Review from John M (Son of Resident) published on 12 November 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Delighted with everything. It's wonderful to see Mum surrounded by company and now new friends. I know she's safe, clean and well fed. In comparison to this time last year (before she moved to Stoneleigh), the improvement is dramatic. She obviously has her aches, pains and complaints about her condition,
but she lights up every time I visit her, which wasn't always the case when she lived alone. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, and I thoroughly enjoy my visits. Keep up the good work!

My mum has been at Stoneleigh for several months and my mum has never been happier. She says things like "I love it here" "I am very happy here".
The staff are absolutely fabulous, so kind, so helpful, nothing is any trouble.
I have no hesitation in recommending Stoneleigh Care Home to everyone.

My mum was discharged from hospital for respite care. Within a week of being here the improvement to both her physical and mental health has been incredible, and we are hoping she can go home much sooner then planned. The staff are extremely helpful, pleasant and supportive. Every aspect of my mums
stay has been excellent, we have been very impressed.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.850)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.850) out of 10 for Stoneleigh Care 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 44 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 44 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 4.850 for Stoneleigh Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (446 Excellents x 5) + (72 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 521 Ratings = 4.85
  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 Stoneleigh Care Home is based on 44 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 36 registered maximum number of service users is 7.2, which has been reached with 44 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.
