St Leonards Care Home

My Mum has lived at St Leonards since November 2019. She is very well looked after in every way. The staff members are all so helpful and caring, ensuring that all of the Residents are happy. There are many activities that they can take part in if they wish and they are encouraged to do so, which means that they socialise more than maybe they did when they lived in their own home. My Mum is now eating better, she loves the food they provide, she feels safe, she is making friends and she is very happy to be living there. I too am delighted that she is living there, as they really do make everyone feel that they are part of a family. During this Covid-19 time, they have been especially vigilant in their care, which is a reassurance for the families of the residents and we have received a newsletter each month informing us of the situation in the home.

Friendly and helpful staff, will always take the time to talk to you about any issues you may have and how to resolve them. Good level of service provided for my grandfather and he is very happy and can't find too many things to grumble about.

I have never been concerned as to my aunt's welfare at any time since she has resided at St Leonard's.

My father always seems happy and well cared for and loves all the attention he gets. The home is bright, airy and a very pleasant atmosphere. Although we never know our destiny, I would be more than happy to think I could spend my final days in a home such as St Leonards.

I feel very lucky knowing that my uncle is well looked after at St Leonards Care Home and that I do not have to worry about him. I cannot fault one aspect of care and support provided by ALL the staff, everyone is extremely friendly and treat my uncle as if he were their own. All staff take time to chat to him and go above and beyond when it comes to his care and wellbeing. The staff are very approachable and nothing is too much trouble. They take the time to know their residents and their needs. During the Covid-19 the staff have worked immensely hard and taken on extra shifts to ensure that his care remains of a high standard. No one has experienced any illness during this period and they have made sure that I am kept informed about his well being during this difficult time, providing regular updates. I don't feel like he is in a care home, but in a family unit where he is loved and supported. He couldn't be happier which is my main priority. I would highly recommend this home

All good. A big relief that I don't have to worry about my mum, and that she is in the best place for her, especially in the current situation. She is well looked after in the home and seems happy enough.

At St Leonards you always get a very warm welcome - the staff and management are always on hand to help with any requirements. They treat all the residents with the utmost care, ensuring that they are well looked after and are on hand to deal with any special requests if/when required. I have always been impressed by their warmth shown to visitors who are always made very welcome and also well looked after during their visits.

My mother joined St Leonards a year ago following five hospital visits to A&E a month. I cannot praise St Leonards enough for the way the staff look after my mother. She is treated with dignity, encouraged to carry on doing the menial tasks she has capacity to do, something as simple as drinking out of a china cup and saucer and not taking an easy route of a plastic beaker with a lid. No doubt that time will come, but not until health and safety butt in. Staff go beyond their roles at all levels to ensure residents are happy and nothing is too much trouble. The accommodation throughout the care home has been given a fab new look. Residents all being involved in choices. I know that as life is now, still with Covid-19 present in the country, my mum would never have survived. If you are looking for a care home in Aylesbury, and St Leonards meets your family needs. It comes recommended to you incredibly highly!

Thank you to all of the management team and staff for doing such a fab job and keeping all of the residents safe.

St Leonards is a very homely care home which was my favourite out of twelve homes I visited. The carers are, on the whole, very friendly, caring and understanding of the needs of individuals and people with dementia. They are good at managing difficult behaviour. The dementia section of the home is all on the ground floor with space to work around for those residents who want to. There are several lounge and seating areas with access to secure, attractive gardens. There is a kitchen that residents can use and quieter areas to sit with your relative. There are plenty of varied activities and entertainment with opportunities for trips out. It is handy for visits to town and garden centres nearby.

After a six-week stay in hospital recovering from a stroke, my grandad moved into St Leonards. Management and staff at the home have made my grandad feel so welcome and comfortable at what is a very scary time of his life. All staff have taken the time to individually introduce themselves and ensure his care needs are catered for. Accommodation is clean and inviting with touches from home. Beautiful gardens and a bright atmosphere. Could not be happier for my grandad

My relative always looks well cared for and staff show that they really know her and what she likes.

All staff are caring, not just a job.

This is a cheerful, happy residential home, well managed, clean and respectful of all the residents. The staff are excellent, caring and very kind. Delicious food with a varied, home cooked menu.

My mother is well cared for and has settled in and seems to be very happy. The staff are very good but at times appear to be overworked. Although nothing is too much trouble for them when it comes to the care of the residents.

Management always helpful and well informed. I would highly recommend.

The only reason for my good comment on the rooms is that mum is in a room that is still waiting to be updated to an ensuite and this would improve my score to excellent. This is due to happen in the near future but not at the moment.

I would recommend this home to anyone who asked me.

St Leonards is bright and welcoming, tastefully decorated with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. My friend always tells me how happy she is there and she wouldn't want to go anywhere else. She can be involved in the various activities I have seen when I visit and I am aware that the residents have outings and many other interesting activities. The staff are kind and professional as far as I have seen. My friend looks well and cared for.

St Leonards is a caring, efficiently run home from home for elderly people requiring that little bit of extra help. The atmosphere is one of a big family with everyone helping each other and provides a really happy atmosphere.

All the staff do everything they can to ensure the happiness and comfort of the residents. There are varied activities to engage the interest, both physical and passive. The hygiene is exemplary. Food is varied and well prepared for all tastes and requirements. My mother has been a resident for over six years and I have no reservations about recommending this well run care home to anyone.

I wanted to say a very big thank you to all the staff at St Leonards for their wonderful care of my mother-in-law. She was only at the care home for a few short months but during that time, staff showed her nothing but love and attention whilst respecting dignity and her privacy at all times. They could not have done more for her, and we are all incredibly grateful. I cannot recommend this lovely home enough. The setting is lovely; incredibly homely, and the standard of rooms is very good with everything on tap for residents. We were always made to feel part of a large loving family. Thank you all!
