About Scraptoft Court Care Home
Scraptoft Court Care Home is a nursing home in Leicester. We care for older people whose health needs go beyond residential care, for younger adults living with conditions that require qualified nursing, for people with physical disabilities, and for people living with mental ill health alongside a physical condition. Respite stays are available as well. Registered nurses are on duty here at all hours, which is what makes that breadth workable. Medication is managed closely, wound care and conditions that fluctuate are handled on site, and a change in somebody's health is usually noticed early because the person noticing knows them. We work with GPs, district nurses, community mental health teams, therapists and hospital staff, and we keep asking when a resident needs something that is slow to arrive. Dementia care is a large part of our work, and we approach it as caring for a person with a history rather than managing a condition. Families hold most of that history and we ask for it early, because it is what allows us to understand distress somebody cannot put into words. For younger adults, we are conscious that nobody plans to live in a nursing home, so privacy, independence and keeping hold of friendships and interests get real attention here rather than a mention in passing. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Families are welcome whenever they want to come. Ring us if you would like to look round on an ordinary working day.
