After various hospital admissions, it was decided my dad could no longer manage living alone so I had to look for a suitable care home. On arriving at Longwood lodge I was greeted by friendly happy caring staff who showed us a large room which was exactly what we needed for him. It has been a year since he was admitted, well what can I say the management team and staff can't do enough for him. The manager goes above and beyond for the residents and families alike nothing is too much trouble for all parties concerned. I would have no hesitation in recommending Longwood Lodge to anyone who is considering a place for their loved ones.

My mother was a resident at Longwood Lodge for two years until she passed away on 21st June 2024. Myself and my family can not fault the loving care that my mum received. We would recommend Longwood Lodge to anyone looking for care for their elderly relatives.

Mum was in Longwood from June 2022 until her recent passing. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, every request was granted wherever possible, with kindness and patience. I am happy to echo the other comments on the many 5-star reviews.

My Mum has been a resident at Longwood since June 2022 the manager and staff are wonderful, nothing is too much trouble for them. Mum is safe and happy there is always some activity going on so she is never bored. We are so pleased that we were able to secure a place here for her they make us all feel like part of the family.

My mother has been a resident at Longwood for 2 and a half years. I feel so lucky that a place was found for her at a very traumatic time. She was admitted for respite but I knew that she would not be coming back to her home. She is cared for wonderfully by all the staff. The home is welcoming, clean and there is lots going on to keep the residents entertained. The manager is always approachable and is one the most caring people I have met.

My Mum has been at Longwood since July 2023. From the first moment I knocked on the door to look around I was made to feel welcome by the manager and have been supported as a family member ever since. All of the staff and the manager are absolutely wonderful with the residents. It's plain to see that they know each of them so well and take the time to recognise their individual needs in such a warm way. It honestly does feel like I'm visiting a very large family rather than a care home. Our Mum has always been sociable and has always hated being on her own. Losing the ability to get out had not only affected her physically but also affected her wellbeing. It means the world to see her now having a laugh constantly with lovely people who care, doing activities each day that she loves, and feeling safe and not anxious anymore. It's brought our Mum back to being our Mum, and that difference is clear both at Longwood and when we go out. I would recommend Longwood to anyone.

The care offered at Longwood Lodge is excellent and the staff genuinely care for the residents. All the staff know my father well and take the time to talk to him and even held a fantastic party for his 92nd birthday! The manager is always available and cannot do enough for you. The residents are all happy and welcoming and it has a lovely homely feel to it. We are so pleased we found it.

The manager and her team looked after my mum with such kindness and professionalism, the care Mum was given was fantastic, the staff were always so thoughtful and helpful, I think Mum was very lucky to spend six weeks recuperating from a fall at Longwood Lodge. The manager is a wonderful hands-on manager. I can’t recommend this home highly enough. Would like to thank all the staff for looking after my mum, it means a lot to me. Big thank you.

After having to start looking for full-time care for my mother back in early 2022 I found it a daunting task. I visited care homes and spoke to care homes and something always put me off them in the back of my mind. Luckily I then spoke to the management team at Longwood Lodge Care Home and went in to discuss my mum's medical issues and situation. I could not believe how calm and relaxed this place was. I then sat down with the management team and had a real conversation about her health and needs with people who understood and cared. After this I had no hesitation about putting her in Longwood Lodge, and it has been the best thing ever. I cannot rate this place highly enough Staff, Food, Entertainment, and the lot. My mum went in there not in a good place. She has now put weight on has more energy and helps out with Jobs which she loves doing as she previously worked in care. 6 Star Please if possible

Words cannot express how grateful I am that I found this lovely care home for my mum who has been a resident since 2021. All the residents are treated with the greatest respect and kindness by all the staff. Their warmth and professionalism are evident from the moment you arrive. Since moving in, mum has never looked so happy and settled. She has received the most wonderful care and individual attention I could have wished for and the staff’s unfailing empathy and patience is truly amazing. Rooms are kept spotlessly clean, clothes are always freshly laundered and there’s always a variety of nutritious food each day. There are also plenty of regular activities for the residents (singing, music and films) and always some special occasion to celebrate to make them feel at home. The management/communication between relatives is outstanding. Longwood Lodge Care Home is a real asset to the local community. I couldn't have wished for a better place for Mum to spend her final years.

Beautiful place to place your loved one. Most caring staff, rooms are very comfortable, food excellent and plenty of activities. My father has made lots of new friends. Couldn't ask for better, gives us all peace of mind knowing he is well looked after and we would recommend Longwood Lodge.

My aunty is in Longwood Lodge and I have no issues with the care and help that they give to her on a daily basis. The manager could not be more helpful and approachable. The staff are very pleasant and caring towards her they already treat her as one of the family because that's how they make everyone feel.

From my first dealings with Longwood Lodge it was clear that personalised care and attention was given. Moving both my parents in following discharge from covid intensive care unit during lockdown in 2020 was such a worry. The none negotiable was that they needed to be together. Longwood excelled in keeping in touch through various mediums and when I finally could visit from overseas it was like greeting old friends. Person-centred care and co-design on the activities is forefront and the heart of the organisation. The staff go above and beyond and make every resident, and every family feel like they are "the favourite". My parents were happy to live here with such caring people around them. Thank you Longwood staff (family).

My mum has been a resident in Longwood Lodge Care Home for four years now and I have found it one of the most , kind, caring and professional homes I have known. The staff are just so amazing and very loving to my mum, which makes my sister and I able to relax knowing that our mum is being looked after just like we would inbetween the times we are not able to be with her. We just simply can't show our appreciation enough to all the staff who have the biggest hearts.

Having worked in the care industry I have no qualms about giving them 100% for everything. I could not have registered my parents with anywhere better. Staff and management are excellent and I've had no problems in two years.

Whilst my uncle was a resident in Longwood Lodge, he relieved excellent treatment from all staff. He was very comfortable up until the end of his life. Care staff looked after the family alongside my uncle, providing food when we were present. I cannot recommend this home enough. Thank you for absolutely everything you have done.

I can't thank the team at Longwood Lodge enough for the care and commitment they have shown towards my grandad. From being told he would be cared for in bed going forward from his hospital discharge in early 2022, to watching him celebrate Christmas, sat up in the communal dining area on Christmas Day and having Christmas Dinner! Well, what can I say other than thank you! Your team really are 5*

My mother was a resident for over four years. During her stay, she was so well looked after. The home is in a beautiful location, the rooms are spotless, bright and fresh. Mum enjoyed the activities, the celebrations and the kindness of the staff who always treated her as an individual. When mum passed away the staff were so very kind and thoughtful. Placing a parent in care is a worrying time. I'm so glad that we found Longwood Lodge.

Since grandad has been a resident at Longwood Lodge, I can't honestly put into words the change and effects it had on him and us as a family. The staff are fantastic, not just since he arrived but in the run-up to the move from independent living to needing support over a twenty-four hour period. Grandad loves it here and the staff are supporting him with his change in circumstances. I'm so pleased with everything, as a family, we can relax knowing he is cared for with the utmost dignity and respect. It's like home from home! Thanks, Team Longwood! What is usually a worrying and daunting time has been exciting and enjoyable for all of us!

My grandma has been in this care home for nearly a year now. It was hard to see her go in there but she has adapted extremely well thanks to all the great staff that care for her. She seems happy and settled. The rooms are great and extremely clean. I would recommend this care home to anyone without a doubt.
