Fulfilling lives, fulfilling Careers

Our care home in Quorn offers fully personalised care in a luxurious setting.

Lonsdale Mews opened in September 2020 and offers high quality round-the-clock care services, including residential and nursing care, short stays, plus expert dementia care. Our team care for residents at every stage of their care journey.

Our Lonsdale Mews care home will offer spacious, fully furnished bedrooms, each with its own en-suite wet room. Residents are welcome to personalise their room however they wish. Some ground floor bedrooms open onto our landscaped gardens and have their own patio area. The home also has its own contemporary café, cinema and hair and beauty salon, so there is plenty to do, come rain or shine.

The care home is divided into different suites – collections of bedrooms with a dining room and lounge. Creating smaller communities in the home makes it easier for residents to get to know each other, and it keeps hustle and bustle to a minimum, which helps residents who are living with dementia. Other elements of the home’s design – such as signage, lighting and colour schemes – will also promote independence for people living with dementia.
