About Vishram Ghar

Vishram Ghar is a residential care home in Leicester, offering both long-term and short-term care across two units. Details of the Care Quality Commission's most recent findings are set out below.

This care home accommodates up to 44 older people across two separate units with adapted facilities. The first unit provides long-term care for people with complex needs, including those living with dementia, and had 20 residents at inspection. The second unit specialises in short-term care for people undergoing assessment following illness, injury or hospital discharge.

The environment was well maintained overall. The provider was in the process of building a new laundry facility, as the current one was not fit for purpose. Some minor areas required decoration and sealing.
