About Scalford Court Care Home

Scalford Court Care Home is a residential home in Melton Mowbray. We support older people, including those living with dementia, and people with physical disabilities, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places. We should be plain at the outset. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We know what the inspectors found, we have an improvement plan and we are working through it with our staff team and with families, reporting progress to the inspectors and to the local authority. If you are considering a place here, please ask us exactly what is changing, how quickly and how we are checking that it lasts. We will give you a straight answer. What we are working to protect meanwhile is a home where people are known properly. Rooms that belong to the person in them. Staff who notice when somebody is not themselves. A day that is not run by a timetable. Visitors welcome without fuss. For people living with dementia we focus on familiarity and time, keeping the same staff involved wherever we can and learning about a person's life from their family so that we can reassure rather than correct. Where physical disabilities are involved we make sure the equipment and practical help are right. Please come and look round, talk to our staff and put the difficult questions to us.
