Our friend spent 2 years at Homewood, where she was safe, free from anxiety and very well looked after by dedicated staff members. The range of activities was wide and varied. She needed much persuasion to move to Homewood from her flat, where she was simply not able to cope. We were so relieved when
she moved, and we are very grateful to the staff.

Mum has been at Homewood for around 15 months now and I cannot fault anything. The manager and all staff are very caring, friendly and kind.
Mum has been able to furnish her room with items from home and bring in her precious personal possessions. The nurse carers have all medications sorted and I
don't have to worry about doctor appointments or prescriptions anymore. From the maintenance man to the cooks and cleaners, everyone is friendly and open to help. A particular member of staff sorts all the activities out and site visits which include a wide range of animals visiting as well as all sorts of games, chair fit, pottery etc. A visiting hairdresser helps keep mum and her friends looking smart. And the weekly church services offer comfort to many. I commend all the staff for their patience, assistance and the time they spend looking after our loved ones. Thank you.

Mum was very lonely and very frail in her own flat and her mobility was very poor. Since moving into Homewood, her mobilities have increased remarkably. I can't believe the change in Mum's mood and general wellbeing. She's mixing with people and enjoying activities. I can't thank Homewood and all the
staff for everything they've done and continue to do. You are all marvellous. Thank you. I would just like to add, it would be better if more diabetic foods were available, i.e. desserts.

Mum moved into Homewood last October following a fall at home. From the start Mum's care was exceptional, the staff are kind, patient, and professional, and clearly well supported by the manager and his team.
The activities provided are many and varied and Mum's needs and wishes are listened to thanks
to the excellent activity co-ordinator.
The home is always kept spotlessly clean, the laundry and maintenance service are very good and the food looks tasty and well-presented. Would recommend Homewood to anyone.

I had been ill in hospital for some time. I live alone in Hampshire, and my only daughter lives in Warwickshire who found Homewood for me. I moved here on 13th January 2023. I have never been so happy. The staff are so kind. The home is very clean, the food is very good indeed. All in all, I am pleased
I came to Homewood long may I stay.

My visit began with a catch-up chat with the manager about how Mum is generally doing and whether there are any changes or concerns we need to be aware of. The manager is always very approachable and responsive if we have questions or want to discuss anything.
I joined Mum in the dining room for lunch.
One of the care team was really helpful, supporting Mum to walk as far as she could and then getting a wheelchair for the rest of the way. It was lovely to hear Mum say grace at the start of the meal for everyone.
The care team member then accompanied us back to Mum's room and supported Mum back into her armchair in the way she needed letting her do as much as she could herself. Overall it was an enjoyable visit.

My mother has lived at Homewood for a number of years now and it has felt like “home” for her.
Staff are friendly, caring, and work hard to ensure that the residents feel valued and their needs are met.
Daily activities are varied and interesting and welcoming communal areas are available with each
floor operating as separate areas which encourage interaction and friendships. Residents also have the opportunity to mix with others living on different floors.
Rooms are ensuite, spacious, and Mum was able to bring items of furniture to personalise it.
Mum’s health has deteriorated over the years but the care has not. She is well looked after; communication with me is good so I know how things are going.
I would have no hesitation in recommending MHA Homewood.

My mum stayed permanently after respite. MHA was chosen as it was smaller, did not take dementia residents (my mum had been the main carer for my dad who had had dementia), had Christian values, and was in Leamington.
Mum was on the whole happy and well cared for. The home was clean, well decorated,
and Mum felt part of a community. It was rare that there wasn’t something that the chef would not make to encourage eating.
The opportunity to send Mum a weekly electronic newsletter was very well received.
The staff were great, but I felt stretched particularly when resident's health status changed. I know that recruitment is difficult but an additional person who could be there pastorally, make drinks, and help residents would have taken some pressure off. I was surprised that there were times when there was no manager or deputy manager in the home. I think that having a senior staff member around at weekends would be a huge benefit to the staff, residents, and families.

I am most impressed with Homewood having been into many homes and has got a lovely feeling of togetherness and caring on a variety of activities. The residents are encouraged to meet up together and the activities are varied and interesting.
I think the daily is an amazing idea. Also to have the opportunity
have nails and hair done is a really important bit of care.

Homewood is a fantastic place to be. Staff are so kind,caring and affectionate. Food is excellent and plenty to choose from. My room is cleaned most days and laundry returned same day. Senior staff have an excellent knowledge of illnesses and help me manage my health conditions very very well. I would
definitely recommend this home.

This nursing home provided great quality care throughout late 2019 to late 2022 for my mother during the Covid pandemic. She was nursed and looked after well despite the most challenging of times. I am very grateful to the staff for their amazing care.

I came into the home four months ago. The carers have all been very kind and caring. My room is pleasant and comfortable and the home is kept clean with daily cleaning.
The food is variable and I feel we could do with more fresh vegetables. Otherwise, I feel comfortable and well settled. We now have
a new chaplain who is beginning to give the home a very Christian atmosphere.
I should be happy to recommend the home to friends or family.

My review is of necessity incomplete - I made only 3 short visits in a 3 week period. I found the staff helpful and diligent. The accommodation was clean and well adapted to those with limited mobility. Since I was at no time resident, the majority of 'star ratings' below have been marked 'satisfactory'
in order to get this poorly designed web page to close.

All care homes would say that in current times particularly with Covid lockdowns, resources are under stress. Nevertheless, I can report that Homewood, Leamington by and large came through these trying times with flying colours. One had the sense that at all levels of management and staff people had
genuine concern and support for my mother. If we had any issues they were normally resolved pretty quickly. I would go further to say that I would regard their employees as friends. My mother was generally appreciative too despite the fact that she could be a little difficult at the end. The staff were still understanding and supportive. The whole process has given me a better understanding of the care sector and the fine efforts made by people within it, who are often under real pressure.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.818)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.818) out of 10 for Homewood is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.818 for Homewood is calculated as follows: ( (159 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.818

  • 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 Homewood is based on 16 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 16 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.
