Langley Residential Home

Langley House awarded 2 Stars for service

Following an unannounced inspection by the Commission for Social Care on 9th January 2009 we are delighted that Langley House has been awarded a 'two star good service' rating for the consistent good service provided to service users. The National Minimum Standards for care homes are changing and management staff at Langley have already attended awareness sessions to keep up to date with the changes ahead.

Our pond

The raised pond in the grounds of Langley House is thriving well - and everybody is taking a good interest in it. The Water Lilies have flourished and the Alpine plants are looking well and form an interesting collection in a modest way.

Preparations in place for possible pandemic

Staff at Langley are also busy preparing for when the pandemic flu peaks, troughs and then peaks again! We have stocked up on dried goods, groceries and freezer foods to enable service users to be fed during what might be a difficult time. We have also doubled our cleaning and paper store to facilitate hard surface cleaning and combat infection control. Hand gel containers will be placed at the front entrance and all visitors and staff will be encouraged to use it and assist us to prevent unnecessary infection. Regular correct hand washing techniques will go a long way to preventing any form of infection.
