Review from L H (Wife of Resident) published on 27 August 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband has now been a resident in Leighton House for nearly three years and in that time the staff, whatever their role in his care, have faced the challenges of the progression of his illness and the COVID pandemic with professionalism, dedication, and informed understanding.
They have throughout
continued to provide a safe and protected environment for him, regular consultation and communication with me, and care and support for both of us. He could not be in a better place amongst a team of better or more caring people.
Reply from Leon Shaz, Manager at Leighton House Private Nursing HomeThank you, L H, for your positive comments! It's feedback like this that keep us pushing forward and trying to achieve the best we possibly can. We will pass your amazing feedback to our staff team.

I am extremely grateful for the care and support my mother received. She became content and relaxed and let go of her previous anxiety once she settled in at Leighton House. I am sure this is because her needs were being met which brought us great comfort. The kindness of the staff was appreciated by
all the family as well as my mother. Thank you.

My husband was at Leighton House for 3 years prior to his death in February 2020. Without question, all the staff care about their residents. I witnessed many acts of kindness. Not just to my husband and family but to many others. The facilities are appropriate for the type of resident and the activities
went from strength to strength. Our heartfelt thanks.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My experience of my husbands stay in your home is basically very good but it is extremely hard for me to comment 100% re. the challenging times we are presented with - hence many of the facilities were hardly able to be utilised by my husband as he was only in the home four months till his death - we
were only able to visit the first month and unable to fully appreciate his overall care and life quality e.g, unable to see him enjoying gardens in fine weather or joining in with outside entertainment - the latter cancelled due to virus. The staff did their utmost best for him in unprecedented times, battling through horrendous care home/hospital covid 19 non-testing situation scandal.

Our mother was a resident at Leighton House for many years until her passing. We found all the staff very caring, supportive and courteous. Nothing seemed to be an issue or problem, they were always very helpful and willing to assist her with her everyday needs. All of us would like to take this opportunity
of thanking you all for caring for our beloved mother.

Although Mum was only a resident for a short time before she passed away, she was made very welcome and treated with great kindness. It was a great comfort to us that she spent her last few days with such lovely people. You have our heartfelt thanks.

Mum is treated with kindness and compassion in spite of her challenging behaviour. Staff are very professional and welcoming. She is cared for extremely well and I am kept informed by the nursing team and lead carer when required. Recent assessments have been carried out with full support. Mum is in
the best place with all her needs being met. Thank you!

My mother has been at Leighton House for 3 years now and has received nothing but excellent care. The carers go above and beyond and nothing is too much trouble. Full marks for care, food, clean rooms and laundry service.
It feels like a family home not clinical at all.

My mother has been at Leighton House for nearly a year. She has been very well cared for and is happy. She enjoys interacting with the marvellous staff and takes part in some of the activities. The food is plentiful and home cooked.
We are very satisfied with all aspects of her care.

Management and staff must be congratulated on all their hard work in organising and managing the summer party and Christmas lunch for both residents and friends.
Since Christmas, there has been a frequent breakdown of the lift which has put added pressure on both staff and management. The recent installation
of a stair lift to alleviate the problem was most welcome.

My husband passed away on Jan 3rd 2019. He received the best care during his last month and remained calm, reassured and pain-free. He was frequently visited in his room by many staff members who spoke to him and let him know he was not alone. I was in the hospital during this time and unable to do
my daily visits. I had complete confidence in the staff at Leighton House Private Nursing Home to care for him in the best way.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.938)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.938) 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.938 for Leighton House Private Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (259 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 276 Ratings = 4.938
  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 23 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 23 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.
