I was a bit apprehensive coming to a care home for rehabilitation, especially after being so poorly at the previous hospital. I have to say the care, respect, dignity and overall rehabilitation far exceeded what I was expecting. From day one, the welcome and kind treatment was fantastic. It really is
a wonderful place and the staff far exceeded my expectations. I could not have recovered so well without their help and kindness. All treated me so kindly and really helped my recovery. Can not speak highly enough of the carers and my experience and the quality of care.

My mum received excellent intermediate care following her discharge from hospital.
The physio care really bought her on to a level whereby she could return home and be able to walk around her home at a level prior to her hospitalisation.
The nursing care helped her through the difficult time away
from family with waves through the window. We are very grateful to all.

Very good, experienced carers.
Good food for such an establishment.
Rooms are a little small.
Ensuite, no shower.
No toiletries provided.
Furniture, whilst still functional, needs care and attention.

I thought that being new to this experience, I might find it difficult. In practice, the opposite was the case. Without exception, the staff were helpful and considerate; they have been friendly and supportive, and they work incredibly hard. I shall miss them all and remember them fondly.

My father attended the care home after having a stroke, the staff in Leighton Court were excellent and friendly during these hard times during COVID.
I would certainly recommend this care home. The care the staff gave my father and also my mother when she visited was excellent.

I came to Leighton Court for rehabilitation directly from hospital organised by the NHS. The care I received from the staff was excellent, nothing was too much trouble for them and I thank them most sincerely. Nothing to do with the care was the problem. I was given to understand y the hospital that
I would receive physiotherapy to get me walking again. All I received was instructions in transferring.

When I came into the care home Iw as very ill and could not walk without pain. I also felt very depressed, but the welcome from all the staff was wonderful. I felt a lot better. With the medical and physio treatment, I feel much better. I am very grateful for the care home and all the staff.

There are not enough words to describe my experience here at Leighton Court. From the very first day to the last, extremely wonderful. I entered here barely walking and now I am walking out straight as a die. Everybody connected to Leighton Court should be extremely proud, as proud as me leaving here
today. My family sends all their thanks and love.

I arrived traumatised and confused. I have been here a month unfortunately during the Covid-19 restrictions, confined mostly to my room and yet despite that I am sad to be leaving the staff who in their entirety have kept me going with their friendliness and caring. Cares, domestic team, physios have
been amazing and supportive.

I had already heard good reviews about Leighton Court so when my mum was transferred there from hospital on respite I was pleased. The nursing staff have been amazing in the care they have given, one in particular, who has taken such good care of my mum, she has fed back to me with any concerns, arranged
doctors appointments and other health care professionals, nothing has been too much trouble, she has taken the time to talk to me when I've been upset and worried. I am so grateful to her and the team at Leighton Court.

My mum was in respite here from December to February. We were quite concerned that Mum was not with us, but we need not have worried as she was well looked after. All the staff were a delight and Mum felt safe during her stay there, which was a huge relief to us. The physio team were great and deserve
special mention. The social worker was helpful in providing a list for after care. Leighton Court should be very proud of all their team as they are a credit to them. Wishing you all the best for the future with gratitude and appreciation.

I was admitted to the rehab-unit from hospital. In the time I have been here I have made excellent progress entirely due to the outstanding staff, care, good food and encouragement to become mobile again. I have no hesitation in praising all the staff and departments.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.804)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.804) out of 10 for Leighton Court 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 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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 4.804 for Leighton Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (356 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 393 Ratings = 4.804

  • 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 Leighton Court Care Home is based on 32 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 32 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.
