Leycester House in Warwickshire, a stone’s throw from Warwick Castle and Shakespeare’s Stratford, is a purpose-built care home that offers spacious care facilities within a luxury environment.

A team of professional and skilled staff are trained in the delivery of high-quality care to all residents with a strong focus on wellbeing, and all hospitality staff are trained to hotel standards. It makes all the difference.

The pricing policy is all-inclusive at Leycester House – a single weekly fee covers all care, all facilities and all the inspired and stimulating events held in the home. This includes the bar and bistro, fine dining, outings, entertainment, and even getting your hair done.

The policy at Leycester House is to always pay team members above the National Living Wage and employ a higher than average quantity of staff, ensuring all residents' expectations are always met. The team feel valued and appreciated, and this in turn benefits the Leycester House residents.

The home features its own cinema room where residents can relax, a fully stocked bar and bistro, library, private dining room, spa, hairdressing salon and landscaped gardens.

Leycester House has a full-time events manager who organises activities and events for all residents to enjoy each week, while the home has its own chauffeur-driven, high-end vehicle for use on days out and special occasions.

Well-connected by the M40 and A46, Leycester House is easily accessible yet is close to all sorts of amenities and Warwick’s many beautiful parks.

On every visit, we have received a warm and friendly welcome.
It is like seeing our friend in an excellent "family" hotel.
Our "celebration" meal could not have been bettered.

Although I have no real experience of other care homes, I cannot imagine any other being better than Leycester House and although it is expensive at first sight, it is inclusive and every request is given full consideration and fulfilled if at all possible.
My only negative comment relates to male
carers being involved in my wife's personal care. The point was made and accepted.

My friend (the resident) had a birthday lunch with friends on 12/04/19 and it was a great occasion. We were very well looked after - food was superb, high quality, dining room attractively prepared. More drink offered than we could cope with. A superb service all round.

Review from A B (Son of Resident) published on 27 March 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Leycester House was a lovely place for mum to spend her last few months of life. The nursing and care staff looked after her and cared for her with kindness, love and dignity. Staff were always available to assist her and feed her at meal times and other needs throughout the day and nights. Staff were
well experienced in the care needed. The room mum had was lovely and pleasant to spend her days and nights in. More suitable supportive recliner chairs and wheelchairs would have meant mum could have been sat out of bed earlier and taken to events downstairs which would have been appreciated without additional costs. These could have been shared by other and future residents. At times her ensuite bathroom hadn't been cleaned.

My father entered Leycester House initially for respite on the residential floor. The manager and nurses could not have done more to care for him initially settling in and then as his condition deteriorated he moved to the nursing floor. His wishes were followed at every stage and he was treated with
dignity and respect throughout. Their care extended to the family helping us in every way. Nothing was too much trouble. Amazing team.

Review from Patrick H (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 22 March 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
In 2017 I had never been in a care home but had the daunting experience of choosing one with nursing capability for my wife. My first impression when I entered Leycester House was that the environment was perfect for my wife,m it looked like home, and the welcome and information from the staff enhanced
that feeling of a family that would deal with all aspects of my wife's medical condition and support me during her stay. I attended my wife on a daily basis so that she felt that we were indeed at home together.
In 2019 my wife's mother needed medical care and I had no doubt that she and I would like her to go to the same place as my wife, where she had previously been as a visitor.
Leycester House provides such a comprehensive package that any needs of the resident or the family have been provided.
It has been like a sanctuary for my loved ones and the family, and it still gives me a good feeling when I go back.
Reply from Linda Atkinson, General Manager at Leycester House

Review from Judith A (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 March 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my mother and my father passed away at Leycester House within the last year roughly six months apart.


The team at Leycester House care.


The team have a professional competency and efficiency rarely experienced these days. They take on complex and fast-changing medical needs and prescription

regimes seemingly effortlessly.


The team is led by a wonderful lady who will be honest and straight with you, with a depth of knowledge and compassion that helps put your mind at ease.


She, together with her head of respite care, made a material difference to my father’s last month. They and their team supported him with dignity and grace.


My father, who had been in situ there for about a month prior to his final week, was so determined to make it back to Leycester House for his final 24 hours that he made the most tremendous effort to be transferred from hospital A&E to ensure he rested in their care.


His actions speak more volume than my words.

Reply from Linda Atkinson, General Manager at Leycester House

We consider ourselves to be privileged to have cared for your lovely parents. Your kind words are so encouraging for my team and reassure them that they are indeed achieving what is so important to them. Thank you.

My father took residence in Leycester House when he became too ill to be cared for at home. He was suffering from leukaemia and spent his last 16 days there. Not only did he receive excellent care but he was treated with an incredible level of respect and dignity. We too as his family were always received
warmly. Nothing was ever too much trouble and we benefitted from the emotional support available. It is a wonderful place with incredibly devoted, caring and professional staff.

My friend was only with you for about six weeks sadly, but throughout that time she had the best of care and was given everything she could possibly have needed. The staff were delightful and showed great respect and kindness. When my friend passed away she was not alone as the staff had found another
friend who could be with her. Also, thank you for making visiting easier by providing food and drink when it was an all-day visit.

My dad was 96 on the Sunday and a fantastic day, he had 12 family members at his party. It was wonderful, we had nibbles on arrival with drinks then we all sat down to a very nice meal. The food and the service was outstanding a singer was arranged which was a very nice touch. I would highly recommend

My husband recently stayed at Leycester House for three weeks respite. It felt like a friendly, well run family hotel rather than a care home. As there is such a low turnover of staff, it was lovely that the same friendly faces were around him each day and night. He built up a really good relationship
with all the carers who were all, without exception, friendly, experienced and compassionate.

My husband recently came to Leycester House. I have looked after him for many years as his carer. We were both upset at his needing other care. I felt the worst, I felt I had let him down. To my amazement and complete joy he has settled and is so happy and content. He is cared for, loved, reassured,
gently encouraged by incredible staff and today (21/11/18) he actually said: "I love it here." This made me cry with joy, a very special place.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.563)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.563) out of 10 for Leycester House 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 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 4.794 for Leycester House is calculated as follows: ( (113 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 141 Ratings = 4.794
  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 4.769 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Leycester House is based on 12 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 78 registered maximum number of service users is 15.6. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.6 = 0.769
  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.
