My grandad was very ill last year and had memory problems. It was so sad as his health declined. It was such a struggle for our family to get him to accept help. He became ill and eventually went to the care home after such a difficult time in hospital for weeks. He is so happy and well now and has
the most amazing life. Doing art, dancing, mini-golf, are a few of the many things he does. Things he never would have tried. He loved art as a young man so we are so happy to see him join in with activities. Knowing he is safe and really happy is great for our family. He loves it there, they help him in every way and are like a big family. We can't thank the staff enough.

In what has been a scary and extremely uncertain time Langley Park Care Home has put our minds at rest so we know that my father in law is in the right place and being well looked after. They have always been available to help and advise when needed and in what must be a difficult time for themselves
been nothing but professional and caring.

The staff do an amazing job to ensure residents are looked after professionally and also go out of their way to add the personal touches needed to make residents' stays as comfortable and enjoyable as possible with plenty of fun-filled entertainment.
I would recommend this care home highly to anyone.

Both my parents have been resident at the home since 2015. Sadly my mum passed away The care and support that has been given over the years is of the highest standard. The staff provide excellent care ensuring dignity and respect for my father who has dementia, they go above and beyond to meet his care
needs. I will be forever grateful for the support that has been given to my family. The management and staff deserve the recognition as they work so hard especially under the circumstances at the present time. Thank you.

My grandma went into permanent care at the home just before lockdown, this was a huge adjustment to the family, especially my granda who had been her sole carer for over 30 years.
It was a worrying time going into lockdown knowing we couldn't see her but the team set up a Facebook page and have been
constantly sharing their daily activities and photos.
It has really kept our spirit up.
The staff have been absolutely amazing in communicating with us throughout, we visited my grandma for her birthday and although we couldn't enter the home the staff brought grandma to the door and we were still able to share a special moment and watch her open her gifts. Myself and my mam have received personalised cards made by my grandma which I'll treasure forever.
Overall the staff look like they are going above and beyond during this difficult time.
We are all genuinely over the moon with the care she been receiving.
Would definitely recommend.

Langley Park Care Home is fantastic. The staff are the most dedicated and caring group of people. We were a family at breaking point when our relative was admitted due to severe memory problems, self-neglect and been a persistent ambulance caller, and after months in and out of hospital going round
in circles, we got a place for our relation in this home. They have transformed his life. They have built him up, gained his trust, and support him in ways we just couldn't manage. Their care and support are outstanding, they have changed our relations' life. He adores the staff and is now in good health and engaging with others because of the support the care home has provided. We are eternally grateful to each and every staff member and thank them from the bottom of our hearts.

This is a wonderful care home with a fantastic, caring team. It has a real 'family feel' and is a 'home from home' for my mam. After settling in quickly, due to the kindness, patience and encouragement of all the staff, she looks so well and continues to thrive here. She always tells me how much she
enjoys being with everyone and that she feels very comfortable and content. As a family, we are reassured that the love my mam tells us she feels for the staff is clearly reciprocated. Staff at all levels are always available to give help and guidance, nothing is too much trouble and in-fact they go above and beyond. A variety of activities are regularly planned for residents to participate in and enjoy. There is an excellent standard of cleanliness throughout the care home. We are very fortunate that my mam is a resident here and could not wish anything better for her. Thank you to everyone.

I cannot praise the staff enough. My dad went into Langley Park Care Home just as lockdown happened. This was extremely difficult for us but the staff were amazing. They have made sure we can keep in touch with my dad via phone and spend so much time with him talking about us and looking at family photos.
They also share photos and videos with us so we can see how he’s doing. There has also been a massive improvement in my dad’s physical and mental well-being. I feel so reassured that he is being so well cared for. You’re all amazing! Thank you so much!

This care home is second to none, giving residents 5-star treatment and gives families peace of mind when we have placed our loved ones into their care. COVID caused many challenges across the world this year and this home protected our loved ones and staff risked themselves on the front line. The residents
have had a fab time with all the parties and activities provided by staff and the Facebook pictures were very uplifting knowing life still goes on regardless.
Many thanks from the bottom of my heart to you all for your continued care.

Cannot express enough gratitude for the staff at Langley Park Care Home. After visiting several homes this one topped them all by a mile. The care both of my parents received was exceptional through to end of life.
Residents are treated as individuals and the staff go above and beyond to interact
and make their time there enjoyable.
Will always be eternally grateful for the empathy and work that they do.

Although not perfect, a very inclusive home. The staff interact with the residents in a causal manner and by first names. If permitted by the resident, they will give physical affection and reassurance. They manage to include my mother in daily activities especially with the current lockdown. During
this time, they are very supportive of relatives and one of the carers enabled a FaceTime event between my mother on her birthday with my sister. They are providing photographs, in various media platforms so we can keep informed of her antics.
As a family, we are very grateful to all the staff's dedication during this trying time. Thank you.

We put our mother in care as we could no longer meet her care needs at home. It was a difficult decision for us. Nan is not easy to care for. Staff have gone beyond any reasonable expectation and their care during COVID 19 is absolutely exemplary. We are very proud and deeply appreciative of the care
provided to our elderly resident and all residents at the home. They have been kept safe, well and loved which in present circumstances and pressures on care homes, is simply well above brilliant. A model care home for our much loved elderly relatives.

I want to thank the staff for their commitment to the residents of this care home. Their professional attitude and caring ways, make it a place of peace and relaxation for all concerned. It is always a pleasure to visit, everyone welcome and no stress. The manager and team make it a special and homely

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.
