The staff are excellent and are certainly making the best of the dated surroundings. From the moment I started visiting my mother in Leycester House, they were friendly, genuinely seem to care about the residents constantly.
Overall, a massive change to other places we have looked at where staff seem
to be detached and just performing a job - at Leycester House they really do care.

We're delighted to hear that your mother is comfortable at Leycester House. Our dedicated staff are committed to creating a welcoming and supportive environment. Thank you for your kind words. Kind regards, Rahi.

I wish to thank everyone at Leycester House for everything. I cannot find anything to complain or criticize about.
All I can do is thank everyone for looking after me whilst I was with you. I have never been a patient before, and having been in other nursing homes as a family carer for my mother and
father-in-law and my parents, I saw a few places where I refused to let them go there. Thank you everyone. I am at home and doing okay. Alone. Not easy. But coping.

Reply from Rahi Joshi, Marketing Associate at Leycester House

We're dedicated to providing all our residents with the best care and support, and your words truly touch us. We're glad to hear you're doing well, and we appreciate your acknowledgement of our efforts.

In the eight days and sleepovers in between the hospital and recovering to walk around again this interim care home was ideal for my needs, as I had been in bed for four full weeks and not walking around at all. The good food and care given to me was excellent and although I missed TV/radio and my daily
papers staff there wonderful to me and the food was excellent.

It is very well organised. Some of the staff should not work as a carer. It also needs modernising. In the room I was in the wash basin taps were dripping all the time. It was very clean.

Very pleasant welcome. Mam sat in a chair waiting for bingo. They try and do something different each day. To keep people aware. Afterwards we went back into Mam's room. She has a comfy chair and a stool for her legs. Then the tea trolley came round and we had tea and biscuits. Had a chat about Mam
on the way out, very happy.

My mother has been here for quite a while and is very happy (she is ninety-eight). All the staff are very helpful and caring. There are plenty of activities for my mum to join in. She has three meals a day and a tea trolley comes round often during the day. Me and my family are very happy with the care
and attention my mum receives.

Whilst in hospital needing six weeks of bed rest I was offered a room in Leycester House Care Home Mobberley as a 'step down' provider for four weeks. the room was small but clean and cosy with everything I needed, provided, for example, comfortable bed, adequate storage and washbasin, and TV and well
fed. Towels and linen were changed daily and personal laundry done for me. Though the building and fitments were not luxurious they were well maintained and perfectly adequate.


The jewel in the crown was the staff. despite the problems caused by covid the necessary absences of visitor, hairdresser, staff isolating at home, new residents confided to their room causing extra work, etc, the staff were cheerful, warm, and friendly, thoughtful and considerate professionals who went the extra mile. Typified by the off-duty staff living locally appearing in uniform voluntarily on Xmas morning to help to serve and celebrate the resident's Christmas Dinner.

Dad was very happy in this home and commented on the kindness and cheerfulness of the staff "Always with a smile". He also commented the food was very good. Due to COVID-19 I never set foot in the home so can't comment on that, but was always satisfied with hoe the phone calls, Zoom etc was handled
during a very difficult time.

My mother came to Leycester House for respite care.
When it became obvious that she would not be able to live independently in her own home, she was offered a permanent residential place. We were both very pleased as she likes the home, staff and feels safe here. I am confident that the staff can cater
to her individual needs in a very caring setting.

I was taken to Leycester House from hospital after having a bad fall and fracturing badly my left wrist, I have already other health and mobility problems. I was treated so well and made so welcome by all the lovely staff, they couldn't do enough for me despite having lots of other residents to see
to. Made my stay there so very pleasant and I was soon getting my confidence back. Many, many thank to these wonderful people, and the food'well', was delicious, always lots of choices. Thank you all at Leycester House.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.844)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.844) out of 10 for Leycester House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 5 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 4.719 for Leycester House is calculated as follows: ( (43 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 57 Ratings = 4.719

  • 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 4.125 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Leycester House is based on 5 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 = 3.5

    • 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 8 = 0.625

  • 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.
