Overview
The Lawns is a welcoming home set in the sought-after areas of Knighton Rise and Stoneygate, close to the charming shops and cafés of Allendale Road, with Oadby village just a short distance away. Conveniently located near the A6, the home benefits from regular bus services into Leicester. Purpose-built and beautifully furnished to a high standard, The Lawns offers both residential and respite care in a comfortable and reassuring environment.
Surrounded by lovely, landscaped gardens, the home provides spacious en-suite rooms, many furnished with traditional and antique pieces that add warmth and character. Several rooms feature patio doors opening onto a private patio or veranda, offering easy access to the gardens and peaceful outdoor spaces. Residents are warmly encouraged to bring personal belongings to make their room truly feel like home.
At the heart of The Lawns is a bright and welcoming dining room where residents can enjoy meals together and socialise. Our chef prepares a delicious selection of nutritious, home-cooked meals each day, with a choice of options always available. Special dietary needs are thoughtfully catered for, ensuring everyone can dine with confidence and enjoyment.
Residents can also enjoy a visit to the purpose-built hairdressing salon on the ground floor, where an experienced stylist regularly visits, providing a relaxing and sociable experience.
Life at The Lawns is enriched by a wide range of activities and outings, thoughtfully organised by a dedicated activities leader. The year-round programme is designed in close consultation with residents and their families, ensuring there is something for everyone to look forward to. Outings may include trips to the theatre, opera, or Leicester Racecourse, all conveniently nearby.
Most importantly, life at The Lawns is lived at your pace. This is your home, and you are free to choose how you spend your day — whether that means rising when you wish, coming and going as you please, or welcoming visitors just as you always have. Visitors are welcome at any reasonable time, and you can spend time together in the communal areas or in the comfort of your own room.
There is always something to get involved in for those who wish, but there is never any pressure. You may prefer a quiet afternoon in your room, a gentle stroll or potter in the garden, or simply relaxing with the television. Large windows throughout the home allow you to enjoy the beauty of the changing seasons — from spring blossom on the trees to squirrels visiting the bird feeders in autumn. To the rear of the home, a nearby nature reserve attracts visiting ducks and geese, offering moments of calm and connection with nature.
And, of course, there is always time to sit, chat, and form new friendships in a warm and friendly community.
