About Evington Grange
We are a residential care home in Leicester, providing a home for older people and younger adults who need support with daily living. The people who live here include those with mental health conditions and people whose difficulties have involved alcohol or drugs. What we try to offer is steadiness. Familiar staff, a predictable shape to the week, meals at reliable times and a house where somebody can be left in peace when that is what they need. Residents keep their own rooms, belongings and routines so far as we can manage, and they decide how much they want to be involved in whatever is going on. We take people as they are. Several of those living here have had a difficult road and have met a good deal of judgement along the way, and they will not meet it from us. What helps is staff who are steady, who do not moralise and who know a person well enough to see difficulty coming rather than only reacting once it has arrived. That depends on our team staying long enough to know people properly, so we put effort into keeping it settled. Respite stays are available as well as permanent places. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. If you are considering a place for yourself or someone in your family, please come and visit and ask us whatever you need to.
