About Western Park View Nursing Home

Western Park View Nursing Home brings dedicated nursing care to the Leicester community, offering families a local option when looking for support for an older loved one. The team here understands how significant this decision can be, and they aim to create an environment where residents feel genuinely at home. For families in and around Leicester, having a nursing home close by can make a real difference to staying connected and visiting regularly.

This nursing home accommodates up to 60 older people, with 50 residents at inspection. The purpose-built facility features communal rooms and bedrooms across both ground and first floors.

Inspectors identified concerns around infection control, finding inadequate maintenance and practice systems in the laundry area. Environmental auditing processes lacked robustness and effectiveness. Additionally, people's risk assessment records were not consistently completed accurately, and the management team had not ensured all staff across different service areas maintained consistent standards in this area.
