My wife was admitted to Littleover Nursing Home in July 2025. She unfortunately passed away in September 2025. During this time her care was excellent. The staff at this home go above and beyond to make the residents stay as pleasant and as comfortable as possible. If your loved ones need a nursing
home, please look at this one.

Littleover Nursing Home stepped in to provide end of life care for our relative. They went above and beyond to help us to get her into their care as soon as possible. From the first visit to the last they were kind, patient, sensitive and understanding. They provided excellent care to our relative in
her final few weeks. Nothing was too much trouble. They were caring and compassionate towards us as family. Everyone we came into contact with, the manager, care team, nursing staff and kitchen staff, all treated our relative and us with care and dignity throughout. We really can't fault them and are so very grateful for all they did for our relative and our family.

My father was looked after with dignity and care throughout his stay, originally, given three weeks to live...He survived almost six months. This is a testament to the first-class care he received. Thank you everyone.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Although apprehensive about my husband moving from long-stay hospital care to palliative care in Littleover, within weeks I was certain it was the right place. All equipment seemed different and management soon ordered an extra sensitive buzzer just for him. There is a settled set of nurses who respond
to my husband's needs at once and with whom we are on Christian name terms. The carers will tackle anything. I am full of admiration for what they do. The food is excellent. I really like the management team who are approachable and honest at all times. This home is welcoming every time I visit, the staff are supportive and friendly. Well done Littleover!

My Dad was a resident for 9 and a half months. He settled in well and got to know some of the staff very well. All of the staff - managers, nursing and caring staff, activity ladies, kitchen, domestic, laundry and maintenance man were always welcoming and always had a smile.
Not only were they kind
and caring to my Dad but they were very supportive to my sister and I always finding time for a chat and making us a cup of tea if needed.
So a big thank you to all the staff for making a difficult time so much easier. You are all truly amazing.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Staff very caring and very little staff turnover; they can develop good relationships with residents. Management very good, concerned to answer any problems we encounter and helpful in management of residents. My wife came in the home for end of life nursing and an expectation of three months, now we
are fourteen months on. Very suitable for end of life and therefore not requiring rehabilitation. My wife is immobile and still has perfect skin. Remarkable.

Review from G C (Next of Kin) published on 26 April 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
What can I say, started off great but really went downhill. Social isolation for residents is a big issue. Staff prefer people to stay alone in their bedrooms all day and night.
Dignity, privacy and respect don’t really exist at Littleover Nursing Home. The CEO isn’t interested. So task oriented no
person-centred care at all.
The food what can I say except 90% of the time it’s revolting very poor choice. My mother was offered fried egg with broccoli, Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes for Sunday lunch. There’s very rarely a choice for pudding.
Some lovely staff who try really hard but they just can’t make the difference needed to improve things.

From the time my mum was accepted into the Littleover Nursing Home family in August 2021, having become unable to speak and being partially paralysed by a stroke, to her passing away peacefully in March 2022, she was treated with dignity and respect by the team. Nothing was too much trouble. The rooms
were clean, light and airy and in there were times I nearly dozed off sitting with mum. Thank you for making my mum's last months so peaceful and dignified.

My dad was made to feel loved and cared for during his time at Littleover Nursing Home. From the very first moment when he arrived on his birthday, he was made to feel special. The staff here are amazing and both he and my mum were shown genuine kindness from the whole team. The love and support that
was shown to my mum, my brother, and myself made us feel that they had all the time in the world for us no matter how busy they were. I feel genuinely humbled by the approach to residents and their families here and will never be able to thank them enough.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (9.042)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.042) out of 10 for Littleover 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 6 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 4.692 for Littleover Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (45 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 65 Ratings = 4.692
  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 4.35 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Littleover Nursing Home is based on 6 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 = 3.6
    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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 8 = 0.75
  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.
