My mother-in-law was made very welcome during her recent stay. She was made to feel at home and loved the food. She was particularly happy that she was able to spend some time with her sister who is a permanent resident. We were so happy with the service that we are hoping to arrange respite care
for her when we go on holiday, knowing that whilst we are away, she will be in good hands.

My mum has been in Aigburth for a year. She is happier and healthier now, a year on, than when she arrived. Her room is modern with lovely practical furniture, an en-suite, and a view of trees and abundant wildlife from her window. The outside gardens and decking area are excellent for walking, sitting
in the sun, or just talking and having fun.
There are usually two organised activities each weekday and a church service on Sunday for anyone who wants to join in. There is an emphasis on musical activities, not just singing, but playing instruments and listening to guest musicians.
The carers are wonderful and create a happy atmosphere within the home. All staff, including seniors, carers, cleaners, kitchen and maintenance staff, office workers, activity coordinators and volunteers are friendly and welcoming.
I'm so lucky there was a vacant room for my mum last year.

My mother has been a resident for 5 years. She is contented and well cared for. The staff have a person centred approach and an excellent standard of interaction with the residents. The home is light, airy and comfortable. Lovely gardens.

We are generally very happy with the care at Aigburth - and really, really appreciate the care and attention of one senior carer in particular. We do, occasionally have frustrations about communications. We live away from Leicester and rely on telephone and email for contact with staff. This doesn't
always work effectively. The "satisfactory" comment on management reflects the fact that there have been a number of changes over the last two years.

Modern, always clean and well designed. Very good care delivered by always cheerful and sensitive staff. My 95 year old father who is very difficult to please nowadays has been impressed by my mother's care since she went in in January and often joins her for meals and the excellent entertainment which
stimulates all those involved. I looked at many homes last year and we are so pleased that we chose Aigburgh over the others.

Aigburth is a leading example of how a care home should function. It is light and airy, lovely décor, large, spacious rooms with full en-suite facilities. The standard of cleanliness is excellent, laundry care is excellent and my mother states the food is very good indeed!


Above all of this, the

staff are wonderful. They are caring, compassionate, patient with the residents and treat them like their own family.


There is excellent pastoral care from the chaplain. The activities co-ordinators go above and beyond any others I have seen to entertain and involve residents in activities.


My mother was very frail when she first went into Aigburth and has absolutely blossomed in their care.


From the management, through the administration/facilities staff, the carers, laundry, kitchen etc. - everyone makes it their mission to ensure the physical, emotional and spiritual welfare of the residents is their top priority.


I am thankful for the piece of mind they give me.

Wholly satisfied with the home, its situation and ambience is excellent, the decor and ensuite facilities of the accomodation are very pleasing. The attention given by the staff to my wife during a short but painful problem was second to none, they have a genuine concern not only for the residents
but also for their relatives. This is on a daily basis.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.871)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.871) out of 10 for Aigburth is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.871 for Aigburth is calculated as follows: ( (359 Excellents x 5) + (53 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 412 Ratings = 4.871

  • b) 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 Aigburth is based on 35 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 56 registered maximum number of service users is 11.2, which has been reached with 35 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
