About Northfield House Residential Home

Northfield House Residential Home is a care home in Leicester, providing residential care for older people, including people living with dementia. We also welcome guests for respite stays. We run the home the way a household runs. Residents get up when they wake, sit where they choose, eat what they enjoy and keep the habits of a lifetime. Help with washing, dressing, medication and getting about is given when it is needed, discreetly and without taking over. Dementia care here depends on knowledge and patience rather than on any special technique. Our team learns each resident's history, their family and their working life, and uses that every day. When somebody is anxious or unsettled there is usually a reason behind it, and looking for the reason is more useful than trying to smooth it over. Relatives are part of the home. They visit when it suits them, and we keep in contact about health and mood rather than only ringing when something has gone wrong. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are looking at residential care in Leicester for yourself or for someone in your family, please arrange to come in, meet the team and see the place on an ordinary afternoon.
