Local knowledge across Leicester

Leicester is one of the largest cities in the East Midlands and one of the most diverse in the country, with a population approaching 370,000 spread across distinctive communities such as Belgrave, Clarendon Park, Knighton, Evington, Aylestone, Braunstone, Beaumont Leys and Highfields. Care needs vary just as much across the city, from the busy neighbourhoods around the Golden Mile and the Clock Tower in the LE1 city centre to the quieter suburbs in LE2 and out towards Oadby and Wigston, and we tailor support to the person and the place rather than offering a one size fits all service.

We regularly support people returning home after a stay at Leicester Royal Infirmary in the city centre, or at Glenfield Hospital and Leicester General Hospital, all part of University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust. The first weeks back at home matter, so we help with medication routines, mobility and rehabilitation support and stay in close contact with families and community teams, including those run by Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust.

Adult social care in the city is overseen by Leicester City Council. If you think a relative may qualify for help with funding, you can ask the council for a free care needs assessment, followed by a financial assessment. Many families we work with self-fund their care, and we are always happy to explain how the different routes work. You can read more on our paying for care guide.
