About Orchard Court
At Orchard Court, we provide residential care for a wide range of people from our home here in Leicester, Leicestershire. We support older adults, younger adults, and people living with learning disabilities or autism, physical disabilities, and visual or hearing impairments. We also offer respite care for those who need a short break or some additional support at certain points in their lives. We are proud that our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection rated us as good, and we work hard every day to maintain and build on that standard. That rating reflects the commitment of our team and the trust that residents and their families place in us, which we never take for granted. Our approach is straightforward. We get to know each person who comes to live with us or stays for respite, understanding what matters to them, how they like their days to go, and what support they actually need rather than assuming. Care is planned around the individual, and we review it regularly so that it moves with them as their needs or wishes change. We believe people should feel at home here, not just comfortable but genuinely settled and respected. Whether someone has lived with us for years or has just arrived, we want them to feel seen and heard. Families and friends are always welcome, and we encourage people to stay connected to their communities and the things they enjoy. Our team brings a real mix of experience and skills, and we invest in their ongoing training so that the care we provide reflects current best practice, particularly when supporting people with more specific or complex needs. If you would like to find out more about Orchard Court or come and have a look around, please do get in touch. We are always happy to talk.
