About Laurel Grove
We at Laurel Grove offer residential care in the welcoming town of Chesterfield, providing a comfortable home for older people and younger adults across Derbyshire and the wider East Midlands. Our setting has been thoughtfully arranged to feel less like an institution and more like a place where daily life can continue with warmth, dignity, and gentle support. Nestled within the S postcode area of Chesterfield, our home benefits from the friendly community feel that this Derbyshire town is known for. Residents and their loved ones enjoy the reassurance of being close to local amenities, whilst also having a calm and settled environment to return to. We aim to create spaces that feel familiar and comforting, where residents can relax in shared lounges, spend quiet time in their own rooms, or enjoy the company of others during mealtimes and activities. Our care at Laurel Grove is shaped around the individual. We support older people who need help with the everyday tasks that have become more difficult over time, offering residential care that focuses on personal wellbeing, companionship, and independence wherever possible. For adults living with a learning disability or autism, we take time to understand each person's routines, preferences, and communication style, so that support feels respectful rather than intrusive. We also welcome younger adults whose needs may not be met in more traditional settings, and we recognise that every resident brings their own history, personality, and hopes for the future. Respite care is another important part of what we offer. We understand that family carers sometimes need a short break, whether that is to recover their own strength, attend to other commitments, or simply rest. Our respite stays give families peace of mind, knowing that their loved one is being looked after in a safe and caring environment, with the same attention to detail as our permanent residents receive. In terms of quality, our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection resulted in an overall rating of Requires Improvement, dated October 2018. We are proud that inspectors recognised the strength of our team in the areas that matter most to daily life, awarding us Good ratings for being Caring and Responsive. This reflects the kindness of our staff and their commitment to listening to residents and adapting care to meet changing needs. At the same time, we acknowledge that the domains of Safe, Effective, and Well-led were rated as Requires Improvement, and we take this feedback seriously. It has given us a clear focus for continued development, and we remain committed to strengthening every aspect of the home so that families can feel fully confident in the care we provide. Choosing a care home is one of the most significant decisions a family can make, and we know it is rarely an easy one. At Laurel Grove, we understand the mixture of emotions involved, from worry and guilt to hope and relief. Our door is open to families who would like to learn more about us, meet the people who live and work here, and get a genuine sense of whether our home might be the right fit for their loved one. We warmly invite you to get in touch, ask questions, and take the time you need to make the choice that feels right for your family.
