Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I find the Stoneleigh Care Home to be very friendly and welcoming and their residents, on the whole, are treated very well by the carers, cleaning staff, the laundry ladies, the events lady and the management.
I especially would like to say how lovely and caring one particular carer is to everyone.
She always has a smile for everyone and nothing is too much trouble for her and the two young ladies that work in the kitchen.

My family and I are very happy and satisfied with the care provided at Stoneleigh. What's more important, my sister is happy and well cared for. She is safe which means a lot to us. The activities and general daily care is great.

Mum didn't want to go to respite care at Stoneleigh but loved it so much she wants to become a permanent resident.
She loved the carers, the food, the structure of her day, everything!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother-in-law really didn't want to go into respite care for a long weekend and tried a number of ploys to get out of it even going so far, the night before, telling us she was far too ill to go, we'd have to cancel it. As we had commitments we had to sort out this wasn't going to happen and we knew
it was nerves. We left her feeling very down about the whole thing. We went to pick her up 4 days later and she didn't want to come home, she loved it!

Mum transferred to Stoneleigh from a home here in Staffordshire. All her medical/well-being issues were addressed within the first two weeks with the most impressive efficiency and outcomes. The staff are all wonderfully warm and welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble.

Warm welcome by staff wearing Christmas jumpers. Like the arrangement of a sitting area off the large entrance hall. Comfortable furniture and warmth. View of people walking past means less isolated gardens well looked after.

Never thought My sister would settle into the home the way she has. She seems quite content and loves the staff. All the staff are really pleasant and cannot do enough to help you. The food always sounds great when she is asked what she wants to eat. Excellent choice.

My Mam has been in the home for about 6 months at a guess, not sure on the date. My Mam is really poorly. She is in the right plac.e I could not fault the home, carers, staff and everyone involved in working in Stoneleigh care home. Thank you very much for looking after my Mam. It means the world and
keep the good work up. You all do an amazing job.

Since my parents got back together in the same care home I could not have wished for a better place for them than Stoneleigh.
The facilities and care are first class.
The food and staff are excellent.
They are in a safe and caring environment which makes the families concerns minimal and stress free.
Long
may this continue.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.824)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.824) 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 4.8 out of 5 from 39 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 39 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 4.824 for Stoneleigh Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (389 Excellents x 5) + (74 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 467 Ratings = 4.824
  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 39 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 39 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.
