I would like to thank all the staff at Leighswood and management for taking care of my mother for the duration of her stay, she is now in a routine of waking up and going to bed at reasonable times. She has gained weight and she is where she needs to be with her apetite and eating her food. Thank you for all you have done for her socially and her mental health.

Review from C J (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 March 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My mother moved in Leighswood in May 2025 after she broke her leg in two places at her previous care home and was not doing very well there. She has dementia and is incontinent/ can't walk since May it has been a long process but I believe had she not moved she would not be here nearly a year later waiting the birth of her great-grandson. Leighswood are very caring and it's a very homely environment, not clinical as mums previous home. She has gained weight and is now eating meals herself which is thanks to staff for excellent care and patience. Amazing.

Reply from Becky Anson, Deputy Manager at Leighswood

Thank you for your kind words, I will pass them on to the team. We too are pleased that Mom is doing really well here. Regards Becky. x

Review from Nicola R (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My mother was placed in the care home on a D2A placement but the experience was not good.
The care home was "clickly" with some residences being favoured over others by staff and management.
Some staff (not all) were seen and heard to be stern with residents, my mother aired concerns to me that she was scared of some staff! My mother had dementia and displayed outbursts of anger and frustration particularly to her family. My brother witnessed a staff member scolding my mother saying "don't speak to your son like that he won't come again!" When l heard that l was appalled, that was my mom's worst fear and would never happen, little did she know!

The day my mom was moved (not enough words here me here). I asked if l could come and pack her belonging up. When l arrived to go with her to the new Nursing home her personal possessions, clothes, photos of her grandchildren had been placed in black bin liners and put by the front door for us to collect our way out!

Reply from Becky Anson, Deputy Manager at Leighswood

Thank you for taking the time to review our service. Your Mother was only with us for a 3 week period last August/September and unfortunately, she didn't present, nor did you mention that she was fearful of some staff otherwise we would of supported her and alleviated her concerns. It is a shame...

Review from Zowie M (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mom has been a resident at the care home since October 2023 following a diagnosis of early onset dementia. From the very beginning, the care she has received has been outstanding. Every member of staff goes above and beyond to ensure she is safe, comfortable, and treated with dignity and respect. Any issues or concerns are dealt with immediately and professionally, which gives me great reassurance.

I visit my mom daily, and over time the care home has truly become a home from home for both of us. I am always greeted with a friendly smile, and staff are never too busy to answer questions or offer a listening ear. Their kindness, patience, and genuine compassion make an incredibly difficult situation much easier to cope with. I have complete confidence that my mom is cared for as an individual, and I am deeply grateful to all the staff for the support they provide every single day.

Review from S B (Sister of Resident) published on 3 December 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I visit my sister twice weekly and I find the staff and management very helpful and friendly. My sister has only been in the home for about 8 weeks she is settling in but being her first experience of a care environment, it's taking a little longer for her to be truly content. She says the food is good and the staff caring and patient. The care home is clean and tidy.

Overall Experience

I am very happy with the way my mum is looked after by everyone at Leighswood. The office/management staff are pleasant, helpful and efficient and have made the paperwork process a lot easier. My mum's room is lovely and bright and very welcoming. The catering is very good and the meals are well-balanced. The staff during the day and overnight are very helpful and caring always offering good support. I feel happy to leave my mum in the care of all at Leighswood knowing she is safe and well looked after, this helps me a lot.

Review from L W (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My Mom went to Leighswood about 5 weeks ago after 6 weeks respite in another care home. After feeling reluctanct to move but needing to have a location nearer to family she moved without any problems. The staff at Leighswood cannot do enough for my mom, anything she needs they make happen for her. Their communication with myself and my family has been brilliant and I feel I can ask them anything no matter how trivial it may seem. My experience is that the residents are respected and cared for with compassion and warmth. My mom never wanted to be in a care home but they do their best to make it feel like home for her. I highly recommend Leighswood Care Home.

Review from S B (Son of Resident) published on 29 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Leighswood is a lovely care home, the home is nicely laid out with communal spaces and has a calm, homely feel. There's always something happening with staff engaging with residents, and staff are extremely person centred and kind with their residents and are very welcoming to visitors. There is a lovely calm atmosphere when you visit. Communication with families is open, honest, and reassuring. We are always kept informed, involved with my mother's care and health. I feel It's a place where residents are respected and supported, after visiting many care homes I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for compassionate and kind, person-centred care.

The home has improved over the last few years with investment which was needed. I've always found the staff very welcoming, helpful and friendly.The manager and staff are very good and keep me informed and up to speed with things relevant to Mom. Communication is key and having the support of people who want to help you during this time puts your mind at rest.
