Mum was treated extremely well at Longacre. They were kind and respectful looking after her needs. Mum enjoyed being in the lounge with the other residents where there was a cheerful atmosphere. The staff put on lots of entertainment and activities with singers coming in. Mum liked having her nails manicured, which also gave the staff an opportunity to get to know her better. The staff were always welcoming and helpful whenever I visited. I was confident in the level of care that Mum was receiving, and the manager was very kind and put Mum's needs first when she left. The family would like to thank all the dedicated staff at Longacre for the wonderful care that they gave my mum during her stay.

We're truly grateful to everyone at Longacre Nursing Home for the wonderful care given to my mother-in-law. The staff were consistently kind, respectful, and supportive, treating her with real dignity. The home was always clean, warm and welcoming, with a lovely atmosphere. The food was excellent, and the range of activities helped keep her engaged and comfortable. Every member of staff we met was compassionate and professional, and the management was always approachable and supportive. Her room was cosy and well-maintained, and we always felt confident in the level of safety and care she received. Longacre really felt like a home, not just for her but for us too during visits. We couldn't have asked for better care. Thank you for all the compassion, patience and warmth. You made a very difficult time that little bit easier, and for that, we're forever grateful.

My mum moved into Longacre after suffering with Alzheimer's and Dementia for quite some time. We have previous experience with this home as my Aunty also resided here for 6 years suffering with Dementia so we already knew the Manager and Owner. This is a fantastic and trustworthy home that goes over and above to look after its residents. Nothing is too much trouble and always done with a smile on their face. Their jobs aren't easy and I have so much time for them. They really do care and do their utmost to please Mum as she can be hard work. They are thoughtful and have great personalities which bring comfort and laughter to her and I appreciate that so much. Mum never goes without food and there is always something going on in the lounge for all residents to enjoy. I wouldn't have Mum anywhere else and have complete peace of mind knowing she is safe and cared for appropriately. Thank you all.

My husband is having the very best care in this friendly home. The carers, nursing staff and all ancillary staff are very caring and helpful and support me as well as my husband. The residents have made a collage for the wall which to my mind says it all - 'Our residents do not live in our workplace' 'We work in their home'. The manager is very friendly, extremely efficient and helpful. Longacre is full of compassionate, sympathetic and accommodating staff who deliver excellent and dignified care to the residents, ensuring their every possible need is met.

Our dear Mum was only at Longacre for 3 weeks, receiving palliative care, before she sadly passed away. The peaceful environment coupled with the wonderfully kind, caring and patient staff made our Mum's last few weeks as comfortable as possible. Nothing was too much trouble and we were always kept updated on her situation. The manager at Longacre, was always very supportive and available to speak to either in person or at the end of the phone. We cannot thank Longacre enough for the wonderful care shown to our Mum.

My mother-in-law is receiving the utmost care despite her challenging behaviour due to dementia. All the staff are caring and provide all needs that are required to keep her safe. The surroundings at the home are more than adequate for her. The food choices are different most days, and she does not want for anything. The staff will take her out when they can and also provide entertainment in-house. After a visit to Longacre, I feel relieved that my mother-in-law is in the best care.

I am compelled to write this review for the outstanding care my dad received at Longacre. He unfortunately died on the 18th. He was there for palliative care. They kept him comfortable with care and compassion. You are all special people who work at the home.

The care that my mum received during her time at Longacre was amazing. The staff were just fabulous. The couple of issues that my mum had were dealt with as soon as management were made aware. The care and compassion shown to my mum was as if they were looking after a member of their own family! My mum was both happy and sad to be leaving the home. I can't thank the staff enough for taking such good care of her, forever grateful.

My father was only at Longacre for a few months until he passed away. The staff treated him with kindness and dignity. Up until the end, they were very caring and very considerate of my father's needs. Excellent staff. Outstanding service.
29 May 2023
I can't thank the staff enough; your care, devotion and support to my dad, his grandchildren and myself I will be forever grateful for. I was so scared during this process, but I knew Dad was in the right place and you all were the reason that made what time he head left happy, safe and comfortable until the end. Nothing was any trouble and we have met wonderful people that turned into friends.

