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.
Reply from Kelly Cox, Customer Relationships Manager at Leighton Rose Care HomeThank you so much for your feedback, we really appreciate you taking the time to write a review, and we are so pleased that Mum has settled in so well.

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.

Review from R D (Husband of Resident) published on 28 October 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
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.
Reply from Navjot Hanspal, Executive asistant at Leighton Rose Care HomeThank you for sharing your thoughts on Leighton Rose. It's great to hear that the management team is so proactive and approachable, ensuring high visibility and addressing any concerns promptly. Your confidence in their care is truly valuable.

Review from Sue G (Niece of Resident) published on 7 October 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
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!
Reply from Charlotte Deans, Customer Relations Manager at Leighton Rose Care HomeThank you so much for taking the time to complete this review, we really appreciate your comments. Please be assured I will pass on your lovely comments on to the staff team.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.576)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.576) 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 45 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 44 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 4.576 for Leighton Rose Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (342 Excellents x 5) + (153 Goods x 4) + (26 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 526 Ratings = 4.576
  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 44 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 44 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.

Dionne Pearson

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.
