My mum has always been cared for with empathy and compassion from all the staff, they always keep family updated on any changes and are always there to help family members when needed and support them. The rooms are always clean and meals are always good choices. The staff always keep residents happy
and do plenty of activities each day. My mum has been so happy since moving into the home 12 months ago.

When it became clear that Mum needed full-time care, we visited numerous care homes. As soon as we walked into Longwood Lodge, we knew we'd found the right place for her as the warm, welcoming, homely atmosphere immediately shone through. The home is always spotlessly clean, and Mum is always wearing
her own, clean clothes. All the staff are absolutely amazing, nothing is too much trouble for them and it's clear they genuinely care about all their residents, treating them with both kindness and respect. The fabulous management team have kept us to date with all aspects of Mums care and have included us in any decisions that have needed to be made.
Throughout the pandemic, the staff's dedication and commitment could not have been bettered; they have done an incredible job in keeping everyone safe during this extremely challenging time. My brother and I will never be able to thank them enough for the warmth and care they give to Mum every day.

Longwood Lodge has been amazing throughout the past year especially. Since going to Longwood, they have shown nothing but compassion and care not just to my gran but to my family also. All the staff are so hard-working, and I cannot fault anything they do. You can tell each and every one of them really
care. I will forever be grateful for everything they have done and continue to do. Thank you will never be good enough.

My nan has been in Longwood for just over 3 years now, and I can honestly say I would recommend this home to anyone. It has been a difficult time not seeing my nan, but with Skype, window visits and seeing her on Facebook keeps us all as a family happy knowing she is well looked after. Keep up the good
work and stay safe.

From the moment my sister and I visited Longwood Lodge we felt the warmth and dedication of the staff. We wanted to ensure our mum would be safe and cared for as well as we would at home and we have not been disappointed. Mum has now been a resident for 15 months and through the very challenging last
9 months staff have worked ‘their socks off’ to keep mum as happy as possible. If your loved one sadly can no longer reside at home then Longwood Lodge is indeed the next best place to be. We thank the fabulous management team and all the amazing staff for their continuous hard work and caring ways. Our gratitude is never-ending.

During the week my father resided at the home, the environment was spotlessly clean. The staff were always caring and professional when interacting with relatives, showing a good knowledgeable understanding of the residents' needs. The relationships between staff and residents were always relaxed, comfortable
and the staff ensured that individuals needs/requests were met.

From the moment they open the door; there's a smile, nothing is too much trouble for the staff. The place itself is warm and welcoming. Food is excellent. The transition for my mum from her home to Longwood Lodge was excellent, and the staff have done their very best to help her settle in as best they
could. I cannot praise Longwood Lodge enough; it is an excellent place to be.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (10.000)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (10.000) out of 10 for Longwood Lodge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 5.000 for Longwood Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (144 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 5

  • 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 Longwood Lodge Care Home is based on 12 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 12 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.
