I have been volunteering at The Leys for the past two years, coming almost every week from March through September to help residents with gardening and creative activities. It has been an absolute pleasure to be part of such a welcoming and positive environment. The home is always clean, the staff
are genuinely caring, and the residents consistently look happy and engaged. The food is amazing and being so well looked after is honestly one of the reasons I always look forward to coming back. Seeing the joy and pride residents take in the garden and creative projects is incredibly rewarding. The Leys truly feels like a place where people are respected, supported, and valued-it is without hesitation somewhere I would feel completely confident placing my own family.

I have been volunteering at The Leys Care Home every two months over the past 12 months, helping to decorate the home for important dates and celebrations. These have included residents' birthdays, Valentine's Day, VE Day, Easter and Christmas.
Each visit is centred around involving the residents
as much as possible. I encourage them to be creative and take part in decorating in their own way, which is always a joy to see. Watching their confidence grow and seeing their happy faces when they realise what they've created is incredibly rewarding.
These activities bring colour, conversation and excitement into the home, and it's wonderful to see how much the residents enjoy marking special occasions together. It has been a privilege to be part of these moments and to help create a warm, festive environment that truly feels like home.

This is such a lovely welcoming care home, staff are really kind and will go out of their way to make sure the residents are receiving the best care. It is exceptionally clean and well run, and as relatives we are always kept informed. There is always activities and entertainment going on, which
makes it a very happy environment. The bedrooms are exceptional and really homely. The meals are home cooked and always a variety.
There is a lovely garden and conservatory which residents can sit outside in the summer months and often you will see deer or rabbits which is so nice to see, a real home from home.

When mom needed looking after because her dementia was making it unsafe to leave her unattended, I went straight to the Leys. I have known the place & the manager for many years, I was friends & hairdresser to a lady who lived there over 10 years ago. She loved it & was so content there, the staff
always looked after her so well.
When I went & saw the lead carers so see if they could take my mom, they were so helpful, & supportive, giving me advice on how to proceed.
Mom has been there over 12 months now, & from the first meeting with the staff, who she instantly took to, to her move into the lovely comfy room there, she's been happier, & more relaxed than I've seen her in years.
When I visit, I chat to every one of the residents who are not busy. They always love to chat about what's been going on. Excersise sessions, where the whole group are encouraged to join in, & usually end up in fits of giggles. Craft days making seasonal decorations, or works of art, to brighten the rooms.

My aunt who has dementia has been at The Leys since February 2020 & they provide an excellent service. All the staff are very caring & treat her with respect. She is very happy there & there are lots of activities provided. They will call me if she needs any toiletries/:pocket money or any health
concerns.

Since my Father moved in to the leys last year I have found All aspects to be positive
He has settled well and the staff are helpful and look after all residents well - they have really good rapport with all residents which is nice to see
There are a range of activities that take place which all
residents appear to enjoy

I would like to share my thoughts of The Leys Care Home and my experiences as the daughter of a current resident. I cannot believe how lucky we were to find The Leys Care Home. We were recommended by a family friend and thank goodness.
My experiences with all staff have been fabulous. They truly
are a caring group of people, headed up by Raj and Elaine who work tirelessly to make the residents lives comfortable in this small but oh so friendly home.
All of my interactions with the staff at The Leys have been positive and their kindness and commitment shine through. Mum is cared for in the best possible way.
The food is home cooked and if you visit just on a Sunday just before lunch, you will go home wishing you were able to book a table.
The home is clean and tidy and feels just like a home from home.
I love to see the postings on social media of all the residents enjoying the activities that are thoughtfully organised. The smiles on the residents faces, speak volumes. Thank you.

My Sister has been resident at the Leys for almost ten years and has not been the most easy of patients to deal with but the team led admirably by Jeanette and lately by Elaine, have risen to the challenge.
No situation is insurmountable and if they need my input they are quick to phone.
Irene is
not so active now and is almost bedbound but the staff have not given up on her and still find ways to involve her in the life of the home. Irene is happy at the Leys and any suggestion that she may have to move is met with great opprobrium. It would be very difficult to find a home of the same standard that is so welcoming in the Birmingham area.

My father has been in the Leys care since the sad passing of my mother in September 2024. The staff are caring, understanding and tuned in to the needs of my father I have always found them willing to discuss issues and find solutions to any issues my father has encountered. What I like about the
home is its friendliness of staff and residents as well as its feeling of homeliness. They have the welfare and wellbeing of the resident at its heart through its activities and its caring nature. I have not had any complaints from my father and he loves his cup of tea there which for a tea loving man is a bonus. I also like the fact if you wanted to go for a walk the grounds are more than sufficient for a walk in the summer all round the home is what my father would have expected from his own home but we his family have a knowledge he is safe and well looked after.

The Leys Care Home is exactly that, a Home that Really Cares.
All the staff are friendly and very welcoming. My Mum is so happy there. The care she receives is faultless. There are plenty of activities for the residents to take part in and entertainment that I know my Mum enjoys. I live in
Stockport and knowing my Mum is a resident in The Leys gives me real peace of mind. Thank you Raj and Team you are all wonderful!

Always a pleasure to visit the home.

I write this review as someone whose mother has been in The Leys for over 4 years. In all that time all I have ever witnessed is just pure love and support for all the residents and that is led by the Manager Elaine. The unwavering patience and kindness she has shown to my mother Hannah humbles me
to the core. She is a shining example of being totally selfless and putting other people first. Her team follow that example and are always ready to help Mom in any way they can. Mom has dementia and can be challenging at times but all they show her is kindness and are expert in dealing with her. On her good days she joins in the activities and on her bad days they let her rest and make sure she has everything she needs. She loves the food there and it always looks delicious and the residents are all chatting happily whilst having lunch or dinner. One thing that stands out for me to is all the entertainment and activities which are laid on also. You won't find a better home in the area

I volunteer at The Leys Residential Care Home every quarter and I recently volunteered as part of the Mears Foundation, promoting health and wellbeing by taking part in creative art for the residents.
The staff are always kind, welcoming, and pleasant, and it's clear how much they genuinely care
about the residents. Every visit is filled with smiles, laughter, and positive energy.
The residents are lovely and always happy to participate in activities, which makes the experience so rewarding. As a keen abstract artist; I'm so heartened by the art the residents create and it makes it rewarding to be there with them to create it.
If I had a family member who needed residential care, I would certainly feel confident bringing them here. It's a truly wonderful place, and it's a pleasure to spend time there and see the positive impact the team has every day.

From the moment I stepped into The Leys I knew it was the perfect home for my dad. The home is spotlessly clean. The staff are outstanding happy friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The care they have given my dad over the past 18 months is first class. They do lots of activities and have a
singer in regularly which the residents love.

My experience with The Leys goes back over many years. The respect and dedication shown to the residents and visitors is second to none. So homely & warm. Amazing interactions from staff during activities so rewarding. Overall I would not hesitate placing any loved one in the care of The Leys.