This is the second time I've used this nursing home for a parent with end-of-life care. I found the whole team to be extremely caring and thoughtful towards my mother, and also to us as a family couldn't do enough for us they supported us at a very difficult time. The atmosphere in the home was excellent and very welcoming and I never saw anything but excellent care for all the residents. Very happy with the care my mother received and my father before that. Can't recommend it highly enough.

My mother has been at Longacres Nursing Home for three years and I have nothing but praise for all the staff and management for her care and well-being and for keeping her happy and fulfilled. The staff are always happy to speak with me anytime and always keep me informed of every aspect of mum's life.

We would like to thank the Manager and all the staff for the wonderful and dedicated care they gave our father during the weeks he was with them. He came to the home for end-of-life care and they always ensured he was wonderfully well cared for and provided with 1-1 help with everything he needed. Nothing was too much trouble and everyone took a genuine interest in him and we were able to go home each day knowing we had no worries about how he was being looked after and that if there was a change we would be contacted. Thank you again for all you did for him, we are eternally grateful.

Longacre continues to give mum the love and care she needs in a home-from-home atmosphere. All the staff are very friendly and cheerful and provide essential familiar faces daily and when we visit we become part of the family too. Mum is always included in the activities and celebrations as far as her condition allows and a lot of effort goes into these occasions. Mum's needs are always discussed with us. We would like to thank the manager and all the staff for going the extra mile.

After my husband had a long stay in hospital Longacre was eventually found as a suitable nursing home to meet his needs. I couldn't have chosen better, they have been so caring and met his needs whenever these changed. These changes were often as he had medical problems as well as his dementia. They took time to change his dressings on a daily basis, with the matron a very experienced nurse who knew when to call the doctor with any other changes. I felt he had personal care by lovely carers, always monitoring his food intake. They administered to his personal needs and it took so much of the worry away from me, knowing he was so well looked after. They helped me celebrate several birthdays and our Golden Wedding Anniversary. Sadly my husband passed away in early December, with full PPE and testing I was allowed to see him weekly in the last few months. I will always be grateful for the kindness they have shown.

My mum moved into Longacre after a long stay in hospital, from our first visit the staff made us feel very welcome and accommodating to anything we requested. Mum was well cared for with love and dignity. We as her family always felt part of their family. Sadly Mum passed away in May 2020 so her stay was short. They cared for her during the awful Covid-19 situation. They were so respectful on her final day to her and us as her family. Thank you to you all at Longacre.

We chose Longacre for my mother for palliative care. She was only there for two weeks before she passed away but the care she received was amazing. The staff are very caring and very professional. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Her room was lovely too. I am very glad that she spent her last days being looked after such a professional group of people.

I regret that I cannot recommend Longacre unless there is no other room available. The Home is clean and secure and the Staff I encountered were caring. I did not see catering or evidence of Activities. However, the care is not "person-centred". The staff have a routine they follow when getting residents up so last in line can still be waiting late in the morning. Promised situation updates were not provided. The staff do not knock/ask before entering, use patronising names, they don't have name badges and any uniforms seem random. Example: One day a chap with the appearance of a working janitor walked into the room and said to the resident I was visiting words to the effect of “Have you been sick again dear?”. I asked who he was and he confirmed he was a nurse.

My mother had palliative care at the home from 22/08/18 upto the time of her death on October 7th 2018. Exceptionally well cared for. Wonderful management and staff care. The manager and her team were attentive and professional at all times. We couldn't have asked for a better facility for my mother. Thank you.

I cannot praise the staff enough. Mum has been a resident for 6 years and has been shown nothing but respect and kindness. Mum is well looked after and cared for like a member of the family.
