential Care Home

My mum was unwell when she arrived at Long Lea Care Home. Having spent three weeks in hospital she was tired and frail. The kindness the carers showed to mum was beautiful. Two carers were there to help us in attending to her comforters to ready her for bed. As we had arrived late in the evening food
was offered and we could stay as long as we wanted. Always being worried about her nighttime sleeping but we're never given cause for concern. Mum was given love from hard-working carers. The staff always helped.

Throughout Mum's short stay she was loved and cared for by all staff, from the lady in charge of laundry to the manager. Nothing was too much trouble. Visitors were always welcomed and supplied with drinks. We were able to go on holiday with peace of mind knowing that she would be well looked after.

I made a surprise visit taking time out from work as my mum has been a little unsettled due to only just being placed into this home after a bad experience in the previous home. I arrived to find mum had gone out for a coffee and cake with a staff member which was really lovely. She returned looking
so calm and happy. It was very refreshing and I was so glad to see how settled she appeared. It goes without saying how brilliant the activities are and how well-kept mum is.

Reply from Lara Howitt, Office Associate at Long Lea Residential Care Home

Dear Angela, thank you so much for such lovely comments. It is so great to hear how calm and happy your mum was within our care. This is such lovely feedback and is so appreciated.

My husband went in for 2-weeks respite, and when I picked him up, his first words were; I have been treated like royalty. The food was great and he was never hungry, care staff excellent, very patient with him and dealt with all his needs. Under the circumstances with this virus, I praise this home

Very happy with the care offered to my Aunty. She has been a resident at Long Lea since May and has settled in well with the help and support of staff. The Manager is always on hand to answer any questions. We have recently attended a relatives meeting which was very informative. When considering care
for my Aunty and visiting a number of local homes, the welcome and facilities at Long Lea were by far the best.

Having previously spent an occasional week respite at Long Lea, my sister chose to move to Long Lea when she was finally unable to live in her own home because she had made friends with both staff and residents. Her room was very clean, with en suite toilet and washbasin. She could bring some of her
own furniture and tv.
The staff treated her with compassion and respect, friendship and genuine caring, day and night. Despite her complex needs and being increasingly bedbound, she was provided with everything she wanted or needed. Family members were welcomed and carers and managers were always available to discuss anything under the sun.
During a sudden downturn in my sister's health, three family members were welcomed to stay as long as desired - including overnight. Carers and managers cared for us, too, with great compassion.
My overwhelming feeling is that the staff truly care for the residents, forming bonds of true understanding of each individual's needs.
Thank you, one and all.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.584)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.584) out of 10 for Long Lea Residential Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.584 for Long Lea Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (81 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 125 Ratings = 4.584

  • 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 Long Lea Residential Care Home is based on 11 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 35 registered maximum number of service users is 7, which has been reached with 11 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.
