Leighton Rose Care Home

My father has been with Leighton Ross for 18 months. He has Alzheimer's. We have found all the staff very engaging friendly and supporting. The house is beautiful layout with many different areas for the residents to enjoy. The rooms are large and en-suite. There are 3 good meals each day with drinks snacks and fruit available all day. There 2 activities planned each day which are diverse and fun for the residents to participate in. Before going to Leighton Rose my father hardly saw any one. Now there lots of people to engage with and has made some friends.

After a sudden hospital admission my dad needed full time care. I contacted Kelly on the Monday desperate for a room for him, by the Thursday he was discharged from hospital and safe in the care of the Leighton Rose team. His room is modern and comfortable, he is very happy with the food and joins in with the many activities on offer. His clothes are cleaned daily which is such a relief. All of the staff I have encountered are friendly and welcoming. There is a lovely warm atmosphere in the home. Thank you!

My mother has now been a resident of Leighton Rose care home for over 6 months. It's taken a while for her to settle, but we as a family have seen the difference in her. She is eating well and definitely seems less stressed with the world. Mum chooses to spend her time mostly in her room, but there are plenty of activities if she chose to be more involved-hopefully that will come with time! The staff are very attentive and caring and always have a smile on their faces which is lovely to see.

Room only hoovered once in a period of four days.

Leighton Rose is a lovely, welcoming place and we are so glad that mum got to spend her final months here

The daily activities have given him a much appreciated opportunity to socialise, and friends and family that visit are reassured to find him looking so well.

The staff are always very welcoming & are happy to explain what is going on with his care. Any changes are communicated to me.

The home's response to suggestions and complaints has been mostly good. But housekeeping is sometimes a bit slack: breakfast things still not cleared away at lunchtime, tooth mug needing cleaning, for example.Mum has mentioned being treated like a child; staff really must be careful not to patronise elderly people. Lastly, bereavement counselling was mentioned but nothing has bee.

I live in Mallorca and am not able to visit my dad as much as I would like, because of my own domestic circumstances. However, Dad and I video call twice a week and I have seen such a positive change in him since he moved into Leighton Rose. I follow the home on social media and am impressed by the range of activities offered for residents.

My friend has now been in Leighton Rose Care Home for 3 months as a permanent resident. The staff, the building and facilities are all very good and up to the standard one would expect for the high amount it costs. But the food and kitchen services are NOT up to standard and on some occasions it could be called appalling. This seriously needs addressing by management as it lets the whole place down. There, now you have it warts and all.

My experience so far has been good or very good. Staff are approachable and respond to requests and ideas. Sometimes personal care isn't delivered because of staff shortages, but when delivered is good. Staff are kind and listen if I'm having down days, and can't sleep easily.

My only concerns are that housekeeping (room cleaning & laundry) have at times been an issue and that it isn't always easy to get through to LR out of hours. This could of course be down to staffing levels.

Dad has been in Leighton Rose for nearly a year. As I believe is normal, he took time to settle in, having been fully independent before and feeling that he had 'lost his freedom'. However he is now happily living there and engaging with activities, something we had never expected him to do to be honest as a very private person. As to the home, obviously it is a beautiful building with superb facilities . When he first went in they had some teething problems due to low numbers of residents (it hadn't long been open) and staffing issues. We have seen things vastly improve however and there is now a good atmosphere in the home and the staff are very kind, caring and friendly. We can only be impressed with the 'care response'when it's been needed. An example of improvement was the very extensive schedule of Christmas related activities and events, which were very professionally put together and managed. There is still progress needed on the catering but that should surely be fixable

The care home is now a year old and we are sure it will continue to grow its reputation in 2026.

I have just had 14 nights in Leighton Rose and was so disappointed in the quality of the food! Everything was cheap, no butter, only spread, breakfast choice - 3 cereals, toast, only jam or marmalade, no honey, marmite if you were lucky! Cooked breakfast, only if ordered the previous day. Why not leave a jug of milk on the table, so we can help ourselves, and also any sauces or condiments, the staff seem to put these on very sparingly. I don't want another wonky carrot or shrivelled up pea ever again. Same sandwiches for 2 weeks, with inedible crisps, covered in cling film - made earlier - soggy. Soups, whilst homemade, were tasteless, red pepper soup, not many peoples choice. A good dietitian is required for elderly folk, who need nourishment in their food. Many plates returned untouched. Not alone in these comments. No dessert one night, they ran out of chocolate sauce. Poor catering. This was an expensive experience for me.

A fine establishment with very high standards of facilities and care and lovely staff doing their best to ensure all residents are as comfortable and well looked after as possible. If I have one suggestion it's that there might be a book or video available on the TV setting out details of services available and the various routines involved as they affect residents.

My mother recently had 2 weeks respite care at Leighton Rose. She was very happy there and made to feel very welcome by all staff. They also made me feel very reassured about her care and welfare. She was able to join with many activities on offer and really enjoyed the interaction with other residents and staff. A truly lovely setting and facilities. There is so much attention and detail to the needs of each individual which is so reassuring to the family at a time of need. My thanks to all concerned.

It's a great place for Dad to be.

Leighton Rose was very efficient when assisting our family with our need for urgent care for our father. The staff responded with compassion and empathy at a tricky time for us. The care provided was very good . Staff were attentive and professional. The home clean , modern with excellent facilities. Dad settled well and even began to join in the activities provided!!

My sister recently went into Leighton Rose Care Home on palliative care. From the moment we went to visit for the first time, I knew it was where I wanted her to spend her final weeks. We were met by kind, smiling people and given a wonderful tour of a truly impressive home. Her room was luxurious and she was made very comfortable. All the staff went out of their way to make sure she was well looked after and although she could not join the many activities organised, they were happy to bring, what was possible, to her bedside. The food looked, and smelled lovely. If she did not feel able to eat what was on the menu, they happily provided her with something else. She was made to feel part of the Leighton Rose community and everyone from housekeeping, to management, would take the time, whenever possible, to visit for a quick chat. It meant the world to her. The staff who were on duty on her last day were exceptional and we will be forever grateful.
