About Longlands Care Home
Longlands Care Home is a residential care home in Middlesbrough. We support older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia or with mental ill health and people with a physical disability, and we offer respite stays. We run the home as a household rather than an institution. Residents keep their own routines and their own things around them, choose how they spend the day and what they eat, and are helped with washing, dressing, medication and getting about in the way that suits them. Supporting a mixed group of residents works when everybody is treated as an individual. Some people want quiet and routine, others want company and something going on, and both are perfectly reasonable ways to live. For those living with dementia, our team relies on knowing the person, their history and the things that reassure them when they are unsettled. Families are part of the home here. Relatives visit when it suits them and we keep in touch about health and mood rather than only ringing when something has gone wrong. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are looking at residential care in Middlesbrough, please arrange to come in, meet the team and see the place on an ordinary afternoon.
