About St Georges
We are a residential care home in Leicester, providing a home for older people and younger adults who need help with daily life. We aim for the atmosphere of a household rather than an institution, with people keeping their own belongings, their own hours where they can, and as much say as possible over how the day goes. We help with personal care, mobility, meals and medication, and we look after people living with dementia. What we have found makes the real difference with dementia is not a particular programme but familiar staff, routines that stay steady and enough time that nothing has to be rushed. Mealtimes, conversation and a bit of fresh air matter as much to how someone feels as any part of a care plan. Respite stays are available as well, whether to give a family carer a proper rest after a long stretch at home or to let someone try the place for a short period first. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We think keeping it depends on hearing about small problems while they are still small, so we ask residents and relatives often and we act on what they tell us. Do come and see us if you are looking at homes in Leicester. Looking round and meeting people tells you more than anything on a page.
