About Curtis Weston House
Curtis Weston House is a residential care home in Wigston, Leicestershire. We support older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia or with mental ill health, people with a learning disability, people who are autistic, people with a physical disability and people with a visual or hearing impairment. We also offer respite stays. We want to be honest about our regulatory position. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We have accepted the findings rather than argued with them, we are working through an improvement plan, and we have made changes to training, supervision and the way we record and review the care we give. The daily work of the home goes on meanwhile. Support is planned individually, because the people who live here have very different needs. Residents keep their own routines, choose how they spend the day and what they eat, and are helped with washing, dressing, medication and mobility in the way that suits them. Families are welcome here and we keep in touch with them honestly, including when our news is not what anybody hoped to hear. If you are considering Curtis Weston House, please come and look round, ask us the difficult questions and judge us on what you find here rather than on what we write about ourselves.
