Staff take their role at Leominster very seriously to provide round the clock care to people over the age of 65. The home offers a warm welcome to anyone needing residential and nursing care, with a dedicated care team on hand to offer support for conditions such as Parkinson's.

Close to local amenities the home offers comfortable accommodation within pleasant surroundings. There are lots of places to socialise and relax around the home, including a large open lounge and two cosier spaces filled with comfy armchairs and tall windows.

All bedrooms are ensuite and have a 24-hour call system. The beautiful garden is a lovely spot for sitting and catching up with friends and family.

The home’s chef provides a balanced menu of nutritional food for residents to enjoy and extra dietary requirements are always met.

Residents benefit from regular activities and events organised by the home’s dedicated activities co-ordinator who will adapt sessions to accommodate resident’s mobility and ability.

The only reservation I have is communication between carers and management, as residents, we tend to use our carers as having the information on everything and sometimes they don't know the answer.

Reply from Alison Horridge, Customer Advisor on behalf of the team at Leominster Care Home

Thank you for your review. We will certainly pass your comments on to the manager. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to make your stay as pleasant as possible.

My mother has lived here for a little over three years now. The care given to her is of the highest quality. All of the staff really do care and always treat her with kindness and respect. The home goes the extra mile to try to provide interesting, varied and stimulating activities, even through what
has been an extremely difficult and challenging year for all care homes.

Reply from Alison Horridge, Customer Advisor on behalf of the team at Leominster Care Home

I have to admit you looked after my father and he had nothing but good things to say about his care, and all the staff I had any dealings with were 100% on the button. I would highly recommend you to anybody needing care. I cannot thank you enough for his care in his final months. True professionals
through and through.

I would rate this care home with a 5-star rating because the care and support to the residents and family are exceptional. All the staff treat the residents with respect, compassion and empathy. They always go the extra mile and treat the residents like their extended family. Nothing is too much trouble
for staff. Their duty of care is fantastic and I cannot praise them enough. My father is very well looked after and is safe and happy, which we are so thankful for.

The home is well run with happy and helpful staff. The service regarding general cleanliness and both general and personnel is very good. We are well catered for and the kitchen staff keep us well fed and are prepared to adjust the service if needs be. There is a variety of group activities if one wishes
to join in or a well-kept garden to enjoy when the weather permits and visitors (in the normal course) are always welcomed.

Could not wish for a better place for Dad. In these troubled times, it is reassuring to know he is receiving the best of care.
All the staff are excellent, most having been at the home for many years. Relatives have been regularly kept up to date with their loved ones via newsletters, video calling,
and in the last few days with strictly enforced accompanied, social-distanced, visits.
All credit to the manager and her team.

Over the last 2 or so months Mum's health has gone down a lot. The staff are trying everything they can to make her comfortable and as pain-free as possible. They constantly try to reassure her as she is rather distressed. The staff are also very kind to me. My brother and I are very pleased that Mum
is living here. I just worry her money will run out.

Thank you for you feedback. It is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one is cared for and looked after. If you have concerns in regards to finance you can always discuss it with the homes manager or financial administrator to see how we can help.

My mother was a resident at the Leominster Care Home from July - October 2019. During this time, all the staff were of the highest professional standards. They helped make Mum's last days as comfortable as possible, always acting with care and compassion. The home is a wonderful place - all the staff
from the manager down work as a family to care for their patients. I would not hesitate to recommend this home.

I came here to help my recovery from having a new hip joint after a very bad fall. I received a very warm welcome on arrival, offered food and drink which was much appreciated. The staff are kind and caring, nothing is too much effort. I have been supported and encouraged all the way. I would be happy
to recommend this place to anybody. Excellent food, well presented.

Both parents were cared for in this care home. My father was admitted first, deemed to be end of life. However, with the dedicated nursing care he received, he recovered sufficiently to live another 18 months. My mother was admitted following a fall in another home resulting in a fracture and hospital
stay. Sadly her mental health declined, but again, she received excellent patient nursing care. All staff, nursing, admin and care staff were friendly and professional. All led by a strong manager.

Reply from Greta Narbutaityte, Customer Adviser at Leominster Care Home

Thank you for taking for sharing your story. We are sorry to hear about the loss of your father. Hopefully, you can feel like both of your parents received the care and dignity they deserve while in our care.

This was my second visit this year, whilst it was only for respite during my daughter's holiday. I found the staff as careful of my well-being as ever. It was just like being on holiday, lovely room, nice meals and plenty of care and attention.

When my father was transferred to Leominster Bupa home, he looked on death's door. He was practically comatose. Unfortunately, my wife and I had booked a holiday of a lifetime to celebrate her retirement and fully expected him to have passed away before our return. We returned to find him 'perky' and
his old self. The fact he survived for another 18 months is a testament to the quality of his care.

Reply from Greta Narbutaityte, Customer Advisor at Leominster Care Home

Thank you for such a touching message. I have sent this through to the staff that looked after him and on behalf of the Leominster team we would like to thank you for trusting us with your parents care and if you need any further help please let us know.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.806)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.806) out of 10 for Leominster Care Home 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.806 for Leominster Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (214 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 258 Ratings = 4.806

  • 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 Leominster Care Home is based on 22 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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6, which has been reached with 22 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.
