I cannot speak highly enough of Leah Lodge and its staff. My mum, who has moderate Alzheimer's, moved in a month ago. We were both worried about this big step as she had been living with me and my family but we really needn't have been. The staff were so supportive throughout the decision-making and
moving-in process and Mum settled in quickly. She is very happy in her new home and enjoys the activities, especially the outings (she has been to a local school, to church and Gardens) and has already made a couple of friends! The staff are caring, positive and friendly and always willing to listen however busy they are. The best thing for us as a family is that we can relax knowing that Mum is so well looked after and it's great to see her living her own life again having been so dependent on us. We love visiting her at Leah Lodge, sitting in the cafe having tea and cake or relaxing in the beautiful garden. It's such a warm and welcoming atmosphere!

I am super happy with the care that Leah Lodge provides for my mum. Mum moved into Leah Lodge in Oct 2024 and she has done nothing but thrive. All the staff are not only caring but lovely and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. She joins in with all the activities and when they go out on days out
she has a great time.


It has been a great relief to know that mum is in such wonderful hands.

Be warned. Fees rise very sharply, punishing longer term residents. Each year fees have increased well above inflation; after 3 years we are now paying an extra £3000 per month, considerably more than new residents do for the same care. This is an injustice but management are indifferent to our objections,
caring only about their profits.

Reply from Sue Hill, General Manager at Leah Lodge Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're so pleased you've rated us highly in key areas-especially the quality of care, the dignity shown to residents, and the food and drink we offer. It means a great deal to know these aspects are meeting your expectations and enriching your loved one's daily life. We're genuinely sorry to hear your concerns about fee increases. Please be assured these decisions are never made lightly or driven by profit. Like many, we've faced steep rises in essential costs-staffing (including mandated minimum wage increases), food, energy, and other core services-many of which have outpaced our fee adjustments. We remain committed to managing these pressures fairly and transparently, ensuring all residents continue to receive consistent, high-quality care in a safe, supportive environment. We're always open to discussing individual concerns directly. Thank you again for your kind words, honest feedback and continued trust in our team.

We have all been really happy with the care provided at Leah Lodge. My stepdad settled in quickly, and is very fond of the staff, telling us how well they look after him. He has really enjoyed some of the activities, and the activities staff are outstanding. The care is very good and staff are quick
to communicate any concerns. He says the food is great, and it's nice to have the cafe area to sit and talk when we visit. It has been a huge relief to know that he is safe and well cared for. I could never have imagined someone so fiercely independent would be happy in a care home, but it has suited him remarkably well.

Management and all the team at Leah Lodge provided our family with exceptional support when we needed it the most. On entering a care home setting for the first time, Dad presented significant challenges to the team and his family and the Leah Lodge team worked with him and the family with great care,
sensitivity and compassion. We, the family, our very pleased to be able to recommend Leah Lodge to readers considering placing a loved one in their care - our experience has been a very positive one, in very difficult circumstances.

I moved into Leah Lodge 10 weeks ago; it is now my permanent home. Before I came, I was well supported by the publicity and recruitment staff, who patiently answered my many questions as worked through a life-changing decision.
My experience of living here has been very good. All staff know me and
address me by name at all times. Help is available at the touch of a button, and it is given cheerfully and willingly; there is an excellent balance between any support needed and respect and encouragement of my independence. The activities coordinators work hard to maintain our social skills through varied and imaginative projects, including frequent opportunities to go further afield in the minibus.
As for the comfort and maintenance of good health, menus are varied and interesting, beds are wide and comfortable, rooms are well furnished, and there is ready access to the doctor who visits the home every week.

Leah Lodge is a well run, caring place for people with dementia. The staff are professional but kind and friendly with the residents, who are given plenty of agency over decisions. It fosters a good environment, with plenty of activities and things for the residents to do. This is the fourth home that
my mother has been in (this happened more by accident that because we're difficult!), so I have a good understanding of how care homes work, and it is definitely the best, from the settling in process to the day-to-day lived experience.

I always thought putting a relative in a care home was the last thing I should do until a friend became a permanent resident in Leigh Lodge. It's such a happy and caring home, somewhere I'd enjoy living myself. The carers know all the friends and relatives of the residents. The relatives know each other's
mothers and fathers. It's like being part of a large family. The relatives meetings a time to connect over a glass and nibbles. The pizza, curry and fish and chip nights for the relatives an opportunity to chat with each other and the staff. The managers, senior carers and the lady who runs the activities.
My dogs are always welcome and enjoyed by the residents.
The staff have an extremely difficult job, which they manage calmly. There is often much laughter and fun, dancing and singing.
Leigh Lodge is always thinking up new ways to improve the lives of their residents. It's exciting to be involved in their plans and to be asked for our ideas.

