About The Mews

It is operated by Prime Life Limited and supports people with learning disabilities, mental health needs, and older people, as well as younger adults requiring residential care.

As a five-bed home, The Mews offers a smaller, more intimate environment compared to larger care facilities. It is situated in Leicester in the East Midlands, providing local access to the city's healthcare services and community facilities.

The home has not yet received a CQC inspection rating. This may be because it is newly registered or recently opened. Prospective residents and their families may wish to enquire directly about the home's care approach, staffing arrangements, and specific support available for individual needs.
