About Quorn Orchards Care Home

Quorn Orchards Care Home is in Loughborough, providing residential care for older people who can no longer manage safely at home. We try to keep the atmosphere of a house rather than a unit, with people keeping their own habits and belongings and having a real say in how their day is spent. Our approach is straightforward. Some people here are up early and busy, others prefer a slow start and a quiet sitting room, and both are perfectly reasonable. Meals matter a great deal, and so does the ordinary company of the house, so we put genuine effort into both. Respite stays are available too, whether somebody needs care for a short period after illness or a family carer needs a break. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission was requires improvement. We would rather say that plainly than talk around it. We have taken the findings seriously and our focus has been on the things that shape daily life here rather than on paperwork alone. If you are considering Quorn Orchards, please come and visit, talk to the staff and ask us directly what we have changed and how we know it is working. Those are fair questions and we will answer them honestly.
