About April Cottage Retirement Home

April Cottage Retirement Home is in Coalville, Leicestershire, and we care for older people, with respite stays available as well as permanent places. We do not provide nursing on site, so we work closely with general practitioners, district nurses and other community professionals, and we are straight with families about what we can and cannot manage here rather than discovering it later. What we do provide is daily life supported well, and the things that matter most are unremarkable ones that take real discipline to keep up. Help with washing and dressing given without rushing and in a way that leaves dignity intact. Medication managed reliably. Food that people genuinely look forward to, with company at the table. Staff who have been here long enough to notice when a resident is not quite themselves. Residents keep their own routines where they want to, bring their own things and are asked about how the home runs rather than told, which counts for a good deal when so much else has already been decided for them. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
