About The Willows Residential Home
The Willows Residential Home is in Hinckley. We care for older people who need support with daily living, including those living with dementia and those whose physical disability means they need help to move about safely. We also support some younger adults. What we provide is help with the everyday: assistance to wash and dress, medication given properly and on time, meals cooked here, support to move about safely and staff available through the night. Around that, residents arrange their own days, and we try not to organise people's lives for them. Dementia care here rests on familiarity. Keeping staff, routines and surroundings consistent takes a good deal of anxiety out of the day, so we plan rotas with that in mind and we ask families for the history that helps us make sense of somebody when words are hard to find. Where people need help to move, we take the time doing it safely and comfortably requires. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Families across Leicestershire are welcome to visit.
