About Leycester House Residential Care Home
Leycester House Residential Care Home is in Knutsford, looking after older adults and some younger adults who need help with daily living rather than nursing care. We offer permanent places and respite stays, and many of our residents live with dementia. A care home should feel like somewhere people live rather than somewhere they have been placed, and the difference shows up in ordinary details. Getting up at the hour that suits you. Your own furniture and pictures around you. Being asked what you would like rather than told what is happening. Carrying on with familiar habits for as long as health allows. Our dementia care rests on familiarity and patience. The same staff, a routine that holds its shape, surroundings that make sense, and time given rather than grudged when somebody needs longer to find their words. Where a resident becomes distressed we look for the cause, which is usually pain, confusion, boredom or fear, rather than managing the behaviour and moving on. Knutsford is a small town and we like our residents to remain part of it. Family and friends are welcome without an appointment, and we would much rather people felt able to drop in. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Good. Come and look round whenever it suits you, and ask the people who live here what they make of us.
