The home provided a lovely Christmas party for the residents: a really good plate of party food, a great singer and the residents were able to sing along to a few songs, thoughtful chocolate treats from dressed-up Santa.
Working long hours on Christmas day; staff came in early to get everyone washed
and ready for the day and visitors.
Made arrangements for everyone to sit together in the dining room. Provided a lovely little mini buffet in the evening.
Thanks so much for the thoughtful pressie for each resident from dressed up Santa.
Visited by friends; the staff brought small plates and took extra care when bringing tea for everyone, by using herbal tea (one had a medical condition) and by bringing honey and extra water along. So thoughtful.
Thanks for all the wonderful help and care we continue to receive.

My husband has only been here for two months but I am very impressed with the care and kindness shown to him. The staff in the lounge are very committed to making all the residents, doing as much as they can and getting enjoyment. I also like that he is never left out, although he can't join in.

I look forward to my weekly visits to see my very dear friend. She is always comfortable and happy, so clean and tidy.
She loves to talk on most occasions but everyone ensures that she is hydrated and all her needs are catered for.
I am always made to feel welcome, would highly recommend the care
home.

All the staff are extremely attentive to my mum's (and everyone else's) needs. There are a myriad of activities in the afternoons keeping the residents occupied and active. Still impressed by the variety of equipment required to cater for various residents' needs. And the food still gets highly rated
by my mum! Overall, very good.

I cannot recommend the Royal Leamington Spa Nursing Home highly enough. The quality of care that they provide and the professionalism, compassion and kindness of all the staff and management are extraordinary. They treat everyone with respect and as human beings - and this includes visitors as well
as residents and each other. My mother has now been with them for ten months and throughout her stay, she has consistently received the best possible care in every respect. When she first arrived at the home, following a major stroke, the hospital did not hold out much hope for any improvement to her condition. Despite their pessimism, however, the nursing care that she has received at the home has been so good that she is making a remarkable recovery. There is a lovely, friendly, calm and happy atmosphere throughout the home and I am sure that this has also helped her recovery. She also speaks very highly of the staff and the care that she receives and also of the food provided.

The Royal Leamington Spa Nursing Home is friendly and welcoming. The carers and nurses treat the residents with dignity and respect, nothing is too much trouble. Some carers have been working at the home for a number of years and new carers that joined have been very good and kind. The home is well-managed
and thought is put into how to make the experience better for residents. A lot of effort is made to make sure residents have a happy birthday by the activities team who also ensure any special occasion is celebrated as well as organising daily activities. There is an arrangement with the library to lend books to residents on subjects they enjoy. The home is clean, fresh and tidy and the food is very good. The home is in a perfect location to visit parks and gardens with a wheelchair. I would definitely recommend this nursing home.

My partner has been bedbound for some months. During this time, she has been given kind and caring attention by staff. Recently, she has been able to be put into a wheelchair and taken for local walks. Staff have treated her sensitively and gently when putting her in the chair and later returning her
to bed.

After a spell in hospital, my husband was discharged into the safe hands of this lovely nursing home. The warmth of their smiling welcome extends to residents, families and visitors alike. You are instantly absorbed into the friendly family atmosphere.
My husband has nothing but praise for the excellent
plentiful food and there is tea and coffee on tap for all. His care and safety have never been in doubt. Our thanks and appreciation go to every member of staff for ensuring his stay has been as comfortable as possible.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.912)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.912) out of 10 for Royal Leamington Spa Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.912 for Royal Leamington Spa Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (218 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 239 Ratings = 4.912

  • 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 Royal Leamington Spa Nursing Home is based on 20 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 43 registered maximum number of service users is 8.6, which has been reached with 20 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.

