The biggest strength of Long Lea is the staff. They are, without question, caring, sensitive, thoughtful, pleasant and dedicated. I feel confident that they care about my Mum and take the trouble to keep her happy.

In the 12 months my Mum has been here I have found the care she has received is more than I could expect.
The staff are friendly and carting.
I am kept up to date if there are any ongoing problems with my Mum healthwise.
It is like being in one happy family.

My dad spent 10 months at Long Lea until he died in May 2018. The care he received during that time was wonderful, the staff are so caring and can’t do enough for the residents. Long Lea feels like a real home, very relaxed and friendly.

My father was really quite poorly when he arrived at Long Lea. In 3 months his general health and well being have improved enormously. I feel he is very well cared for in every way. I feel happy and welcome each time I visit. His room is quite small but this has actually benefitted him as his mobility
is poor so he can use furniture to move around. The staff are caring and kind and I feel they meet dad's needs. He is always washed clean and comfortable when I visit. The day room is bright and mostly full of service users who sit in groups chatting or having a rest. Dad wanted to stay at home as long as possible so moving here was a big decision. We have no regrets he is definitely in the right place. Dad moved his own furniture in so it has become a small home from homes.

Since my grandmother has been cared for she has been extremely happier and she is very well cared for and looked after by all of the staff. We are so lucky to have such a great team looking after her and we will definitely be recommending to others. We have noticed a change in her confidence and it’s
heart warming to see how happy she is and how well she’s settled in.

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.
