Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident at Arden House for 2 1/2 years. Until April 2020 I visited the home regularly and often spent all day there. The staff were most accommodating and obliging as they knew I lived far away from Leamington. All the staff have shown kindness and behaved in a very caring manner
towards my mother. Moreover, they are always cheerful. I have been very impressed by all the activities regularly taking place which is so important to the well being of the residents. The home has an attractive garden for use in good weather and a pleasant dining room as well as two sitting rooms, one for watching TV. On special occasions such as Christmas and birthday, we have been able to use rooms upstairs. Staff have kept me informed of any incidents affecting my mother.
I have been extremely pleased with the way my mother has been looked after at Arden House as well as the running of the home and would certainly recommend it.

Mum has been at Arden House for 2 years now. Although she has little understanding of anything in her dementia she is always happy and calls it home which is all we could ask. The staff are cheerful and always say something lovely to her as they pass which in her deaf almost blind state is lovely and
she reacts happily with a smile. There are activities going on and before Covid restrictions lovely times with visiting children and dog. We look forward to those in the future. She eats well and is clean and tidy and her room is lovely. A big thank you to all the staff who do an amazing job especially at this hard time

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mum spent the last 8-months of her life at Arden House, and words cannot truly express the feelings I have about the outstanding care that was received by us all.
This place is a home in the true sense of the word - welcoming, safe, friendly, spotlessly clean and cosy.
The staff, without exception,
across all areas, were cheerful, warmhearted and calm. The home has a delightful, peaceful atmosphere, it is somewhere you would want to be in your later years if you couldn't live independently.
Nothing was too much trouble, and the staff were genuinely interested in my Mum, her likes and dislikes - they noticed and treated her with great respect.
The excellent manager, her deputy and the entire team understand the issues faced by elderly people needing care and the effect it can have on their families.
I smile every time I pass by.

It was a real pleasure to take care of your mum, and have the knowledge that you felt that mum was well cared for and to get to know you and your family during the 8-months that your mum was with us…read more

Our Mother spent the last 15 months of her life at Arden House. From the moment she arrived, she was treated with kindness, love, and, more importantly, understanding of her condition. Within a few days, she had settled in and thought the world of all the staff without exception. The staff were always
friendly, knowledgeable and compassionate when we visited and nothing was too much trouble.
For somewhere for our Mother to go in later life, I cannot recommend Arden House too highly. It is a hidden gem in Leamington.

I think Arden House is marvellous. The physical environment is very appealing and the staff are very caring and attentive, whilst the range and quality of food is without fault. I am very happy to see two of my relatives who are residents being looked after in such a lovely, caring and dignified manner.
Well done Arden House.

My Mother has been a resident at Arden House for almost a year during which time Mom has been treated with the utmost dignity, respect, and care. Moms room is homely and welcoming, she is well fed and well cared for. When visiting we are always made very welcome by the extremely friendly staff. Mom
suffers from vascular dementia and the staff make every effort to reassure and encourage her and find activities to help her enjoy her time at Arden House, I am always impressed by their patience. In addition, I also find the staff supportive of residents relatives.

My Mother was resident at Arden House cared for extremely well at that time. So Arden House was my first choice when my Wife needed care. The staff are very friendly caring and supportive, there is regular entertainment/activities and trips to town for shopping or coffee. There is a friendly and welcoming
atmosphere within the home and I would certainly recommend Arden House.

My father has spent a few weeks over the last couple of years receiving respite care with Arden House to allow myself and my husband to have a break. The staff are professional and very lovely with my father who has Alzheimer's. He really enjoys his "holiday" especially spending time in the beautiful
walled garden and watching the pet rabbits.

I am really pleased that we chose Arden House for my mother. As a dementia sufferer with limited mobility, we were anxious to ensure we found a home that would be able to meet her needs. You read so many stories about poor care homes it makes you fear to make the wrong choice. From the very first time
we visited Arden House we felt happy that our mother would be cared for in the right way, maintaining her dignity and providing a real home. The staff really care for the residents and make residents and visitors feel welcome.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this home, the management and staff do a fantastic job. Thank you.

Our aunt was unable to manage on her own and we were very lucky to get her in Arden House. We had the choice of two rooms and opted for one which was newly decorated and beautiful. She settled in very quickly and is very, very happy. All the staff are caring and so friendly. The home is clean and
well kept, wth lots of activities. Pets are welcome, as are grandchildren, or in our case, great, great nephew of 20 months who keeps everyone in the lounge amused!


To sum up, we would recommend this home over and over as we as family cannot thank all the staff for their support.

Arden House is a really welcoming and homely residential home - the staff are friendly and always go the extra mile to make Mum feel comfortable and at ease. As a sufferer of Alzheimer's, it is really important the staff treat Mum with respect and dignity, which I know they do. She feels relaxed and
far less anxious than before she moved in. I would highly recommend Arden House as residential HOME, comfortable and HOMELY - perfect!

I entered Arden House on the 20th of December 2014 and was given a nice room overlooking a wooded square. I am 93 years of age and suffer from, osteoarthritis, hearing problems and leg ulcers, for which the staff provide medication and treatment. A doctor calls once a week for minor problems but for
any serious sickness, staff will phone for a doctor, out of hours doctor, district nurses or paramedics day or night. This is a very good home.

Arden House is a very friendly and welcoming home. The staff are caring and deliver individual care to the residents needs. My mother has lived at Arden House for over 2 years and feels safe, comfortable and happy there. Suffering from Alzheimer's the care she has been given has totally removed the
anxiety she had when living alone at home before. There is a beautiful garden she can relax in and plenty of room to sit alone or in company. Activities in the home are regular for those who wish to participate Arden House comes highly recommended.

Very personal and loving care by all staff members. Mum died on 19th April. It was sudden and a member of staff was with her. It was not expected and staff were upset at the loss of one of their "family" as a manager put it. Mum had the best care imaginable the room was always spotless. Assistance always
willingly on hand. Very grateful

I really don't know where to start with my appraisal of Arden House, Leamington Spa, Warwickshire. I have already posted an email on this very commendable home in Leamington Spa. The senior when I contacted the home was epitome of kindness and was so very accommodating. She handled all for my husband
in a most professional way. The home is like "home from home". Food and staff first class. Obviously the management are first class and this is reflected in the work force. Their priority, without a doubt is the well bring of the elderly. Three cheers for Arden House. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.824)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.824) out of 10 for Arden House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.824 for Arden House is calculated as follows: ( (119 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 142 Ratings = 4.824
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Arden House is based on 12 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 33 registered maximum number of service users is 6.6, which has been reached with 12 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
