The Leys welcomes older residents with physical and mental health needs but not requiring nursing care. At the heart of The Leys' person-centred approach is a simple philosophy endorsed by all of the staff: to provide care the way that they would wish for their own relatives.

The Leys aims to provide care in an environment that looks and feels like a home away from home. They believe this is why most of their residents come to them through the personal recommendations of people who know the home.

Detailed care plans are developed in a fully transparent manner and updated regularly to ensure that the best and most appropriate care is provided for each individual. They welcome the input of family and friends of individuals in their care and welcome visitors at any time.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

The Leys residential home is situated in the beautiful Warwickshire countryside, the staff are all so friendly and welcoming. Over the 8 years my mother has been there, they all feel like extended family. The homely atmosphere (and the lovely smell of home cooking) means the residents feel safe, secure,
but more importantly, looked after in a family environment, something which has been very beneficial for my mother.


There are frequent concerts, events etc, jigsaw puzzles and books are out and about (not put away in cupboards) and the garden is a wildlife haven, which residents can enjoy. The owner is hands-on, as are the manager and deputy. This is the kind of home our elderly should all have.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Mum recently died whilst a resident at The Leys and I have nothing but praise for the staff. Management often go above and beyond what would ordinarily be expected and give the impression that nothing is too much trouble. All the staff were very kind, caring, dedicated and upheld mum's dignity to the
end. For the last few weeks mum needed nursing care but the staff were able to maintain a level of care which surpassed an ordinary care home allowing her to end her days in a safe and caring place that had for just a short while become her home. The attitude of the staff gave me the reassurance and knowledge that I needed to understand that she was being looked after far better than I could have done, even if she had lived with me. I looked at approx eight homes in the local area and The Leys stood head and shoulders above the rest. Although this is not a purpose built unit, it has the feeling of a 'house and home' rather than a 'care home'. I had no worries in leaving mum in their hands.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.733)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.733) out of 10 for The Leys is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.733 for The Leys is calculated as follows: ( (94 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.733

  • 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 The Leys is based on 10 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 20 registered maximum number of service users is 4, which has been reached with 10 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.
