Our Team
Our senior carers, care assistants, activities coordinator, chefs and housekeepers work as one team, so residents see the same familiar faces every day. Staff are on duty 24 hours a day and the whole team is trained in dementia care. We work closely with local GP practices, district nurses and the community mental health team, and visiting chiropodists, hairdressers, dentists and opticians call regularly. As a family-run home we keep visiting flexible: family and friends are welcome at any time and are invited to join residents for meals and events.
What makes Kirby Grange different
- Countryside, minutes from the city. A quiet village setting with open views, five miles from Leicester and three from the M1 and M69.

- Family-run, not corporate. Part of Heartlands Care, a family-owned group running care homes since 1997.
- Care for couples in double rooms, even when their needs differ.
- Rated Good by the CQC in every area, and one of the highest-reviewed residential homes in the Leicester area.
Activities at Kirby Grange
Days at Kirby Grange are shaped around what residents enjoy including music, gentle exercise, gardening, baking, quizzes, crafts, trips out into the Leicestershire countryside and visits from local schools, churches and entertainers. Our activities coordinator plans a programme for every ability, including sensory and one-to-one sessions for residents living with dementia. Meals are cooked fresh on site and residents help shape the menus.
Flexible care that adapts with you
No two residents arrive at Kirby Grange in the same way. Some come for a two-week respite stay to recover after a hospital visit or to give a family carer a rest, and decide to stay. Couples can move in together, each with their own care plan, so one partner’s growing needs never mean separating the two.
Care plans are reviewed continuously, not on a fixed schedule, and because we are a small home the team notices small changes early. If a resident’s needs go beyond what residential care can safely provide, we work with the family, the GP and, where needed, Heartlands Care’s nursing homes to plan the next step together, with no pressure and no surprises.
