Review from Christine K (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 August 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum was a resident of a different care home prior to coming to Leighton House. Moving her was a difficult decision in case it stressed her even more, but as a family we were so glad that we did! The difference in care quality of support and the range of activities offered to her in Leighton House
was instantly noticeable and impactful. The level of communication between the home and us, the family, was excellent with the app easily accessible and regularly updated. We felt very confident and reassured that Mum's dementia needs were understood and being met and were very appreciative of the care given to her.
Reply from Samir Patel, Director at Leighton House Private Nursing Home

Thank you for leaving us such a positive review! We're so pleased your mum's move to Leighton House brought peace of mind and a noticeable uplift in her care and wellbeing. Our team is dedicated to providing compassionate, personalised support every day, and it's wonderful to know that's been felt by your whole family.

My husband who has early onset Alzheimers diagnosed age 55 has been at Leighton House for the past 2 and half years. Right from the start they made him feel welcomed, he said it was "like a hotel" and has always been happy here. Throughout his stay they have helped him, now largely non verbal he needs
lots of help particularly with reality. He loves to walk and being out in the garden. We are forever grateful he is here.

I've had such a wonderful experience with the dads nursing home. The staff here have been incredibly kind and attentive, making sure he feels comfortable and well cared for every single day. What stands out most is how they've kept him so healthy and happy. The compassion, kindness and professionalism
show by the staff have made a huge difference not only to dad but also out family. On occasions dad has had issues with his chest the team acted quickly and efficiently ensuring he received the medical attention he needed without delay.

We are so grateful to have found Leighton House; the care, respect and dignity they provide is beyond anything I have experienced before. Each and every member of staff looks after the residents as if they were their own family. Dad's needs are extremely complex, but the whole team have worked tirelessly
to ensure they are met. We couldn't have found a better place for my father, and we cannot recommend them highly enough.

My dad is in the best place possible for his needs. The staff are always courteous, cheerful and respectful. They treat him with care and dignity. He is always dressed well and his extra needs are met with compassion. My family are grateful for the update on Dad's well-being both via the app and verbally.
Dad is encouraged to join in activities that are appropriate and he enjoys sitting in the garden. Leighton House is ideal for dad and we are very grateful to have found it.

Mum is very happy at Leighton House, she is well cared for and all her needs are met. She is treated with dignity and encouraged to have as much independence as possible, giving her as much privacy as possible while delivering her care. It is all the staff that make the difference and as far as I can
see all the residents receive the same care and respect. The result is a lovely atmosphere, a happy and caring home. I never leave a visit to Leighton House with any worry that Mum is not in the best place for her.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was very vulnerable, she was blind and schizophrenic. She was in the care of Leighton House for almost six years and in that time she has received outstanding service from both the staff and the management at the home. One telling strength of the home is its ability to retain the same wonderful
staff over the long term, many of whom are the same people who greeted my mother on her arrival six years ago. This results in care staff who really understand the best routes to well-being and happiness.
Reply from Leon Shaz, Manager at Leighton House Private Nursing Home

It's heartwarming to know that our long-standing staff, who all became familiar to your mother, played such a pivotal role in her well-being and happiness. This sense of continuity and understanding is something we cherish deeply. Your words truly touch our hearts, and we want you to know that your mother's presence has enriched our Leighton House family in countless ways.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.925)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.925) out of 10 for Leighton House Private Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.925 for Leighton House Private Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (221 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 239 Ratings = 4.925
  2. 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 Leighton House Private Nursing Home is based on 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 27 registered maximum number of service users is 5.4, which has been reached with 20 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
