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.

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.

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.

My dad stayed in Leah Lodge between January and April 2024 for respite care following a stroke.
The staff here are wonderful and kind, it was an ideal place for his recovery. Dad's consultant said recently that she thinks the excellent respite care at Leah Lodge made a huge difference to his recovery
and the outcome we have now.
Having Dad so well looked after and so local to us made a huge difference to our whole family. We were always welcomed at Leah Lodge with huge kindness and warmth and I felt confident that he was being cared for very well.

Mum has been at Leah Lodge for nearly 2 years now, and overall we are very pleased that we chose Leah Lodge (from the 9 care homes we looked at) - it is a small building, which has its pluses and minuses, but we love the homely and friendly feel it has, partly as a result of it's size. Mum's dementia
has, sadly, been steadily getting worse and, in the last few weeks, we have had to deal with particularly difficult changes involving loss of mobility, eating problems and extra health issues, all of which the excellent staff have handled with great care and professionalism. The superb care she has received has made it so much better to bear as a family and, more importantly, Mum remains happy and content for most of the time - the fact that Mum has been able to stay at Leah throughout her challenging journey is a big positive for us. Also, the communication with the family from the senior care staff, and their attentiveness to Mum's changing condition, has been excellent.

We love Leah Lodge! It's like being part of a big extended family. From the moment, they 'thought outside the box' and took our Dad in with just two hours notice, with a member of staff coming to Queen Elizabeth to do his assessment to bringing Dad back to life and then helping us through our mum's
sudden death, they have been nothing short of wonderful. We go in every day to see our Dad and everyone is always there, ready with a smile and a chat. The staff and carers are so human and care deeply about the residents and their families. The lodge itself is cosy, clean and calm and the gardens and courtyards are really beautiful. Plus there's always coffee, homemade sausage rolls and fairy cakes in the cafe for residents and visitors. Leah Lodge will have a special place in our hearts forever.

Group meeting with senior management regarding dissatisfaction of customer service on many issues. Meeting was managed appallingly, staff were aggressive and bullying ethos towards relatives. Several attendees cried or walked out. Attendees interrupted each other and managers berated relatives for raising
their voices when upset. No care or concern shown towards relatives. Relatives told that if they were not happy, "Then why is your loved one still living here?" Management didn't listen to relatives and were unsympathetic and did not seem willing to change. Residents viewed as 'profit' not human beings.

My father spent 2 months at Leah Lodge for respite. He has advanced Parkinson's and therefore needs quite a lot of help with his daily activities. The care home team were absolutely lovely and cared for all aspects of his needs during his stay. He also enjoyed the activities put on by the activities
team and was able to engage with the other residents as well. The food was also top-notch, and he has been spoilt with 3-course meals which he now no longer gets at home! Additionally, the facilities are very new and also very well adapted to people with mobility issues, such as plenty of seating, handrails etc. This was very helpful for my dad and as he is prone to falls, meant he was able to steady himself and prevent falls.

My friend, who was suffering from an incurable brain tumour, moved into Leah Lodge for a period of respite care in early December 2023. From our first contact with staff there, everyone was helpful, considerate and professional, making the whole process far easier than it might have been.
All of the
care staff were exceptionally friendly, caring and professional, going out of their way to get to know my friend and understand exactly what she needed. Throughout her stay, senior staff communicated on an almost daily basis and always replied to emails and phone calls within a few hours.
In early January, when it became clear that there were no further treatment options, the level of care she received was amazing. I cannot imagine a better place to spend the last months of one's life. And when she died in mid-February, again everything was handled brilliantly. Thank you all so much.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.789)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.789) 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 43 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 41 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 4.789 for Leah Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (435 Excellents x 5) + (56 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 508 Ratings = 4.789

  • 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 41 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 41 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.

I have 6 years of experience working in catering and have enjoyed every moment, learning new things all the time. I have a BETEC level 2 in hospitality and catering and an NVQ level 2 in kitchen services and food safety.


About Me:
When I’m not working I spend time with my three sons and visiting my family, I like socialising with my friends and having a good meal out with somebody else cooking.
