Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been in Abbots Leigh for 2 1/2 years. During this time I have never seen anything but a caring attitude from all members of staff. People who go out of their way to meet my mother's requests. The management and reception staff are both informative and very supportive to relatives of residents.
Now my mother needs nursing care it certainly puts my mind at rest if I go away, knowing she is being cared for at Abbots Leigh.
Reply from Josh Brewer, PA to MD at Abbots Leigh Manor Nursing HomeThank you very much for your kind words, we are very pleased to hear about the high standards of care your mum received and the happy memories we have helped create. Abbots Leigh Manor is a home filled with enthusiastic carers with a passion to help others like they are their own family. We hope there are many more smiles and laughs we can provide in your mum's continued stay with us. Your mum could not be safer or happier in our hands so there is never cause for concern or worry no matter where you are.

Abbots Leigh Manor is a very pleasant place - a spacious old house in extensive grounds and with attractive views from windows. Residents are offered a range of leisure activities. A quiz is put on every day and it is the highlight of my mother’s day. But what really makes this home so good is the atmosphere
and the staff. It’s a relaxed sort of place. Residents are helped to live as they wish to, rather than being forced to follow other people’s plans: they are made to feel at home. As ever, a small group of key people set the tone and are a credit to the home. But all of the staff seem to me to be considerate and caring. My mother says that she has had nothing but kindness from her carers. That’s been my experience too. I know that if my mother falls ill or has an accident she will be looked after professionally and properly but without unnecessary fuss.

Review from Michael T (Husband of Resident) published on 5 November 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We visited eight dementia care homes in September 2017 in the Portishead/Nailsea/ Clevedon area and Abbots Leigh was the best: clean, tidy, no smells, organised activities and a good meal menu.
Our initial assessment was correct: the staff were not just caring but pleasantly attentive and loving to
my wife who was diagnosed with Lewy Body dementia.
My wife was pleased with the meals. Her room was cleaned regularly and kept tidy. Her decreasingly few trips around the well-kept garden were much appreciated in a wheelchair provided by the home. Visitors were welcome and there was a comfortable chair for their use in her room. They could if they wished to join in the afternoon activities and welcomed us at festive times and other special event times.
Except in a few emergencies, medicine times were strictly adhered to.
The Manor together with its gardens has a quiet relaxing atmosphere which is
enhanced by the quality of staff and management - all to the benefits of the residents.

I cannot imagine a better care home for my mother. The staff are exemplary in their efforts to keep Mum happy and content. The home itself is beautifully kept and the grounds are pure heaven! I've observed the staff with other patients on my way in and out and the kindness shown to all residents is
heartwarming. Nothing is too much trouble. The Care Home Manager goes above and beyond at all times to make sure everything is dealt with immediately. Again, nothing is too small or insignificant for her to deal with, despite being a very busy person.
Mum loves it here and she is not easily pleased! We love it too. I'd happily live there myself one day if the need should arise.
Reply from David Gillespie, Director at Abbots Leigh Manor Nursing HomeThank you. We appreciate your kind comments.

Review from David M (Son of Resident) published on 20 January 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has resided here for some years. During that period, the most striking feature of this nursing home is the consistency of the warm, caring and empathic approach of all the staff who we have encountered. There has been a turnover of staff caring for my mother but the thoughtfulness and professionalism
of all those members of staff has been truly wonderful. My mother and all our family are so grateful for this level of care.


There is a busy programme of varied activities that is provided for residents every day. The environment is attractive, clean and well maintained although the building is old and not originally designed as a nursing home. The food provided is of high quality.


It is a huge reassurance for all the family to have my mother in such a lovely place.

I am really grateful to Abbots Leigh Manor for taking such good care of my mother while she was there. Every member of staff was unfailingly kind to her and their cheerful presence and reassurance made a big difference to her and to the whole family at a very difficult time. The atmosphere at the nursing
home is really friendly and in all my visits there I never passed a member of staff (whether involved in management, caring, nursing, cleaning or housekeeping) without receiving a smile or greeting. It's also a comfortable, clean and very attractive environment - the Christmas decorations were amazing - and there are interesting activities on offer for residents every day. I would recommend the nursing home without hesitation to anyone exploring the option of residential nursing care for themselves or a family member.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.582)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.582) out of 10 for Abbots Leigh Manor Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 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 4.732 for Abbots Leigh Manor Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (141 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 179 Ratings = 4.732
  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 4.85 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Abbots Leigh Manor Nursing Home is based on 14 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 = 3.85
    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 69 registered maximum number of service users is 13.8, which has been reached with 14 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.
