About The Chantry

The Chantry is a residential care home in Leicester supporting adults with learning disabilities and autism. Details of the most recent CQC inspection are set out below.

The service operates across two floors with spacious single-occupancy bedrooms, each with en-suite facilities and many with their own kitchenettes and washing machines. Additional communal areas and an enclosed garden provide space for residents to spend time together.

This proactive approach identified two asymptomatic cases, allowing for prompt response to protect the health of all those using and working at the service.
