About Aylesham Court Care Home

Here at Aylesham Court Care Home, we are proud to be a nursing home based in the heart of Leicester, Leicestershire, caring for people who deserve thoughtful, skilled and genuinely attentive support. We support a wide range of individuals, including older people, those living with physical disabilities, and younger adults who require nursing level care. We also offer respite care for those who need a shorter stay, whether to recover after a hospital admission or to give a family carer some time to rest. Whatever brings someone to us, we aim to make them feel at home from the moment they arrive. Our team brings together qualified nurses and care staff who know the people they care for as individuals, not as a list of needs. We take time to understand what matters to each person, how they like their day to go, what makes them comfortable, and what brings them joy. That knowledge shapes everything we do. We are extremely proud that our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission resulted in an Outstanding overall rating. That recognition means a great deal to us, though what matters most is the feedback we receive day to day from residents and their families. Knowing that people feel safe, respected and well cared for is what keeps us focused. Leicester is a vibrant and wonderfully diverse city, and that is reflected in the community we serve. We welcome people from all backgrounds and make every effort to ensure our care is culturally sensitive and inclusive. If you are considering Aylesham Court for yourself or someone close to you, we would warmly encourage you to get in touch or come and visit us. We are always happy to show people around and answer any questions you might have.
