What inspectors found
From the Care Quality Commission's assessment published 11 June 2026 (assessment visit 14 May 2026). Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Date of assessment 19 May to 5 June 2026.
Longview is a residential care home. People in care homes receive accommodation and nursing or personal care as a single package under one contractual agreement. Longview is a care home without nursing care. CQC regulates both the premises and the care provided and both were looked at during this inspection. Longview provides accommodation for up to 70 older people including those living with dementia. There were a total of 64 people living at the service at the time of our inspection. Accommodation is provided over 2 floors and people have access to communal areas.
The inspection was completed to follow up on the last inspection to see if improvements had been made. At the last inspection the service was rated requires improvement and had been in breach of legal regulation in relation to safe care and treatment, safeguarding service users from abuse and improper treatment, good governance and staffing. Improvements were found at this inspection, and the provider was no longer in breach of these regulations. This inspection was unannounced.
Care and treatment was planned and delivered in a way which was intended to ensure people's safety and welfare. There were enough staff to meet people’s needs. Staff received the correct training and supervision to support people safely.
People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice.
The registered manager had good oversight of the service, they had encouraged a culture of learning and development. There were systems in place to monitor and review care and people’s experience at the service.
