Very pleased with the home. Everyone very good, my room was very clean and tidy.
One problem, the bed was poor, better quality beds.

Review from Boyan L (Respite Resident) published on 12 January 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was convalescing at Leominster Care home following foot/ankle tendon surgery at the hospital. My stay was excellent as the post-operation swelling reduced with rest and foot elevation. The nursing and care staff were very helpful and nothing was too much trouble they were all friendly and caring.
The only negative was that I could only have a shower once a weekly but was able to do it myself after the 4th day.

Thank you for your review. I hope that you are now back in good health and are able to get around better after your surgery. I'm so glad to hear that you were well cared for while in our care and your kind words about our staff.

My mum has received the most wonderful care and support during her three week respite stay. The staff have always been so kind and patient with her.
They have slowly built her confidence and with gentle encouragement, she has regained her appetite and is now eating all her delicious lunch and chatting
to other residents.
You receive a warm welcome as soon as you step through the door.
Reply from Jayne Duck, Customer Services Administrator at Leominster Care Home

Thank you for your review. I'm so glad to hear that your mum enjoyed her stay with us and that she has got some of her confidence back and enjoying her food. I hope that she will come and stay with us again for some respite care.

I came into Leominster Care Home in a very bad state. I cried for several days owing to my illness and the death of my husband. Whilst I was in here the carers took care of me and welcomed me and brought me back to myself after several weeks. I would tell anyone how nice it is in Leominster Care Home.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Carers generally caring and helpful. Sometimes seem to rush - probably because they have so many residents to see at the same time. Food, good generally and will react positively to suggestions. Laundry service good. Cleaning good. Senior staff will listen and act on request or suggestions. Some careers
sometimes need to listen to residents requests more sympathetically.

Bupa Leominster are looking after my Nan, I am very happy with the way the girls are looking after my Nan. Always taking the time to talk to her and when they are generally walking past, they always pop their heads in the door to say hello. Food is always brilliant and my Nan never complains.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was in the care home is nearly 5 weeks for respite care.
I am elderly and was suffering from a chest infection. I could not fault the care and attention shown to me by all the staff. I was treated with dignity and respect and everyone made me feel special. Nothing was too much trouble. I am diabetic
and all my dietary needs were taken care of and I was even able to eat the wonderful homemade cake and puddings because they were diabetic friendly. There was always a good choice on the menu and food was tasty and good quality. I would highly recommend this care home to anyone who needed extra care, support and TLC.

My father was fast-tracked into Leominster as he was not expected to live very long. Due to the care and dedication of the staff he has pulled through, is still with us some 8 months later. I cannot praise all the staff enough. They always make you so welcome when visiting and could not think of a better
place I would like my dad to be. They are a credit to the company- well done.

My old friend of 90 years old couldn't have been looked after better in all ways of care to the end of her life in August 2016.
Apart from the occasional moment, everything was in place for top care from everyone at the home and I would recommend it to anyone who requires the best care possible.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.792)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.792) out of 10 for Leominster Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.792 for Leominster Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (242 Excellents x 5) + (52 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 298 Ratings = 4.792
  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 Leominster Care Home is based on 25 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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6, which has been reached with 25 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.
