Mrs Lisa Haynes has been the acting manager for two months. The home is situated on Hinckley Road close to shops, public houses and bus routes, which lead to the centre of Leicester. There is limited parking in the road outside the home.

The accommodation is in two converted Victorian houses, which has provided spacious accommodation. There are three lounges, one dining room and one double bedroom located on the ground floor.

The home is well maintained and provides a safe, comfortable and homely environment for the residents to live in.

Outside, there is a well - maintained patio area with patio furniture and tubs of plants and flowers, which is easy to reach for the residents in the better weather.
