Overall Experience

My mum resided at Langfield for 20 months until February 2023. I spent a considerable amount of time there leading up to mum’s passing and I have nothing but respect for the staff. They treat all residents with kindness, dignity and respect adapting to their individual needs and the obstacles they face.

They also maintain a sense of humour making their working environment a happy place to be for all. Events were always celebrated ie: special birthdays or commemorative dates around the world with parties, entertainers and fundraising. It was a pleasure to visit mum and be greeted by welcoming staff and well-cared-for residents. Can’t recommend it enough.

Overall Experience

Mum lived in Langfield for five and half years. The care she received was excellent. Mum had dementia but always had a smile for the staff. She once said I love being here with all my nieces. She thought the staff were family, which in a way they were. There were singsongs in the lounge which mum used

to join in enthusiastically. The meals were always good too. All the staff are very caring, friendly and approachable. They were extremely supportive to my family and I when mum was on end of life. Thank you to you all at Langfield. Mum couldn’t have lived in a better care home.

Overall Experience

Mum has recently passed away after being a resident in Langfield Care Home for five and a half years. My family and I never expected mum to survive the length of time she did. We truly believe it is mostly down to the top-class care, compassion and love they have for each and every resident.
The staff

worked tirelessly through Covid, and through flu and viral infections each year. Never fails to amaze us with their strength and determination to enrich each and every resident's life.
They treat our loved ones like one of their own family members and ensure only the best of care is given to them each and every day.
We know Langfield staff will continue to be totally committed to caring for the elderly and vulnerable in the Community of Middleton. Mum was truly cherished.

Overall Experience

Recently, when our dad became poorly, we searched for somewhere our mum could stay, to give him chance to recover. He is her full-time carer and where she has her weekly comfort days couldn't fit her in until December. My sister came across Langfield Care Home and spoke on the phone to the manager at

length, about our mum's needs. The same day, I dropped in for a visit and was overwhelmed by the caring and supportive nature of all the staff I spoke to. They were able to accommodate our mum for almost a week, during which time we were able to phone regularly for updates about how our mum was doing. She had a fantastic time there, while our dad was able to rest and only have himself to look after. We are indebted and incredibly grateful to all the staff at Langfield, who not only cared meticulously for our mum but enabled our dad to stop and take the time for him, with the peace of mind that mum was being looked after by such lovely caring staff. Many thanks! She will certainly be back.

We are glad we could help your dad take a bit of a rest and the staff really appreciate your kind words.

Although I only submitted a review in February 2022, I wanted to further praise the staff at Langfield Care Home for the care and effort everyone put into making my Mum's 100th Birthday such a special and memorable occasion for her and the immediate family earlier this month.

Overall Experience

My mother has been a resident at the home for almost two years. The care and support she has received have been excellent, and we could not be happier with the way the staff look after her. Because of the pandemic, we were unable to visit her for over 12 months, but we were always kept up to date with

what was happening with her, and the staff went out of their way to make sure we were able to stay in touch. Once we were able to start visiting we were able to see firsthand how caring and respectful the staff are towards their residents, and how spotlessly clean and tidy the home is. We know our mother is now safe and happy and is really well looked after by all the staff, and we feel a lot happier knowing this. Many, many thanks to all of the staff.

Overall Experience

My mother has been a resident at Langfield for almost two years, right through the pandemic. It couldn’t have come at a worse time for us, but from the very beginning, the staff made us feel confident that she was being well looked after. We couldn’t visit her for such a long time but we were always

kept informed about her health and general wellbeing. Once we were able to visit we saw immediately that this is a place where the staff take pride in their work. The home is clean, the staff are really pleasant and caring, clearly know each resident, and always treat them with the dignity they deserve. They have lifted a huge burden from us, allowing us to enjoy our time with her without worry. We can’t thank them enough.

Reply from Viv Daley, Manager at Langfield Care Home

Thank you for leaving the review, it is nice to hear when families appreciate the hard work that the staff team at Langfield do on a day-to-day basis. The staff here think of the residents as their second family and it means a lot especially currently when we have all been through the hardest two years of our lives. Staff want to continue to support the residents in a caring and compassionate manner and with the support from families, I am sure we can do this.

Overall Experience

My father in law has been resident at the home for 18 months, during which time we have made regular visits and more recently have stayed at the home every day as he has been at the end of life.
The care he has received has been outstanding and way beyond the call of duty from all staff. Caring, patient

and kind. We loved the way that the staff joked and talked to him.
We also saw that this care was given consistently to all residents.
All the care team have been brilliant and given him a life.

I turned up at Langfield without a prior appointment and asked to be shown around. I was made very welcome and also received all the info I required. My mother moved into Langfield a short time afterwards and settled in very quickly. She has Alzheimer's but the staff are very caring and Mum enjoys the

activities, especially music and dancing. It was a problem to get Mum to eat and drink at home but with a choice of meals she now eats an amazing amount and has put on weight, which she needed to do. I am confident that Mum is safe and being looked after at Langfield which is a huge relief.

I am writing this review not just for the last month but for the last two years. If I ask any member of staff for help in any way at all they immediately do whatever needs doing and they are always very pleasant and courteous. I could not wish for my wife to be in any other home because after visiting

many (20+) homes I know we picked the right one. Langfield is a great place. I have never had reason to complain in two years of visiting my wife and I visit her almost every day. The staff (from top to bottom) are fantastic to say the very least. I have already recommended Langfield, not only for the above reasons but because this building is purpose-built for people with health problems and that is another plus. So I will now sign off with a big 'thank you' to all who work and care at Langfield.

Overall Experience

In August 2017 my 93-year-old Dad's dementia was getting worse and he was hospitalised due to challenging behaviour and for his own safety and that of others. It soon became clear he wouldn't be going home. I am his only child and live 250 miles away! After two disastrous admissions to another local

care home, both of which involved the police being called and him nearly being sectioned, we happened upon Langfield and I met with the then manager. He put me at ease during what was an incredibly stressful time and agreed to meet my dad in the hospital for an assessment, after which he told me he thought Langfield could meet my dad's needs. The rest, as they say, is history. He moved into Langfield in November 2017 and for me, the experience has been hugely positive. The staff are all incredibly friendly, kind and caring. My dad seems very calm and content, even though I don't think he actually knows where he is! LANGFIELD IS A VERY GOOD PLACE.

Reply from Ali Wiseman, Care Home Manager at Langfield Care Home

Thank you, for your glowing review! It’s great to hear that both myself and our team were able to help you, during your stressful ordeal. We work extremely hard to try and ensure that both, our residents and their families are as comfortable and as happy as can be, so hearing this feedback is great.
