Archived: Langley Lodge

We observed this home to be a modern, well furnished, single storey Lodge

The people were unable to talk as a result of their condition but exhibited joy, laughter, and were spontaneously dancing to the background music playing.

The staff told us they "enjoyed working here" and had sufficient staff to meet the needs of the people living at the home.

Relatives we spoke with described the home as "brilliant" and "perfect" and they told us that they especially valued the 'family days' which were organised by the service manager.

Systems and processes were in place and all the business and management- related documentation was kept in one room. This allowed all other parts of the Lodge to be in keeping with a home.

We observed that the people living at the Lodge were happy, relaxed and spontaneous. Staff were equally relaxed and fully engaged with the people in the home.

We spoke with three relatives and they spoke highly of the manager and care staff. All the relatives commented that Langley Lodge feels homely and clean.
