  • Leycester House, Warwick
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. Staff 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.

My husband has been resident at Leycester House for nearly 12 months. I have also stayed at Leycester House for respite care. We recently celebrated our 67th wedding anniversary at the home and had a lovely family celebration in the fine dining room. I am extremely happy with the love and care that
my husband receives. Any queries we have are always answered and dealt with promptly and effectively. The facilities are wonderful.

For our very first visit to Leycester House, we knew that it was the right place. We received a very warm welcome and everyone looked relaxed and happy which made our decision very easy. The fondness and care shown to my husband from the whole team at Leycester House was extremely reassuring and comforting
to the family at a very difficult time. We would not hesitate to recommend Leycester House to any family looking for a care home for a loved one and we do not believe they could be in better hands.

Mum was cared for by the nursing team until she passed away. The care and kindness of staff towards mum and us, her relatives was excellent. Mum was looked after in a way that meant she had the best levels of comfort and medical support. I feel the nurse in charge of the nursing team is really a great
leader, professionally competent, deeply caring and calm. Thank you for all you did for mum and us. All of you.

Huge thanks to all for the wonderful birthday celebrations for my mother-in-law, done with such love, care and attention to detail - the whole team made it a perfect two days for her.
From first discussions with the Head Chef, everything went swimmingly. He paid attention to every detail and he and
his team produced the most lovely lunch, including her favourite vegetables. The fish, perfectly cooked, with a superb accompanying sauce was enjoyed by all. To produce such a five-star meal for our large family while also attending to all your residents just demonstrates what a wonderful service you offer. And then a scrumptious buffet for 30 + people - many commented on the lovely spread and the great coffee.
The tables and the room for both events were so beautifully decorated too, with lots of lovely touches - and the cake! How clever, how thoughtful and how beautiful. Grateful thanks to the whole team for two very enjoyable and memorable days - it couldn't have been better.

We are so glad that we found Leycester House. My aunt has settled in happily and the staff are most caring and loving. The facilities are wonderful and we are always made welcome when we visit. A special thanks for a superb lunch party laid on for my aunt's 101st birthday. All the family were impressed
by the clear, affection shown by the general manager and the rest of the staff.

This is a home/hotel rather than an old people's home. There is always a good vibe as soon as you come into the building. The home feels 'safe' and I never worry about mum now she is here. I am always made welcome. The facilities and food are fantastic and the guests are always made welcome too. Above
all, the staff are super and on hand to help. Thank you.

We were introduced to Leycester House via the internet and made 3 separate visits to confirm our desire to ask the management to accept my terminally ill wife for 'end of life care' and transfer from the local hospital. It was, without doubt, the best arrangement possible, quiet charm, very attentive
management and staff throughout. Every request was dealt with great empathy and the welcome, all inclusive tariff enabled us to eat together several times. This home is an absolute gem, setting such a high bar and winning in every way. It should be used as a standard throughout all health care systems.

Following a hip replacement, the Leycester House proved an ideal place in which to recover and have the, much needed, rest, also to regain some independence with the help of excellent staff. I enjoyed the meals, the chefs kindly catered for my dietary replacements. The general management was excellent,
every need was addressed, the weekly bulletin with the entertainment to suit all and the encouragement to attend exercise classes! I found all the staff very helpful and nothing was too much trouble including 2 day trips to the hospital for investigation and treatment.

Leycester House provided a kind, caring and stimulating home for our mother. The facilities are all excellent and the staff, in all areas, always friendly and eager to help. Our mother felt at home in Leycester House and it was a great comfort to her family that she was so well cared for in a safe environment
and all her needs were catered for. Thank you.

If only all care homes were run like this one, the world would be a better place. You have marvellous management and staff. It doesn't matter what sort of day they have got they are always smiling and ready to help you. My husband has been going for respite since you opened. He said he hoped he wouldn't
have to go anywhere else. It is like home from home, from cleaners to the chef, to reception and carers. Thank you. It makes my life much easier.

The manager and staff of Leycester house are the best I have ever encountered. My husband suffered a severe stroke in 2017 and a care home was his worst nightmare to be suffered in the event. The last 12 months, due to the loving care and dedication of their excellent staff, were the very best they
could possibly have been. Nothing is ever too much trouble. The quality of these surroundings, the food, the entertainment is all excellent. But for my husband, who always jealously guarded his privacy, the last few days of his life were spent being cared for and cherished by their wonderful staff. He was kept comfortable and free from pain. They simply give everything they have to make their residents content, peaceful and loved whilst giving every support to their family members. They are literally angels on this Earth. I have never seen this anywhere else. I can only give them my heartfelt and grateful thanks for making my husband so comfortable, with every small detail attended to with such kind thought. Leycester House I applaud you and sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart.

My Mum has been a resident at Leycester House for just over 12months. In May we all celebrated her 100th Birthday when all her family from near and far were made to feel special, very welcome and a wonderful buffet was provided for all to enjoy. Sadly Mum passed away on July 24th, I can’t thank the
manager and the teams enough, also the night staff enough for all the love, care and support they gave before and throughout this sad time. Mum was always treated with dignity and respect, the love, laughter, hugs and kisses will stay in our hearts for ever. Thank you.

We moved my mother to Leycester House in January 2018 as she suffers with dementia. The level of care she receives is wonderful. Mummy always looks beautifully dressed and is regularly stimulated with a wealth of activities. There is a very friendly and caring feel about the home and it is a pleasure
to visit her. It has given the family complete peace of mind. We would recommend it highly.

My wife, who had suffered from dementia for six years, stayed for a week's respite in December 2017 before moving to Leycester House permanently in January this year. She settled in immediately and thought of the home as her home. She was always happy and smiling when I visited and was pleased to see
me and knew my name but never thought of leaving. She was stimulated, ate well with a lot of assistance from the staff and could not have received better care.
Very sadly she died in April very unexpectedly and I can give no higher praise than to say that during her last hours the care was as good as at the very best hospices.

A very short visit to my friend ... who is extremely ill ... so only stayed for an hour. We were met on arrival and encouraged to have tea/coffee and cake ... these were excellent. The staff were very friendly and professional and informative. The whole ambience and atmosphere is calm, peaceful and
supportive. My friend is beautifully cared for in a well-appointed room.

We found Leycester House beautifully furnished and very well equipped. The rooms were tasteful and large beds a bonus.
All the staff were delightful and could not be more helpful.
The evenings were quiet and more stimulation would have been a bonus for dad. He was very content here and looked very
healthy on leaving. Many thanks to all the staff.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.585)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.585) out of 10 for Leycester House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.816 for Leycester House is calculated as follows: ( (116 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 141 Ratings = 4.816

  • b) 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:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
