My mother was a resident of Leah lodge for 4 months before death on 5th September. She suffered from dementia and all members of staff were fantastic to her and catered for all her needs. They looked after her and cared for her in a very sympathetic way. I would recommend Leah lodge to anyone who is
looking for special care for dementia.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum joined leah lodge end of February 25. It had been a very tough decision,because our wish was that she could continue living in her own house.
However we were pleasantly surprised how quickly mum was settled.
RELATIONSHIPS:
Mum has a good relationship with the staff . They are very caring. There
is some lovely banter going on between residents and staff. I come to the home very often and i have observed that the staff is extremely patient,friendly and affectionate with the residents.
PERSONAL and MEDICAL CARE:
The staff takes very good care of mum checking her regularly for cleanliness and comfort. Mum does not have any bad smell on her whatever the time we visit.
The staff seem to be attentive to mum's eventual medical needs. They are prompt to communicate if something happens. They have raised SG for a DTI.when even her personal doctor had not. They made sure that mum was visited by the doctor and district nurse as necessary. They are approchable to us the family.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
In 2024 I started searching for a safe place for a 90 year old lady who was no longer able to look after herself in her flat. I have lived in Blackheath for 40 years and set the bar high to find the right care home. When I visited Leah Lodge the search ended.The staff listened, respected and understood
our needs. My many questions were all answered. Within a few weeks a well appointed room was offered. My friend was delighted. Our requests have been listened to as needs have changed. A caring place where one is greeted by name, a smile and offered help if needed - nothing seems to be too much trouble. It is loverly to take her to the coffee lounge for a drink and delicious cake despite her becoming a little muddled and in clothes she has been helped choose. A good choice of well cooked meals served in the dining room with friends made within the home. Leah Lodge has certainly looked after my needs. I am sure they will continue to respond to her changing needs. Well done to all.

Leah Lodge was our choice after visiting several other care homes in the premium category and we are still happy with that choice four years later.
Every staff member I've ever met has been lovely. They are very conscientious about reporting any little bruise or blemish, which is a great comfort.
The
rooms are a little on the small side but they are comfortable.
As to value, I believe the price is in line with the industry, but it is extremely expensive and has risen far beyond inflation.

I visit my uncle with my mum on a fortnightly basis. Both my mum and uncle have dementia so we have entertaining conversations. My mum is always comforted that my uncle is well looked after and staff always update me on how he is doing. The staff at Leah Lodge are always so kind and caring and I know
my uncle is well looked after. They know his needs and his love of chocolate and cake so I know he is happy!

Review from Jean C (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mum moved into this care home in February 2025. She is at the advanced stage of vascular dementia and alzheimer's. To be honest, I creid all the way in the taxi when bringing her to the home, while she remained calm. When she arrived she was so pleased to see so many smiley faces and was welcomed
by all.
For me, no care home is good enough for my mum, and in my visits I keep a close eye on as much as I can. 9 months later, I have to say, it was the right move. The environment in Leah Lodge is peaceful - like a small private hotel. Nicely decorated and it does not have 'that smell'. My mum and her surroundings are kept clean and she seems very happy. I imagined having to bring her proper food on my visits, but the standard of catering is very good. I know it is tasty as I taste it.
Finally, I cannot fault the staff looking after my mum. They are kind and friendly, and I have come to appreciate that they do not put on a show when I visit. That's great.

My uncle has been at Leah Lodge for several years and I thoroughly recommend it as he has been very happy throughout. The staff treat him so well, they respect his wishes at all times, and they are unfailingly kind to him and to us when we visit. There is always a good atmosphere and my uncle feels
completely at home, part of the family there. I am kept up to date with all the events organised, trips out, etc, and regularly updated if he has seen the doctor for any reason. He was very ill last year and the staff were so quick to act and get treatment he came through as physically well as ever. As a family we have complete confidence that he is happy and well cared for at Leah Lodge.

My brother-in-law has been resident at Leah Lodge for a few months now.and they have looked after him extremely well. As his decline continues they have been attentive to all his needs and have ensured that he gets needed medical care while still providing opportunities to engage with others to the

My father was taken into Leah Lodge Care Home after a fall at home and my mother struggled to care for him at home. He was 94-year-old. I was very apprehensive about Care Homes, but Leah Lodge were fantastic. Dad had dementia and the way the staff encouraged and included him in activities and outings
brought him out of himself. The staff are marvelous and I would definitely recommend the whole team. Well done and thank you Leah Lodge.

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!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.772)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.772) out of 10 for Leah Lodge 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 45 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 43 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 4.772 for Leah Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (446 Excellents x 5) + (66 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 531 Ratings = 4.772
  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 Leah Lodge Care Home is based on 43 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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6, which has been reached with 43 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.

I am overjoyed to be part of the Leah Lodge team. I am really excited to watch this home be successful and most of all see the residents be delivered excellent care and live in the luxury accommodation we offer.


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.
