While on respite care I have spent the last 2 1/2 weeks in Leighton Rose where I have been made welcome by all the staff. The home is well designed and spacious. My room was large and comfortable with the wet room which is far easier to use than a shower. Food is OK but could be better. I would like
to thank all the staff for the care and attention I have had.

Since my time here I have been made welcome both by staff & residents. Food main criticism special diets are kidney dialysis & diabetes. Chef has been given lists food needs to be more attractive by sauces & condiments on the table appropriate to the meat, fish. Activities I have welcomed within my
abilities, others have refused to take part. Some staff are not easy to understand.

Reply from Kelly Cox, Customer Relationships Manager at Leighton Rose Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to write us a review, we are extremely grateful for the feedback, which allows us to continuously review and improve our service. We have already conducted meetings with residents and the chef, and changes have been implemented.

My grandmother initially went to Leighton Rose Care Home on respite but has since decided to remain permanently, as she has enjoyed her experience so much.
She raves about the food, the staff, the laundry service, the activities, and the proximity to town.
The staff are very responsive and professional.
It's brought our family such peace of mind knowing that she is safe but, most importantly, happy.

From the first moment we walked through the door we were made to feel welcome and confident that Leighton Rose was the right place for my husband.
He is bedridden and requires lots of nursing care. This is always given by lovely caring staff. The meals look amazing.
Thank you all for your care.

Leighton Rose is a recently opened care home. The management team is 'at pains' to ensure they have high 'visibility' and are always easily approachable to discuss any issues regarding the care provided. They excel at ensuring a high level of service and providing a welcoming and friendly atmosphere.
The 'first line' care staff in daily contact with the residents are always very kind, helpful, and very sympathetic to the needs of the residents. The attention to detail by the medical team regarding the 'admin' and dispensing of drugs cannot be faulted and one can be confident that this important feature of the care in under complete control.

Reply from Navjot Hanspal, Executive asistant at Leighton Rose Care Home

Having recently moved both my uncle and auntie into Leighton Rose I cannot stress enough how happy and content I am. Every need has been met by a team of experienced, talented and caring professionals.
The rooms are bright and spacious with an ensuite wetroom. All the hallways have furniture where
residents can take a rest whilst walking. The dementia unit has 'stops' along the hallway, allowing residents to stop, rummage and amuse themselves in each area.
Eating issues with my aunt have been dealt with sympathetically, discussing with her suitable ideas.
Visiting is at any time, making it very useful for family members to visit even during meal times.
Call in and have a coffee in the bistro, look at the bedrooms, lounges, cinema, salon, gym, craft room, library and not forgetting the local tavern, yes there really is a pub! The activities are building up as more residents move in.
Every member of the staff gives 100%!
Leighton Rose is not just a care home, it is a family!

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.180)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.180) out of 10 for Leighton Rose 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 7 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 4.817 for Leighton Rose Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (79 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 93 Ratings = 4.817

  • 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 4.363 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Leighton Rose Care Home is based on 7 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 = 3.7

    • 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 71 registered maximum number of service users is 14.2. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.2 = 0.493

  • 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.
