About Primrose Lodge

Primrose Lodge is a residential care home in East Goscote, Leicestershire, providing a settled home for older people who need support with daily living. We care for residents living with dementia and people with a physical disability, and we offer respite stays for those who need care for a shorter period. We aim for ordinary life, well supported. Residents choose when to get up, how to spend their time and what they want to eat. Meals are cooked on the premises and preferences are remembered. There is company and activity for those who enjoy it and no pressure at all on those who prefer their own company. Dementia support runs through everything we do rather than sitting to one side of it. We ask families to tell us about a person's life, their work, their music, their habits and their dislikes, because that knowledge is what allows staff to offer comfort that genuinely comforts. Calm surroundings, familiar faces and an unhurried pace achieve far more than any rigid approach. We work closely with local GPs and community nurses so that changes in health are picked up early, and we keep families properly in the picture rather than ringing only when something has gone wrong. Relatives are welcome whenever it suits them. The Care Quality Commission most recently rated us good overall. If you are thinking about a move for yourself or a family member, please come and see us.
