  • 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. 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.

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.

More of a boutique hotel for the elderly than a care home. Have already booked my room for 2038. Hopefully.

Leycester House care is the best care home ever. My father had been in two other care homes before the Leycester House care home, the difference was the hostel in a third world country and a 5-star hotel. The Leycester House care home being the 5-star hotel.
The staff are amazing, supportive and really
do care about their residents.
Their standards are extremely high.
Both my parents died while in the Leycester House care home, it was expected but the compassion and support they gave my family was outstanding and beyond the call of duty.
They really do care, unlike other care homes I've seen, which, quite frankly, you wouldn't want to be in dead let alone alive and ill.
If you are looking for a care home, this is the only one I would recommend.
Your relatives will be more than cared for.
They even made my dad's feet look good, quite an achievement, trust me.

Having recently spent a week at Leycester House after a major operation, I can honestly say it was the best place for me to recoup. Excellent care in nice surroundings. All the staff were friendly, helpful and nothing was to much trouble.
I was made to feel very welcome. The only area I felt needed
attention was the cleaning of my room, bathroom and my bed wasn't always made.

Ten days respite care.
Some initial services not in place on arrival but sorted out after several days.
Booked in for April and July.
This visit clashed with building alterations which affected the total package.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care our old neighbour is experiencing is second to none. She has settled in well into an atmosphere more like a 5* hotel than a care home. Staff are friendly and frequently check she is ok and will chat for a while. Our neighbour feels she is part of a new family. Activities keep her busy and trips
out make her aware of the outside world still. After staying for lunch one day, I can confirm the food is to hotel standards with choices at all meals and special requirements always available. Super place!

My wife has been a resident for several weeks. We have nothing but praise for this amazing care home. The staff are so caring and thoughtful to all residents.
The rooms are excellent and the general facilities first class. The food is very good and suitable.
Activities are arranged every day for
residents who wish to participate including outings to places of interest.

Two visits to Leycester House for post-operative recuperation on both occasions the care and physical environment have been excellent.
The surroundings and food are the equivalent of four-star hotel facilities.
I would not hesitate to recommend for either short, medium and long stays.

Review from Nicky M (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 December 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my parents spent their last three weeks of life in the Leycester House. The standard of care was excellent. Apart from being highly competent the nurses were empathetic and looked after the family as well. They kept Mum and Dad as comfortable as possible in their last days. The nurses were highly
experienced and kept us up to date with our Mum and Dad's situation. We were provided with a room when we knew that our parents were likely to pass away and had free reign of the kitchen to make coffee, tea and toast. The Head nurse even came in on her day off when she found out that Mum had passed away.


The surroundings in the care home are luxurious. Visitors are fed and when there were a few of us visiting we were given a private room where we had lunch. I would highly recommend this care home.

Review from Rosemary P (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 October 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother moved in as a permanent resident for nursing care in August. The care has been superb. Staff are gentle, patient and clearly care about the residents. The nursing care is extremely competent and compassionate. Records are detailed and regularly updated. I am looked after too, plenty of drinks
and food on offer whenever I come.


The food is restaurant quality, delicious, freshly cooked and well presented. The chef produced an excellent gluten-free meal for my coeliac daughter when she visited with no fuss. It is clear that staff know the residents well and make every effort to care for them as individuals. They are constantly busy but always make time to speak and greet me by name whenever I visit.


I am very confident that Mum is receiving the best possible care. Leycester House is one minute from the M40 junction which makes my local journey speedy from wherever in the district I may be travelling.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 85-year-old mother entered this care home after being discharged from hospital on 6th September. She had lung cancer and was in the last stages of life. I was so impressed at this care home.
The building was beautifully appointed and scrupulously clean throughout.
The staff were superb at all
levels and were very kind and supportive to both my mother and the friends and relatives that came to visit her.
The hospitality provided to visitors is quite amazing. Visitors can have meals in the dining room with residents or have a drink at the bar (coffee tea, wine, beer etc.) and this is all included in the fee paid by the resident.
When my mother became very ill on Sunday, 17th I was provided with a separate room to sleep in so that I could be close to her 24 hours a day. The staff offered me meals and drinks and brought them to me whenever I wanted. Even a full English breakfast was provided. I stayed there for three days until my mother died and almost felt like a resident.

When I was called for open heart surgery, I couldn't go home so looked for respite. Leycester House was our first choice. Very welcoming, friendly and they had a clear perception of just what we would need. The whole ambience, high standard of care and support are apparent. The many staff work together
and clearly support each other. The home and décor is a delight to live in with every luxury laid on to make residents feel valued and totally cared for. A variety of entertainment, activities, cinema, spa and hairdresser are freely available. Leycester House is a top quality care home which we could not speak highly enough - more a luxury hotel with first class care included.

Welcoming, cheerful, kind, caring, clean, helpful, patient are some of the words to describe the staff and environment of Leycester House. Nothing is too much trouble for any staff member whatever their role or position. They take great care of dad who has Parkinson's disease and appreciates his sense
of humour which thankfully he still has.

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.
