Always welcoming, friendly, helpful staff including ancillary staff. A very clean, pleasant environment, always ready to include family with the care, and care plans of my husband.
The care staff have always been very caring and showing consideration and love to my husband and indeed myself.
Nice
garden and outdoor space, well looked after. The meals were well prepared to suit my husband's needs i.e., in the later stages of his life eg., pureed.
Overall very happy with the care delivered.

Leighton House has a lovely feel to it whenever I visit.
The staff are all friendly and my Granny seems to love them and seems very happy here.
Today we are visiting for the summer party and it's a great event with so much thought put into it.
Thank you to everyone at Leighton House for looking after
my Granny with such care and love.

The team have a high level of care for my father given his level of dementia and complex needs.
I feel reassured that his welfare is at the foremost of the service provided.
He has recently started to fall over and I have been contacted immediately and informed, in particular when it was decided he
needed to go to the local A&E.
One incident when he fell when I was present I witnessed first hand how they dealt with the situation and ensured he had the right level of support after becoming disorientated.

I am only able to see my dad for two weeks of the year as I live in the U.S. However when I come, my dad is always happy and obviously well looked after. There are always plenty of carers around who are happy to help you (the visitor) and care for you and your relative. The facility is clean and has
plenty of things to do for the residents. The environment is peaceful and all the residents are happy here. The staff cater to the physical, mental and the resident's interests with care and attention.

My father was a resident at Leighton House from November 2015-April 2016.
He had Alzheimer's and was far from an easy resident at times. But, they handled him with respect and dignity. Always being sensitive to his and other residents needs. On his last day, staffing members to whom my father closely
related with, stayed around to bring him comfort, which, for me and my sister was a real dedication of care.
The meals were always of good quality, hygiene and safety standards upheld.
The home has a beautiful light conservatory/sitting area over looking the garden.
It always looked clean and residents are well cared for and attended to. They had people coming in to provide activities on different days and there were plenty resources to keep residents entertained.
The staff were always polite, approachable, welcoming and supportive.

My first impression was that the manager was kind, gentle, positive and organised. It was apparent that Leighton House was clean, no smells whatsoever and the residents were receiving excellent care and attention.


My husband was an extremely difficult resident but he was always treated with great

care and great respect. The staff were brilliant at overcoming his difficulties or the difficulties he created.


He had an excellent appetite all his life. Leighton House accepted this and he had double the amount of other residents at meal times. When he asked he would be given snacks between meals and at night.


Without question, I was delighted with his care at all times.

Whilst my mother's stay at the facility was short, we were thoroughly impressed with all aspects of care undertaken by everyone, from the management to the individual staff in general. Mum was treated with dignity, kindness and consideration, and a carer was always on hand to hold her hand or share
a smile. It's difficult to find any fault with the care my mother received, plus the staff went the extra mile to make you feel welcome, even to visitors. I would wholeheartedly go on record to support this organisation. They helped us through such difficult times and made my mother's stay as gracious and as comfortable as possible. The care that was provided for my mum in her final hours with us was nothing short of exemplary. Thank you for being amazing at what you do!

My husband has been a resident at Leighton House since March 2016, It did take him a short while to settle but now he is quite happy. I find the staff extremely patient with him when he's giving them a difficult time. I find the manager and all the staff are very pleasant when I visit my husband. They
make me very welcome and are always ready to talk to you no matter what the situation. The manager and staff are a good team and for that, I recommend Leighton House as highly possible as a care home.

Leighton House Private Nursing Home has provided excellent care for my grandmother for the past 6 years. She is very happy here. The staff at Leighton House genuinely care for all the residents looking after their health, day to day care and personal well-being. The home itself is modern, light and
has been designed to a very high standard. Residents have access to a range of services including hairdressing, outside visitors and regular family inclusive events.

My husband Peter has been at Leighton House for 3 months. He appears to be quite happy. I'm just as happy for him to be there. I find the staff very helpful whenever I've approached them about anything. They are very pleasant and courteous, not just to the residents, but also the visitors. My journey
to Leighton House is 15 miles, and takes forty minutes, as I live in Twickenham. As long as my husband is happy, I'm willing to do the journey.

My mother was welcomed into Leighton House in April 2016. A difficult hand over was handled professionally and sympathetically. My mother has a large room with a hospital bed so that she won't have to be moved again when her condition worsens. She likes the food and eats extremely well. The large living
area is warm and interesting to be in. The garden is easily accessible and newly redesigned for the residents to safely access.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.928)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.928) out of 10 for Leighton House Private Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.928 for Leighton House Private Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (232 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 250 Ratings = 4.928

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Leighton House Private Nursing Home is based on 21 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 27 registered maximum number of service users is 5.4, which has been reached with 21 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
