Review from Madelaine G (Wife of Resident) published on 13 July 2026 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My husband was in respite care at Leahurst for 10 days in May this yeat. This was his third period of respite care at Leahurst. As previously I felt that Peter was very well cared for. The staff I met were all lovely and the home has a friendly, warm atmosphere. The food looked to be of a very good standard and the staff made sure everyone was looked after, even to the extent of one of them going to make one resident toast at teatime as that was all she fancied. All in all, I was very happy with my husbands care.

Review from Madeleine G (Wife of Resident) published on 22 December 2025 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My husband was in respite care at Leahyrst for just over 2 weeks in September 2025. I was away during this time but my son visited several times and I visited at the start and end of his stay. We were impressed by how the staff treated the residents, everyone was really friendly and approachable and were genuinely interested in the residents. The home itself was clean, warm, well decorated and the rooms were fine. There was a small settee and TV in my husbands room as well as the usual bed, wardrobe etc. We wouldn't hesitate to use this home again.

Overall Experience
Been to see my step-mum on a number of occasions, and she's happy. Staff all seem very friendly. Daily activities. She has put weight on as when she first went there; she was very underweight. Feel good after a visit knowing she is happy there.

Overall Experience
This is the most hospitable, expensive and caring homes I have ever seen. I've had the pleasure to visit regularly as my father is a client here. The care and quality of staff is outstanding, nothing is too much trouble for them at all. I go home in the evening knowing my father is very well looked after, safe and happy.

Review from Jane H (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 June 2018 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
Leahyrst care home is the home that my dad chose for my mum when she needed care and he always told me that if he ever needed a home, Leahyrst is where he would want to be. Now, when I go to visit my dad, we talk about all the happy times we shared here with Mum. The staff are so lovely and they keep me informed of everything. I always know that he is safe and protected at Leahyrst with well-trained staff that always go that extra mile for the residents.

Overall Experience
This home really cares, not only about my mum but about me too. Every member of staff treats all residents with the utmost dignity and respect. The staff know everything about what my mother likes to make her happier in life.
I now feel confident and relaxed, knowing that my mum is safe and happy. Leahyrst offers outstanding care.
