Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Leighton Rose is a brand new care home. The facility itself and the staff are 5 star. There have been 'teething' problems but we expected that we such a new facility but the staff have been very good in dealing with any issues and learning lessons for the future. The food and the organisation around
breakfast, lunch and dinner could be improved but overall I would have no problem in recommending Leighton Rose as an excellent care home.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My Mum went into Leighton Rose after a fall and a period in hospital. She has dementia which makes it hard for her to settle. After a brief settling in period for both the staff and my mum (the floor was newly open) the staff have got to know her needs and treat her like a friend. It is such a relief
to me to know Mum is safe and looked after well. She is encouraged to participate in activities which is of great benefit to her.
The management keep in contact with me when they need information which is reassuring. Very importantly her friends can visit regularly and are made to feel welcome.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
After a short stay in a hospital for a serious lung cancer operation. I returned home but almost immediately experienced severe complications so was placed into another hospital for 2 and half weeks. I was then transferred direct to Leighton Rose Care Home for 2 weeks. I did not agree with this decision
even though the home was in superb condition and my room was excellent. I have since found that during the two weeks that I have been here, the important thing to me has been the caring and knowledgeable help from people working here. Superb building and lovely people.

While on respite care I have spent the last 2 1/2 weeks in Leighton Rose where I have been made welcome by all the staff. The home is well designed and spacious. My room was large and comfortable with the wet room which is far easier to use than a shower. Food is OK but could be better. I would like
to thank all the staff for the care and attention I have had.

Since my time here I have been made welcome both by staff & residents. Food main criticism special diets are kidney dialysis & diabetes. Chef has been given lists food needs to be more attractive by sauces & condiments on the table appropriate to the meat, fish. Activities I have welcomed within my
abilities, others have refused to take part. Some staff are not easy to understand.

Review from E H (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 18 February 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

My grandmother initially went to Leighton Rose Care Home on respite but has since decided to remain permanently, as she has enjoyed her experience so much.
She raves about the food, the staff, the laundry service, the activities, and the proximity to town.
The staff are very responsive and professional.
It's brought our family such peace of mind knowing that she is safe but, most importantly, happy.

Leighton Rose is such a beautiful new care home. My mother has always had trouble settling in new surroundings but I cannot fault the staff for making her so welcome. All her needs are provided for and it is such a relief to know she has the best care possible.

From the first moment we walked through the door we were made to feel welcome and confident that Leighton Rose was the right place for my husband.
He is bedridden and requires lots of nursing care. This is always given by lovely caring staff. The meals look amazing.
Thank you all for your care.

He has complicated health needs and the team at Leighton Rose are doing a great job looking after him.
I am very impressed with the care that has been provided.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Leighton Rose is a recently opened care home. The management team is 'at pains' to ensure they have high 'visibility' and are always easily approachable to discuss any issues regarding the care provided. They excel at ensuring a high level of service and providing a welcoming and friendly atmosphere.
The 'first line' care staff in daily contact with the residents are always very kind, helpful, and very sympathetic to the needs of the residents. The attention to detail by the medical team regarding the 'admin' and dispensing of drugs cannot be faulted and one can be confident that this important feature of the care in under complete control.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Having recently moved both my uncle and auntie into Leighton Rose I cannot stress enough how happy and content I am. Every need has been met by a team of experienced, talented and caring professionals.
The rooms are bright and spacious with an ensuite wetroom. All the hallways have furniture where
residents can take a rest whilst walking. The dementia unit has 'stops' along the hallway, allowing residents to stop, rummage and amuse themselves in each area.
Eating issues with my aunt have been dealt with sympathetically, discussing with her suitable ideas.
Visiting is at any time, making it very useful for family members to visit even during meal times.
Call in and have a coffee in the bistro, look at the bedrooms, lounges, cinema, salon, gym, craft room, library and not forgetting the local tavern, yes there really is a pub! The activities are building up as more residents move in.
Every member of the staff gives 100%!
Leighton Rose is not just a care home, it is a family!

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.615)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.615) out of 10 for Leighton Rose Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.615 for Leighton Rose Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (245 Excellents x 5) + (100 Goods x 4) + (18 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 364 Ratings = 4.615
  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 Leighton Rose Care Home is based on 31 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 71 registered maximum number of service users is 14.2, which has been reached with 31 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.

Job Title: Home Manger Joined: 2025

I began my journey in the Royal Air Force as part of the Princess Mary's Royal Air Force Nursing Service. The values instilled in me during my training—discipline, compassion, and dedication—continue to shape my approach to care today.


For the past 19 years, I have devoted myself to the management of nursing homes, driven by a deep passion for elderly care. To me, these are not just workplaces—they are the homes of the people we have the privilege to support. My mission is to ensure that every resident receives the dignity, respect, and quality of life they deserve.


I have a particular commitment to providing compassionate end-of-life care, ensuring comfort and peace in a person’s final moments. More than that, I believe in creating meaningful opportunities for people in their later years, fostering an environment where they can continue to thrive, engage, and feel valued. Caring for others is not just my profession—it is my calling.