Leah Lodge was the obvious choice for Mum when she needed residential care as my mother-in-law had lived there previously for several years and been very well looked after. Mum has been there for over 18 months now and is very happy. She settled in straight away so the transition was much easier than
I expected. I think it is due to the warmth and friendliness of all the carers who convey a great deal of compassion and kindness mixed with good humour and fun. Overall it is a very welcoming and friendly place which I believe sets it apart from other homes.

My mother has now been at Leah Lodge for just over 9 months having moved in just before Xmas last year after suffering a stroke. She took quite a few months to settle in but is now happy and doing lots of the activities offered (the activities co-ordinator is exceptional). The food is good with wine
offered at meal times. Staffing is also good. The main thing about Leah Lodge is that as soon as you walk in you don't feel like it's a typical care home setting as the reception area and cafe is very welcoming and friendly. The rooms and communal areas are also very personal and comforting. To conclude I feel Mum is safe and well cared for.

My mum has been in Leah Lodge since mid-December last year. We chose the home because it was near to my sister and we liked the cosy atmosphere. It took my Mum a little time to settle in because it was such a big change from her previous life but she has adapted well and appreciates many things about
the home, including the enthusiastic activities team; many kind staff; and the nice places to sit out in the courtyard, garden and lobby/cafe area. She gets many visitors and we appreciate the ability to make ourselves tea and coffee in the cafe. There are often parties and events - my sister and husband accompanied my mother to the summer fete up the road at the sister home. I attended the Wimbledon strawberries and cream party and have been out with her and other residents on several trips to the pub! We also appreciated the kindness and flexibility shown by a staff member who recently ensured she did not have a long wait for hospital transport home by going to collect her on the local bus.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

September has been a trying time for my father-in-law, he fell in the night presumably on the way to his bathroom, and cracked two of his ribs. His pain and physical discomfort were compounded by his dementia and very poor memory.
However, the response from Leah Lodge was excellent. They called an
ambulance promptly and accompanied him to the hospital, where I joined him. The staff were clearly concerned about his health and were proactive in getting him the pain relief he needed while recovering in the home. They carried out a thorough investigation and made a number of recommendations, which will be implemented to help prevent a similar fall from happening again.
Their communication with us was prompt, clear and comprehensive and I would just like to say a big thank you to all who have been involved. My father-in-law has made a speedy recovery, which is remarkable as he is 94 years old, and I believe that this is primarily due to the high quality of care that he has received.

Our uncle has been at Leah Lodge for 5 years and from the moment he went there he has been very happy. The staff are so friendly and kind and he receives fantastic care and support. All the family are made to feel welcome and we could not have wished for a happier place for him to spend these years.
He has absolutely thrived there, sometimes he likes to join in the activities and sometimes he doesn't and this is always respected. The accommodation and food are excellent and we are continuously updated on activities, and special events, and always get feedback after routine visits by the doctor, we feel very informed on his health and wellbeing. We have absolute peace of mind he is being well cared for at Leah Lodge and we appreciate so much that every member of staff goes the extra mile to make his life happy.

Leah Lodge is a small residential and dementia care facility located on a quiet street on the Blackheath and Lewisham border in South East London with easy access and parking for visitors and hospital transport.
The care is exemplary. The food is excellent and drinks and snacks are available 24/7.
Residents and their visitors use elegant cafe facilities and exquisite garden areas which are beautifully maintained. Housekeeping teams ensure the highest standards of hygiene, a professional laundry service and impeccable levels of cleanliness.
Most important for residents at Leah Lodge and their families are the staff. A kind, professional team at every level, with many years of collective experience of elderly care, tend to our precious family members and give us, as far as possible, peace of mind.
Regular social activities engage and stimulate. The loss of independence, so painful for our loved ones, can be a safe, joyful, sociable and loving stage of their lives here at Leah Lodge.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.777)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.777) out of 10 for Leah Lodge Care Home 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 41 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) 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:

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

    The Average Rating of 4.777 for Leah Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (412 Excellents x 5) + (55 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 485 Ratings = 4.777

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Leah Lodge 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:

    • 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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6, which has been reached with 39 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.

Being part of the team from the beginning gives me great pleasure in getting to know the residents and their families and show the pride and passion we hope to deliver to Leah Lodge at all times.


My working background has been working within the care industry for just over 4 and half years now having varied roles. These range from working in the Support Office delivering general support to the homes when they were under pressure, completing payrolls, purchase ledger, sales and finance. Whilst completing these varied roles the best part is being out visiting the homes, helping the employees and mainly caring for the residents which is what brings me to work as an administrator at Leah Lodge.
