About Us

Here at Sycamore Cottage Residential Home, we provide a warm and homely environment for the people who live with us in Leicester, Leicestershire. We believe that moving into a care home should feel like a positive step, and we work hard to make sure every individual feels genuinely valued, heard and at ease from the moment they arrive.

We support a wide range of needs under one roof. Our team has experience caring for older adults, people living with dementia, individuals with learning disabilities or autism, those experiencing mental health difficulties, and younger adults who require residential support. We also offer respite care for those who need a short term stay, whether that is to recover after a period of illness or to give family carers a well earned rest.

Our approach is straightforward: we take the time to get to know each person properly. That means understanding their routines, their preferences, what matters to them day to day, and what brings them comfort or joy. Care plans are built around the individual rather than the other way around, and we revisit them regularly to make sure they reflect how someone's needs or wishes may have changed.

We are proud that our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission resulted in an overall rating of Good. That outcome reflects the consistency and thoughtfulness our team brings to their work every single day, and it gives families reassurance that their loved ones are in safe and capable hands.

If you are considering care for yourself or someone close to you, we would warmly encourage you to get in touch or come and visit us. Seeing Sycamore Cottage for yourself is always the best way to get a true sense of who we are and how we work.
