Barchester Leonard Lodge Care Home

Also would like to praise the rest of staff who are most professional.

My father moved into Leonard Lodge in September and has settled in really well. The home is beautifully furnished, clean and very welcoming and the carers and nurses are very professional. The food is plentiful and of a high standard and all his needs are taken care of. I am very happy and relaxed that he is being taken care of in there.

I am very impressed with the care and efficiency of all the staff, their communication and support with my mother-in-law's care. The manager is polite, caring and has a real passion for supporting people living with dementia. The activities are varied, and my mother-in-law has built a lovely rapport with the staff.

Mum was very poorly when she arrived at Leonard Lodge at the end of July. At 94 she has many issues, a history of falls, failing health and is on Oxygen 24x7. Mum wanted to stay in her own home but it became apparent following 2 falls in 2 days and her unpredictable health, that it was not safe for her to do so. The staff have shown Mum much love and care in helping her transition. We can't thank them enough at what has been a very stressful time.

I cannot recommend this care home enough. My dad had a wonderful week of respite and said it felt like a five-star hotel! The staff were incredibly kind, caring and helpful throughout his stay. A special thank you to the manager for being so professional, approachable and supportive. We felt completely reassured knowing Dad was in such good hands. Highly recommended!

My mother arrived at Leonard Lodge a year ago. Initially there were a few teething problems but in March 2026 there was a change of Management & LL has changed out of all recognition. My mother is well cared for in all regards. The home is welcoming to relatives & quick to react to requests. I would have no hesitation in recommending LL.

I would happily recommend Leonard lodge to prospective residents.

Mum is moving out of Leonard Lodge now solely to move to another home that is closer to the family. We have so much to be thankful for all that Leonard Lodge have done.

Dad recieves excellent care and I always have peace of mind that he is being well-looked after at Leonard Lodge. The carers work very hard to ensure that he's comfortable, safe and happy and are prepared to feed him, however long it takes, on days when he can't manage it himself. The staff in all departments work extremely hard and are very friendly and caring. There are many activities arranged for the residents to bring happiness and enrichment. Thank you to everyone.

Very impressed.

I would recommend to others most definately.

Made our visit to my sister - very pleasant she is quite happy.

The new decor and carpets make the place look very welcoming and make the place look smart.

Cannot recommend enough, my dad was very well looked after and was very happy to stay for a weeks respite here. My dad felt like he was in a 5 star hotel and the staff were so helpful all the way throughout.

Completely throw themselves into their role, they know all residents likes and dislikes but more than that they include every resident.

I first viewed Leonard's Lodge on an open day and was very impressed with the show round. I have been a carer for my brother for 2years but there had been a rapid decline in his health, diagnosed with dementia February 2024, I was advised by his GP to try respite care. I was offered a room at Leonard Lodge for 4 weeks which was successful so the decision was made to make the arrangement permanent commencing 15th May. I have experienced nothing but kindness from all the staff making the transition a smooth one. My brother is enjoying his new home, he is well catered for and safe.

My eldest Sister 78 who sadly has dementia came into Leonard Lodge on January the 17th 2025 initially for 4 weeks respite care . She is now a permanent resident and has now been in there care for 10 weeks. I cannot praise Leonard Lodge enough. All the staff , management team , facilities , rooms , entertainment & activities ,decor , furniture are superb Top Class . My Sister is a different person after just a short time in residence and is now very happy and contented in her new home. It is a big decision to put your loved one into full time care but would recommend Leonard Lodge in Brentwood to anyone on that journey. My wife and are who are my Sisters full POA for both catagories live 10 minutes away from Leonard Lodge and we sleep easy at night knowing my Sister is getting top class care 24/7 . The staff keep you fully informed if there are any concerns and they deal with things very efficiently . I understand a high tech spa pool is currently being added to improve the facilities

Very helpful caring staff.

I cannot say a bad word about anything to do with Leonard Lodge, we are all very happy.

My husband is extremely physically disabled and has vascular dementia. He's been a resident in Barchester Leonard Lodge Care Home for thirteen months where he's received efficient, kind and compassionate care from all the staff. The carers and nurses are friendly and approachable if I have any queries or concerns. Always supportive. My husband can join in very few activities but when he's able he's encouraged by the excellent team of activity ladies. He appears content, enjoys the companionship of the staff and eats well - never complains! This all gives me peace of mind. Thank you.
