The care home provides a good standard of care for my aunty. She is now settled well and feels safe, warm and cared for. If I ask staff for anything that needs attention or that I'm worried about, the response is usually quick and clear. Management and staff communicate well. Looking forward to using
the outside area (garden). No doubt this will need some attention after the storms.

On entering the care home there is always a warm, friendly greeting from all the staff. I find they all work so hard looking after the residents. The food looks lovely and is always well-presented. There is often fundraising to collect money for charity and the home. Overall I am very happy with the
care my Dad gets and pleased we chose Langley Park Care Home.

Our father came to Langley Park care home at the end of May 2024, and he absolutely loved being there. The staff are so friendly that he wished he'd come earlier!
He particularly enjoyed Fish and Chip Friday and the freedom he had to order his own things online, which gave him a degree of independence
that he enjoyed.

Reply from Jackie Brook, Care Relationships at Langley Park Care Home

My Dad has been in Langley Park since the beginning of June and is now a permanent resident. I have to say how grateful I am to the wonderful staff who care for him.
Dad was slow to settle and took a while for him to leave his room. He now visits the lounge daily and tells me the staff works very hard
and he couldn't manage at home now. He likes the food. I find my visits (3-4 times a week) are very pleasant and feel quite at home myself. Everyone is so friendly.

Reply from Jackie Brook, Care Relationships at Langley Park Care Home

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful feedback about your dad's experience at Langley Park Care Home. We're thrilled to hear that he's feeling more settled, enjoying meals, and joining others in the lounge. It's lovely to know that you feel at home during your visits too, and we're grateful for your kind words about our team. We'll be sure to pass along your appreciation to everyone here. Thank you again for trusting us with your dad's care!

This review does not relate solely to October but to every day my Dad has resided at Langley Park Care Home. All of the staff are very friendly. The carers go out of their way to make sure the residents are looked after to the highest standard. They always have a smile on their faces and make time to
chat to us when we come to visit. All of the other staff members from the receptionist, the managers, cleaners and activity coordinator are all lovely lasses. It wasn't an easy decision for us when the time came for Dad having to move into a care home however I am pleased we chose Langley Park Care Home. Even my Grandchildren love the place and take great pleasure in chatting to the residents when we visit.

Reply from Jackie Brook, Care Relationships at Langley Park Care Home

My Mum is nearing the end of her life and I couldn't hope for a better place, or better staff for her to end her days. My Mum has been cared for with tremendous compassion, respect, and dignity by every single member of staff. As well as catering to my Mum's personal and medical needs, the staff have
also helped me, as next of kin, with advice and assistance regarding various administrative matters.
I will always be indebted to the managers, and all the great staff at Langley Park Care Home, and therefore, I would happily recommend the home to anyone looking for a safe, professional, and tremendously caring environment for their loved one.

Reply from Jackie Brook, Care Relationships at Langley Park Care Home

Mam has been at Langley Park Care Home for well over a year and a half now and the home has exceeded our expectations (family). She is very happy there and really loves the carers. She is always lovely and clean with her hair nice and tidy. She seems to pick her own clothes and gets to wear her favourite
jumpers etc. Mam was really ill during November 2023 but the staff pulled her through. They sat with her and fed her even when she didn't feel like trying to feed herself. It's taken a while but she looks so much better now and I really can't thank them enough for the care they gave her. I don't see the food so can't comment.

Mam has been in Langley Park for two years. The staff are amazing. They care for Mam with compassion and kindness all the time. Mam's room is always spotless. The staff support me and my sister emotionally as it has been traumatic to see our Mam's decline. We are grieving but the staff are always there
for us and care for Mam. My only wish is an upgrade of the garden area.

Reply from Jackie Brook, Care Relationships at Langley Park Care Home

Thank you for sharing your positive experience with Langley Park Care Home.

My lovely dad spent the last part of his life here. The care he received was outstanding from the beginning of his stay in 2020 right up until last year. The way the home coped with the COVID situation was so caring and professional always with great communication night or day. The staff are always
friendly and so caring, my dad felt so safe there and enjoyed himself so much. He achieved so much despite his dementia. He did art, enjoyed mini golf and even table tennis. The staff are so dedicated and when dad became very ill, they supported not only him with great care, love and dignity but us as a family as well. We are so grateful to Langley park care home the staff are an incredible team.

My mother was admitted earlier this year with Dementia. The staff are very kind, fun, and work well as a team. My mother is always well-dressed and looked after and her room is always nice and clean and tidy. The staff are polite, warm-hearted and know what they are doing, and the management is exceptional.
My mother has told us they are really kind to her. They keep us updated on any developments and go above and beyond to ensure that know how mum is doing and facilitate visits and trips out. I sleep well at night knowing that mum is with this team of professionals. Not only do they support my mum but they support us as a family too.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.779)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.779) out of 10 for Langley Park Care Home 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.779 for Langley Park Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (164 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 208 Ratings = 4.779

  • 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 Langley Park Care Home is based on 18 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 46 registered maximum number of service users is 9.2, which has been reached with 18 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.
