About Us
Midlands Care
Midlands Care is a prominent, family-founded provider of residential, dementia, and nursing care services primarily located in Leicester and Leicestershire. Established over 20 years ago, the group has grown into a regional leader, recognized for its commitment to "Asian Lifestyle" care and culturally sensitive support for diverse communities.
Who They Are
Midlands Care positions itself as a "home away from home," focusing on the emotional and cultural well-being of its residents just as much as their physical health. They are particularly noted for their expertise in Culturally Sensitive Care.
One of their standout features is providing specialized support for the ageing Asian population in Leicester. In 2023, they acquired Gokul-Vrandavan, a landmark home dedicated to Gujarati speakers, offering vegan/vegetarian meals, cultural activities, and dedicated prayer spaces. This acquisition solidified their role as a provider that understands the nuances of multi-faith and multi-ethnic care requirements.
The organization prides itself on its long-serving staff; many employees have been with the group for over a decade, which fosters a "family unit" atmosphere that residents often find more comforting than larger, more corporate facilities.
What They Do
Elderly Residential & Nursing Care
The core of their service, offering 24/7 support in high-quality facilities:
- Dementia Specialism: Homes like Alston House and Enderby Grange focus on memory care, utilizing "Dementia Care Mapping" to ensure residents are engaged and safe.
- Respite Care: Providing short-term stays to allow primary caregivers a period of rest.
- "Asian Lifestyle" Care: Specialized dietary (halal, vegetarian), religious, and linguistic support at sites like Gokul Vrandavan and The New Wycliffe.
Approach & Values
Midlands Care focuses on Compassion, Dignity, and Cultural Integrity.
They prioritise Person-Centred Care, meaning that a resident's routine—from what time they wake up to what they eat—is dictated by their own preferences rather than a rigid institutional schedule. Their approach is Innovative; they stay updated with healthcare advancements, integrating modern safety features while maintaining a warm, domestic aesthetic.
A strong emphasis is placed on "Inclusion," ensuring that no matter a person’s background, faith, or specific medical condition, they have access to a community that respects their heritage and personal history.
Industry Role

They act as a bridge between high-quality medical nursing and culturally specific lifestyle requirements, making them a preferred choice for families who want to ensure their loved ones' cultural and religious identities are preserved in their later years.
