About Sutton in the Elms

Sutton in the Elms is a nursing home in Leicestershire. We provide nursing care for older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia or with mental ill health, people with a physical disability and people with a visual or hearing impairment. We also offer respite stays. Having registered nurses on the team means we can care for people whose health needs are complex, and we can usually go on caring for somebody as those needs increase rather than asking them to move again. Families tell us that this is what they want most, and we protect it carefully. We aim for a home that feels domestic and unhurried. People wake in their own time, eat what they enjoy and spend the day in company or quietly as they choose. Rooms belong to the residents and we treat them as private. For people living with dementia, our team works from knowledge of the person. For those with a sensory impairment, we pay attention to light, noise and how we approach somebody. We work closely with GPs and community teams so that changes in health are picked up early. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are looking at nursing care in Leicestershire, please arrange to visit and ask us whatever you need to know.
