I would just like to let you know about a wonderful nursing home located in Epsom. As you hear so many bad stories with regard to these establishments, I thought you may like to hear an extremely positive one.

Two and a half years ago my mum suffered a major stoke and needed 24 hour care. Choosing a nursing home was a daunting task and I visited over 10 before making my final decision.

Words cannot express how grateful I am to all the wonderful staff at Leighton House Nursing Home, in Burgh Heath Road. Their outstanding care and dedication has been exemplary, treating not only my mum but each and every resident with the utmost respect and dignity at all times.

I visited my mum every day, but some residents have no family or friends and the staff care for them as if they were part of their own family.

Sadly my mum passed away peacefully in her sleep recently, but I know she was looked after lovingly until the very end. I thank them all.
