This is a wonderful place.
You will have heard of the phrase never judge a book by it's cover - well - that's how Leafield Care Home should be judged.
Every member of staff are kind, caring and professional.

Review from Helen F (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 23 August 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our whole family would like to say a heartfelt ‘Thank You’ to all the carers and managers of the Leafield Care Home for the loving care and compassion they gave to our dear Mother/Mother in Law who passed away earlier this month after a long decline with vascular dementia. The Leafield were always there
to give help, support, and guidance to us throughout this difficult journey of many years. They always treated our relative with dignity and respect no matter how difficult their behaviour.


Our relative went to live at the Leafield after we were no longer able to cope at home and it was the best decision we could have made for her. We always felt welcome and were able to visit at any time, day or night.


We would have no hesitation in recommending the Leafield to anyone in the area looking for a kind and welcoming home for their loved one which gives peace of mind that they will be safe and well looked after.

The family and friends of my Father wish to thank all the staff for the wonderful way they looked after him.


Leafield House is a very friendly place where people feel part of a family, not just a paying guest, as has been experienced in other care homes.


The House is clean and tidy and the food

very good, any special request from the residents are fulfilled as much as possible.


All the staff are part of a family, and care for those living there as their own.


A first class residential care home.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.125)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.125) out of 10 for Leafield Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.917 for Leafield Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (11 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 4.917
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 3.208 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Leafield Care Home is based on 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 = 3
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 24 registered maximum number of service users is 4.8. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 4.8 = 0.208
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