Job Title: Head Care Supervisor

Joined: 2018

Hi, my name is Brankica,


I’m the Head Care Supervisor at The Royal Leamington Spa Nursing Home. I have been working at the Royal Leamington Spa Nursing Home since 2018, after coming to England from Macedonia where I was working as a nurse in the private polyclinic. I love to care, full of compassion, strength, passion, positivity and courageousness in all my work. I also love to help people and my staff at all times. For example, on my days off I am always available to be contacted and I support our carer staff. I have gained different experiences at The Royal Leamington Spa Nursing Home in all areas of care. For example, I don't only deliver exceptional care to residents, but I also assist in the training and induction of new staff, so that they can achieve the high care standards required when working for the home.


I have gained the following qualifications since I started work at the Home. These qualifications have helped me to execute my role excellently. These are the Level 4 Advanced People Handling and Risk Assessment Key Trainer’s Certificate; Certificate in Conflict Management (CPD Online College); Certificate in Team Leading Level 2 (CPD Online College); and Certificate in Tracheostomy Care Awareness.


I am always trying to do better and level up in providing care for our residents. I am also one of the Homes Infection Control Champions. Some of my daily work involves verbal or written supervision with carer staff, support, updating, teaching, training, and advice on residents' activities of daily living. My goal is to see content, positive and happy staff, residents families and residents. I believe if all staff are happy, content and proud, our residents will be more happy and content as well including their families. I am happy to see our staff, residents and family happy.


My Motto is: - "SMILE ON THE DAY, AND IT WILL SMILE BACK TO YOU".

Eileen Kennedy

Job Title: Activities Coordinator Supervisor

Joined: 2022

I am the activities coordinator supervisor at the Royal. I have worked here for the last 3 years and enjoy my role within the home.


I am originally from Lancashire and moved to Leamington Spa 10 years ago with my husband and 4 children the youngest is now 16. I have 2 adult stepdaughters who still live in Lancashire.


My working life has varied from working in Quality Control and as a Master Recorder of CDs and 12" Video Discs to dealing with our emergency services through my role in monitoring alarms for a security company. I had short spells of working in Holland and also studying in Greece towards my degree. However, my most rewarding role was being a full-time mother which I was very fortunate to be able to do.


It is the experience through 40-plus years of my working life that I bring to my current role, in particular, my confidence in communicating with people of all backgrounds. I have also successfully completed a number of relevant courses to further enhance my knowledge and skills.


I always strive to treat each resident with respect and as an individual and warmly welcome them into our family here at the Royal. I feel privileged to be able to spend time with each person and am always fascinated by the life stories they have to tell, whether vocally, through photos or via their loved ones.

Jackie Kennedy

Job Title: Deputy Care Home Manager

Joined: 2014

Hello, my name is Jackie and I am Deputy Manager/ Clinical Lead at The Royal Leamington Spa Nursing Home. I will have worked here for 10 years come Easter 2025.


I have a very diverse history in Nursing. I started as a carer before my nurse training and passed my exams in 1991.


During my career, I have worked in Acute Psychiatry, drugs and alcohol services, rehabilitation services, and Secure units and have also trained as a Prison Officer. I specialised in conflict resolution and was known as a ‘troubleshooter’ in my field.


I have worked all over the UK, from North to South and also in Germany and Belgium.


I originally hail from Lancashire and have the typical Lancastrian ways. I say things as they are and like to think I am honest and open. I also have the Lancashire sense of humour and believe a stranger is a friend I haven’t yet met.


I have an NVQ 4 and 5 in management and when I started working at ‘The Royal’ it was as a staff nurse. I had decided to come away from management and do what I do best, Nurse. However, here I am in another management role, seems I am destined to remain this way.


I never intended to remain at ‘The Royal’. I thought a year, 2 years at most, but I fell in love with the place, with the staff, the culture and of course the wonderful residents I have had the honour to care for over the last 10 years.


My skills, to name but a few, are Medication Management and Traner, PEG/RIG care and management, Tracheotomy care and management, Catheter care and management including male, female and suprapubic, Palliative care including Syringe Drivers and Verification of death, and Dementia care.
I enjoy photography, wildlife and bird photography though since acquiring my Shih Tzu boy this has not been possible as he scares the wildlife away. I speak Dutch, adequately though not fluently from my time working in Belgium.
