Brief description
New Wycliffe Home for the Blind offers care for up to 46 older people who have a visual impairment. The home is also registered to provide care for up to 20 people who have a dual impairment i.e. people who have sensory impairment and dementia.
The home is situated close to the Rushey Mead area in Leicester in its own large grounds, which are designed to enable service users with a visual impairment to use them fully.
The home has been extensively refurbished and all the communal areas are colour coded to enable people to identify their surroundings. A passenger lift or the stairs can access the first floor.
All bedrooms are single rooms with en-suite facility and are located on both the ground and first floors. There are choices of communal sitting and dining areas for people to use on both the ground and first floor.
