Overview

Alston House is a welcoming care home nestled in the heart of Leicester, providing a warm and supportive environment for adults of all ages. With 17 comfortable bedrooms and plans to expand to 20, our home is just the right size to offer personalised care while maintaining a close-knit community feel. We specialise in supporting people with dementia, learning disabilities, mental health conditions, and physical or sensory impairments, ensuring each person receives the care and attention they deserve.

At Alston House, we believe that care goes beyond meeting physical needs; it is about building real connections and creating moments of joy every single day. Our dedicated Activity Coordinator brings life and energy to our home, crafting a calendar of events that reflects the interests and passions of our residents. From the comforting presence of animal therapy, where friendly dogs, playful sheep, and even goats visit regularly, to vibrant discos with DJs and live singers, there is always something to look forward to.

We are passionate about the power of nature and community. Our residents enjoy trips to local garden centres where they can pick flowers, enjoy afternoon tea, and take part in our ongoing garden projects. With support from our team, they plant flowers, craft beautiful pots, and take pride in watching the garden bloom. Our shared minibus makes regular outings possible, keeping residents connected to the community and the places they love.

We provide a range of tailored services, including long-term residential care, respite stays, discharge to assess, and intermediate care. Our approach is centred on promoting independence, encouraging friendships, and making sure every day is meaningful and engaging.

Our recent Good rating from the Care Quality Commission (CQC) is a reflection of our commitment to high standards and continuous improvement. Families can feel confident that their loved ones are in caring hands, supported in an environment that truly feels like home.

At Alston House, every day is an opportunity to live well, surrounded by genuine care, meaningful connections, and the simple joys of life.
