Overall Experience
My mum spent the last few weeks of her life at Leighton House.
My mum was happy and content during her stay.
Maggie the manager is very efficient and empathetic.
Sarah and Hannah are very knowledgeable and caring.
All the staff are a credit to the care sector.
Nothing is a problem to any of the staff and my mums individual needs were of paramount importance but all care was administered in a friendly and engaged way.
My mums room was spacious ,very clean and tidy.
My mum said the chef was very accommodating and the food was lovely.
The staff engaged with mum and her visitors and Leighton House is always a happy place.
Maggie,Sarah and Hannah went over and above in caring for my mum and when my mums health detiorated they handled everything with great care and communication to all.
