St Leonards Care Home

Couldn't have done better.

My mum has been a resident at St Leonard's for over 6 years and in all that time I have been constantly impressed with the care and dedication of the staff. They provide a loving environment where my mum feels cared for and at home. There are lots of activities many of which are individually tailored for my mum with a view to her interests and enjoyment. I have never had a moment's concern regarding her safety and well being. If ever there is a problem such as a recent problem with the plumbing in my mum's en-suite shower room, it was addressed and resolved immediately. We have never regretted choosing St Leonards.

My mother has been a resident at St Leonards for 2 years now, she has settled in really well. I love the home, it's beautifully decorated, clean and the staff are very welcoming and amazing people, that's residents and their family and friends. She has a high level of food and care to an exceptional standard. She is very happy to live there and doesn't have any worries. Thank you so much to all the staff and the lovely manager.

St Leonards' is a home within a home. The atmosphere is welcoming and friendly. The staff go out of their way to provide a secure and happy place for the residents to live. They are caring and professional and treat everyone with dignity.

The staff are professional in their care and genuine in their concern for both residents and families - within weeks whenever we visited they knew who we were, who we came to see and where my Mum was. From Manager to HCA. There are regular reviews in which we as family are involved. There ae regular activities, quizzes, bingo, regular visitors of singers and dancers and thins related to seasons and evengs e.g. Olympics, Queen's birthday, Chinese New Year. The doctor visits regularly and if the staff are concerned over anything they ask him to take a look. In my Mum's case, spotting signs of skin cancer, now successfully removed. My Mum can be grumpy and at times is strong willed but the staff turn it into a positive, as keeping her character. The home and the staff are a blessing to us and her even though she may not always realise it!

Choosing a care home for my Mum was one of the most difficult things I have had to do. We visited many care homes in the area and St Leonards was by far our preferred option. We wanted somewhere with a homely atmosphere, somewhere where she would feel safe and be treated with kindness and respect. Also somewhere that we as a family would feel comfortable and enjoy visiting regularly.

The staff are its greatest asset; Kind, Caring, Respectful, and Fun. They will often be chatting/laughing/singing/dancing with the residents and take the time to share a joke or hold a hand. A lovely family environment. My daughters and I always enjoy visiting.

There is some great entertainment and different activities. Festivals are keenly celebrated and we have enjoyed going to the summer fetes, Christmas parties and other organised parties for family and friends.

Thank you St Leonards !

Mother is very happy at St Leonards and has been at the care home for just over three months. Very helpful and caring staff. Lots of activities now a new coordinator has arrived.

Very friendly staff with a positive attitude. Rooms are very clean and the home has a good family and relaxing feel about the place.

As I live abroad and am my mother's only son, it is imperative that I have total confidence that she is receiving the best quality care. To this end I carried out extensive and detailed research on care homes in the Aylesbury area prior to her placement at St. Leonard's, eventually visiting about a dozen. Several I considered excellent. What sets St. Leonards apart is the palpable sense of humanity which reigns in the home. Well managed with a very dedicated staff, I have peace of mind that my mother has the best quality of life possible in a safe, spotless, homely environment.
