About Welland Place
Here at Welland Place, we provide home care across Market Harborough and the surrounding areas of Leicestershire, supporting people to live well in the comfort of their own homes. We believe that staying at home, surrounded by familiar things and familiar faces, makes a real difference to how people feel day to day. We work with a wide range of individuals, including older people, younger adults, and those living with dementia, mental health conditions, physical disabilities, and visual or hearing impairments. Every person we support has their own story, their own routines, and their own preferences, and we take the time to understand all of that before we ever begin. Care is planned around the individual, not the other way around. Our team is made up of people who genuinely care about the work they do. They are trained, supported, and supervised so that the care provided in your home meets a consistently high standard. We are proud that our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission resulted in an overall rating of Good, which we feel reflects the thoughtful, attentive approach our staff bring to every visit. We know that inviting someone into your home, or into the home of a loved one, requires a great deal of trust. We do not take that lightly. From the first conversation you have with us, we aim to be straightforward, honest, and easy to talk to. If something is not working, we want to hear about it. If your needs change over time, we will change with you. Whether you are looking for a few hours of support each week or more regular daily visits, we would be happy to have a conversation about how we might be able to help. Please do get in touch with us here in Market Harborough.

More about the care at Welland Place
Dementia Care at Welland Place
Good dementia care at home leans heavily on familiar routines, a calm and uncluttered environment, and carers who recognise the small signs that something is wrong before distress escalates. Welland Place is registered to support people living with dementia in their own homes around Market Harborough, which can help someone stay among the belongings and neighbours they know. Because the agency has not claimed its profile, families should ask directly how carers are trained in dementia, how they respond to agitation, repeated questions or attempts to leave the house, and how they communicate with relatives when they notice a change. It is also worth asking how the care plan is updated as the condition progresses, and whether the same carers can be kept as consistent as possible so trust is not rebuilt at every visit.
Home Care at Welland Place
Home care can mean a single half hour call in the morning to help someone start the day, or several longer visits covering personal care, meals, medication and companionship. Welland Place in Market Harborough is registered with the CQC to deliver this kind of visiting support across the surrounding parts of Leicestershire, and its most recent inspection in February 2019 resulted in an overall rating of Good. Hourly rates across the East Midlands generally fall between £26 and £31, and Leicestershire County Council may contribute where someone is assessed as eligible. Ask the agency for a written breakdown of its own rates, minimum visit length, weekend and bank holiday charges, and how care plans are reviewed if needs change. It is also sensible to ask how they match carers to clients.
Older Person Care at Welland Place
Day to day support for older people at home usually covers help with washing and dressing, prompting or administering medication at the right times, preparing light meals, and offering the kind of companionship that eases a long afternoon. Welland Place is registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide this kind of visiting support across Market Harborough and the surrounding Leicestershire villages. Typical home care rates across the East Midlands sit between £26 and £31 an hour, though the agency will quote its own figure. Families should ask how visits are scheduled around a person's existing routine, whether the same small team of carers attends each week, and what cover looks like if a regular carer is off sick. It is also worth asking whether overnight or waking night visits can be arranged, and how medication errors would be reported and reviewed.
Mental Health at Welland Place
Stability, predictable visit times and being spoken to with dignity matter enormously for adults living with a mental health condition, and a familiar carer arriving at a familiar hour can be part of what keeps someone well. Welland Place is registered with the CQC to provide home care in this category. Ask what experience carers have with specific conditions, how they liaise with GPs or community mental health teams, and what happens out of hours if someone is in crisis.
Visual and Hearing Impairment at Welland Place
Sensory loss changes what good home care looks like in small but important ways, from announcing yourself clearly on arrival to keeping objects in consistent places and making sure hearing aids are in and working. Welland Place is registered to support people with visual or hearing impairments. Ask how carers are briefed on a person's specific needs, whether they are used to communicating with someone who lip reads or signs, and how written information such as care notes is made accessible.
Younger Adults at Welland Place
Adults under 65 receiving support at home often want help that fits around work, study, family life or hobbies rather than a routine designed for later life. Welland Place is registered to work with younger adults across Market Harborough and the surrounding area. Ask how carers are matched by interest and communication style, how visits flex around a changing week, and how goals around independence, employment or social life are built into the plan.
Physical Disability at Welland Place
Support at home for a physical disability often blends personal care with practical help around transfers, mobility and daily tasks, with the aim of keeping the person in charge of their own day. Welland Place is registered to provide this kind of visiting care in Leicestershire. Ask whether carers are comfortable using hoists, slide sheets or other equipment already in the home, how moving and handling risks are assessed, and how they will work alongside occupational therapy recommendations.
